Once Upon A Coffee Shop

Chapter 5

Harry's Point of View:

I am at the park and have been waiting here for at least 20 minutes now. I sit and wait as my mind wanders. I decide to think about what groceries I need. Eggs, bread, spinach, carrots....

I wonder if Emily likes carrots! Damn it Harry stop thinking about Emily!

I snap out of my thoughts when I hear a beautiful voice calling out my name. Not just any voice, her voice.

Emily's Point of View:

"Harry!", I call.

I see Harry sitting on a bench underneath a beautiful willow tree, and honestly the tree is not the only thing that's beautiful.

I approach Harry and he gives me an unexpected hug. My body stiffens but I quickly relax and hug him back. At this moment I am so tempted to ask him what cologne he uses because whatever it is, it smells good!

As we pull away I ask, "Why do you need to talk to me so bad?".

He hesitates and replys, "I don't know, I just wanted to ask about that date."

"Actually I arranged a double date tomorrow with my friend Abby." I say happily.

"A double date?", he asks, "I was hoping our first date would involve only us."

He had grabbed my hand mid sentence and I blush. I look at him and say,"You want to go on more than one date with me?".

He chuckles. "Yes", he says, "I do.".

"Easy there tiger we're not revealing our vows yet!" I joke. We both laugh.

"You said yet, so you don't only want a date huh?", he chuckles.

"Harry it's a matter of speech.", I giggle.

He chuckles the most beautiful chuckle I've ever heard.

"Well you still said yet soooo...", Harry jokes.

I playfully hit his shoulder.

"So If we're going out tomorrow," he starts, "and our first date has to be only us, enjoying eachothers company, then that means I'm taking you out tonight."

I shrug my shoulders and reply with a sure.

Harry says, "Ok! C'mon let's go then!".

He pulls me up off the bench and we begin to walk through the park. Other than a little bit of trash on the ground, everything is beautiful! Nature is everywhere! Flowers of every colour bloom everywhere you see and tall trees fill the park. From trees like the willow tree Harry and I were sitting under not even ten minutes ago, to pretty cherry blossom trees. Everything was so beautiful. Especially the fact that Harry and I are having our first date.

"So," I begin, "tell me more about yourself Harry!".

Harry sighs as if he doesn't want to talk about this topic but he speaks anyway.

"My name is Harry Edward Styles. I'm from Holmes Chapel in Cheshire, my favorite colour is orange and I'm on a date with the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on."

I blush and giggle. "Harry tell me more, you're so interesting!".

"Well, there's not really much. I have an older sister named Gemma who I've always gotten along with and yeah."

Harry responds.

"What about your parents?", I ask, "How are they?".

Harry's hand tightens his grip on mine and I stop. He clearly doesn't want to talk about it so I should just shut up.

"Why have we stopped?", he asks. "Emily are you okay?".

"Yeah I'm fine," I respond, "I'm just sorry for pushing you to talk about something you clearly don't wanna talk about.".

"What makes you think I don't wanna talk about it?", he asks.

His face is only inches from mine now and I can feel his hot minty breath melting my skin. The touch of his finger underneath my chin holds my head up so I can look into his beautiful green orbs that I'm already lost in. The butterflies in my stomach flap around as fast and as hard as they can.

"I don't know.", I reply, "You tightened your grip and you sighed as if you hated the topic of your life.".

He stared into my eyes burning holes in my soul and replied, "I've had a tough life, and I dont think I should be dragging you into it. You're so perfect and angelic, and I don't want to be the one to break you. We're two totally different people. Youre happy, I'm sad. You're light, I'm dark. Your life, I'm death. I want to forget about my past Emily, but it's hard. I don't want you to be involved with me but I can't keep myself away from you.".

"Harry?"

"Yes Emily."

"I've learned that everything is inevitable, the future is unknown, and what happens next will never be certain!".

Hey guys! The quote at the end of this chapter belongs to lolteenager, the author of camouflage. I just felt it would fit nicely so all credit goes to lolteenager and if you haven't read their story camouflage yet I totally recommend it (it's a Harry Styles fanfic). Any ways if anyone is even reading this message and every other message at the end of each chapter then thankyou and I just wanted to let you know I will probably be doing these a lot. Thanks again guys! Love you!♡♥
