It was already 11:00 PM and we were still laughing hard or sharing stories. I loved Harry’s family so much and I know it’s really crazy of me to love or even trust anyone in just a small period of time, but that’s my personality I guess. I am a person who trusts people quickly, like my friends; Sarah, Melina and Steph. I told them how much I loved Harry on the first day I met them, but that was because they were really sweet and kind to me, they even helped me. They proved they’re worth this trust because they haven’t told anyone about my love for Harry and they even help me with a lot of things.
I was at the door saying my goodbyes as it was getting really late and I needed to wake up early and study as I am really missing a lot of lessons and I need to finish my Biology project before going to work.
“It was really great meeting you, Beth. We had such an amazing time with you, hope to see you soon.” Anne, Harry’s mother, said as she hugged me.
“It’s such a pleasure spending time with you too Mrs- I mean Anne and I really did enjoy too.” I said. Gemma hugged me then and told me how great it is to see me.
“I think you need a lift, huh?” Harry said.
“Oh, no, its fine, I’ll just get a cab or walk.” I said back. He raised his eyebrows at me then wore his jacket and handed me mine.
“I don’t take “no” as an answer.” He said while smirking. He opened the door and gestured for me to get out before him.
“Thanks.” I said as he closed the door behind him. He shrugged to let me know that it’s nothing, but to me, it was a big thing.
We got in Harry’s huge car and buckled up. Harry started the engine and we drove away. The ride home was silent, Harry tapping his fingers on the steering wheel and I, looking outside the window and glancing at Harry often. We finally arrived in front of my apartment and Harry parked his car. I unbuckled my seat belt and looked at him.
“Thank you again, Harry. I had so much fun. See you soon, I guess.” I said awkwardly and he smiled to me. I guess that was his response so I reached the door handle and was about to turn it in order to open the door, but I was stopped by Harry’s hand on my wrist.
I turned and looked at him.
“Um, well there’s a party tomorrow in my place. It’s for my birthday so; will you be able to come?” He said and he rolled his eyes while he said it was because of his birthday which caused me to giggle.
“Yeah, that would be awesome.” I smiled and he did too. I remembered I had so many plans tomorrow. “What time is it?” I curiously asked.
“Eight I guess.” Evening or Morning? “Evening.” He answered as if he had read my thoughts. I guess I’ll just wake up early and finish all of my studies before my shift.
“Well, see you at eight tomorrow then.”
“Annabeth, I just want to tell you how sorry I am for what my Dad said and I-” He started.
“Harry, it’s really nothing. He probably didn’t mean saying it this way, though.” I tried to convince him, but mostly me. “Everything’s fine.”
He smiled showing those cute dimples I adore about him. “Great, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow.” I said again and climbed out of the car. I turned and waved at him as he drove off. I smiled to myself knowing that I, Annabeth Chase, am invited to go to the Harry Styles’ birthday party. I never in a million years imagined going to any of his parties, I never even imagined talking to him. Things can change, I suppose.
[Next Day]
I talked to Barbara, my boss, about leaving early today because I needed to get some things. Luckily, she accepted and I got to meet Sarah in the mall to buy some clothes to wear at today’s party. On the phone, I told her about how Harry invited me to his party and she was happier than ever. Sarah, in contrast to Melina, is indeed very happy about the progress happening between Harry and me. She keeps saying how much she’s happy for me and that she hopes everything works out. I feel better talking to Sarah about Harry than talking to Melina, but to be honest Melina has got a very convincing point. If what she’s saying is true, then Harry is a terrible person. I don’t know why I am still seeing Harry after everything she’s said, but I guess sometimes in life, you have to take the risks.
I was already outside the mall waiting for Sarah until she finally came. We hugged then started shopping for clothes to wear to Harry’s party. She and the girls are also coming to the party as they were his best friends’ girlfriends or as to what Sarah said; they are very important people.
We entered every classy store we saw and kept trying on different kinds of clothes. Sarah wore a pink, furry scarf and a matching hat and she looked hilarious in them. I tried on a baggy trouser and told her that it was too comfy that I might consider wearing it and that’s when she laughed out loud at how I looked causing the whole store to glare at her. We finally found the perfect outfits for us. I found myself a short black dress which had no straps and a matching black necklace as an accessory. I decided to wear my black heels to complete the outfit, while Sarah found herself a cute, baby blue dress which hangs below her knees by some inches and had a white ribbon tied around its waist. She looked gorgeous. I told her to borrow my white heels and she accepted.
After what seemed like forever, we finally went home to work on our Biology project together while eating KFC and hopefully, we finished it. It was already 6:30 PM when we finished and we decided to get ready.
“Annabeth are you ready?” Sarah called from the living room. It really did take so long to wear this dress and I struggled to zip it up. I put on my red lipstick and added some mascara to my lashes. I stared at myself in the mirror and was pleased with the reflection.
“One minute!” I yelled. I put on my heels before grabbing my Mom’s red purse and placing my phone, money and some other essentials in it.
I got out and gasped when I saw Sarah, she was really beautiful in that dress with her straightened hair. She smiled at me.
“You look really good!” We both said at the same time which caused us to laugh. We finally stopped and Sarah grabbed her buzzing phone.
“It’s Zayn, he says he’s here. C’mon.” She said as she grabbed her purse and rushed to the door. I followed her and we both rode the elevator down.
We saw Zayn’s car parked in front of the building and he was standing, leaning over it with a big bouquet of white flowers.
He approached us with a huge grin on his face. I looked over at Sarah and found her doing the same. Their eyes flashed with admiration for each other and I envied them. He reached her and gave her the bouquet.
“That’s for you and I must say, you look absolutely gorgeous.” He said while eyeing her up and down.
“Awwh, thank you so much, babe. The flowers are so beautiful. You look handsome yourself.” She said and he kissed her. I awkwardly looked away and hoped to disappear. I hate standing there being a third wheel. They eventually backed away and Zayn shot me a smile.
“Hi, Beth.” He said while extending his hand. I shook it and flashed him a smile.
“Hey there, Zayn. Nice to meet you.”
We finally got in the car, me in the backseat and Sarah beside Zayn who’s driving. They kept holding hands the whole way and I smiled at how much they love each other. Zayn seems to be head over heals for Sarah and she seems the same. It was amazing seeing love with my own eyes, knowing one day I will have one like it… I will try to at least.
(Guys, I'm sorry that it took me so long to update! I am also sorry that this is so short and meaningless but I guess it's what they call a filler chapter? Anyway, big things coming up, stay tuned, lol!)
