HALF A HEART
Chapter 8
Harry's POV
My father looked at me as we pulled out of Annie's driveway.
"I can tell you really like her Harry. But be careful. She just moved here." He warned.
"I know." I said and left it at that. Several seconds later we were in my driveway and I was stepping out of the car and walking inside.
"How was the dinner?" My sister Gemma asked.
"It was fine." I said not looking at her.
"Uh huh."
I walked up to my room, laid on my bed, and stared at the ceiling. Annie, was the only word...the only image...and the only emotion that was coursing through my body. I rolled over onto my side and put my hand under my head
"Ugh, why am I feeling like thisssss?" I whispered to myself. I don't even know her but it FELT like i'd known her my entire life.
I grabbed my phone and texted Lou.
To Louis: Hey man.
From Louis: Hey Haz. What's up.
To Louis: I gotta ask you about something.
From Louis: What's the subject?
To Louis: uhmmmm.........girls.....
From Louis: oh c'mon Harry.
To Louis: Lou i actually really need your advice right now.
From Louis: alright alright. What's going on.
To Louis: I dont know what to do about Annie....i couldnt stop thinking about her before and well...we kind of just made out twice and now my mind is exploding.
From Louis: Dude just get to know her more. What else can you do?
To Louis: ugh yeah idk....i invited her to the party tomorrow. I hope thats okay...
From Louis: yeah of course! Thats a good start. I'll tell El to make popcorn for an extra person.
To Louis: alright thanks man. Good night.
From Louis: Night.
(Sidenote: I was listening to "Why Dont We Go There" while I wrote this so the beat to that song kind of represents how fast he was moving around and the lyrics kind of represent how he's feeling about Annie... KIND OF)
I woke up the next morning and pretty much flipped out of bed. I threw on a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt and a gray blazer trimmed in white. Yes I care about my wardrobe. I may only have like two pairs of jeans but i can rock my torso... Yeah....
I ran into the bathroom and stuck my toothbrush with crest toothpaste into my mouth and brushed vigorously as I put my deodorant on. I spit in the sink and wiped my mouth. And now for my hair...
I placed my fingers at the back of my head, brushed to my forehead with 3 jerks, then i took the hair i had just brushed through with my right hand and pushed it up. (Sidenote: just imagine whenever Harry fixes his hair <3 )
I grabbed my book bag and started running out of my door and then almost tripped running back into my room. Idiot! I can't believe I almost forgot this!! I ran up to my bed, lifted the comforter and pulled my song book from between the mattresses and stuffed it into my bag.
I ran down the stairs and skipped the last three steps. I slipped into the kitchen, grabbed a banana from the fruit dish on the island and started running toward the door ignoring my sister eating oatmeal beside me.
"Idiot." Gemma whispered.
"Leave me alone." I snapped peeling my banana.
"Harry!" I heard my mom call from the kitchen and I skidded to halt and ran back into the kitchen.
"What? What?" I asked not interested in what she had to say.
She held up my lunch in a brown paper bag and raised an eyebrow at me.
"Oh. Hah whoops." I said taking it from her. "Thanks Mum!" I called turning back around.
"Harry!" She called but I kept running. I just needed to see Annie it was killing me.
Before I shut the door I heard my mom say, "What the heck has gotten into that boy?"
"Is it not obvious? He met a girl." Gemma laughed.
"Shut up!" I called and shut the door behind me.
Annie's POV
My alarm went off and i threw my covers off. Ugh. I did NOT want to go to school. I just wanted to skip to the party Harry and his friends were having tonight.
I got up and put on my gray skinny jeggings. I put on a sky blue knit sweater that draped around my butt but was shorter in the front. I put a peach colored necklace around my neck that hung just under my breast line. I got my bottle of perfume and sprayed my chest, an aroma of roses and oranges wafted into my nose. I slipped on my black Keds and went into the bathroom to fix my hair.
I turned on my flat iron and straightened my curls then put on powder, silver eyeliner and mascara. Satisfied with my appearance, i walked downstairs and made some toast. As i was spreading butter on the bread I heard a knock on the door. Strange...who the hell makes a surprise visit at 7:00 in the morning...
I stumbled over to the door and opened it. "Harry?" I asked a little surprised he was there but happy all the same. Okay...REALLY happy...
"Hey!" He said enthusiastically and embraced me in a hug. "How are you?" He asked releasing me and searched my face with his emerald eyes.
I laughed, "I'm fine."
