Forbidden Love

Chapter ten

"Abby!" My mother says making her way to me. I could make a run for it, but I know I'd never hear the end of it.

I choose to stay put.

"Abby, where are you off to?" Her eyes go to my outfit. "And what are you wearing!?"

My eyes go wide. "Umm I'm going....I'm going to hang out with Niall!" I hope that distracts her from my outfit.

"That's great sweetie, but shouldn't you wear something more..... suitable?" It didn't.

"We're just getting coffee." I glance at the clock. "Well I better get going." I reach for the door handle.

"Ok see you later tonight, have fun..." You can tell she's huffy about my outfit.

"I will." Giving her one of my signature fake smiles I walk out the door.

Phew! That was too close. I didn't want to tell her about Harry, not yet anyway. I just have to wait for the right time.

Maybe when she's drunk. I think to myself and laugh at the thought.

My phone vibrates.

*I may be a little late.*

I text him back immediately.

*It's fine I'm running late too.*

*You're running to the coffee shop? A little odd don't you think?*

I know he has a smirk on his face right now.

*Yea I thought I'd start a new trend. "Run to the coffee shop." What do you think?*

*Well it's not my cup of tea, but you do what you got to do.*

*Don't you mean cup of coffee?^•^*

*Very funny.*

*Yes it was.^•^*

*Ok you win. I'll be at the coffee shop in ten minutes, and I'm not running.*

*Darn, lol. Ok see you there.*

I put my phone in my purse and continue walking. I'm only a block away from the coffee shop, I hadn't realized I had been walking the whole time I was texting. Time flies when you're talking to Harry.

___________________________

I pick a table in the back corner of the coffee shop. It's 12:05 Harry should be here in five minutes.

Right on time he walks through the door, looking even more gorgeous than he did last night. How is that possible? He's wearing dark jeans, a white t-shirt, boots, and his curls lay all over his head.

He spots me in the corner and makes his way over.

"Nice to meet you again." He says kissing my hand.

I blush. "Nice to meet you again."

"So shall we get some coffee?" He asks.

"Sure." I start to stand up but he puts his hands on my shoulders and pushes me back down. "Wha- what are you..."

"I'll get our coffee." He grins, showing his pearly white teeth.

I look up and smile at him. "Ok, I guess I'll just wait here then."

"Back in a few." He turns and heads to the counter.

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

Few hours later.

"Your parents really put a padlock on your window?!" I say in shock and laughter.

Harry leans back in his chair, putting is hands behind his head. "Yea. They thought it would keep me in, but what they don't know is I can pick a lock."

"So they still don't know you sneak out?" Surprise in my voice.

Harry grins showing his teeth and dimples. I had never noticed his dimples till now, they look sexy on him.

"Nope, they think I stay in my room and study all the time."

"And in reality you're out partying." I answer for him with a laugh.

He smirks. "Not all the time, sometimes I just like to get away." His smile fades.

"Like the roof..." My tone serious now.

His eyes meet mine and we stay like that locked on each other for what feels like hours.

Harry breaks his eyes away and looks down at the table. "Yea...like the roof." He looks back up at me. "What time is it?"

I glance at my phone. "It's.. 4:07!"

"We've been here four hours?!" He asks in disbelief.

"I guess so." I start laughing and he joins me. "I guess time flies when you're having fun."

"Yea, it really does." He says between laughs. "Well we probably should start heading home now."

"Yea. Don't want my parents to freak out."

I stand up and follow him to the door. He opens the door for me and I can't help but blush.

"Well thanks for the coffee and great time. We'll have to do this again sometime." I smile at him.

He smiles back at me. "Yes we will."

I turn to head to my house when I feel his hand on my shoulder. I turn around to face him.

"Do..do you want me to walk you home?" His eyes on the ground.

"No it's ok, my house is just around the corner."

He shoves his hands in his pockets. "Ok just text me so I know you made it home safe."

He's so sweet. "Don't worry I will."

"Ok, see you later." He says then leans forward and kisses my cheek. Then turns and starts walking down the street.

Damn he's mysterious. I never know what he's going to do. It's one of the many things I like about him.

With a huge smile on my face I head to my house.
