Tangled

Chapter 4

Holly was in foul pissed off mood the next day.

"Thanks ALOT, Ash" Holly spat at me, literally. I got a spray of spit all over me.

"Gross!" I yelled. "Holly, piss off!"

I kicked her away with my left foot and she went flying.

Oops, forgot I went to karate lessons as a kid.

Mum saw the whole thing and went to pick a now howling Holly up.

"Ashley Harmony Snow!" Mum yelled at me, and I was shocked. Mum had never yelled at me. Ever.

"Mum, Holly, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...I just..." I stammered.

"Get out of this house and come back when you've GROWN UP!" Mum yelled at me.

I obediently walked out, guilty for what I did. Holly, may be the most spoilt little brat, but I sure do love her.

I dug my hands in my pockets. Growing up, thats all I need to do. My birthday is in less than a month. Christmas day. My parents were holidaying in the Bahamas when I decided to pop out. Maybe thats why they resent me. And then six years later out came the most loveliest girl you will ever meet.

I remember Jeremy who was eight at the time saying Holly looked like a prune. That was the funniest thing I had ever heard. I remember laughing so hard, Dad had to take me and Jeremy outside. He scolded us and I started crying. Dad went in and Jeremy hugged me saying it was alright and he called Dad something I probably shouldn't know and should never know. I smiled to myself before I heard my name being called from across the street.

"Ash?!" Harry called.

I looked up. "Harry! Hey how are you!?" I said back, Harry ran over.

"I was just going for a walk" Harry said, grinning a lopsided grin that showed off dimples. I loved dimples.

"Care to join?" He asked and I nodded. 

He linked arms with me (Much to my suprise) and we went off.

We talked about nonsense, London, Chesire and of course cats. 

He paid for my bus fare around London (Of course, I'm being rude, I'm from London!), we took a doubledecker and Harry took my hand and we went to the top.

"Its amazing!" I said, astounded.

Harry looked at me weirdly. "You've never ever been on a double decker?"

I looked down. "Not even a bus" 

"Why would that be?" Harry asked, pulling my chin up and his face was right next to mine, our noses touching.

I pulled away. Too soon.

"Mum detests buses, says their full of germs"

Harry laughed. "Germs?"

I laughed too. "Shes weird I tell you!"

We both laughed together. The bus stopped.

"Come on!" Harry said. "Lets go on the London Eye!" 

I have lived seventeen years in London and I have never been on the London Eye.

Harry grabbed my hand and we ran through the crowd.

"Two tickets to the London Eye!" Harry said, paying for me again.

We got in one pod. It started going up.

I looked at everything like I was a 5 year old in a candystore.

"Wow!" I stammered.

Harry looked at me. "You seem excited"

"I have never been on the Eye before" I smiled at him.

"You What?!" Harry was shocked. "First a double decker bus, now the London Eye!, You're like a tourist or something"

I laughed. "No, My parents are just strict and annoying."

Harry laughed. "I see" He got up and pulled me down.

"Sit and watch the marvelous view" Harry sighed.

"The big ben!" I shout. "Mum's favourite street to shop!"

"The thames river!" Harry yells.

We started yelling out random things.

The pod went to the ground, Harry and I coming out, in a fit of giggles.

A girl spotted Harry.

"HARRY STYLES!?"

Harry looked at the screeching group of girls and grabbed my hand.

"Run!" He yelled and we both gaped it.

We ran and ran to a row of expensive apartments. Harry quickly punched in a digit and dragged me inside.

"Why are we here?!" I asked, puffing. "Do you live here?"

"I do" Harry said, not letting go of my hand. "Come, we'll be safe here"

We went to the top floor and into Harry's Penthouse.

I opened my mouth in wonder. "This is soo AMAZING"

Harry grinned. "Take a seat, I'll just get us some drinks"

I sat on the plush satin silk couch. How many lucky ladies come here each night I wonder?

Harry came back with two cans of coke. "One for me and one for you"

I took it and pulled the ring, coke flying out, making me drenched.

Harry started laughing so hard.

"You set me up!" I yelled splashing coke on him.

"Hey!" Harry grinned and I splashed more coke on him.

He wrestled me to the ground, pouring more coke on me. We both laughed and looked at eachother.

Harry looked at my lips and then my eyes and suddenly we both were silent. He leaned in.

Oh Ash, what are you doing? You've only known him for a day.

I got up quickly.

"Sorry I have to get going!" I stammered.

"Oh, really? Well, you're drenched in coke." Harry replied.

"It doesn't matter" I said "It was a really fun day"

He got out his phone. "Number?"

I put in my number. 

"We can have more fun days, eh?" Harry grinned and I found myself hugging him.

"Sure!" I said and Harry pulled out some cash.

"The bus fare"

I smiled. "Thanks" And I walked out of his room clearly smiling to myself.