"Annie? Who's at the door?" My mom said walking up behind me. "Oh Harry! Nice to see you again. I think Annie was just making breakfast. Would you like to come in?"
"Hi Mrs. Richards. And yes i'd love to." He answered smiling at me.
I gestured to have him walk in and he walked past me and headed for the kitchen. My mom looked at me and smiled.
"Yeah thanks mom." I laughed. And i actually meant that.
I walked back into the kitchen and Harry was sitting at one of the island stools eating the toast i had just made.
"Wow jerk." I laughed, "Steeling my breakfast huh?"
"Yup" he said popping the "p" and smiled at me.
"Yeah yeah okay." I said and went and grabbed two more pieces of bread out of the bag and placed them in the toaster.
"You excited for tonight?" He asked, "It's just movies and snacks i promise. My friends and I don't really host parties like the one Celine took you to."
"Yeah I am excited actually." I answered turning back towards him. "It'll be nice to know more than a few people. I hope they like me though."
"Im sure they will. No worries." He smiled at me again.
I turned back to the toaster when i heard it popped and started spreading butter on the bread again.
All of a sudden I felt a hand wrap around my waist and another hand move hair away from my neck. I felt lips begin to delicately and slowly kiss my neck. He breathed in and started kissing me again. My heart caught and I gasped a little. I felt Harry smile against his neck.
"You're so innocent. I love it." He said into my neck.
Oh no...was he starting to guess that I had no experience with guys? God i would look so stupid to him if he found out.
I turned around and he wrapped his other hand around my waist and pushed me against the kitchen counter. He leaned in to kiss me...
"Harry." I pleaded. "We have to get to school."
"Okay love. Let's go. Don't forget your toast."
"I can eat something else." I laughed and moved his hands off of my waist and went to grab an apple out of the fruit bowl. I crunched into it, "C'mon. Let's go." I said around the apple.
"You're such a dork." He laughed and slung his backpack over his shoulders.
I did the same and we started to walk outside.
"Bye Mom!" I called but I didn't wait for an answer.
We walked outside and Harry grabbed my hand as we walked.
Harry's POV
Her sweater flattered her curves so wondrously. Her hair looked so elegant but I missed her wild curls all the same. I put down my toast and got up from the island stool. I tiptoed behind her, trying to be quiet enough so she wouldn't hear me. I snaked my right hand around her waist and i felt her flinch slightly. I chuckled and moved her hair to reveal her tender neck. I leaned in and began to kiss her neck lightly. The smell of her perfume engulfed my nose. Roses and oranges. Oh she smelled so good. I took in a deep breath and continued kissing her. She gasped a little and i smiled against her neck.
"You're so innocent. I love it." I said.
She turned around and i wrapped my other hand around her waist and pushed her into the kitchen counter. I leaned in to kiss her tender lips...
"Harry." She said. I loved the way she said my name. Her accent was the most adorable sound I'd ever heard in my life. "We have to get to school." She said.
"Okay love. Let's go. Don't forget your toast."
"I can eat something else." She laughed as she pushed my hands away from her. I watched her walk over to the bowl of fruit and grab an apple. She bit into it and said, "C'mon let's go." She insisted around the apple.
"You're such a dork." I laughed.
I grabbed my backpack and slung it over my shoulders. She grabbed hers and did the same.
"Bye Mom!" Annie called.
She didn't wait for an answer and we stepped outside. I grabbed her hand as we began to walk to school.
We walked for a couple minutes and she looked at me all of a sudden.
"Harry, i really like you but please...please can we move slower." She begged. I took a deep breath and let go of her hand.
"Of course Annie. I know you keep telling me that and i'm just not listening to you. It's really hard not to just hold you all the time though." I laughed.
Annie's POV
"... It's really hard not to just hold you all the time though." He laughed. Ugh just rip my heart out. Why is this guy so fucking amazing. He caught me staring at him and i smiled at him.
"Thanks Harry."
We walked into the school and he walked me to my first class. He didn't move to hug me or anything when he bid me farewell. With how he'd been talking...that was probably really hard for him to do. I really respect him for respecting me.
"Sit by me at lunch today at least. Okay?" He asked before he left.
I smiled at him, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
I saw his cheeks turn pink and he smiled. Then he turned around and disappeared down the next hallway. I walked into my own class and I knew I was blushing so hardcore. Ugh...Harry....Harry......Harry. Thats all I could think about..
Harry....
Harry........
