Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 35

When I reached the carpark I saw Ian waiting for me. ” You didn’t haven’t to wait for me”

“I did, I couldn’t let you walk home all alone” he pointed out

“Okay then let’s go” Since Harry was probably going to be at my house, I told Ian to take me some place else.

“Where would you like to go”.

“Anywhere but home”

“Okay I can do that” we got into his car and drove off. I was happy to be far from home already but my heart ached continuosly, I wanted it to stop.

“We’ve arrived”

He stopped at an arcade place and I was over the moon. “I’ve never been to an arcade before ,you know”

“What , you must be joking!”

“No it’s true, I never got to go”

“Well let me take your arcade virginity, it’ll be fun I promise you”. As I got out the car he grabbed a hold of my hand and lead me to the entrance.

I wasn’t even sure how long we’ve been here, I never knew I could laugh this much, especially with Ian. Who would’ve thought he could be fun, Definitely not me. He was the quiet boy that no one really talked to. He made me realize that I’ve always been a bit egotistical and all up in my own business, which is partly the problem of me not having many friends, apart from Max of course.

But being around Ian, someone that I barely even know, makes me feel less stressed, somehow I forgot all about the Harry drama and was just enjoying my life.

“So what do you think then?” Ian said as he put down the plastic gun.

“It’s amazing I love it here!, Thanks for taking me”

“No problem ,I’m glad you like it” he threw me on of his cheesy smiles that I began to become accustomed to.

“You hungry?, Let’s go eat”

“You practically read my mind”

He swung his arm around my neck and lead me to the back of the arcade which happened to be right next to a fast food restaurant. “This is convenient”

“Sure is, this is another reason why I love this place”.

We sat down in a booth and ordered our food, I got fries and a shake while he got nachos and coke. He seemed to be a regular customer as the waiter called him by his name.

“How did that guy know you?”

“Oh didn’t I tell you my uncle owns this place, people know me here”

“That’s pretty awesome”

When the food came, it took me about 5 minutes to demolish it, which made Ian laugh. “Never seen a girl eat before?”

“Not that fast, no”

“Then I guess it was your lucky day”

We laughed and chatted a little longer and then came out to the carpark. The sky was painted just right, with hints of warm reds and purples, it was beautiful. We sat gazing at the dim stars, in the car, clearly being amused by the scenery.

“It’s beautiful isn’t it?” I say

“I’ve never seen anything like it” he replies. I turn my head and he’s staring at me. “What?, Have I got food round my mouth?”

He smiles intently and brushes a strand of hair behind my ear. “W-what are you-?”

He goes into kiss me but I turn my head to the side. “I can’t do this Ian”

“What why not? “

He sighs and leans back into his seat, sounding some what annoyed.

“I’m sorry if I lead…..”

“No Rosie I think it’s because I’m not your ideal type isn’t it? I’m not an order guy or a teacher! “

“What? I don’t know what you’re talking about” my palms begin to sweat and I feel trapped. “Don’t lie Rosie I know about you and Mr Styles, I see the way he looks at you, and its written all over your face”

“So is it true, you’ve been fuc*ing a teacher?” Frustration was obvious in his tone. “No it’s not like that, it’s complicated” I fight back.

The car is filled with deadly silence and I’m scared to breath. After a moments passed I speak up. “Please don’t tell anyone” I whisper shamefully. I hear another one of his loud sighs as he calms down. “Okay Rosie I won’t, but just so you know he doesn’t deserve someone as perfect as you…”

“Can you please take me home?”

“Yeah”.

We pull up to my house later than expected. The sky is now littered with tiny stars within the darkness of the night. I never knew it was this late.

“Thanks for tonight, and thanks for keeping my secret”

“It’s no problem, I’m glad you had fun”

As I reached for the door handle he grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him, and kissed me tightly. I pull away.

“Take care of yourself Rosie” he says as I get out of he car. 1

I cautiously open the door, expecting to be met with a furious looking Harry styles but instead I’m greeted by the smell of fresh muffins and a familiar singing voice…
