{ANNA’s POV}

“Harry, she is going to be fine. She knows this place all too well” I said as I looked at Harry. As soon as we walked down the streets, Gemma suddenly vanished and we have been looking for her since then.

“What if she gets kidnapped? What if she gets lost?” Harry questioned.

“Seriously?” I asked raising my eyebrow and Harry nodded.

“She has been living her since so many years and like I said before, I am pretty sure that she knows this very well.”

“No. We will keep looking for her.” He insisted and I let out a sigh in defeat. I heard Harry’s phone buzz. He pulled it out of his pocket and read the message, his eyebrows furrowed as he concentrated on the phone’s screen.

“Is that from Gemma?” I asked getting impatient. It is almost dark now and my legs hurt from so much walking. Harry did not reply and kept concentrating on the screen. He finally looked up, kept his phone back in his pocket and let out a big sigh.

“Yeah, that was Gemma’s. She said that she is already home and helping mom.” He said.

“I hate to say this but I told you.”

“Yeah. I guess we should head home.”

“Nope, first we will buy yoghurt and then we will go home.” I said as I grabbed his and started pulling him although I had no clue where I was going.

“Anna, the shop is that way.” Harry said and I turned around and looked at him. He was pointing in the opposite direction. I blushed and quickly changed my direction and started pulling him.

“You are really stubborn.” He mumbled and I nodded.

“And you know that I won’t even move if I stop moving my legs while you use all your force.” He mocked at me and I looked at him. He had a smile plastered on his face while I glared.

“Wanna try?” I challenged him.

“Why not.” He said and then stopped. I tried to push him and pull him but man, he was really strong, and he won’t even bulge. The entire pulling and pushing made me tired while the entire time Harry had a smirk plastered on his face which said ‘I told you so’. Gosh, I wish I could just slap that smirk off his face. That’s when an idea came to my mind and I grinned.

“Are you sure, you won’t even move no matter what I do?” I asked him in a very sarcastic tone.

“Well, that is what I have been noticing from last five minutes, love.” He smirked at me but it won’t last longer.

“Very well, then I will make you move without even touching you Harry.”

“Really?” his entire face lit up with amusement. “What will you do?”

“Wait and watch.” I said as I slowly started moving back.

“Are you going to strip naked?”

“Shut up.”

“Then what are you planning?”

“You will see.” I said with an evil smile on my face and then I turned around and started running down the block.

“Anna, what are you doing?” Harry yelled still standing at the same position.

“Running away and I should remind you that I might even get lost and you will never be able to find me.” I said as I turned around to look at him, jogging in a backward direction. I saw him standing there, thinking about what to do and cursing under his breath. Finally he looked up and took one step, then another and finally broke into a run. I quickly turned around and started running as fast as my leg could carry me.

“Anna, why are you still running? You made your point, now stop.” He yelled between his breaths. I looked around and saw him gaining on me, I instantly increased my speed.

“DAMN YOU ANNA!!!” Harry cursed and I couldn’t help but grin. I was no longer running because of the challenge, I was running because it felt good to feel the fresh air on my face but I was getting tired.

Crap, I have become so lazy.

“YOU DIDN’T SAY I WIN!!” I yelled at top of my lungs.

He didn’t reply for a while and I was dying to hear him say that I won so that I could stop running because now my legs started giving up.

“OKAY, YOU WIN!!!” He yelled and I slowed myself and finally stopped. I waited panting heavily as he reached where I was standing within two seconds. He threw himself at the ground and took deep breaths, trying to slow down his heart beat. He finally recovered and glared at me, his face still red and covered with sweat and so was mine.

“What the hell was that?” He asked.

“What?” I asked very innocently looking at him with my puppy dog face.

“Don’t act so innocent. Why were you running like a maniac?”

“Because I love running.” I simple replied as I sat on the road beside him. It was the truth, I always loved running. Running made me feel like I was free and could soar in the sky if I would run forever.

