Song for the chapter: Cary Brothers - Ride

„I am sorry for that“, Harry said after the song was over and he turned the volume back down again.

I smiled. “Never mind. Do you like Stevie Wonder?”, I asked him.

“I really do, that is one of my favourite songs from him”, he answered.

I liked the way he talked about it. He got really passionate and you could feel that it was something he really burned for. I did not wanted him to stop talking. I could feel myself falling for his voice.

“What is your favorite song?”, he asked me politely. I thought about that question.

“I really can not answer that question to you. All I can say is that there is music you listen to and you like it for a while because it just suits the situation and the mood you are in, but after some time you get bored of it. And then there is that kind of music, that you can always play. In every situation, wherever you are and what you just experienced.”

He looked over to me. Staring into my face. I raised my eyebrows.

“Stupid answer?”

He shook his head. “Not at all. I just simply like the way you think about music.”

I blushed a little bit again. “I can not imagine a life without it. My dad used to turn down the volume when I was in his car and he always asked me, if I would never get annoyed by hearing music 24 hours a day.” Harry laughed.

“My mum bought earplugs for the rest of my family to make sure they can sleep at night, while I am still listening to music.”

I had to smile at the thought of him laying on a bed listening to music and humming just like he did before. I wanted to ask him which other musicians he admires, but realized that we were already standing in front of my home.

“Oh, we are already here”, I said surprised. He smiled at me.

“We are. Nice house by the way”, he said with his raspy tone in his voice.

I looked outside the window up to the lightened house. I was thinking that he was right. I liked it really much, even though it was still not feeling like home at all.

“Yeah, I think you are right. Probably I will consider it as home in the near future.”

I got my view back into the dark car. Harry`s face was lightened by the light from the lantern outside on the pavement. He looked really handsome. His eyes were still on my face and I could not look anywhere else than into his eyes.

He seemed to think about something. Suddenly he was leaning over to me. I was shocked and did not know what to do, did he really wanted to do what I thought he wanted to do? Was I ready for this? I am not ready for this!

But some inches in front of my face he stopped. “I am pretty sure, if anyone is possible to make something his or hers home, it is you”, he said quietly near my ear. I could smell his scent. Still coffee and flour.

I was not expecting him to say that, so I did not answer at all. All I was able to do was nod.

Harry laid back and opened his door. I came to the knowledge that I should get out of the car as well. I started to shiver when the cold air hit me. Harry already was on my side.

“Thank you for taking me home”, I said unsure where to put my hands. I just embraced my empty mug really hard.

“Ouw, do not thank me for something like that. It was my pleasure.” I was sure that I blushed again.

“So drive safe”, I said. He gave me a small smile and nodded.

“I will.”

Before I took the chance to hug him awkwardly I turned around and walked up to the front door. When I was turning back one more time Harry was already in his car driving away.

I opened the door and waited for some seconds just biting my lip and finally sighing deeply. I could not resist to make a little dance of happiness and make some weird funny sounds.

That was the way my sister found me, when she came out of the kitchen.

“You are okay?”, she asked with raised eyebrow. I stopped jumping and tried to calm down again.

“Yeah, sure. I am fine”, I said walking past her to my room. But as soon as I turned my back to her I had to smile like an idiot again.

After I got undressed and got rid of the empty mug, I put some comfy clothes on and checked my mobile phone again.

I got a text from Simon saying that he was alright and home still trying to calm his grandma down. I had to smile since he had put an exclamation mark after each sentence.

I also achieved a voice mail from Taylor. “Hey, Clary. I am sorry, but I had to clear some things between me and... never mind. I just wanted to let you know that I would have come, if it had not been really important. I hope you are not angry with me and I promise I do most of the work for the presentation. Probably we can talk to each other tomorrow? Looking forward to it.”

I already forgave her in that moment. I wanted to talk to someone about the little accident and the car ride home, but did not know who to call.

I message two friends from Germany, but they did not answered me. Taylor had problems to deal with and Simon was taking care of his grandma. I decided to tell Simon about it tomorrow and just go to sleep early.

I checked my facebook paige before I got ready for bed. Harry Styles send me a friend request.

OMG.

I clicked the accept button, just to see that he was not online. I stood up to brush my teeth. When I came back I had a new message.

“One of the all time favourites?” Under it was a link.

The Cary Brothers – Ride

I clicked on the link and listened to the sweet melody of the song. I starred at the white wall. Listening to the song I took a black pencil and wrote in big letters: Home is where the heart is.

After that I lied in my bed looking at the black letters. Probably Harry was right.

I could make this place my home. The last thing I did was answering Harry “Definitely” before falling asleep. I swear I could smell coffee and pastries in my room.
