Summer Break
Morning run.
I peeked up from under my duvet to see the sun shining in my eyes. I moaned a little then looked at the clock on the other side of my bed. 6:20. ‘I don’t need to run, I’m on vacation.’ I tried to convince myself, but I knew better. As much as I hated getting a little over 5 hours of sleep and getting up to run, I knew I had to; even if for only 30 minutes.
I jumped out of bed and quickly slid on a sports bra, tank top, shorts, and my running shoes. Then I grabbed my armband for my itouch, then my headphones. Before I left the room, I slid some money and my key inside the armband, and drank a glass of water.
As I walked outside the room, I went the direction Harry and I had walked last night. Luckily there was a sidewalk along the beach to run on… Harry, I had almost forgotten last night really happened, but I definitely didn’t forget about him seeing my One Direction bracelet, or his hug goodnight. I smiled at my thoughts, then looked around me to see if anyone was staring. If people saw me smiling for no reason, they would probably think that I was crazy!
I was almost finished with my run, I just needed to make it to the hotel, then I was going to walk back down the beach a little ways because I saw this really nice looking place to get food. I ran completely sprinting my last quarter mile, not paying attention to anyone around me. I was completely lost in my thoughts, then I hit someone shoulder when I got up to the hotel.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” I looked up at a shirtless Harry. He was sweating, and had his hair pulled back. How did he look so good?
“Annabelle,” he smiled taking his headphones out. “ Good morning.”
OH MY GOD HIS ACCENT. “Good morning!” I sang.
“What are you up too.” he shook his head. “obviously you’re running! Ignore that question.” he laughed and looked at the ground.
“No, it’s alright. I actually saw this yogurt bar down the beach and wanted to go eat there. Would you like to come with me… if you’re done.” What did I just do? I just asked him to eat breakfast with me. What?!
“Actually yea, that sounds alright.” he smiled at me then walked next to me, turning to walk down the beach again.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and I both got medium size yogurts, he put bananas, kiwi and strawberries on his. Then on mine I had that, with mango, peaches, pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, then I decided that was enough.
“Here you go sir,” Harry said handing him money for the both of us. “keep the rest.”
We walked back towards the hotel and I licked some yogurt off my spoon. “Thank you, for buying my yogurt.”
“My pleasure.”
We walked in silence for a couple minutes, not awkward silence, it was comfortable.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Course.”
I didn’t really know how to ask this. “Why are you so nice to me?” It might’ve came out wrong, but there was no making the question sound better.
“What?” he looked at me curiously and I took some more of my yogurt.
“Last night we talked until one in the morning and you bought me fries!” we laughed. “then you just walk with me, and we don’t even talk about anything and you pay for my breakfast. I guess I just don’t understand.” I shrugged
“Well, first off. If you eat with a lady, you obviously have to pay. And second, it’s just really easy to talk to you, or to not talk to you? You’re also not fake around me, and I like that. I mean I see you blush every now and then when I talk to you, but I can’t help looking the sexy all the time.”
I looked up at him with a huge smile on my face and laughed. “Oh my god. Don’t flatter you self.” I pushed his arm and rolled my eyes.
“I know, I know.” he put his hands up. “I’m only joking. But seriously, haven’t guys done that for you?”
“Honest? No, actually.”
“No? Why not?“ His curious eyes looking in my slightly worried ones, his brows furrowed.
I looked down embarrassed, should I tell him? I’ve only just met him. I shook my head and looked at the ocean. “It’s a long story.” Was it really? No. But the long story thing usually works.
“Hey,” he said lifting my chin with his finger. “I have time.” he smiled at me, his eyes warm.
“Okay,” I breathed. I didn’t know where this conversation was going to go, and I didn’t know why I even brought it up.