“So grandma, if you permit, can we go and purchase yoghurt?” I asked wriggling my eyebrows and standing up.

“Why do you so desperately want to have yoghurt?”

“Well, if it isn’t obvious, I love yoghurt!!!” I said throwing my hands up in the air like a little kid. I looked at Harry who shook his head. Everyone in my family sometimes acts like a little kid.

“How old are you, again?” Harry asked as he stood up, patting away the dust off his jeans.

“Five.” I replied with a very straight face.

“I thought so.” He mumbled and I grinned.

{HARRY’s POV}

“Are you freaking kidding me!?!” Anna yelled at top of her lungs as she stomped her feet on the ground. I never thought that a non-relationship lover girl who seemed always so serious could have this childish side of her and to be honest I loved this side of her.

“Harry, why are you staring at me like that? It’s creepppyyyy!!!” She yelled again, now pointing her index finger on me. She has been acting like a five year old since she found out that the shop is closed.

“Anna, how long are you going to yell at me?” I questioned her as she shot me a glare.

“It’s your fault. If you wouldn’t have thrown that stupid challenge at me then we wouldn’t have wasted time and would have reached here on time to get yoghurts.” She retorted.

“Blame Gemma, she was the one who vanished into thin air and we wasted time to find her.”

“And who was trying to search her even when I said that she will be fine?” She asked and I just stared at her, not able to find any answer.

“See you are the only one to get blamed and Gemma is too sweet to be blamed. So I will blame you and only you.” She spoke.

Uhhhh!!! Why does everyone find Gemma nice even when she is the one who is annoying?

“Fine, blame it on me.” I said finally admitting defeat.

“Now, where will we get yoghurt, Harry?” She asked.

“Not anywhere at this time. All shops would be closed.” I said and she pouted.

“Don’t worry. I will buy you some yoghurt tomorrow.” I added.

“You better do!” She said as she glared at me.

“Promise.”

“Pinky promise?”

“Yeah, yeah pinky promise.” I said.

“Now shall we go home? Mom has been calling since ages to get our arse back there, the dinner is getting cold.” I asked.

“Fine, let’s go.” She said.

“But...” she continued.

“Uhhhh! Anna, no ‘buts’ please.” I practically begged.

“Let me complete my sentence, Harry Styles.” She said angrily.

“Ok, go on.”

“I am tired since we have been walking for ages so, do you mind giving me piggy ride?” She asked making her puppy dog face and I couldn’t say no.

“Hop on.” I said as I turned around and bent down.

“Oh my god, how am I going to walk Anna? You are so damn heavy?” I whined as she hopped on me. I was just kidding because she was to light.

“I am not that heavy, you idiot.” She said as she playfully slapped back of my head and I couldn’t help but grin.

---

We have been walking for ten minutes and still we are not even close to my house. All thanks to that stupid yoghurt and stupid Gemma. Speaking of Gemma, her message still troubled me. She told me to tell Anna how I really feel about her and that is why she left us. She said that she won’t let me get inside the house unless I tell Anna about my feelings.

What am I supposed to tell Anna? The bigger question was how am I supposed to tell her that I love her?

“Harry, you are not even listening to me!!” Anna said in a very accusing tone and I realised that I had completely gotten lost in my thoughts and didn't hear what she was saying.

“Well, I was thinking how cute is this side of yours.” I smirked at her as she blushed.

“I am always like this Harry.” She said and I raised my eyebrow.

“Well, at least around the people I feel comfortable with. This inner child of me comes out by itself.” She explained.

“So, you mean to say that you are comfortable with me. Does that mean that you like me?” I asked as I poked her.

“Don’t get your hopes too high, Styles.” She scoffed as she beat my hand away.

“Oh come on! I am not that bad. You have got to like me, everyone does.” I whined.

“Well, I think that I might like you.” She said pretending as if she was in deep thought.

