"Who's texting you, that stupid boy of yours?" I hadn't realized that Harry was near me and I hadn't realized that I wasn't in reality at the moment. His voice punctured me as he spoke, seeming agitated at the fact that I was receiving text messages from Liam. I turned my head to face him. His brows were creased in the middle of his face and his eyes read anger. His orbs changed colors like a fortune-tellers ball, going from emerald green to deep grey. His hands were still placed on his lap, but instead of being folded together, they were bound into fists.
"I don't like him. Especially with you." The voice that came out his mouth was deep and sounded threatening. My body froze in its place, like a picture on a wall. What was I supposed to say? The words from my mouth were inescapable as I had forgotten how to produce them. I arose from my seat, not saying a word and trying to keep my eyes distanced from his. Reaching for my purse, I tried walking away as confident as I could, not showing my true feelings bottled up inside me. With my head bowed, I successfully began my path away from the man named Harry. Unexpectedly, my body hit another as I had ran into Robbie.
"Hey! How do you like being the new star of the movie hmm?" He seemed jumpy, like someone put something in his drink because he had never acted like this before.
"Yeah, haha seems great." I tried applying a smile that fakely was plastered on my face.
"Have you met your new Co-Work-" His voiced paused like the ending of a voice recorder. "Actually here's the man himself!" His finger pointed behind me as I suddenly felt a warm breath at the nape of my neck.
My body began to shut down as I knew exactly who was behind me. Slowly, I turned around to see the recent mysterious man I had escaped from a few moments ago.
"Wait, he's my co-worker?" I didn't seem to comprehend the words coming from his mouth, was he speaking Chinese? "Yes ma'm! He's your love interest." Harry's laugh rumbled through his chest as he found it amusing at the fact that I'm supposed to be in love with him.
Turning to Robbie, I asked, "Really?" sounding both wary and confused at the same time.
"You should be thankful I'm the one that got you this fucking job." The familiar raspy voice spoke from behind me. His voice was a low murmur, coming from underneath his breath. The crouching of his tone was loud enough for me to hear but not to reach Robbie's ears. Robbie's expression seemed confused as he couldn't fathom what was going between us in that moment.
"Well, I'll just go now haha," awkwardness came from his voice as he felt that he was supposedly interrupting something important. "Come tonight! Can't wait to see you there. And thanks again Styles." Clicking his tongue while winking and pointing at Harry, he walked away, finding someone more engaging to do. Styles?
"I hope to see you there." His thick hot breath liberated from his lips falling onto my ear. His hand appeared from behind me as it came in contact with my arm. The touch of his fingertips grazed my skin lightly, leaving a path of goosebumps to appear. In my peripherals, I could see the sneer smirk that was arranged on his face. His enjoyment of making me feel distressed was gathered all along his prominent features. "Bye Jess." The whiff of air was absorbed through my nostrils while he strided away and honestly, I had never smelled such a scent so strong and masculine. I was left speechless by his actions. I didn't know what to do. I just needed to get home.
-----------------------
The drive home was extremely outstretched as the thoughts of Harry dominated my brain. The way he spoke, his body language, the way his eyes met mine, the pure mysteriousness of his persona was laced through out my brain and it was taking me over. I shook my head violently. "Stop!" I yelled, banging my hands on the steering wheel. His words were on replay, "You'll find out. I always get what I want." But, what exactly was it that he wanted from me? We had only just met, and I could already tell he had mapped his way to my heart. Fortunately, I had Liam, and I knew that he would never let anything happen to me.
