She sniffs as she looks up in the mirror. A monster with black streaks running down its face looks back at her. She sighs at the image before her and decides to ignore it. A light taping takes her attention away from the mirror and to the window. I tall man with wild brown hair stood there tapping on her window with his key. She quickly rolled down her window, wiping her face slightly before looking up at the man. "Um....Yes?" she asks.
"Hi um could you please move your car." his accent clear as day "your blocking me in." he said gesturing to a slick black mustang that sat beside her.
"Oh uh ya... hold on." The man backs away from the car to give her room to pull up. she turns the key to start the car but she engine starts and shuts down. She tries it again and the same thing happens. she she shakes her head and climbs out of the car. could this day get any worse.
"Uh is there a problem love?" The man asks.
"Uh yeah... first of all don't call me love and second my car won't start" she say and lifts the hood.
"It's the battery" he says
"Huh?"
"It's the battery that's why it's not turning on." he says pointing at the engine
"How do you know? Do you have jumper cables?" She says putting he hands on her hips.
"I just do and no I don't have jumper cables." he says walking over to her and closing her hood. She puts her head in her hands and starts walking away but before she can get to far he speaks up. "Wait where are you going!"
"Im walking home because my fucking car is a piece of shit!"
"No you can't leave your car is still blocking my car! At least help me push it out of the way."
"Fine!" says and walk back over to the car and starts to push. They push together until the car is far enough away for the man to pull out.
"Thanks ..uh.. can i give you lift home?" He asks opening the door to his car.
"Um no, I've got it." she says stubbornly.
"Please just let me give you a lift, come on!" he says leaning on his car.
"I don't know .... I don't even know your name." she says
"Well in that case......i'm Harry" he says and sticks out his hand.
"Im Riley" she shakes his hand hesitantly.
"Your carriage awaits" Harry opens the door for her and she climbs in. they drive for about 2 minutes in awkward silence until Harry says "I um don't actually know where i'm going, I need directions to your house please."
"Oh right um take a left here and go straight until you hit Chestnut road then take a right and drive until you come to an intersection then take a left And drive straight until you come to oak wood apartment complex."
"Ok thanks love." he says and turns
"Please don't call me that."she mutters
"Oh im sorry force of habit" he says and tightens his grip on the wheel.
"You're fine.... so um when'd you come America?" she asks, her curiosity taking the Best if her.
"Im sorry what?" He asks raising his eyebrows.
"Oh uh I said when did you come to America?" she says again.
"What are you talking about I've always been here." an unreadable expression playing on his face.
"Oh um im sorry I just thought... uh never mind." she says confused and a little embarrassed
"I was just kidding! obviously I'm from England." his deep laugh fills the car . "I came her like 3 years ago with my father and my stepmom."
"Oh.... You still live with your dad?" she says surprised.
"I did back then but now I have my own apartment. Although I visit him a lot we don't live far apart."
"Oh where do you live? if that doesn't sound to creepy." she says and mentally slaps her forehead for even asking.
"No your fine love" Riley groans about to tell him not to say that when he says "oh I'm sorry like I told you force of habit. Anyway I know where you live so its only fair for you to know where I live. An eye for an eye. I live in the skyline apartment building." He looks at her for a moment but then focuses back on the road.
"No way that's like the most expensive apartment buildings in town!" She says astonished.
"Yeah actually my father owns the building so I live there for free." he says nonchalant.
"I can't believe this! that's crazy wow! your dad is like really rich! Your really rich!" Riley says in amazement. the fact that she is scraping through life. Barely making enough money to pay rent and he's over here living life fancy!
"Yeah I guess. Which building?" he asks. She looks up realizing she has made it back home.
"Um it's building B. Thanks for taking me home ..uh Harry." she spoke quietly. She didn't want to mess up his name. Something about him is making her act different .... she's acting nice and polite not her normal attitude.
"Ok well here's your building.... do you mind if I walk you up?" He questions.
"Uh yeah, a little ...look I know your trying to be nice but I just met you you don't need to walk me up." she says looking him in the eyes.
"I have no other intent then to walk you up and make sure your good to go. I am being a gentlemen." He says Parkin the car and getting out.
"Oh ok fine." she shakes her head. What is up with him! When they reach her door she digs in her bag for her keys. when she finds them she looks up expecting Harry to be gone but he's not he's standing against the wall just looking at her. "you can go now" she says impolitely. He continues looking at her. "what?" she asks. Then all in one swift motion Harry lifts her chin and crashes his lips onto hers. His lips are soft and moist. He places his hands on the small of her back and she gently places her hands on his chest. To show him she doesn't want to be doing this but then again she doesn't push him away from her. Maybe she was caught up in the moment or maybe just maybe she's enjoying the kiss. Riley is the one that breaks the kiss leaning back with a surprised expression on her face. "What the hell!"
"What?" he asks smirking
"Don't do that you know what! You can't just go around kissing girls you just met!" she yells
"Well I guess I just broke that rule." He says still with a smirk.
"Yeah I guess so! Can you leave now! You have not other intent pshhh right" she says sarcastically throwing her hands in the air.
"Im sorry love" he says
"Can you stop with the love thing!" She yells as He begins to speak "I know I know it's a [force of habit]" they say at the same time. " Now can you please leave!" she demands.
"As you wish." and just like he was gone. Riley fumbles with her keys trying to get into her apartment. Once inside she hangs her bag up and sets her keys on the table. Then her doorbell rings. She walks over to the door and says "I thought I told you to leave har-" but as she opens the door Harry wasn't there. Instead a crisp white piece of paper sat on the door Matt. She picked it up and read it in her head
