NOT EDITED*
Skylar’s POV
Right now I’m sitting on Louis’ bed while he’s looking for a pair of clean sweatpants for me to wear. He has already given me three pairs but they were all dirty, and I was not going to settle for anything less than clean.
While I was watching him look for something for me to put on I was thinking over about the horrible plan that me and Zayn had put together. That plan completely backfired. In the end I didn’t get confirmation on what he feels about me and Zayn didn’t really get the satisfaction of watching Harry feel betrayed and hurt like he had when Harry was with his ex girlfriend. Instead he got punched in the face.
“Here just take these,” Louis yelled throwing a pair of dark green sweats at me. They weren’t the most appealing pants ever but I had to settle with something. “They’re an old pair, definitely clean. I haven’t worn those in ages.”
“Hmm I wonder why?” I said making him laugh. “Now turn around!” I yelled and he just raised an eyebrow at me.
“Oh come on they’re a pair of pants, I am not turning around so you can slip them on,” He answered shaking his head.
“Still, it’s weird! It’s also kind of awkward on my part,”
“Like I haven’t seen you in your underwear before, hence all the times I helped you change when you dragged me shopping with you?”
“That was different! They were dresses and I couldn’t get them off because you gave me way to small of sizes!” I complained.
He was laughing, obviously he remembered all those times he forced me into dresses that didn’t fit. I looked like a cow trying to put on size zero dresses, I couldn’t breathe in them, and getting them off was almost impossible to do by myself.
“Fine fine,” Louis said throwing his hands in the air, “but still I think that this is pointless,” He said as he rolled his eyes and turned around.
“Ok, I’m done,” I said the moment that he was fully turned.
“Wow, see how pointless is was for me to turn around, it took you half a second,”
“Whatever,” I said sticking my tongue out at him.
“So what was all the commotion going on when I wasn’t here, I see the lovely couple was having their first fight?” Louis teased poking my sides.
“Louis we aren’t a couple,” I said sternly.
“Alright, alright, so what were you guys arguing about? I heard yelling when I was walking towards the flat,”
“Erm... It’s kind of a long story.”
“We have time,”
“Well uhm, I guess you could say that last night Zayn was really upset with Harry and uh...so was I.”
Lou had a childish grin on his face; he nodded telling me to go on.
“So Zayn suggested that we get him back, he told me that Harry ‘obviously’ liked me and he would get mad if he finds out that we did anything. So we made it look like we has sex... but we didn’t, obviously. Zayn said if Harry really liked me he would get angry and jealous, and Zayn would get back at Harry for spending the whole time with his ex. Long story short, the plan didn’t really go as planned and Harry ended up punching Zayn and getting angry with me for ‘sleeping with Zayn’ but then I told him we didn’t then he just apologized.”
“Wow,” Louis said looking surprised.
“You went through all that to see if Harry likes you or not? Why can’t you just take my word for it and Zayn’s as well? We both told you that he does!”
“Well I don’t know. Maybe you guys don’t really know,” I said biting my lip.
“Trust me Sky, I wouldn’t lie to you,” He said giving me a reassuring smile.
“Still, the plan didn’t really workout because Harry said that he was mad because I ‘slept with Zayn, his best friend’ and I was like what does it matter to you, and he was like, how do you think I’m supposed to act blah, blah and Blah.” I said rolling my eyes.
“That wasn’t really the answer I was looking for from him,” I concluded looking at Louis.
“Well what did you expect him to say, did you think that he would just admit his feelings for you, he probably thought that you liked Zayn and he didn’t want to embarrass himself.”
“Yah that’s probably it,” I said sarcastically
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll encourage him to make some moves and take you out or something,” Louis said trying to make me not feel so bad.
“Well he’s taking me to dinner tonight,” I mumbled. I only mumbled because I knew he was going to freak out.
“REALLY, why didn’t you tell me?!” He yelled happily.
“I didn’t tell you because it’s not a big deal,”
“What do you mean it’s not a big deal? It’s a huge deal! It’s the beginning of a wonderful relationship!” Lou yelled fluttering his eyes and smiling.
“It’s not even a date, he said it’s so he could show me that he was serious when he said he was sorry for accusing me.”
“Well just pretend this is a date, have fun, flirt lots, and maybe he might start asking to go out with you more often,”
“I don’t know. I’ll try; I’m not really good with this stuff”
“Oh come one, I’m sure you’ll do fine. And if you would just believe me when I tell you that he likes you already, you would understand that you won’t need to try so hard tonight because he likes you for you,”
“Aw thanks Lou, you’re so sweet, now take me home.” I said blankly.
