S.W.A.G - She wants a Gentleman (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

2 Months later

It was May and I only had one day to buy Lizzie an acceptable birthday present. I struggled trough the crowds of people and went into the TopShop. I saw a cute black and white bodycon dress with one shoulder. It would fit perfectly to her. I decided to buy it because I knew that she'd like it.

I went into a Starbucks at the corner and ordered a Java Chip Chocolate Cream. Suddenly, my phone rumaged in my pocket. It was Lizzie. "Why hello sexy cucumber." I giggled in the phone. "Where are you?" She asked, meaning that she would appear in less than 10 minutes. "Starbucks at Covent Garden. Why?" "I'm going to be there in 5 minutes." Great, now I have to find an excuse why I bought a dress, because Lizzie knew that I'd never wear such a dress. I hung up and waited for her to enter the café.

With no delay, she entered the Starbucks and dropped herself on the massive leather couch. "And you are here why?" I looked at her confused. "Well, is it illegal to spend time with his best friend?" She raised her eyebrow. Woops! She noticed that I hid something from her. I shook my head and stood up. "Where are you going?" She asked. "Just going to the toilet." I said and walked away.

I checked my hair, and threw it up in a messy bun. Then I removed the smudged eyeliner with water. I really looked like someone had raped me or something. Luckily, I always had my mini-toiletry bag with me.

I was busy with my phone when I went outside again. Suddenly, someone bumped into me. "Hey watch it!" I said and rubbed my head. "Oh my, I'm sorry!" A deep husky voice said. I looked up to see who it was. My breath stuck in my throat. It was no one other than Harry Styles. What the hell was he doing here? A lot of people would recognise him. "I'm fine, sorry for bumping into you." I stood up and quickly walked away. "Hey! Doesn't matter ok?" He shouted and winked. I smiled and winked back.

Deep inside I hoped that Lizzie hadn't followed the whole scenery. I sat down again and took the menu card. "So, what do you want to drink? Or do you want something to eat? I'll pay." I could see trough the menu card, that she knew what was going on. "I already ordered myself a frappuchino. But what about you? Oh and by the way, stop smiling like an idiot int othe menu card! I know that something is going on!"

She knew me too good. I sighed and put down the menu card. When it came to boys, I was very quiet and kept my cards really close. "Spit it out girl!" She said more excited and nudged me in the ribs. "Alright... I bumped into-" The waitress interrupted me. "Excuse me? This friendly boy at the bar over there donated you girls a drink!" She placed two cocktails in front of us. "Er... thanks... I guess?" She nodded and walked away. Lizzie looked at me like I was an alien or something. "What?! Do you think I've paid him that he donated us drinks?" No answer. "ELIZABETH KELSEY BELFAIR!" She jumped and shook her head. "Look behind you.... oh my goodness! That's Harry Styles... and he's starring at you!" I slowly glanced around. He just sat there, smiling. Then he raised his glas and nodded to me. I smiled and quickly turned around again.

Lizzie was really amused about my behaviour and giggled. I took a sip from my cocktail out of the straw. When I finished it I saw a little paper sticking at the ground. I scraped it away from the bottom and tried to read it. Unfortunately, it was soaked and the black scribble was smudged. "Damn it! He wanted to give me his number, but the paper is soaked and I can't read it anymore..." I almost cried. Lizzie sighed and gave me a napkin. "Thanks!" I was just about to use it for my eyes when she slapped my hand. "Not your eyes you twat! Here's a pen. If you can't read his number, give him yours!" This girl was genius. I quickly scribbled down my number and a short message. You obviously can't ask a girl for her number and you're such a genius to put a paper into something wet. Anyway, here's my number. (Insert Number here) Stella x

I took the napkin and walked over to him. He had his back to me. Perfect. I flapped the napkin over his head and walked away. I didn't really care if he was looking at me now, or not. I grabbed my bag, and jumped out of the door, with a freaking out Lizzie. "Oh my god, oh my god, kill me, what the hell?" I raised my eyebrow at her. "Is everything alright?" She nodded as she relaxed again. "Hello girl? You just gave Harry freaking Styles your number!" I sighed and walked to my car. "Yeah whatever... he wouldn't message me either..." But I was completly wrong with that. Five seconds later, my phone buzzed.

1 new message from : Unknown Number

Hey. It was nice to bump into you hahahaha. I swear I've seen you before, but idk where. Please help me to find out? Harry x

I giggled, saved his number in my phone book and replied.

Message to : Harry :)

I'm such a dumb girl. Sorry anyway, for bumping into you. Oh yeah, I was at the signing 2 months ago. I gave you that iPhone case with a cat on it and remember you gave me the 10 hahahaha. Stella x

Ooops! I mentally slapped myself as I sent the message. I shouldn't have mentioned the '10' he gave me. He might think, that I was a show-off, and he would never reply me again. But then... my phone buzzed.

1 new message from : Harry :)

Stop apologizing! It was cute how you blushed ;) Oh right, now I recognize you again. I use this iPhone case ever since. I love it :D Mmhhh, I think I was completely right with the 10. Harry x

Cute? I don't want to be cute. I never was cute. Ok, everyone says that I am cute but I used to hate it. Suddenly, someone tipped on my shoulder. It was a very annyoed Lizzie. "What?" I asked her innocently. "First of all, we reached your car five minutes ago and you're replying to Harry like there's no tomorrow. Second, I want home. I have to prepare a birthday party." I sighed and climbed on the drivers seat. Harry had to wait.
