𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 || Harry Styles a.u

chapter eight

The world around me froze completely.

I felt as if I was in another galaxy. The pressure he was giving on my lips was a heart-stopping moment.

He was still closing his eyes shut and the gentleness I was feeling through the kiss somehow made me did the same thing too.

My eyes fluttered closed shut and only stayed quiet before feeling him moved, fixing his position.

However, it wasn't long until Harry pulled away seconds later.

I stared into his eyes feeling stunned, my body had already stopped shaking in an instant.

He gulped before widening his eyes after realization hit him like a train.

"Fuck, Stel, I.. ." He stammered, looking away before lowering his head.

"I was too p-panic. I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do." he finally spoke.

My eyes flickered at his devastated figure before lowering them towards my hands.

All I could hear was silence and him breathing.

Nothing else.

My breathing came steady and I didn't even notice I had held them back for a long time.

At that, my eyebrows raised.

I was baffled yet puzzled at the same time.

Wait.

I got away from him this time.

I could finally get away!

While still feeling surprised, I turned back again towards the man in front of me. He was knitting his eyebrows together as he felt very bad about what he had done.

"I-..I'm really sorry for my action, Stella. I didn't know what went through my mi-" he tried very hard to explain but I quickly cut him off with a sudden hug. His strong masculine cologne filled my nose.

I wrapped my arms around him as he froze under my touch. I felt him getting tense.

My eyes wandered around for a while as the corner of my lips quivered into a smile.

"Thank you." I whispered to him.

"I don't know how you did it but I managed to escape him for the first time. So thank you, Harry." I spoke in disbelief.

I felt him slowly wrapped his arm around me as well seconds later upon hearing my words.

"It...worked?" he questioned in my ear and I could only chuckle in delighted.

"Yes. Yes, it did work, Harry." I pulled away.

He stared at me in awe.

"I can't believe it. No one ever succeeds distracting me before, whenever I'm having my panic attacks. I could finally escape from him this time." I felt like crying again but in happiness, of course.

"I kissed you." he suddenly reminded.

At that, my cheeks immediately turned red and my smile vanished completely.

Shoot.

I was kissing Harry Styles.

I was definitely in trouble.

"Oh right. How stupid I was for not realizing that." I turned quiet and should feel ashamed of myself.

"In that case then, don't do that again, Harry. You'll definitely gonna get in trouble sooner or later." I gulped down the lump in my throat. My mouth felt dry for some reason. Maybe it was because of the crying earlier.
