What?

Did he just ask me to be his girlfriend? Am I dreaming. No, this isn't real life, guys aren't attracted to me, especially guys like Harry.

I just, can't believe this. He actually likes me? I just thought I was forever friend-zoned.

My heart started to swell up and my voice threatened to quiver with excitment if I dared speak.

"Uh, Harry, I don't know what to say. I really like you, but, I don't want to get my heart broken if we don't work out...." I said. I feel like a guy like him would quickly loose interest in a messed up girl like myself. He should be going after some blond super-model.

He walked over to me, held my hand, and looked me deep in the eyes. My heart stopped beating.

"Skylar, you know I would never ever do anything to hurt you" 

I opened my mouth and tried to speak but nothing came out. I nodded my head lightly, yes, I would be my girlfriend.

He smiled, showing off his dimple, and kissed me. But this kiss wasn't like before, that was just a light peck on the lips, this one was different. It was passionate, filled with a kind of deep love people have no hope in understanding. One of his hands went behind my neck, and the other around my waist, pulling me into him. 

I had never kissed someone before, so I did what all the girls do in movies and books and tangled my fingers in his hair. 

We stood like that for a while, just kissing. Things didn't escalate. He didn't "shove me against the counter" or "start undressing me" no, he just kissed me, and that was it, and that's how I liked it. 

Finally, our lips parted and he rested his forehead against mine. He bit his lip before he kissed me one last time, this time less intense. He pulled away and looked at me.

"So, uhm, do you want to finish watching FRIENDS or something?" He asked, awkwardly.

"Uh, yeah, sure" I stammered, looking down at the ground and putting my hair behind my ear.

"Right, I'll set it up then" He said, and walked out of the kitchen.

I stood there in total shock for a moment. Did that really just happen? I leaned against the counter and tried to steady my breathing, but to no avail.

"Sky? " Harry called from the living room. 

"Yes, coming!" I said and ran out to join him.......

He was sitting down with FRIENDS all set up. I sat down next to him, and without any warning, Harry put his arm around me and pulled me into his chest. I figured, why not?, and rested my head on his shoulder. He kissed me on the head and played the show.

After the season was over, Harry shut it off. I stretched, buried my face in his chest and whined. 

"I'm tired" I said, stiffling a yawn.

"You should take a nap" He replied, rubbing my back

"I guess so" I said and stood up. He sat there and looked up at me. 

"Night, Styles" I said, and bent down and kissed him before shuffling into my room.

HARRY'S POV

As soon as I heard her door shut, I sprang up and rushed to the kitchen. I wanted to make her a special dinner to show her that I love her. I looked through every cabinet twice, but the only thing I found that I could actually cook was mac&cheese. 

"Fuck" I cursed, and threw the box on the counter. Whatever, this will have to do. I grabbed a pot and filled it with water and set it on the stove to boil. Meanwhile, I read the back of the box on how to make it. It seemed simple enough so I got busy.
