“Dad! I’m leaving see ya in about an hour!” I shouted through the door that divided the two hotel rooms. We were in England visiting with my Aunt. I was going to meet her for lunch and some shopping while my parents took a nap.
“Okay love!” he called back “Be safe!”
I grabbed my keys and sunglasses off the table and opened the door to leave my room. Little did I know that simple action would change my life.
BAM! “Ouch!” I felt something, or someone, collide with my door.
“Oh my god!” I gasped “Are you okay?!” The boy was sitting on the floor. A hand to his forehead, he was wearing a beanie, jeans, black Vans, and a Ramones T-shirt “I’m so sorry.”
“It’s fine.” His hand was still to his face “I wasn’t looking wear I was going.”
“Here let me help you.” I helped him up and brought him into my room to get him some ice. “Have a seat at the counter, I’ll get you some ice.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s no problem. After I hit you with my door.”
He chuckled “You didn’t hit me I ran into it.”
“Why were you running?”
“My mate was chasing me down the hall.”
“Ah.” That makes sense. What my friend once chased me around the block for calling her boyfriend. It was hilarious.
I handed him an ice pack wrapped in a dish towel “I’m Madison, by the way.”
He smiled at me “Harry.” His eyes were this striking green that I could get lost in for hours.
“Nice to meet you Harry.”
“My pleasure running into your door. Now I should probably be going. My frie-”
“COME BACK HERE HAROLD! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ATE MY CARROTS!” We heard an incredibly loud voice bellow from the hall.
“That would be Lou.” He got up and opened my door “Right here Boo!”
I walked over to the door beside Harry. That’s when I saw Louis Tomlinson. I wasn’t an obsessed fan but I liked their music well enough to know that Louis was known for wearing red pants and a striped shirt. Add in “Harry” and “Carrots” I’m not stupid.
“Wait a second. Your Harry Styles?”
Harry looked at me and smiled “Guilty.”
“That’s cool.”
“HARRY!”
“Yes Louis?”
”Why are you in a girl’s room? Are you cheating on me? You move fast. And she didn’t even know who you were?!”
“Hi I’m Maddie.” I smiled and gave Louis a little wave.
“Hello Maddie I’m Louis.” He flashed his famous grin.
“I ran into her door trying to avoid you Boo.” Harry explained.
“Your coordinated.”
“Shut up.”
“Thanks for taking care of Curly here..” Louis slapped Harry on the back “Now Harold. Where are my carrots?”
“Under Niall’s bed.”
“WHAT? HE’LL EAT THEM!” and Louis was off. Harry watched him go, shaking his head before turning to me.
“Thanks again, I’m glad I ran into your door and not someone else’s.”
I laughed and he bowed “My pleasure.”
He sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck “Could I maybe get your number?”
Are you kidding me? Harry Styles wants my number. “Yeah sure give me your phone.” Obediently he handed over his Iphone and I put my number into it. We said our goodbyes once again and he walked down the hall as I retrieved my sunglasses from my room when my phone started ringing. Unknown number. I hit talk anyway.
“Hello?”
“Just making sure I got the right number.” A cheeky voice replied. Harry.
“I’m sorry who this is?”
“Miss, did anyone run into your door today?”
“No this is the carrot supplier.”
“Very funny Maddie.” He laughed “No Lou it’s not really the carrot supplier!”
“Good luck with that Harry.”
“Bye Maddie/”
I hung up the phone, got into the lift, and went to meet my Aunt.
Did I have a story for her.
“Piper will die when she here’s this.”
I didn’t think about that. Piper was my cousin that loved music. One Direction included. She had some problems lately though, with her father’s death and a recent break-up with her boyfriend.
Music seems to get her through the rough patches though. She’s 18 but I don’t think she’ll be moving out until she’s back on her feet. “Maybe he’ll agree to meet her.” I shrugged.
“That would be great! Maybe it will cheer her up!” I love my aunt. She is so awesome I can’t even explain it. I could tell her anything and not have to worry about what she thought or did. She e would always support and be happy for me.. Unless I was making a mistake, she would talk me through it and guide me to a better understanding through her opinions. My Aunt Rose is a therapist can you tell?
“I’ll ask him.”
“Wait until he’s gotten to know you so he can be sure you aren’t trying to schmooze off of him.” She said “It’s understandable if he can’t.”
“You’re right. So what’s the news with work?” I asked taking a chip from my plate. As she talked on and on my thoughts drifted to green eyes and perfect curls on their own accord.
*Harry’s POV*
“So…..you like that girl huh?” Louis asked when I made it back to our room. He was lying on the bed with a bag of carrots, his chin in his hands.
“Yeah mate. I don’t know. It’s like when she helped me she didn’t notice who I was and then when she did realize, there wasn’t any fan-girling.”
“I can’t believe this.” Lou muttered before burying his face in his hands and pretending to cry. “ Hazz doesn’t need me anymore!”
I burst out laughing. Like I couldn’t even breathe laughing. “I’ll. always. love. you. Boo.” I said between laughs “I have to share you with Eleanor don’t I?”
He grinned at his girlfriend’s name. I wish he would just propose already. The fans love El.
“Okay!” he said munching on his carrots.
