What is love?

The phone call

I look at it confused and open it cautiously, slowly, and my jaw drops when I read what it says:

Glad you remembered to empty your pockets

Call me beautiful ;)

Harry x x x

And his number written underneath.

I am in complete shock. What do I do? Does he want me to call him? Of course, he must do! He doesn't just randomly give out his numbers to girls! Or does he? Why would he say "call me beautiful" if he didn't want you to call him? Oh my days! I walk out of the kitchen and into the hall way. You pick up the phone and carefully dial the number of the piece of paper.

-------------------------------

The phone rings for a few seconds then somebody picks up. I hear a muffled sound from the other end and then a man says

"hello?". He sounds upset, disappointed.

"Erm, Hi" I say. "Is this Harry?", there is a crackling noise coming through the line.

"Who is this?", the man says. I sigh. Maybe it wasn't Harry Style's number anyway. "Who is this?", the man repeats, sounding slightly annoyed.

"Erm, this is Evie" I reply, "I, er, I might have met you earlier?" I say as if trying to convince yourself. "Is this Harry Styles?" I ask politely.

"Er, no, no it's not" the man sounds unsure.

"Oh, okay then. Look sorry to bother you I must have the wrong number. Er, bye", and I hang up the phone. I sigh again. I am confused. And slightly embarrassed too. I put the phone down and start to head upstairs when the phone starts ringing. I stop, turn around and walk back towards the phone. I stare at it for a few seconds, pondering whether to pick it up or not, and then I answer.

"Hello?" I say.

"Hi, is this Evie did you say?". It was the man I had just spoken too.

"Er, yes. Why?" I am still confused.

"And you say you met me earlier?". I frown.

"Sorry?".

"This is Harry. Harry styles. Ring any bells?". I gasp in shock.

"Really? So it was Harry I was talking to a minute ago? You lied to me?".

"Yes, NO! I meant, I thought you were just another crazed fan who had somehow got my number and was trying to contact me. I get it all the time. Sorry. Forgive me?". I smile,

"yes, of course. But, you sounded so upset on the phone just now, what was wrong?", I ask, kindly.

"You." he replies.

"Huh?" I don't understand.

"I was upset because I didn't think you were going to call me. I thought you forgot to empty your pockets" he laughs. "I couldn't bear the thought of not seeing you again, not hearing your voice.", there is silence from both ends of the line.

"Oh", I say finally, shock hitting me harder than an elastic band. Suddenly my mum comes home from picking my brother up. "Look I have to go" I say.

"Wait! No, I have to see you again. Meet me tomorrow, at the park, 2-ish? Please?". I don't even need to think about this. The chance to meet Harry Styles twice in the same week?! Any girl would jump at the chance of this! So that is just what you do,

"Of course I will!" I say to him happily, "But I really have to go now",

"Okay see you tomorrow babe", and I put the phone down.

"Who was that?" My mum asks me.

"Oh, just Alice, I left my lip gloss in her bag, that's all", and I run upstairs to really call Alice and Chloe and tell them the news, shaking a little that Harrys Styles just called me babe.

-----------------------------

I open my eyes in the morning, everything is blurry. I give my eyes a minute or too to adjust to the light and then check the time on my phone: 12:47.

BUGGER!

I jump out of bed and hop in the shower. I am done in 5 minutes, I get changed quickly into my navy blue denim shorts and a floaty white top. I dry my hair and put it into a loose bun.I apply my make up as quickly as I can, without rushing and taking clown form. I put on a pretty necklace, some earrings and a bracelet, slip on my sandals and go downstairs. I grab an apple and head for the door, picking up my bag on the way out,

"just going to Chloe's for a bit mum, see you later!", I yell, and I shut the door on my way out. Off I go.
