As the sun peaks through the curtains of my windows I sit up and rub my eyes sleepily. Today should be alright I guess. I hear my phone beep and lean over to my right and quickly pick up my phone. The phone screen flashes with one new message from "Lou". Who's Lo- Oh wait. It was that adorable boy I ran into at the park. He said he only wanted to be friends so I agreed to hangout. It should be fun, right?

After a few minutes of thinking I pull myself out of bed and stretch while walking over to my closet. Hm what to wear for today? After grabbing some clothes out I quickly change. I was wearing a black dress, black tights, and black flats. Quickly applying some cute makeup, I walked over to the mirror and looked at my outfit. I felt confident in my outfit and smiled, while walking outside of the room with my clutch in hand.

The weather was absolutely lovely today, pulling myself out of my thoughts I walked over to an ice cream cart and ordered a small cup of mint chocolate chip. I quickly handed the man the money and felt someone tap me on the shoulder. Grabbing the cold plastic cup, I turn around and meet the blue eyes I remember from yesterday afternoon.

"Hey Babe, ready for a day full of fun tourist attractions?" he said and I smiled nodding eagerly.

Downing my ice cream quickly, Louis and I spent a whole day of fun attractions including the zoo and walks around central park while also walking down the famous times square. It was finally around nine pm when Louis and I stumbled into his apartment. As we walked in I looked up and met the beautiful green eyes that cursed me yesterday.. No this can't be.. they cannot be friends.

"Poppy?" his lips were parted slightly in disbelief and I stood there frozen.

"Haz you know Poppy? Her and I have been hanging out all day! She was the uh girl I was telling you about last night," Louis' lips turned into a smirk and Harry's hands soon balled into fists.

"I um should get going," I grabbed the door handle quickly and attempted to pull it open but looked up and saw a large hand pressing on the door to keep it closed. Green eyes met mine and I sighed knowing this was definitely going to be a drama filled night.

"Please don't leave.. Maybe we could all just sit down and hangout yeah?" he said with a slight pleading tone and I knew if I looked into his gorgeous green eyes longer that I would melt like butter on a stack of hot pancakes.

Pulling myself away from my anxious thoughts I nodded and made my way over to the couch located center in the sweet tiny apartment.

While the two boys quietly argued with one another I soon became quite fascinated with my hands in a way saying I was extremely uncomfortable with the situation. While thinking I felt the seat next to me sink down and I knew by my peripheral vision that I had spotted a mop of chocolate curls. What was it with this curly headed kid? I knew I was much older than him but Louis was closer to my age.

"Uh, where's the bathroom?" I muttered and pushed myself off the leather couch.

"I'll show you," both of the boys responded at the same time but the curly haired boy had his arm linked through mine in a matter of seconds. I shook my head and followed along with him in annoyance. After tonight I'll just stay away from these two boys then they will just forget me and all will be well, right?

"It's right here babe," he chuckled nervously and I unlinked my arm through his and grabbed the door knob. Before I could twist it I felt him grab my waist and turn me around. In a matter of seconds I could feel his hot breath fan my face and I knew once again I was in his trap. He was flirty, and for god's sakes that was one thing I couldn't stand.

He leaned forward but I placed my hands gently onto his chest in an attempt to push him off of me.

"Maybe have some manners before you go lipsmacking other people," I muttered and turned around walking into the bathroom while slamming the door behind me in frustration.

Now if there was only a way where I could get out of here. A ring shot through the bathroom and I scurried to pick up my phone. It was Karlie, good.

"Hey Karles can you possibly call me in five minutes to get me out of this date hangout thing?"

"Yeah sure, stuck with another guy again? Don't worry this time I'll make sure the emergency is juicy," I knew by the tone of her voice she had the biggest smirk on her face and I couldn't fight the giggle escaping my lips.

"Thank you soooo muuuuch love youu," she replied with a love you back and I walked out of the bathroom and back into the living room.

Both of them sat there on the couch with big smiles on their face and to be honest it was quite creepy. As I made my way over to the leather black couch I sat on the end seat and picked at my nails nervously.

Louis opened his mouth to speak but my phone started ringing loudly. Trying to fight the wide grin on my face I quickly answered the phone and faked shock that my cat was missing. A dramatic gasp left my lips and I hung up quickly gathering my things.

"I'm so sorry I have to go my cat is missing and she means absolutely everything to me, maybe we can hangout some other time! Bye!" I made my way to the door and opened it just as they started walking over.

Both of them muttered goodbye and I speed walked down the hallway in success. Finally, that drama is over. As I walked outside of the building and shivered from the cold winter air I felt a black jacket being place over my shoulders.

"Thought you might need this, I just wanted to apologize for earlier and don't go saying you have to go find your cat, I know that trick. By the way I think it's time I properly introduce myself, I'm Harry, Harry Styles," A smile made its way onto my lips as I gazed at the interesting boy who somehow still came rushing after me even though I had treated him horribly.

"I'm sorry about earlier too, I just get scared about things that happen in the past. I'm uh Poppy, Poppy Summers, nice to meet you Harry," I shook his hand carefully and looked down the road at the times square bright lights.

"You wouldn't mind if I took you around to some places at night would you? Trust me, I know all the fun places. Karaoke bars, little shops, and even for a girl like you, some pretty neat cafe's," I nodded and grabbed his hand gently.
