Via’s POV
I turn in my bed and hit something solid. No, it’s not the floor. I open my eyes slowly, a bit scared to see what could be lying in bed next to me.
I let out a big sigh once I see who it is: Harry.
I forgot he came over last night and stayed over.
I stare at him a little longer watching his chest heave up and down slowly to the beat of his breathing. His eyebrows are forward slightly and his lips are a bit chapped and parted. I smile and carefully slip out of bed so not to wake the sleeping baby.
-
“Good morning sleeping beauty” I say smiling at Harry who walks into my living 20 minutes later.
“Were you up long?” Harry asks rubbing his eyes. I move over on my small couch to give him room to sit.
Oh gosh he’s so cute he looks like a baby!
“No not long. Just sitting here watching Bridesmaids for the millionth time” I say chuckling
Harry nods and yawns stretching his long limbs. This action looks strangely like a cat.
“Has anyone ever told you, you act like a cat?” I ask curiously looking at the British boy.
He looks at me and laughs.
“Pretty much all the time”
“Aw!” I laugh as he pretends to purr.
“So I was thinking…”
“Oh no”
He rolls his eyes
“Would you uh, like to go on a date?”
My eyes widen. Harry just asked me out on a… date holy mother Mary.
YES I WOULD LOVE TO!
“Yea that sounds cool”
He smiles brightly “Great. So I’m gonna head home and get dress and I’ll come back and pick you up. Sounds good?”
I smile and get up following him to my room where he gathers his stuff.
“Sounds good to me but where are we going? I need to know what to wear”
“Wear anything” he says shrugging.
“But what if I’m under dressed or over dressed? Because that happened to me once and I was traumatized” I say shivering at the memory.
He laughs “Whatever you where Via, will be fine, trust me”
I bite my lip walking to my door.
“Sure?”
“Yes” he says sounding exasperated.
“I’ll see you in a bit” he leans down and kisses my cheek quickly before he jogs to his car.
Ladies and gentlemen I am going on a date with Harry. WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?
-
I run back inside slamming the door on my way.
“What to wear?” I ask myself going through my closet. Thankfully it’s a warm day in LA so I don’t have to where much clothes but it’s still hard deciding. I haven’t gone on a date since junior year.
There’s only one thing to do: call Julia
“Julia?”
“What’s up babe?”
“I’m going on a date with Harry and I don’t exactly know what to wear”
I bite my lip looking through my rack of shorts.
Hmm these look promising.
“Did he tell you where you’re- wait, Harry asked you out!”
“Yeah and he said I could wear whatever but I-“
“WEAR SOMETHING SEXY THIS IS YOUR FRIST DATE WITH THE HOT BRIT. HOLY JESUSU, JOHN! VIANNA’S GOING ON A DATE WITH HARRY”
And that my friends, is Julia Works.
“Okay can you not yell? And just help!”
“Okay, remember that bustier you bought at forever21? The one that makes your boobs look good?”
“Yeah” I say looking at said clothing item.
“Where that and leave your hair out. Let that Latina pride shine through” I laugh and begin to run my fingers through my hair.
-
Half an hour later, I am ready for my date with Harry. Julia managed to help me decide on the stuff I couldn’t choose from, this was after she gushed about how cute Harry is and all that jazz.
I walk briskly to the door when I hear the bell ring.
I take a deep breath; I have to admit, I’m a bit nervous and I’m usually not like this.
Be cool Via, be cool.
“Hey”
“Hey, ready to go?”
“Yep”
And of course, Harry must open the car door for me.
“When are you going to let me open the door for myself?” I ask slipping into the warm seating.
“When are you going to stop fighting with me and just give in?”
He doesn’t know it but I’ve already given in.
-
Driving down to the unknown location, Harry and I joke around about the bad music on the radio and we have a competition to see who can sing the loudest. Oddly he won.
“Whatever, you’re cheating because I’m the loudest out of everyone I know” I say crossing my arms. I’m also a bit of a sore loser.
Harry smirks, “Maybe you can show me another way how loud you can be” I look at him sternly not amused by his sexual innuendo.
“Orr not” he says shrugging. I chuckle and shake my head I’m unable to keep the straight face when he keeps making funny faces.
