An Ordinary, Extraordinary Love

Breaking the Ice

~

Harry is gorgeous. But something deep down in my guts tells me that he knows he is attractive. Maybe that's why he is able to get whoever he wants. Whatever his game is, he won't have me. It's obvious that we are going to have to get along for the next few weeks, but that's all it will be. And whenever Beth comes back, Harry better be nice to her. She's my best friend and I won't let anyone push her around or treat her badly.

"What do you like to listen to, Ana?" Harry repeats.

"Er, I'm not really picky towards music seletions." I say awkwardly, continuing to stare out the window.

I really didn't care what radio station he turned on. Beth loves country music, so whenever we are together all we listen to is Toby Keith. Alan Jackson and Hunter Hayes. I don't particularly like it, but I tolerate country. My favorite is feel good music. Pop or Indie. Just because I like a good beat to tap along to and I'm one to actually pay attention to lyrics.

Harry reaches for the radio tuner and flips through several stations before haulting at a rock station.

"What would you do? Do.. Do.. Do.. Can't break me down, bury me, bury me" 30 Seconds to Mars sings the bridge to the "Kill".

"I like this song" I say under my breath.

Harry chuckles quietly. "This seems a little hard for you, Ana".

I snap my head in his direction. "What's that supposed to mean?" My face turns red.

"I just wouldn't figure you to enjoy this style of music." Harry looks at me pressing his lips into a firm line.

I scoff and scold at him. "I told you, I'm open to anything"

"Okay, princess." Harry smirks and focuses his attention back at the road.

The car becomes silent as Jared Leto's solo fills the vehicle.

I glance over in Harry's direction to see his face at a complete still. He has no emotion. His fingers are clenched around the wheel of the Audi while he reaches 70mph on the highway. He exhales deeply and blinks slowly.

"Why are you so harsh to me?" He questions me quietly.

I gape at him. How can he be serious? I barley know him and he's doing a damn good job at intrudging my life as much as he can. How can I not be harsh to him.

"I'm not." I snap.

Harry tightens his grip against to wheel. "Damnit, Ana! Cut the shit and be honest with me" He growls.

Whoa.

My mouth falls open. Did he really just snap at me like that?

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me clear. Stop acting like I killed your cat or forgot you birthday six years straight. I've done nothing wrong towards you." His eyes seem to be filled with pain, if I'm not mistaken.

"I-I.." I pause.

"I just don't know how to act towards you."

Instantly, Harry breaks hard and swerves off to the side of the highway. He puts the Audi in park and turns the keys off to the ignition in a matter of second.

My mouth is once again open. Holy shit.

"Act yourself around me, Ana" Harry looks at me, pain still in his eyes.

I'm staring back at him blankly with my mouth open.

He reaches his hand slowly up to my face and tucks a loose strand of brunette hair behind my ear.

A electrifying shock roars through my body and my stomach begins to fill with butterfly. My mouth goes dry as my lips still hang open.

I am in awe.

He moves his hand to my jaw and caresses my cheek within his hand, cupping my face. His thumb inches over to my mouth and he lightly brushes my bottom lip with his thumb.

"You're beautiful, Ana. I'm not going to hurt you. I promise"

He drops his hand from my lips and turns his body facing the wheel once more as he exhales deeply.

"There is something about you, I can't pinpoint it."

I reach my fingers up to my mouth and touch my lips where his thumb was merley seconds ago.

"But, whatever it is. I can't help it."

My hands begin to tremble. He is making me so nervous. I've never felt like this before. I look down at my hands and cup them together in my lap.

I sigh lightly. "You give me the same feeling"

Harry turns to me and smiles cheekily.

Is he blushing? Holy cow. Did I just make Harry Styles blush?

He sticks the Audi's key back into the ignition and the car roars to life. I hear the turn signal click repetitively as we inch back onto the freeway.

The car in quiet again, filled with iridescent music laying quietly.

"Take a nap, Ana. We have a long ways back to your house." Harry doesn't look at me while he says this, but I can feel his body lose the tension that once was there.

I miraculously yawn. "Okay" I lean my head against the window, closing my eyes I find myself smiling before falling into a deep sleep. sdfasdfl
