Tough Love

Chapter 4

Lauren: I ran my straighter threw my thick hair one more time. My hair had to be perfect for tonight. I stood up and moved to my full body mirror to examine myself. I was wearing jeans with a white ruffle beater, plus I had white toms on. I stared at my face to make sure my makeup was perfect and not cakey. I hated when girls did that to themselves. My phone vibrated and I gently picked it up, it was from Harry. It was about midafternoon, and he was on his way to get me. He didn’t tell me where we were going but I imagined some restaurant for lunch or Starbucks. I didn’t care where we were, I just wanted to be with him. I stared at myself one more time in the mirror. I kept telling myself over and over again that this was not happening, but it really was. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world, well… right now. I grabbed my purse and made my way down the stairs to say goodbye to my mother. I flopped down on the love seat in my living room and waited. I heard footsteps come down stairs and I turned to say bye to my mom, but it was Rodger. He came over to the love seat were I was sitting and knelt down. “Have a great time, ok? Don’t let anything bother you tonight.” He smiled at me. This made me feel ten times better. I stood up and hugged him, when I did so I realized that I’ve never been close with him. He was only 20, so I didn’t know why we didn’t really talk that much. Pondering this fact I hugged him a little tighter. I broke the hug when I heard my phone vibrate. He was here. “Bye mom!” I shouted and ran out the door. I was confused when I saw that it wasn’t Harry, but another man. I stopped in my tracks, and he spoke. “Harry sent me Miss; I will be driving you to your destination.” I smiled and nodded. I proceeded to walk to the car and the man opened the door for me. I was in the car for a while it seemed, however it was only around 30 minutes. I looked out the window and we were somewhere I didn’t recognize. Strange because I’ve lived in this area my whole life and Harrys only had been here a couple of days. We pulled into some parking lot and the driver let me out. I looked around at the beautiful sight. Cherry blossom trees filled a lovely park, with a deep blue lake. There was nobody here, which was kind of odd because this place was magnificent. I turned my head to survey the rest of the park when I saw him. He looked at me and smiled. He slowly started to walk over to me and I did the same. “Hello, love. It’s great to see you again!” he gently hugged me then kissed me on the cheek. I felt my face get hot and I was slightly embarrassed because I knew my cheeks were probably stop sign red. “Where are we?” I said then awed at the sight. He laughed but did not respond he took my hand and lead me closer to the park. I noticed the driver had left, and we were alone. The feeling was weird, being completely alone with Harry Styles. We stopped at a gazebo right by the lake. We stepped in and he looked around a little confusingly. “Shoot, I forgot something. Wait here!” he started jogging back to the parking lot, to his car I assumed. I sat down on the gazebos seat and looked out at the lake. It was absolutely beautiful; I wondered how he found this place. I saw him jogging back with a basic in his hand, a picnic? How cute. He stepped up on the gazebo and placed the basket down. “Were having a little lunch.” He smiled big, and I could see his dimples. They were so perfect, just like him. He reached into the basket and laid out a blanket. We sat down and started talking. This day had just begun and it was already perfect.

Harry: We talked about everything, Family, friends, sports, life, music. I felt like I really knew her. She told me she was 16, and in high school, she lived with her mum and her brother. She was absolutely hilarious. We spent an hour or so talking, but my legs were cramping up so I got up. “Want to take a walk by the lake?” I put my hand out to her for her to take. She grabbed it lightly and got up. I didn’t let her let go of my hand. I put my fingers in between hers and we started too walked down to the lake silently, until she broke it. “Race you.” She winked and started to half walk half jog away. I smiled and started to run after her. Her hair flowed in the breeze and she reminded me of a model doing a photo shoot or something. She turned her head to look at me and she flashed he perfectly white teeth. I started to run faster to catch her. When I finally got close to her I lunged for her waist. I grabbed her and we went down. We crashed onto the ground, but I made sure she was on top of me so she wouldn’t get hurt. She landed on top of me and was an inch away from my face. We both giggled and she looked right into my eyes. Her eyes were gleaming. Just another thing that was amazingly perfect about her. I felt her breath on mine and I looked at her lips. She smiled then bit her bottom lip lightly. I couldn’t take it any longer and I moved my head a closer to hers. Our lips crashed together gently, and time seemed to stop. I wanted to be in this moment forever, but she pulled away. She looked at me again in the eyes and laughed. She rolled off of me and I turned my head and looked at her. She was staring into the sky, I watched her eyes look around and I laughed a bit. She looked back over to me and scotched closer, she put her head on my chest and continued to look into the sky. I don’t think that this day could have gotten any better.
