Wrecking Ball
Chapter 10
I had set my alarm for 10 as Harry had texted me last night saying he would pick me up about 11:30. I climbed out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I switched the shower on and turned the heat up. I quickly washed my hair and body and stood in the shower for a few extra minutes.
I had butterflies in my tummy. I was so excited about mine and Harry’s date, excited that we were doing something normal that didn’t involve him rubbing up against me in an alleyway or him destroying my knickers. I was also nervous though, nervous that I was going to fall for him and him break my heart like Tom did.
I got ready and at that moment my phone beeped. Harry was outside; I walked into the living room to tell Grace I was heading out. Grace and Niall were cuddling on the sofa. I really hope this Louis thing was dead and gone because Grace had something good with Niall now.
Harry was standing by his range rover across the road and was talking on his phone. He looked angry and hung up rubbing his forehead. Harry looked up and saw me, his anger automatically dissolving and smiling at me. I smiled back, my eyes fixed to his, not paying any attention to the car speeding up the road.
‘SAMII STOP’ I heard Harry shouting and a car horn.
I was on the ground in Harrys arms next to his range rover, it had happened so quickly. I hadn’t looked when I walked out in front of the car and Harry had grabbed me before it had hit me.
‘Baby, don’t do that to me please’ Harry said rocking me and stroking my hair.
‘Harry I’m fine, I’m sorry’ holding his face forcing him to look into my eyes.
He stood me up and checked me all over for any signs of injury.
‘So where are we going today then?’ I said trying to take his mind off of what just happened.
‘I need to go to the gym first and pick up my money for winning last night and then we can do whatever you like’ Harry said with a smile.
‘Sounds like a plan’ I said moving round to the passenger door Harry already had opened for me.
Harry pulled up outside the gym and took his keys out of the ignition.
‘You coming or waiting here?’
‘I’ll come in with you’ I smiled at Harry who returned the smile with a wink.
As usual the gym was packed with guys training including Louis who was in one of the few rings they had sparring with another guy.
I stood next to the ring watching Louis as Harry went to get his money. His face was filled with anger as his coach was egging him on to hit harder and faster, telling him to think of someone that angers him.
‘Nice to see you again darling’ I shuddered, I knew who that voice belonged to.
‘What are you doing here Tom?’ I asked turning around.
‘Just training for my next fight’ He said stepping closer to me.
‘Since when did you box?’ I said stepping back.
‘I’ve missed you’ Tom whispered in my ear ignoring my question.
I rolled my eyes and turned around to watch Louis again. Tom wrapped his arms around me and started kissing my neck. Before I realised what had happened I had spun around elbowing Tom in the stomach. He was bent over on the floor coughing and spluttering.
‘Touch me again and I swear to god it will be your last’ I was bent down low in his face.
A few people started to applaud me, including Harry who had returned to the room.
‘Well, remind me never to upset you’ he said placing his hands on my waist.
‘Who is he?’
‘I’ll explain later, let’s get out of here’ I said grabbing Harry by the hand and leading him out.
Me and Harry were sat in a little café where we could talk without anyone hearing us. I had explained the story with Tom, Harry listening to my every word.
‘I can promise you Miss Wood, I have never broken a girls heart and I don’t plan to’ Harry said rubbing his fingers over my knuckles.
‘Well that’s good to know Mr Styles’ I said sipping my tea.
‘Are you a virgin?’ I almost choked on my tea. How could he be so forward?
‘You don’t beat around the bush do you?’ I laughed. ‘No I’m not. You?’
I already knew the answer of course.
‘No, the ladies can’t resist me.’ He said with a wink.
‘Watch out your head might get even bigger then it already is. Also I’m finding it quite easy to resist you actually’ I bit back with some humour in my voice.
‘I give it a few days my love’ he kissed my hand.
Harry pulled up outside my flat and walked me up to my door.
‘I had loads of fun with you today Harry, we should do it again’ I twirled my thumbs not wanting to look at him.
Harry lifted my chin up and our lips connected lightly. I didn’t want him to leave, I wanted him to stay. Not for sex but just so he’s here. It was like Harry could read my mind. He opened the door and we walked in with his arm around my waist.
‘Do you want a beer?’
‘Sure’
I walked into the kitchen as Harry walked into the living room.
‘What the hell is going on?!’ Harry shouted.
I quickly ran to him and gasped at what he was shouting about.
Louis and Grace were half naked on the sofa together, fumbling for their clothes surrounded by beer bottles.
‘Jesus Christ Grace’ I sighed, rubbing my head.