Finally, we pull up to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk; good thing I wore comfortable shoes.
Harry and I step out of the car walking to the entrance line.
“I hope you don’t mind me bringing you here and if you do it was all Eleanor’s idea” He says looking down at me worriedly.
I laugh, “I love it. I’m actually a big fan of roller coasters”
“Oh great, that makes one of us”
I look at him curiously.
“You don’t like roller coasters yet we’re at an amusement park?”
He blushes lightly.
“Well, you weren’t suppose to know that part, and I figure there’s other stuff to do”
I smile and grab Harry’ hand “C’mon lets go on the giant dipper!”
Harry groans beside me “That does not sound like fun”
-
Harry was not kidding when he said he doesn’t like roller coasters. On the giant dipper he tried to act manly but I knew when we starting going higher and higher it freaked him out yet he still acted strong.
What really got him was the undertow, a new ride they just put in. Here he wasn’t afraid to scream like a girl and hold my hand until I couldn’t feel my fingers.
“How about we take a break from the rides and play some games instead” he states rather then asks, dragging me to a game booth.
“Step right up and win a prize!”
Harry and I sit down grabbing the water guns. The man take’s his money and proceeds to set up the game.
“Fill up the basket to the brim and you can win a prize!” He says over enthusiastic. Dude, they’re just plush toys… but whatever I still wanna win.
The bell goes off signaling us to start shooting. I see Harry’ basket getting fuller and press harder on my button determine to win. The bell goes off again and our pails lower.
“Looks like we have a tie”
Harry and I look at each other.
I stretch my hand out shaking his.
“Nice work, Styles”
He smiles
“Likewise, Gomez”
The man, reluctant to give away two prizes in one game, hands Harry and me two bears. Harry’ bear is black with sun glasses while mine’s his brown with a boy tie.
“I’d say we missed our calling, did you see how fast those buckets filled?” I say walking happily with my bear.
Harry nods sneaking a bite of my cotton candy.
“We should be secret agents or something” He says stuffing more of my candy in his never ending mouth.
I take my cotton candy away while he pouts.
“It’ll be just like Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”, I say once again diverting my candy from Harry’ prying hands.
“Excuse you!” I exclaim.
He reaches over wrapping his arms around my waist, holding me in place.
“But I want some” he whines
“You didn’t want any when I asked earlier”
He pouts and barriers his head in my neck, mumbling something incoherent. I sigh and give in. He’s just too damn cute and he knows it.
“Fine, you can have the last piece” He perks up instantly and gives me a quick kiss on my cheek, happily eating the rest of the pink sugar.
-
Harry ended up going back for another cotton candy just because he’s a greedy monster. And as pay back, I take his cotton candy leaving him with a permanent pout on his face until we get to the end of the boardwalk and decide to sit on the beach.
-
The sand is cool under our feet, just sitting peacefully watching the California sun set slowly over the skies.
The scene is romantic and serene, mostly couples adorning the popular beach.
The sun sets and we’re left with the light hue of the moon.
I play in the sand making figures in the brown grains that only make sense to me. Suddenly Harry’ hand goes over mind. I look up to see his green eyes staring at me.
“Via, I-” he closes his mouth forwarding his eyebrows, seeming to think about his next words.
I wait patiently.
“I really like you and I would like to continue seeing you like this”
Now a days, people would probably look at Harry’ carefree smile and tattoos and think he is anything but a gentlemen, but he’s the complete opposite. The way he talks show’s he has nothing but respect for me and that is one of the thing I like about him.
I smile at his choice of wording; staring at him in his white shirt and snapback pulling his hair from his for head. How is that not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen/ heard?
“I like you too Harry, and I would like to go on another date with you” I say throwing the information out on the table. That’s it, there’s no going back Harry and I are dating.
-
Well, today was defiantly eventful.
Harry dropped me off at my house with the promise of seeing me tomorrow to have a movie date which I’m excited about. He says he’s going to bring all his favorite childhood films while I bring mine.
As soon as I get settled in bed, I answer Julia’s text about Harry and my date, updating her and Kimmy on our current status.
Status: Dating Harry styles.
My phone goes off right before sleep takes over my body; I lazily look at my phone. Smiling at the screen I answer the text with a smiley face then fall into a deep peaceful sleep.
