"Didn't know it before
Surprised when you caught me off guard"
Addie~
"ADDISON ANNA REED GET DOWN HERE" a voice echoed from down stairs. I could tell instantly who that voice belonged to, my one and only mother.
I start to crawl out of the warming comfort of my bed knowing that I've instantly done something to displease her.
Slowly stepping down the stairs preparing for an abusive speech about how I'm not good enough or what I've ever done wrong but it never comes
I stood in front of my mother with apologetic eyes ( if you don't want to be beat I suggest you apologize before you even knew what you've done wrong)
"I need you to go out for 5 hours, I'm having jack come round so you better stay out of my face, I don't want to see you or hear you" she spat viciously
Jack is my mums new boyfriend I've never seen him or heard him, I suppose my mum never told him she had a daughter, but then again I'm not bothered, I've never had a father figure in my life so far so why would I need one now?
I nodded and slipped on my shoes, grabbing my keys and tapping my back pocket to make sure I've got my phone and purse. I open the door swiftly and close the door after existing.
Where to go? Where in London would be calm? My mind wandered.
I took my phone out of my pocket and clicked onto google maps, although I've lived in Kensington for 1 and 1/2 years now I haven't really explored, my focus tends to begin with education and safety
My fingers type into google maps 'cafes' I click onto 'over under coffee' seeing as it's a 10 minute walk.
I begin to look up but my mind clouded when I hit something hard, my small 5ft body fell instantly on the floor as I looked up to a man with stern features.
"might want to look where your going princess." His voice spoke, the word princess rippled off his tongue like molasses as he complimented me sarcastically.
"I'm so sorry sir, I-I didn't mean to I just-" I rambled on soon to be cut off,
"It's okay darling, what's a small little girl like you doing in a dangerous place like Kensington, isn't your mum worried that you aren't home?" He questioned smirking.
My minded wandered up to his features, his tight black suit trousers gave me an outline of his muscular legs, a white shirt half way unbuttoned gave me ideas of his inked skin and a black blazer covered the rest of his muscular arms, you could tell he was a high class man .
"Ah- uh, well I just was- uh, well you see the thing is I-" I stuttered
"Come on you can tell me the truth?!" He exclaimed getting inpatient. He reached for my boney arms-helping me off the pavement where I fell back
"Well my mum has her new boyfriend round and she doesn't want me to ruin it so she kicked me out of the house for a bit until he's gone." I stated the truth, this was the most I had told anyone about my personal life other than family, and I didn't even know this man.
"Well that doesn't seem that nice does it, so where was you heading? " he said guiding me with his arm across my should walking me across the street.
"I was looking for a place to sit and get a drink sir" I spoke honestly
"Aaha I know a place where they do the best coffee in Kensington" he spoke mesmerizingly
" I can take you there?" He questioned
"No sir, I've caused you enough trouble as it is, I've wasted your time and I bumped into you, I'd be in debt up to my eyeballs for you if you took me there "
" nonsense, I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you in these streets, I'll call my driver and he can come pick us up and take us there, I was about to go home but seeing as you mentioned coffee I fancy some now" he chuckled
Wow he has his own driver? He's definitely loaded
"Are you sure sir, I don't want to cause you trouble?"
"Nonsense darling, it's all fine" he spoke picking up his phone dialing a number
"Yes Fionn, opposite the tores building, okay see you in a few" He rambled on before shutting off his phone with his ringed fingers
"So princess, what's your name?" He questioned
"Ah-uh it's Addison but I go with Addie, my mother calls me Addison when she's angry at me which is 99% of the time so I don't like it sir."
"What a pretty name, Addie, please call me harry or mr styles, sir makes me feel old" he spoke making me chuckle and blush
We made small talked before a black Audi with tinted windows pulled up besides us, mr styles opened the door for me and guided me into the back of the car.
I was always taught that you shouldn't trust strangers but, what have I got to lose, if an attractive man offered to take you to a coffee shop would you turn it down?
Mr styles closed the car door after he got in next to me
"Over under coffee please fionn " he spoke, my head perked up at the familiar name
"Yes mr styles" the driver spoke pulling away instantly
"So tell me about yourself Addie, do you work? Where do you go to school? How old are you?"
"Well mr styles I currently don't work but I want to as I need money for my studies after I leave this year, I go to school at holland park school, I'm in my last year which makes me 16 years of age." I spoke proudly, excited at the idea of leaving my secondary school.
His eyes grew dark at the sound of my age, he seemed cautious, conflicted about something but he shook it off instantly
"Ahh I went to that secondary, do you know Mr Horan he's one of my very close friends?" He questioned again
"Yes I do, he's my favorite teacher, maths has always been one of my favorite subjects."
He seemed pleased at my answer.
