That brat; who did he think he was? I was grumbling unintelligible things in my mind as I stormed into my car. I sped down the street and parked in front of a grocery store. I slammed my door still enraged. Who the hell did Charlie think he was? Honestly… I quickly scanned the isles pulling different things off shelves putting most of the things back. I just wanted to grab a snack of sorts and head over to Grace’s where I wouldn’t be questioned. I settled on a bin of mint chocolate ice-cream and went over to pay. I handed the woman some money and rushed outside paying more attention to the cold ice cream in my hand. “Ooof.” I let out a grunt as I was pushed to the side. I looked up from my place now on the ground up at a strange looking guy.

“What’s with the fake mustache?” I asked him.

“I can’t believe you could tell.” He said ripping the furry thing off of his face and helping me up. “Sorry for rushing into you.” He apologised.

“It’s okay.” I told him brushing off my jeans. I looked up and met very familiar eyes.”Harry? What are you doing here?” I asked him. He gestured toward the store.

“He lost the McLean pizza number so I came to pick up a frozen one.” He told me shrugging.

“You know my uncle owns that place right? You could just call me.” I told him. He laughed and smiled.

“In all honesty I did.” He told me. Oh… I pulled out my phone. Yup out of battery. He laughed.

“So what was your rush?” He asked.

“Oh dear god don’t get me started.” I moaned. He gave me a small pity smile.

“That bad?”

I sighed deeply. “Do you really want to know?” I asked raising an eyebrow.

“Yeah I got time. Louis can find food on his own, he’s a big boy.” He laughed smiling at me again showing his deep dimples.

“Well okay. Do you uh want to follow me? We can go to my house, It’s not that far.”

He nodded. “Actually Liam dropped me off on his way to Danielle’s place. Can I get a ride?”

I nodded happy for some company on the way home. “Yeah follow me.” I told him happily. It’s funny how fast my mood can change. Or at least how I could forget for a moment. He followed me to my old bug.

“This… is your car?” He asked in that beautiful accent. I nodded pleased with the fact I even had a car. He shrugged and tried to get in the side.

“Oh yeah… It can stick.” I told him climbing into the driver’s seat and leaning across to open it from the inside. I started the car and turned up the radio.

“I thought I had my girl but she ran away.” The song started. That’s all it took for Harry to recognize it.

“My car got stolen and I'm gonna be late

For work this week, make that the fourth day straight

But I'm fine with it” He continued. I laughed even though his clear voice was beautiful.

“What?” He asked.

“Oh nothing.” I laughed.

“Will now I’m off my game and can’t finish the song.” He told me shrugging.

“Oh Harry don’t be that way.” I laughed. He shook his head. “Oh please! Please sing for me Harry.” Finally he gave in but turned off the radio. And sang viva La Vida all the way until I parked in my drive. “That was beautiful.” I told him still in awe of with the voice that had filled my ears moments ago. I got out of the car with my ice cream and harry. I walked up and into the house with Harry closely behind me. “No one’s home.” I told him quickly grabbing two spoons and running up the stairs to my room. I jumped onto my bed and patted the stop beside me. Harry sat beside me and grabbed a spoon opening the ice cream.

“Do tell.” He told me ready to hear the whole story. I picked up the other spoon.

Half an hour later Harry was fully informed and stuffed of ice cream. I groaned pushing the empty ice cream pail away.

“Hello?” My brother’s voice called. I moaned internally. Why did he have to show right now?

“Hi!” I called back to him. I heard his feet coming towards my door soon the handle was turned and William revealed himself.

“Oh.” He said narrowing his eyes at Harry. “I was just letting you know that Grace told me to tell you to call her.” I laughed at his loose translation.

“Okay thanks William.” I said gesturing for him to go.

“Fine but I’m leaving the door open. Oh and what would Charlie think of this?” I shook my head at my brother.

“Considering I just broke up with him he shouldn’t care.” I replied before closing the door behind him. “Sorry bout him. He’s just… caring.” Harry smiled at me from his position now on the floor. He must have rolled there before William came in.

“Well… I better go.” He said. I nodded and we both stood to walk to the front door. Just as I opened it my mother and father came in carrying brown bags full of food for dinner.

“Oh hi Lauren.” My mom smiled at me. “Who’s your friend?”

“He’s just leaving.” I informed my parents. Harry stuck his hand out for shaking to both my parents.

“I’m Harry Lauren’s friend.” My mom looked at me wide eyed.

“Well don’t be so rude Lauren. Invite him for dinner.” My mom exclaimed. Oh god here it is…

“He can’t-“ I started.

“I would love to. Thank you Mrs. Mclean.” Harry smiled. My mom returned it and walked out of the door.

“Harry! Come back at six! We’ll have a setting for you at the table!”
