The time read on the clock, placed my nightstand. Every minute passing was increasing my stress level. I had no idea what Mr.Tomlinson might say but I was still a mousy mess.
I had taken a short nap and was now fishing through my closet to find an outfit. I wasn't trying to impress him or anything, this wasn't even a date.
Or was it?
Five more minutes of me searching, I finally settled on a Plain back knitted jumper paired with some black skinny jeans.

I walked into the living room where Liam, Niall and Zayn were all seated, watching a movie. After leaving me alone with Mr.Tomlinson, the boys didn't walk down too far and I told them what Mr.Tomlinson had asked for. they all looked equally puzzled by the information yet took news fairly well.
Zayn and I returned back to the dorm house while Liam and Niall decided to join us. They owned an old chevy which they had bought from a local guy around the area and even offered me a ride to the café.
"Looking good harry" Niall beams at me.
"Thanks Ni"
"You all set ?" Liam asked
"I guess" I mumble
"Nervous?" Zayn questioned
"I guess"
"Excited?" Said, Niall
"I gue- hey.."
"Aren't you a little? You're going on your first date after all"
"This isn't a date Niall" I respond with disappointment evident in my voice.
"But you said he asked you out to the coffee shop"
"Ordered me to be there is a better explanation"
"It's going to be just fine haz" zayn comforts
"I don't have any idea why he wants to see me there I mean what does he wanna talk about"
"We don't know either buddy," says Liam
"He sounded so serious and I've been feeling so bad about the whole me being a prick to him. What if I blew my chance with him I mean not that was hoping for something, but you know how he was all so lovey-dovey and then he was the one who initiated the kiss, both of the times and I just stood there, I mean what is wrong with me. I should have kept my distance, he will probably break my heart just like-" I rant breathlessly.
"Harry!" Niall cuts me off.
"Huh?"
"calm down mate" zayn stands up to give me a hug which of course I return.
"It can't be that bad" Liam reassures but he himself had a doubtful expression on his face.
"You did nothing wrong, Harry, it was he who was enchanted by your looks" I see Niall smirking
"Oh god lets just go" I whine and that is exactly what we do.
I reach the café by 4:05 and look around the place with no sign of Mr.Tomlinson. I scan the entire place to find that I was the only one there. That's odd because this place usually has a lot of people.
I remember coming here with zayn numerous times because of how tasty their food is and the place is almost always packed to capacity.
Finding myself a seat I continue to look around but my observations are knocked off by someone tapping on my shoulder. I brace myself to face the man who's been the reason for my sleepless nights but I am instead met by a young girl who seemed to be about 18 or maybe 19.
She had such familiar features yet I couldn't recall seeing her before.

"Hi I'm Charlotte and you must be Harry"
"Eh?"
"Harry Styles?" She questions.
"Yeah I'm Harry"
"Oh well Louis is on his way, I'm sorry for him being a lazy bum but in the meantime can I get something for you?"
"You know Mr.Tomlinson?"
"Mr.Tomlinson? damn!" she chuckles "then maybe you should call me Miss Tomlinson because I'm his sister"
So that's why she seemed so familiar!
"It's very nice to meet you Miss Tomlinson" I smile back
"Lovely to meet you too and you can call me Lottie" she winks
"Okay Lottie" I test out the new name given to me
"Well, anything for you?"
"Um can I have a vanilla latte with a shot of that caramel cream"
"Sure" she chirps "something to munch on while my brother gets here?"
"No, I'm alright"
"Be right back" and with another smile, she disappears from my view probably making my order.
She doesn't take long to return and place my cup on the table while taking the seat opposite mine.
"I can keep you company if you'd like?"
"I'd like that very much, thank you"
"You're a polite young man, good for me" she speaks.
"For you"
"Yeah, all of Louis's other dates and no, my brother does not date people like crazy, in fact, he hasn't told me about seeing anyone since last year but then again the ones I did knew have always been these stuck up jerks but you seem nice. Very handsome as well" she giggles
I feel the heat rise up to my cheeks as I desperately try to hide behind my coffee mug just as the doorbell jingles to notifying that someone has entered the café.
And Soon after that, I see Mr.Tomlinson walking over in my direction with a slight smile on his face. He sure seemed less vexed than earlier. The two siblings embrace in a short hug while he whispers something in her ear that I can't quite catch on.
Taking a seat in front of me he gives me a dashing smile and that surely takes away any grudge I had held in, making me squirm under his gaze at the same time.
Neither of us had spoken a single word even after Lottie had returned placing another mug on the table presumably Mr.Tomlinson's coffee. Not being able to the maintain eye contact for another moment I decide to shift my eyes to my hands linked on top of the table
What I wasn't expecting was another pair to ever so gently move them and link them with their own.
I glance up to find him looking at me in such a way as if I was the most admirable thing he has seen.
.We sit quietly for another 5. Minutes eyes never leaving each other and fingers intertwined in complete silence
And finally, the tranquil end with him whispering softly
