#shayeface

She calls me at random times.

She leaves creepy voicemails.

We are in love.

She's my best friend.

                I stood facing the Golden Gate Bridge taking in the beauty of it.  I had seen it enough, living in San Francisco, but it always seemed to get more stunning every time. 

                “Shaye!” I jumped at my name and turned to see my friend glaring at me.

                “What?” I asked innocently, although I knew perfectly well she was about to chastise for not listening to her drown on about her new boyfriend.  I zoned out again as she launched into why he had blown her off today.  Penny and I lived at the same dorm at SFSU and we had hit it off right away.  She had the same interests as me and my roommate. And when I say interest, I mean One Direction.

                One Direction.

                One motherflipping Direction.

                ONE DIRECTION.

                If you aren’t freaking out about them as I am, then just get out.  Because they are just so, just so, well you know, absolutely perfect in every way possible way.

                I groaned.  She was still talking about her boyfriend, although now she was talking about all the ways he could be more like Harry.  How he should call her babe more and have a British accent.  I didn’t point out that he couldn’t just a have a British accent unless he was faking it.

                We eventually took a trolley back to campus, and I found myself staring at the crazy hills of San Francisco.  That’s when I heard it.

                “And then I told her yes because I didn’t want her to go home crying.  Although I wonder how she’ll feel on the night of prom when I don’t show up at the door with a corsage.” 

                The voice behind me was British.  And sounded an awful lot like Harry Styles from One Direction.  I held myself very still, praying that Penny wouldn’t notice.  But it was too late.  She had pounced.

                “HARRY STYLES?!” I peeked out from under my eyelashes and I turned my head to see his look of horror.  He smiled weakly as Penny gaped and reached for his hand.  But she was stopped immediately by Paul.

                “It’s fine Paul.” He said tiredly and slipped his fingers into hers smiling, “What’s your name?”

                “Penny Jenkins, it’s so wonderful to meet you-“  She continued on and I laughed dryly next to her.  I hadn’t noticed Harry looking at me.

                “Are you a One Direction fan too?”  Harry asked me, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement, although there were dark circles under his eyes.

                “Yeah I am, I’m Shaye.” I held my hand out to shake it and he peeled his away from Penny to take mine and kiss my knuckles.  I’m pretty sure my heart stopped beating when I felt his warm lips touch me and his hair tickle the back of my hand.

               “Pleasure to meet you.” 

               “Pleasure’s all mine,” I said with a bright smile.  If you had told me 24 hours ago that I would be flirting with Harry Styles in a trolley I would have laughed in your face and said don’t joke with me.

                “So, what are you doing in San Francisco?”  Penny asked, pulling the attention back to her.   He took his hand back and leaned forward towards us, “Me and the boys are here for an ocean side photo shoot, I was just exploring the city by way of trolley.” 

                “Where are the rest of the boys?”  Penny asked excitedly and I wanted to slap her on the side of the head for being so blunt, but that question had been in my mind too.

                “Ahh, well Niall is at the next stop, we’re getting him from the hotel and the others are meeting us there.   I guess there was some problem with hair gel that had Zayn all up in a twist.”

                I found myself swooning at the thought out Niall.  Don’t get me wrong, Harry was a sexy beast.  But next to Niall’s innocent, beautiful blue eyes, he was just another school boy to me.

                “Oh there he is.”  Harry waved as I felt the trolley come to a stop, and I braced myself for the most stunning face on planet earth.