“Ouch that hurts, you don’t want to stay and hang out with me?” Lou said with a fake hurt expression.
“Not really,” I said jokefully.
“Well too bad, I called Simon and already told him you were staying with me for most of the day, and now that I know that you have plans for tonight, I am going to take you out so we can buy you something to wear,” Lou said as he stood up and grabbed his car keys off his bed side table.
“Lou, look at what I’m wearing! I cannot go out in public like this!” I yelled not willing to embarrass myself.
“Hence the point of buying you an outfit?”
“I swear to god if there are paparazzi stalking you today and there’s pictures of me looking like a hobo I will murder you,” I threatened as we both walked out his bedroom door.
“You wouldn’t kill a fly,” He said laughing.
“Pfft, I kill flies all the time.”
We drove all the way down to the mall and Louis was disguised behind sunglasses and a hoodie.
It was a shitty disguise to be honest. I would be able to recognise him easily.
The first place we went to was Forever 21, and Louis bought me a pair of jeans and a tank top so I wouldn’t have to walk around in Zayn’s shirt and Louis’ sweat pants.
We stayed in Forever 21 and looked for something for me to wear tonight.
“So what do you want to wear tonight?” Louis asked.
“Probably just a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.” I said looking at the sale rack. I hate it when Louis takes me shopping because he always shops without looking at the price tag, and personally I don’t like it when he buys me things.
“How about you wear a dress?”
“How about I wear jeans and a t-shirt?”
“How about no?”
“Come on Lou! We aren’t going anywhere fancy, at least I doubt it.” I mumbled.
“How about we go with a skirt and a shirt?” He suggested.
“Fine,” I said giving in.
After about five minutes of looking around Louis passed me 3 pairs of skirts, each a different colour and 3 different tops.
He followed me to the change rooms.
The first thing I put on was a pink skirt and a white fitted top. First of all the skirt just covered my butt and it made me look like a hooker. Don’t even get me started with the shirt; the shirt has built in push up bra that made my boobs practically fall out. This outfit was also kind of hard to put on because it was so tight.
“I am not coming out,” I yelled at Louis
“Oh come on I won’t say anything bad I promise!”
“Why would you even take this off the rack, I look like a whore!”
“Just come out please?” he begged.
I opened the door and walked out and I could tell he was trying to hold in a laugh.
“Very nice, Harry would love this,” He said as he took my hand and spun me around looking at the entire outfit. He gave me an approving look.
“I’m sure he would,” I said while laughing. “But too bad it doesn’t fit!”
“It fits perfectly,”
“Oh please, look my boobs are practically out of my shirt and my butt is barely covered,”
“That’s just the style, duh?”
“I’m so sure of it; I’m changing now before I get raped for looking like this.” I said as I walked into the change room and ripped the clothes off of me.
I was going to try on the blue skirt with the hideous green top, but who am I kidding? They weren’t the most appealing thing to wear so why bother? I tried on the black pencil skirt; it was well fitted and didn’t make my but look ridiculous and the pink shirt was simple yet cute.
“How’s this?” I asked as I walked out of the change room.
“That’s good, it’s nice.” He said. “But I like the other one better,” He said jokefully.
“Too bad, we’re getting this and no more shopping.”
“Alright, alright,” Lou said throwing his hands in the air. He then shuffled me back into the change room.
I quickly changed out of the clothes and put on my outfit and made my way to the cashier were Louis was waiting for me.
“Just these,” I said placing my clothes on the counter.
The lady scanned the items “That will be 120 please,”
My eyes widened. Louis was taking out some cash from his wallet but I couldn’t let him spend that much on me, it wasn’t worth it.
“Actually we aren’t going to buy this,” I said taking the cash off the counter and handing it back to Louis.
“No... It’s alright, I got it.” Lou said putting the money back on the counter. The cashier wasn’t sure what to do; you could tell she was hesitant to take the money.
“Louis that’s too much money,” I whispered into his ear but he just shook his head.
The cashier gave Louis his change back and we were out of the store.
“Louis, are you crazy?”
“Nope” he said popping the “p”.
“That’s insane! Did you have to go and find the most expensive piece of clothing in that store?!” I said as we walked towards the exit of the mall.
“Sky, if you can’t remember, money isn’t really something I have to worry about nowadays. And spending a little over a hundred wont drown me in debt I promise,” He said trying to reassure me.
“Still I don’t like it when you spend money on me.” I said crossing my hands over my chest.
“I can live with that,” He said winking at me.
