Riley's POV:

"Harry, stop messing around." I groan as he keeps putting random shit in the basket. "What do we need whipped cream for?" I laugh pulling it out of the basket and putting it back onto the shelf.

"I want it for hot chocolate." He whines like a baby and puts it back inside the basket. We continue walking, grabbing the stupid things our parents asked us to get like bread, batteries and water bottles for the house. As we were walking through the store, the lights suddenly went out.

"Harry, where are you?" I gasp, and feel hands snake around my back to my stomach.

"I'm right here, relax." He laughs and pushes me against a shelf.

"Harry, stop." I mutter with a smile on my face. He pushed his lower half against mine in the pitch black supermarket, making me knock a few cans off the shelf. "There are other people in the store!" I whisper shout as he kisses up and down my neck.

"They can't see shit right now!" He laughs silently into my hair, and presses his lips against mine. I could hear peoples carts pedaling back and forth down the aisle so I quickly dropped our basket to the side and cupped his face with my hands. We stood intertwined against the shelves, his hands traveling up and down my body and my arms wrapped around his shoulders. As a small moan released his lips, the lights fluttered back on.

"Lights are back on." I smile gazing into his eyes.

"No, really?" He smirks pulling away and picking up the basket.

"Riley? Is that you?" I heard a woman call my name. I slowly turned my head around and put my hand to my lips when I saw who was standing there.

"Hi Mrs. Germano! What are you.. What are you doing here?" I stutter, suddenly seeing Nick right behind her. "Hi Nick." I smile awkwardly.

"Oh honey, I've missed you so much!" She smiled pulling me in for a hug. I nervously patted her back and glared at Nick who had his eyes glued on Harry's.

"I've missed you too! It's been a while. How are things?" I ask taking a step back towards Harry. Her eyes traveled from mine to Harry's and I could tell she knew something was up. Oh my gosh... Did she see us? This is so awkward.

"I'm alright. I was completely crushed when Nicky told me you guys broke up..."

"Mom, please don't." He interrupted giving her a look.

"I know Nicky." She smiled sadly, making him cringe. I know he hates being called that. "So who's your friend?" She asked, pointing at Harry.

"Oh he's umm... he's just..." I stammered.

"I'm Harry Styles, her new neighbor and friend." He smiled shaking her hand. This feels so unlike him... and I could tell Nick was fuming. Usually I would be mortified at this situation, but I just find it totally amusing.

"Hi Harry, I'm Nicky's mom. Are you familiar with him?" She gestured to her son standing in his varsity jacket.

"I think so, hey Nicky." Harry smirked, and I almost peed my pants.

"Mom, let's get out of here." He muttered storming past us with his cart, accidentally bumping into me. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you aga---" I cut him off quickly.

"No harm done. Forget about it, yeah?" I smiled weakly, and he went on his way. I turned back to Mrs. Germano who had a confused look on her face. "Well we better get going before the lights go back out from the storm... It was lovely seeing you!" I giggled kindly turning on my heels and walking away with Harry following.

"Nice to see you both. And for the record, new neighbors that are just friends usually don't make out in the middle of a public supermarket. Just saying." She scoffed with a sarcastic smile and walked away. I glared at Harry who had a serious look on his face, and I thought I was about to cry... instead we both busted out laughing and headed towards check out.

On the drive home we listened to some Fall Out Boy on the radio, and Harry teased me about being a fan.

"So were you happy to see Nicky?" He asked with a smirk.

"Nope." I replied shaking my head, smiling. I've been doing a lot of that today, smiling.

"Were you happy about the other events that took place in the super market?" He smirked playfully. We got to a stop light and I put on the brakes quickly.

"Remind me again what those other events were?" I smiled and leaned in to meet his lips. His tongue explored every cell of my mouth and he bit my lip, a total turn on. This was short lived however, when the car from behind honked their horn from behind.

"Christ, people in this town are pushy." He scoffed giving them the finger through the window.

"Harry!!!" I shouted slapping his shoulder. "You can't just do that, especially when I was in the wrong." I laughed and pulled into the driveway.

"You're not the boss of me." He smiled as we walked back inside.

"Took you long enough." My mother joked greeting us at the front door. As we entered the house we heard a large crack and the whole house shook.

"What the hell was that?" I shouted, jumping into Harry's arms. When I realized what I had just done, I quickly climbed out.

"Oh my gosh, look outside." My mom shouted, and the huge pine tree from across the street was laying on top of Harry's garage.

"You're kidding me..." Harry's father shouted running outside, with my dad and Harry following. This is not good. Not good at all. Anne and my mother called the police, and I was just thankful that the tree only landed on their garage and not the whole house. However, it did take down a power line.

"We're probably not going to have power for weeks!" Anne complained throwing her hands over her head. "I've gotta call the insurance company now, and find a place to stay... And there are no hotels nearby. How is Harry going to get to school!" She sighed throwing her hands on her head.

"He can stay here?" My mom whispered, asking instead of telling at first. Anne looked up with big eyes and shook her head.

"I couldn't do that... I barely know you and Harry he..."

"He's a big boy. Besides, he goes to school with Riley anyway. It would really be no trouble." My mom smiled patting her back. Anne dabbed her eyes with a napkin and nodded her head.

"Maybe just a for a few days. Thank you so much Trish, you're a lifesaver." She whispered and pulled my mom in for a hug.

So Harry is staying with me? In my house? For a few days? I think I'm liking that idea as much as I'm afraid of it. I glared out the window to see the three of them outside trying to figure out a way inside the garage, it was almost cute. Harry's eyes met mine and he waved to me quickly, and I took a picture of it on my cellphone.

I sent it to Dixie and then sent a separate message saying, "Looks like I've got a new roommate for a few days... :) " She's gonna flip out. Hopefully she will be accepting of me and Harry... of Whatever we have going, which I have no idea.
