•• He knew definitions of beauty, for he recognized it wherever he went. It wasn't hard to spot... well until he saw her.
For she was like nothing he's ever seen, and he wasn't like anyone she's ever met. ••
I wake up with a jolt. Today is the first of June. Crap.
You're probably wondering why on earth I'm so freaked about it being the first of June... remember earlier my dear mother calling me about my sisters party and how I needed a plus one?
Yeah well... that ain't happened yet. I was contemplating Zayn but that's just asking for even more of a headache and drama. If I bring Brielle that'll just embarrass my whole family.... who on earth could I bring?
I'll figure it out. I always do.
I push myself out of bed and get ready for a long day at work, unraveling my braids and pulling out the chucks of curls so my hair has more volume.
Once I finished, I grab my belongings and walk out the door. I catch the subway to work, and as I sit down.... guess who else is next to me?
"Hello Aubrey, quite odd how we keep running into each-other." Harry slyly smiles at me. I eye him suspiciously. Is he following me? Why can't I ever just have one normal friend, on life it seems all my friends turn out weird.
Harry notices the look I'm giving him and chuckles.
"I'm not following you, chill. Please."
Hold up, is this dude a mind reader?
"So it isn't odd how it seems everywhere I go, you're there?" I ask skeptically.
"You mean, it's odd how everywhere I go you're there?" He re-words my question.
I throw him a playful glare.
"Harry, " I deadpan.
"Aubrey." He replies, with this adorable childish grin.

Why does he have to be so adorable?
I quickly remove that thought from my head. I pull out my phone to check how I'm doing on time when my sister texts me about my plus-one. I huff and roll my eyes.
Give me a break, I don't even want to go... I think to myself.
Harry notices my shift in attitude. "Everything good?" He questions me, eyes carefully studying me.
I just smile and nod, staring straight forward. I'll just keep this inside and handle it myself. I always have and I will continue too. I don't need help from anyone... they all leave or get scared anyways.
That certain thought makes me begin to ponder... why do people get scared when things get real? Are they afraid of failing to give that person what they need, that it will affect them? I wish I knew the answer.
Soon the train stops and I quickly exit the train without a glance towards Harry.
Brielle's screaming at the latest male in her life, Daniel, over the phone. In front of the customers. Lord, help this child. I swear I love her, but she sure lacks common sense.
"Daniel! Daniel, I got the screenshots right here man. Nia sent me everything, how are you gonna argue with screenshots?" She shouts, shifting her hips. Her eyes twitch... aw dang, he done lied again. She's going to kill him.
I signal her over to help me make this latté so she doesn't go over his house and kill him. She notices and blinks appreciatively. I nod and focus back on my work once she hangs up.
"Brielle, I keep telling you to focus on yourself. Stop worrying about these other dudes. Just get that money and pay the bills." I advise her.
She nods like she's really listening, I can only hope she does this time. She takes over my tasks and I take a quick ten-minute break.
I go sit outside on the resting-bench and get on my phone, replying to a few messages. Soon my phone dings with Harry's number.
Tarzan-Wannabe: Hello Bree. x
Me: who said u could call me that??
Tarzan-Wannabe: My brain. (: x
Me: that was the lamest comeback...
Tarzan-Wannabe: Aubrey, your words hurt babe.
Me: 'babe' boooy if you don't
Tarzan-Wannabe: If I don't exactly... what?
Me : goodbye.
Tarzan-Wannabe: wait, on a serious note how come you never said goodbye? I didn't really like that.
Me : well, I wasn't born to please you, bye Harry.
I turn my phone off and head back inside when suddenly I'm jerked back. My blood freezes and for a second I begin to think it's him and that my nightmares will become true again. I hold my breath and slowly turn around.
My eyes widen as I see who it is. What is he doing back here?
