Infatuation (h.s)

Sixteen

~Stella's pov~
It was finally Saturday, the week felt like it dragged on forever. I feel like someone was punishing me between the awkward car ride to and from school with Peyton and Elsie, and the stacks of homework I had been doing all week for my classes.
The only days I had actually done something were when I went to Harry's and when I hung out with Niall which seemed to piss Elsie off. There was a party on yesterday but I had no interest in going because Peyton and Elsie clearly weren't willing to forgive me. The thing was Elsie's little grudge on me had nothing to do with Peyton so I didn't understand why she was barely speaking to me.
Currently I was laying on the couch watching tv, nobody was home but me. I was beginning to get extremely bored because there was nothing on, I decided on texting Niall and Liam to see if they wanted to do something.

I turned the tv off and got off the couch. I stretched because I laid in the same position on the couch for like 5 hours, that's what it's like having no nothing to do also known as having no life.
I needed to change before Harry got here because like I was still in my pajamas. I was unsure of where we we're going as well but I figured it was nowhere special so I dressed casual. I looked out the window to see it was decently dark outside due to the fact it was 7pm. I had no idea how cold it was though but it didn't look too chilly. I quickly slipped on my white converse, and grabbed my purse.
I decided on waiting outside the apartment building for Harry because I didn't want to make him waste his time walking all the way up there. As I stood outside I realized it was pretty cold, I really hoped we weren't going outside or I'd freeze my ass off.
As Harry's range rover pulled in I quickly hopped in.
"Please crank the heat" I begged shivering, he chuckled and did as I said.
"Colder then you thought?" He asked as we left the apartment complex parking lot.
"I guess you could say that, I hope we aren't going outside I won't be able to stand it"
"Oh then you're in for a treat"
"Were going outside?" I questioned groaning, he nodded a smirk appearing on his face. He reached into the back and handed me a plain grey hoodie. I slipped it on and it immediately engulfed my body it was huge on me, the bottom of it hit mid-thigh.
"So tell me something I don't know about you?" Harry asked and I shrugged.
"Come on there's got to be something you like?" He questioned.
"I like photography I guess, I've just never had the camera to do it"
"How come?"
"Cameras are expensive and we defiantly didn't have spare money when I lived with my dad"
"It probably wasn't that bad on money" he reasoned and I shrugged.
"He made enough to barely feed us and pay the bills that's it, there was no spare money to go anywhere or buy anything. That's why I always dress awful I barely have any clothes, I need a job badly" I explained.
"Sorry to hear but I don't think you dress awful, you always look nice to me."
"Thanks Harry but I'm sure most girls would disagree"
"You know what I don't think clothes should matter, clothes don't make you beautiful" he told me and I was shocked by his answer. I would expect Harry to find beauty if materialistic things on a girl, but then again I'm learning not to expect things from him.
"I guess that's true" I agreed.
"What about your family, did they have money?" I questioned but then rethought knowing he probably wouldn't want to answer.
"We were alright on money that's for sure, but let's forget about my family. So you're going to try and get a job?"
"Attempt yes"
"Where?"
"I'm not exactly sure yet"
"I have some places I could probably help you get into" He offered.
"If you want to but maybe I should just do this on my own"
"You really like doing stuff on your own don't you?"
"Sometimes when you achieve things on your own it makes you feel more accomplished" I explained.
"Fair enough"
"Everything is handed to you isn't it?" I asked him.
"Um I guess" He replied awkwardly scratching his neck.
"So where are we going?" I asked changing the subject.
"I thought maybe a nice dinner upstate London?"
"Really?" I asked confused, did he think I wanted to go somewhere fancy?
"Relax I know you aren't the fancy type, I was thinking maybe we could just explore downtown London. Is that ok?"
"Yeah it's defiantly ok" I agreed quickly.
"Good because if you said no then I'd take you home and never speak to you again"
"Really?"
"No, I'd take you wherever you want to go. If you asked me to go to Spain I would be making arrangements for a flight right now." He told me. I smiled at him and he gave me his famous smirk knowing he was charming me.
"Don't worry I don't want to go to Spain, yet" I joked.
"Good because I think Louis and Luke would miss me"
"Would they?" I asked sarcastically.
"Actually probably not but maybe secretly I'd miss them"
"Harry you're such a softy"
"Don't ever say that again" He told me jokingly taking his eyes off the road.
"Eyes on the road Styles" I said pushing his back to where it was looking where we were going.
"You distracted me by questioning my manliness"
