Chapter 19

Marilynn

The doorbell rings and I immediately jump out of bed to merge towards the door before anyone else. I see Lori heading towards the door; luckily I was able to stop her.

“Do not touch that door knob!” I pointed at her with wide eyes.

“You’re being ridiculous, who are you expecting?” She asked with a hand on her hip.

I ran down the stairs, the least of my worries was actually tripping over. “My friend, go away or else he won’t love me.”

As crazy as it sounds my older sister is ten times prettier and is thin as a pencil so naturally I feel like a marshmallow standing next to her. It makes me want to feed so can get fat. I hate to admit it but I guess I do kind of have a small crush on Harry. How could I not? He’s Harry Styles.

Deloris just laughed it off. “You’re insane as hell but whatever I’m going to see what mom is up to.” Of course she is.

I took a deep breath and finally opened the door.

“Hey.” I smiled.

He’s so hot. The way his hair is pushed back, the way his skinny jeans fit him tight and the way his white thin shirt showed off his tattoos.

“Hey.” He said nonchalantly.

“Are you going to let me in?” He then added.

“Oh right” I chuckled nervously. I moved to the side allowing him enough space to enter. I closed the door after he stepped inside.

“Nice home.” Harry complimented.

“Thanks, uh my room is upstairs-“

Harry raised his eyebrow at me. I bet he thought something stupid or provocative. I really hate myself right now. “I meant like, well you know. Ugh let’s just go upstairs so you can help with my artwork.

He gave me his signature smirk. “I didn’t think anything else. Please lead the way Marilynn.”

We walked upstairs making our way up to my bedroom, leaving my door open. It’s a ridiculous rule but I’m not allowed to have boys in my room unless my door is open, yeah it’s really stupid. I opened the door for him allowing him entrance.

“You’re welcome.” He winked at me. Well shit I didn’t know it was a fucking honor to open the door for his ass. Then again he is Harry Styles. He took a seat on my bed waiting for me to join him I guess. “No resting put on the coat and let’s get started.” I demanded.

He groaned and laid back on the mattress, “Why don’t we do something fun.” He suggested. In my opinion it is fun, I always had a great time painting, sketching or even coloring I don’t care as long as it dealt with creativity.

“Excuse me but this is fun you dork. Besides its due on Monday and Marissa has been on my ass all last week about turning it in.” I said.

“But you promised me beer.” He pouted.

I glared at him for being ridiculous, “I said come and find out besides Shitface drank all my beer and I couldn’t complain cause then I’d get in trouble for having beer.” I explained

“Alright lets get started.” He sighed.

Hours later and we were able to finish. It was actually kind of fun. I don’t know we played music pretty loud, got paint all over each other and we made great conversation. “It looks cool.” Harry stated.

“I think so too, I’m seriously dreading going to school tomorrow.”

“You know being a teacher’s assistant isn’t so great either but it’s an alright pay so I don’t mind.” He added to the conversation.

“Pay? I thought it was an internship for school? Like for credit and stuff.” I eyed him suspiciously.

He got all fidgety and weird like if what I said made him nervous. His body shifted a bit before answering my question. He cleared his throat, “Um yeah but it also pays so it’s more of a job, pretty cool eh?”

“Guess so. Wait so if you get paid then-“ I was interrupted before I could continue.

“How about we go get a drink or something? I know a great café with the best chocolate chip muffins.” He smiled at me.

“Okay then.” I answered placing my shoes back on my feet as Harry did the same. We took off the coats and then proceeded to wash our hands in the bathroom. Suddenly I felt water splash on my face.

“Harry!” I laughed at his silly move.

“Just had too.”

“Okay let’s go.” I said.

Fifteen minutes later we’re sitting beside each other in a booth. “What do you want me to order for you or do you want to see the menu, I’m not sure if you’ve been here before.” He rambled.

“Relax, I’ve been here plenty of times. I came here right after we um had that argument where I ditched your car.” I told him feeling pretty uncomfortable.

“Oh.” He lifted his eyebrow.

“I just want a caramel frap, and one of those chocolate chip muffins.” I gave him a small grin.

“I’ll be right back then.” He then walked away.

I spot a familiar old women cleaning tables, she comes over to my table and I instantly recognize her, “Hey you’re the woman I met the night I came here feeling all depressed and shit.” I laughed.

“You didn’t seem so depressed then.” She inquired.

I decided to ignore her statement or opinion I guess. “I could really use some help organizing and re-arranging my room, think you can help me out?”

“Of course. Anytime before next month, I got a new job.” She said very excited.

“Really where?” I was pretty curious; she seemed thrilled about it.

“I’m going to be a live in nanny. It’s wonderful, I’ll live in a huge house take care of a young girl, and oh she’s just so lovely! .” She smiled.

“That’s great. Well can we do it next weekend?” I asked her.

“Yes, absolutely.”