The car soon pulled up outside a fancy looking coffee shop, mr styles opened the door for me and guided me into the shop with his large hand on my small back, i looked up and gave him a toothy grin as the smell of fresh patisseries filled my nose mixed in with freshly strong brewed coffee
He guided me to a windows seat in a booth and sat down opposite me. I took the drinks menu in my hands whilst looking for the perfect drink, 'cold coffee' my eyes skimmed to the prices as I gawked £14 for a cold coffee, I brought £5 our with me, expecting that would be enough I felt embarrassed
"Mr styles I'm not sure if I can afford the coffee in this place, it's rather expensive"
"Addie, it's my treat, don't worry about it, you can repay me by letting me know more about you."
"What would you like to know?"
"What's your favorite color? When's your birthday? How many friends do you have? Who do you live with? What's your favorite animal?
"Well hmm, my favorite color has to be, baby pink or grey, my birthday is the 16th of December, I have no friends as I like to keep to myself and they made it clear to me in year 7 that I was an outcast, I live with my mum as my dad was abusive and left when I was 3 and my favorite animal has to be a dog or an elephant, I'm very indecisive mr styles" I chuckle
He took in all my answers, analyzing me and my expressions, a smirk placed over his angelic face as he understood everything I said
A waitress came over soon after asking us what we would like, mr styles ordered a black coffee and I ordered a cold brew coffee with 3 sugars
"Too much sugars gonna Rott your soul little girl" he spoke
"It makes coffee taste much better, I can't help it" I chuckled
Soon after our coffees came and we began to small talk again.
"Mr styles I hope you don't mind me asking but where do you work?" My mind begged for answers so I let a question slip
"I'm not sure if you've heard of it but styles enterprise, it's near Stafford terrace"
I gawked, was he the boss? That's a multimillionaire company, they deal with trades across the boarder.
"Are you the owner mr styles"
"Yes baby I am" his hoarse voice made my insides tingle
We soon finished our coffees and I glanced at the time on a small clock behind mr styles.
It's only been 2 hours, I have to be back at 10pm and it's 7 now
"Do you have to be home any time soon Addie?" He questioned
"I'm not meant to be home until after 10"
He looked at me funnily as if I had spoken sour words
"What do you mean darling"
"I said earlier my mum kicked me out because her boyfriend was coming round, she said to come back in 5 hours, which is 10."
"Wait so you mean she kicked you out, so you'll be wondering the streets until 10?"
"Well usually I would just go sit in the library with Anne the librarian but seeing I'm here with you and we are will be done with coffee soon then yes I guess I'll just wonder the streets" as soon as I mentioned Anne his eyes lit up
"Princess you can come back to my house for a bit, we can watch some tv and I'll make you dinner, when it's 10 I'll take you back home to your house? Does that sound better than walking around in the dark streets?"
"Are you sure mr styles, I don't want to seem like a bother, I can go sit in the library for a few hours, honestly I've caused you too much trouble already."
"Nonsense, you'll keep me company anyway, I live alone in a big house, I get lonely sometimes"
Mr styles soon after called his driver to come pick us up to take us to his house, when we arrived I gasped at how big it was, I couldn't believe it, once in his house you could see I looked poor compared to what he had, his living room was the size of my whole down stairs.
"Take a seat on the sofas, you can put on any program you want, I'll go fix us up some food, what do you want?"
"I uhh, pasta?" I questioned
"Sounds perfect I'll let you know when it's done" mr styles spoke as I found the controls flicking over the channels until I found Cartoon Network, okay yes, I maybe 16 but that doesn't stop me watching we bare bears does it now?
I giggle at the tv as grizzly runs after panda, yes I think I do have the mind of a 5 year old
"Princess what are you watching?" Mr styles questioned, I giggled
"It's we bare bears, there are bears that go on adventures!!" I exclaimed getting excited that he was showing interest in my favorite show.
"Awee you are actually so adorable" he spoke coming closer to me
I could feel tension in my cheeks as a fuchsia red color made it's way tattooing on my face, clearly embarrassed at him treating me like I'm 7.
I turned around as mr styles went back to his kitchen finishing off out dinner
Did I really just get excited of we bare bears in-front of a beautiful soul, did I just call mr styles beautiful?But wow his jaw, his pink lips, the power he has- STOP THINKING LIKE THAT ADDIE HES AN ADULT he's probably 30 which is too old for you, anyway he wouldn't be interested in a little inexperienced little girl like you anyway.
My mind made me feel shitty as I got jealous over the fact I could never have mr styles and I realized that I liked him even though I just met him
"Addie dinners done" mr styles spoke from the kitchen, I got off the sofa making my way into the kitchen
With these provocative thoughts I knew mr styles was going to be the death of me, his hair is perfectly styled with the perfect natural color of milkiness brown, his emerald eyes glow like he just received a gift, his nose is long and his jaw is sharp, beautiful is what he is.
