Chapter 7

'Would you like me to get you a coffee?' I nod and he walks away.

As I watch I can't help but look at his back muscles flexing as he walks to the counter, he is honestly a piece of art, I can't believe how good looking he is. I feel my phone vibrate and pull it out of my pocket, it's Mia. I unlock my phone and read the message

Mia: How's the date going ;) I laugh as I type a reply

Lylah: First of all it just started, second if you stop texting me maybe I could get time to talk to him and third it's not a date.

Harry comes over and sits down 'They'll bring the coffee over when it's ready.'

I smirk, 'yeah, I kind of have coffee here all the time' I see him start to blush and I laugh 'I'm just teasing you.'

He lifts his head up and smiles 'oh I almost forgot here's money for the coffee' I hold out the money and he just stares at it.

'Harry don't do this again please, do I have to shove it down your throat?' he laughs and takes the money 'fine, only cause I know you will actually do it... why don't we play twenty questions while were waiting for coffee?'

I laugh 'are we twelve?' Harry just shrugs, 'okay fine, you start.'

He thinks for a minute before asking me the first question 'Umm...How long have you been friends with Mia for?'

'Since the start of high school. How old is your sister?' I ask

'25, how often do you see your parents?'

'About once a month' I pause for a second a try to think of a new question. As my eyes scan him they stop at his necklace hanging from his neck, 'Are you Catholic?' I ask

'Yes...What's your most embarrassing moment' he smirks

'When I had that panic attack in the shopping centre' as soon as I say that his smile fades, I just should have made something up. Oh well...'Umm...Do you have a job?'

'Yes...well kind of... lucky number?' he asks, diverting the question from his job.

'3, what do you do for a job?'

He smiles 'I knew I'd have to tell you sooner or later. I do gigs with my friend Niall, he plays guitar and I sing, he sings as well...but I take lead. Okay...when's your birthday?'

'16th of June' I answer quickly. 'So wait a minute, you sing?' I exclaim.

Harry smiles 'yeah, I was in a band in high school we were called the White Eskimos but now I do little gigs at bars and stuff'

I nod my head smiling 'That's really cool...do you write your own songs?'

He nods his head 'yep, we try at least' we both laugh and the coffee comes out.

'Okay my question now' he says, 'would you like to come to one of our gigs?'

Excitement fills me and I place the coffee cup down on the table between us, 'are you serious!? I would love to come'

He smiles as he sips his coffee and places it down 'cool, well... why I don't I get your number and I'll text you when something comes up?'

I nod and we switch phones I type in my name and phone number, once I'm done I place his phone on the table and wait for him to finish.

Just when I think he's finished I see him pull a face and take a selfie. I laugh and look at the picture he took on my phone.

Harry picks up his phone and pouts, 'you didn't take a photo.' I shake my head 'I don't really like photos' he pulls a puppy dog face 'please!'

I giggle and shake my head 'I'm sorry, not happening and stop pulling that puppy dog face because it's not gonna work' he laughs and shakes his head 'I'll get you one day Lylah.'

The rest of the coffee... date? Would you even call it a date? Anyway it was absolutely lovely, we get along really well, were always laughing about something.

I really enjoy spending time with him and I hope he does as well, I think he does, when he's around me he smiles just as much as I do, however he might just be a smiley person in general, I haven't seen him around other people so I'm not sure.

Harry checks the time and says he has to leave, he stands up and I'm not sure what to do.

Do I stand up as well? Do I hug him? Kiss him on the cheek? Stay seated? My question is answered as he leans down and hugs me 'I'll see you later yeah?' I nod and smile.

Just before he leaves he pulls out twenty-five pounds out of his pocket and places it on the table.

Before I can protest he runs out of the door with the biggest smirk on his face, I sigh and a small laugh escapes my mouth. He gave back the money for the lunch and the coffee, I feel bad, I must be costing him a fortune. I shake my head and place the money in my wallet.

After a while I walk into the apartment to see Mia staring up at me from the couch 'hey you're back, how was it?' I feel a smile instantly come to my face 'it was really nice, he's really sweet.'

Her face softens 'aww, my baby's growing up' she wipes a fake tear and I roll my eyes, 'shut up'.

She laughs and I sit down next to her 'you look really hot by the way' I blush and hide my face

'shhh! Anyway that's not what I wanted to tell you. Harry's a musician!'

Her eyes widen and she smiles 'you're joking right?'

I shake my head and she squeals 'oh my gosh! he'll probably write a song about you' I laugh, 'I doubt that's gonna happen Mia'

She raises her eyebrows 'you never know. So does he sell albums? What's the deal?'

I clear my throat 'well... he's in a duo act with his friend, his friend plays guitar and harry sings. I don't think they sell albums buy they have small gigs at pubs and stuff, he said he'll text me when the next one is on so I can come and watch. You can come too if you want.'

'That sounds like fun, I'll come.'
