Letters To Harry

10 - Be Mine?

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen!"

I was in shock.

"Harry?"

I couldn't believe it.

"Should I call someone?"

I was standing in front of the girl of my dreams.

"Okay, I'm going to call -"

"NO!"

Alanna jumped.

"Okay then..."

"Sorry I startled you." I took a step closer to her.

She smiled at me. It was a smile more beautiful than any I had ever seen before. Her eyes sparkled and her cheeks flushed the tiniest bit as the corners of her lips curled up.

"That's fine." And her voice...it sounded like she was singing the words to me.

"Um,,," I realized I had been staring at her. I couldn't help it, she was stunning! Her heart-shaped face was surrounded by dark blond hair that fell in soft waves just past her shoulders. She had on only the tiniest bit of makeup, and it was perfect. Her eyes were big and blue, framed by long eyelashes. She was shorter than me, probably around 5"7.

You never told me how beautiful you are..." The words fell out of my mouth before I could stop them.

She blushed and dropped her gaze to the ground.

"Well, I didn't want to lie to you."

I think I actually gasped.

"Lie?! How can you possibly think even for a second that you're anything less than gorgeous?"

Alanna's eyes got even wider in shock.

"Thank you..." Tears were welling in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"I just can't believe I'm meeting you! Let alone standing outside of a coffee shop being complimented by you..."

I was about to answer when my phone started going off. It was Liam.

"I'm really sorry, but I have to get this. Can you hang on for a second?"

Alanna nodded and I walked into a little alley to answer.

"Harry?"

"Liam, what is it?" I was in a hurry to get back.

"Just...I need to talk to you. Louis' busy with Eleanor and Zayn and Niall went out with Perrie and Emeline."

I glanced back at the girl waiting for me on the sidewalk.

"Liam. I'm with Alanna."

There was a surprised silence on the other end of the line.

"Are you serious Styles?" He finally asked.

"Yes." I still couldn't believe it though.

Liam hesitated before continuing.

"Would I be able to meet up with the two of you then?"

One the one hand, Liam was one of my best friends. On the other, this was the first time I'd ever been with the girl who I'm now even more in love with. Best friend of 3 years won over. Alanna could come with us.

"Okay. We're at the Starbucks on Queen Street. Meet us here as soon as you can."

Liam thanked me and hung up so I could get back to Alanna.