“Yay!!” I fisted my hand in the air. Now we both were acting like two little kids.

“We are almost there.” I said as we reached the last turn to my house. I saw Anna give out a huge sigh. I am pretty sure that she was tired.

Damn you Gemma, if you would have told me about your plan earlier then we wouldn’t have wasted so much time looking for you.

“Anna, I wanted to tell you something.” I said in a very low voice.

“I am listening.” She said as she looked at me.

“It is really important.”

“Please don’t tell me that you want to kill someone and want me to be your accomplice in crime.”

“Seriously?” I asked as I raised my eyebrow.

“Sorry, I watched a lot of crime movies when I was young.” She admitted, raised her hands in surrender.

“Anyways I was saying that...” I trailed off, not able to form a sentence. I had to tell her that I like her. No.... I have to tell her that I love her. But the way she looked at me made my heart stop. Her brownish-black eyes stared at me and it felt as if I could see her soul if I keep on looking. Her plum lips set in a small smile and her eyebrows up as she waited for me to speak.

“I-I.....” I again trailed off, getting lost in her beauty.

“Harry, you have to finish the sentence today.” She said. I grabbed her arm and made her stop walking. We stood under a street light and I could clearly see her face, mesmerised by her beauty.

“I love you, Anna.” I blurted out. I saw her amused look turn into a serious one and suddenly we were surrounded by silence. I never thought that silence could be heard this loud.

“A-Anna, say something.” I begged. I wanted her answer and I wanted it to be a yes.

{ANNA’s POV}

I stood staring at him, completely lost for words. Even though I heard him say that he loved me but I thought he was fooling around with his sister. Never thought he would actually mean it.

“A-Anna, say something.” He begged but I couldn’t say anything. It felt as if I had become dumb. I opened my mouth but nothing would come out. I didn’t know what to say. I mean I like him, hell maybe I love him too. Then why, why it is taking me so much time to say that I love him too? Maybe I wasn’t ready. Maybe we are taking this too fast. But it was Harry who taught me that everyone isn’t like Luke. I know he isn’t like Luke.

You promised Anna, that you won’t let Luke affect whatever your future holds. He was your past. You can’t wait for him forever. He doesn’t deserve you. Let him go. Move on or else you will lose Harry who has been nothing but nice to you since the day you two met.

I stood there staring at him; his muscular, broad shoulders, those curly dishevelled brown hair, plum, pink lips and his vibrant green eyes. Everything about him was just perfect. No, it was more than perfect.... it was totally different and I had no clue to describe him. He is an angel and I am afraid that this might just be a dream and I would wake up any moment. I didn’t want it to be a dream; I wanted it to be real.... I wanted this angel standing in front of me to really mean that he loves me.

And that’s all it took me to realize what I want.

“Am I dreaming?” I finally spoke.

“No.”

"So, this is real?” I asked and he nodded his head.

“You really meant what you said?”

“Yes, Anna. I meant what I said. I love you.” He whispered as I gulped down.

“I-I don’t even know what is making me say this Harry, but I guess I love you too.” I whispered.

“No... I don’t guess. I love you, Harry.” I finally admitted. His serious face suddenly lit with excitement.

“Really?” He asked.

“Yes.” I whispered as I nodded my head.

“Then will you be my girlfriend?” He asked as he touched his forehead with mine.

“Definitely.” I smiled and he leaned down to kiss me. As our lips crashed together It was just like our first kiss, maybe better because know I know that this guy kissing me is mine. Our tongues battled and explored each other’s mouth. My hands went up to grab his hair while his one hand slid up to my neck and other remained at my waist, pulling me closer to him.

He finally pulled back.
“I never thought I would ever meet someone like you.” He whispered.

“Well, to be honest I had given hope on meeting someone like you Harry. It has been a while since everyday and everything has felt this right.” I mumbled.

“And from now onwards everyday and everything will feel this right. I promise.” He finally said before he once more placed a kiss on my lips.
