DREAM KINGS (Shawn Mendes x Harry Styles)

C h a p t e r [161]

I got nervous that I bounce my butt off the bed, ran to the door and swung it open. Mom yanks her head, her second chin's showing with a slanting brows meeting in the middle of her face. Disgusted with my looks.

"BRITISH?!"

"God. Don't shout at my face!"

"MOM! BRITISH?!"

"Yes, God. Your breath stinks! You even have morning stars–and they're solid rock! GROSS. Don't tell me you're going out there with your face looking like that!"

"Of course I'm not! I'm not like those girls in commercials when they wake up!"

"I do."

"Way to joke this early mom–whe—where is he?! What's he doing here?!"

"Probably to wash your face for you."

"He's too early!"

"Too early? For what? For cleaning your face?"

"MOM!"

"What? Wait.. wait.. DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE CHEATI—"

"SIS?" Aunt Mary calls. Her voice reaches up to my room, echoing slightly in the house.

"What?! NO! He's from the town where I'm working!"

"And? He's your what?"

"SOMEONE'S AT THE DOOR!" Aunt Mary yells again, "SIIIIIS!"

"A friend! And a friend of my boss!"

"Fine, fine, fine! Hurry up and clean that pretty face before your Aunt gets her hands on the door!"

I run to grab a towelette and came down the stairs, rushing like a bolt to get into the bathroom fast, but it was too late. As I was about to take a turn, he speaks.

"May?"

I stopped, feet twitching, "O—OH! Ha—Harry.. Hi.." I said immediately covering my whole face with the towel.

"May, this young man's been waiting for you outside and he's dressed like.. a.. businessman. Where are you two going?" Aunt Mary asks.

"A party."

"This early?"

I shrug, "I don't know too. I don't know why he came here with the sun just about to start cursing at everyone."

Harry just smiled. Showing his cute dimples.

"Well, you still should have woken up extra early. You shouldn't be making someone–or anyone wait."

My jaw dropped, she twisted sides in a snap. He raised a brow, teasing me even more.

"I'll leave you two. And why are you covering your face, be proper in front of a gentleman."

"I haven't washed my face yet. It's embarrassing."

"Right. I'll go, so you can talk more comfortably." She said, then walked away.