"What manliness?"
"I'm masculine I promise" He joked and I burst out into a fit of laughter.
"You know you don't laugh you just giggle" He commented and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Is that good of bad?"
"Oh that's good Stelly, I think giggles are adorable"
"If there even a difference between laughing and giggling?" I asked.
"Yeah I think there is. Laughing can be in many different ways where as giggling is just a light adorable sound" He explained and I nodded blushing in embarrassment.
"We're here" he announced pulling onto the side of a street to park.
We both got out of the car and I looked around at my surroundings. London looked so different from California especially at night. Sometimes I missed the sounds of the waves crashing and seeing large palm trees but London was also a truly beautiful city.
The buildings were old with lots of windows and all the streets were illuminated with tall lamp posts.
"It's so cute, I love it" I complemented.
"Yeah this part of London is my favourite" he agreed.
Harry began walking down the street I followed unsure of where we were going. I still felt a little chilly but I tried to ignore it because it was worth it to see downtown London.
Eventually we reached a little cafe that Harry had stopped at. The cafe was extremely cute it almost looked so cookie cutter perfect. Cafés like this were what you saw in movies with fairy lights lit up around it and cut little curly shaped chairs on the patio.
Harry held the door open and I walked in. As soon as I entered the aroma of cookies and coffee immediately hit me.
"I was thinking right now we could get some hot chocolate and later we'll get something to eat at a pizza place?" Harry offered, and I nodded agreeing.
Harry and I waited in line behind the cutest old couple, I loved old People. I smiled up at Harry pointing to them and he nodded back at me silently agreeing he thought they were cute too. Eventually a middle aged rosy cheeked, ginger women took our orders Harry just said two hot chocolates for the both of us. The lady gave us our drinks, and Harry generously payed for them despite me arguing about it.
"You guys are a cute couple" the lady commented.
"Oh we're not a couple" I assured her.
"Not a couple my ass" She said and I opened my eyes in shock before Harry and I burst into a fit of laughter.
"Were really not" Harry told her.
"Oh but you will be, trust me" She assured and we both just nodded not really caring what the women said. I don't think Harry and I were really looking for more then a friendship.
Harry and I left the cafe, we began walking around the streets aimlessly looking around.
Eventually we reached the London eye, I eyed Harry almost asking if he wanted to go on but he quickly shook his head.
"Why?" I asked.
"I'm scared of heights" he admitted.
"Why are you scared?"
"I don't know because I don't want to die"
"You won't die and the only way to get over a fear is to face it head on so let's go Styles" I persuaded.
"If I don't go you're going to drag me on anyways aren't you?" He questioned.
"You know me too well"
"Apparently"
I grabbed his arm pulling him towards it he was a bit hesitant at first but gave in and let we drag him over.
"Just two?" The man working the London eye asked and I nodded. He gestured to the small white box, I stepped on and pulled Harry on. We both sat on the benches opposite from each other.
Harry's face was pale as we kept going up and it wasn't enjoyable without him enjoying it too.
"Your fine" I assured him and he looked at me worriedly before nodding.
"Do you want to come sit on my lap?" I jokingly asked like I was his mum. Harry shook his head before grabbing my hands and pulling me to sit on his. It was kind of awkward sitting on his lap at first put I got use to it. I faced towards him so I could see through the glass window behind his head.
"I know you're scared but it truly is beautiful." I told him. He hesitantly turned and looked out the window before relaxing a bit.
"Wow it is" he agreed.
"You live here how come you've never been on the London eye?"
"Like I told you I'm afraid of heights I've never wanted to"
"How do you feel about heights now?" I asked.
"It's not so bad with you"
When we got to the top I stood up to get a better look, I pulled out my cell phone trying to get a pretty picture of it.
"Sit down I don't want you to die" Harry said pulling me down next to him.
"I want to take a selfie of us up here" I told him and he nodded. We pulled a few silly faces into the camera, I looked through the pictures after smiling at how weird we looked.
Eventually we got back to the ground and got off, Harry almost kissed the ground he was so relieved.
"Where we doing now?" I asked.
"Wherever we end up" He answered, most times I'd question what he meant but at the particular moment I didn't care, as long as it was with him.

A/N
Finally Harry and Stella are becoming close. I hope you liked this chapter I wasn't exactly sure what to write so it's a filler to get into more stuff. Also it's extremely short I promise to make longer chapters.
By the way thanks for hitting 2K reads last weeks!!
