"You two alright?" Taylor says and intertwines with Liam.
"Yeah we're fine. " I say shaking my head from the thought of me and Liam dating.
"Good. I'm gonna steal him for a sec, Kay?" Taylor smiles pulling Liam.
"Sure Tay." I say trying not to laugh.
I think Taylor's been drinking.
"Hey come over here." Niall yells still with Megan.
"Okay." I say walking over to the couch.
I sit down awkwardly trying to not to make it as awkward as it is.
"So what was that with Harry?" Niall asks.
"Oh it was nothing." I say trying to convince him.
"We need to go." Megan says.
"Okay babe." Niall says standing up with her.
He lets go of her hand and gives me a hug.
"We'll see ya round." Niall says with his cute Irish accent.
"Goodbye." I say closing the door behind them.
"Looks like it's you and me." Louis says still in the same spot.
"I guess it us." I smile.
"So why have I never seen you before? You seem to be good friends with my buds Harry and Liam." He says.
I try to answer but looking at his tattoos distract me.
"Umm, it's hard to explain." I say shaking my head and looking down.
"What is? How you met them?" He laughs.
"No. Well Liam's been my friend since before High School." I say sitting next to him.
He sits up and adjusts himself.
"I know. But how about my lad Harry?" He laughs.
"Harry...and I met at Central Park when Liam and Taylor invited him." I spit out.
Why should I tell him? I don't even know him.
"I know the rest Stella. You don't have to repeat it." He smiles.
"You know your real charming." I sarcastically say.
"Thank you. That's what everyone says." He laughs.
"Haha okay." I say.
"Your really pretty. I'm sorry but I just had to say that." Louis says starting to get serious.
"What?" I blush.
"Pretty. You." He smiles.
"Oh thanks." I say looking away.
Things just got totally awkward. I don't like Louis even though he's super attractive.
"You know, if I were Harry... I would fight for you more." He says scooting closer to me.
"Look Louis, your a real sweet guy but I have a history of moving too fast." I spit out.
He stays silent and just stares at me.
"I don't like you in that way." I nicely say.
"No it's okay I see." He says nodding.
"I'm sorry. I've got to go." I say grabbing my purse and leaving.
"It was nice meeting you."
"Yeah. Same." He laughs uncomfortably.
I get into my car and drive off home.
I try to be as silent as I can going into the house.
It's like 1 or 2 and I'm super tired.
I said I was exhausted right after Niall and Megan came with Zayn, but that made it worse.
I get changed and go straight to bed.
HARRY'S POV
I get home after a long drive and go inside.
Why the fuck is Stella so heartless? What does she want me to do?
I get changed into my boxers and warm up my apartment.
I still smell the sexy smell of Stella.
Why do I bother even wasting my time on her if she won't budge.
I don't know though.
What Rick said was pretty brilliant to get her.
I'll just wait to see if she tries to talk to me.
I reach into my pocket and see this picture of Stella Taylor gave me.
She said that if I ever miss her, to look at it, it should help apparently.
God damn Stella. Why the hell won't you realize you drive me crazy?
I put it on my dresser and try to fall asleep.
I think I can still feel her in my bed.
STELLA'S POV
*Next Morning*
"Aleah is that you?" I ask getting up from my bed.
I hear stuff in the kitchen clink and it doesn't sound like her.
"It's me Stella." My mom says washing dishes.
"Oh hey." I say scratching my head.
"How are you? I feel like I haven't talked to you in days." My mom says shaking her head.
"I'm good. How are you? I know you were with Joseph." I laugh.
"Yeah I was." She says.
"What ever happened to meeting him anyway?" I ask curiously.
"Oh. I forgot about that. We'll have to plan another day. Probably tomorrow if he's not busy." She says.
"Okay." I say.
We stop talking and I go back to my room.
"Hey sis." Aleah says.
"What's up?"
"Want to come to run some more errands with me?" She offers.
"I'm actually going to go hang out with Liam." I say.
I hope I didn't let her down.
"Oh okay. I'll just ask Zayn to come." She smiles.
I'm glad that she can just pick up new ideas after being rejected.
I feel bad but I also do for not talking to Liam in forever.
"I'm sorry." I apologize to Aleah.
"Nah, your fine. Go have fun with Liam. He's a sweet guy." She says leaving my room.
"It's not like that but whatever." I laugh.
I go and take a shower and try to look decent. I've been feeling really out of it ever since I saw Harry...
I put on my Steve Madden tan flats with high waisted denim skinny jeans and put on a cute baby pink long sleeve blouse.
I straighten my hair so you can see my layers and apply my same makeup as always.
I also do liquid liner.
"Can you come to Taylor's house?" A text from Liam says.
"Yeah, be there in 15." I respond.
I get into my car and take off to Taylor's.
I go into Taylor's house and Liam's sitting there.
"Hey Stella. You look nice. Ready?" He asks.
"Yeah sure." I say.
We go into Liam's blue Dodge Ram and leave.
"So where are we going now?" I ask.
"We are going to go have a nice brunch." He says.
"Okay." I smile.
HARRY'S POV
"Hey Rick." I say.
"Hey man." He says waving from behind the register.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Working" he laughs.
"Your stupid." I laugh.
"So how are things with Juliet?" He laughs.
"You mean Stella? And not good. She still pushes me away." I say not laughing anymore.
"Are you gonna give up?" He asks wiping down the register.
"No. Why the hell would I give up? I love her." I say.
"I don't know. She seems like she really doesn't like you." He says.
"I know you might be right, but she has to have some sort of feelings for me." I say.
"Keep telling yourself that." Rick says.
"Why are being such a dick?" I ask him.
"I'm not. I'm just saying you might need to face it." He suggests.
"Are we still following the plan?" I ask nervously.
"Yeah. I talked to Aleah about it, your all good man." He says.
"Great man." I laugh giving him a high five.