“Whatever, thanks for buying me stuff today.” I mumbled as we got in the car.
“My pleasure,” He said smiling at me as he started to drive back to his flat.
While we were sitting and listening to music, Louis lowered the volume and decided to start conversation.
“So you excited for tonight?” He asked wiggling his eyebrows at me.
“Uhm not really,” I mumbled. I wasn’t completely lying but I wasn’t completely telling the truth. It’s not that I wasn’t excited it was just that I didn’t want this to be an apologetic dinner; I wanted to be a date. And sometimes you don’t get what you want and I keep getting my hopes up trying to convince myself that Harry just might like me too.
“Why not,” Louis asked surprised.
“Erm... I guess it’s because it’s uh... meaningless?” I said hesitantly
“Trust me Sky, it’s not meaningless!” He said trying to reassure me.
“Well I don’t believe it ok? I have zero proof that he likes me!”
“Well I would tell you again that he already likes you but since you won’t take my word for it how about you look at the signs he gives out. Sometimes he does the most obvious things and you oblivious to it all.”
“What do you mean?” I asked raising an eyebrow.
“Just look at what he does of what he says. He’ll make gestures that scream ‘I like you’ but you never notice! If you look for it this time maybe you’ll see what everyone else see’s.”
I nodded and was about to say something until he interrupted and continued.
“Like when he’s nervous he will start tapping his fingers on the table and sometime he taps his feet when he doesn’t want people to notice,”
“Mhm,” I said taking note of that.
“Just take in everything he does and maybe you’ll start to notice,” he said pulling up to his flat.
“Alright I’ll do that, and I’ll tell you about it later”
I hopped out of the car and made my way straight to his flat while Louis stayed behind. He remembered that he needed to do some grocery shopping and I didn’t really want to go, so he let me just stay here while he takes off. He said he’d be back soon.
I walked into his flat and it didn’t seem like anyone was home. So I made way straight to the fridge. I didn’t realise how hungry I was till now. Thankfully the fridge here wasn’t empty compared to Zayn’s fridge.
I grabbed a box of what seemed like left over take-out Chinese food, which personally is one of my favourites. I know this isn’t really breakfast material but hey, it’s actually almost 3, I haven’t eaten all day, so this will have to do.
I took the box and a fork down to the living room. I sat down and looked for something interesting for me to watch. I flipped through channels until I got to the movie channel.
I looked through all the movies and Marley and me was playing. I’ve never watched it and it looked cute so I decided to watch it.
I curled up in a ball and started to finish my box of Chinese food.
For the first 15 minutes of the movie it was cute and I was really enjoying it. Then the door opened and I moved my gaze from the TV. I thought it would be Louis but it was Harry.
“Hey,” he said as he walked in.
“Hey,” I said a little awkwardly.
“What are you up to?”
“Just watching a movie, wanna watch it with me?”
“Yah sure,” He said a smile creeping at the corner of his mouth. He sat down next to me on the couch.
The second he sat down we both ended up shuffling around so we were somewhat closer to each other.
I guess I should start taking notes at the ‘signs’ Harry gives out.
As the movie went on Harry managed to move his arm so it was around my waist. He pulled me a tad bit closer to him and I relaxed my head on his shoulder.
When it came near the end of the movie I could feel myself wanting to ball my eyes out! I can’t handle watching dogs die, it’s sad.
As I tried not to cry the tears still spilt out of my eyes. They just kept falling and falling and I couldn’t help but let out a tiny sob. It was sad! You can’t blame me!
I buried my face in my hands trying not to show Harry I was crying. I didn’t want him to think I cry over everything
I moved my hands from my face and at that moment I felt Harry’s hand on my cheek, and his thumb wiped away my tears. The spot where he touched my face was burning, in a good way. A way that made me wants his touch even more. I couldn’t help but shudder at his feeling. I felt my heart racing as I looked up to his beautiful green orbs.
I caught myself getting lost in his eyes and I immediately started to lean in and from what I see I think he was leaning in too. But the second I realised that I was leaning in, I stopped myself and quickly moved back and let out a fake cough. Hopefully he didn’t notice what was going on.
I bit my bottom lip and looked at my lap.
“It’s ok to cry, it’s a sad movie,” Harry said letting out a long breathe.
“Yah I’m not really good with watching dogs die,”
He smiled, “Same, I can watch a movie and see 20 people getting shot and would have a hard time crying, but I still would tear up easily watching 1 dog die,” he said laughing silently.
“Yah I know what you mean,” I said smiling up at him.
“So uh, you want to go and get dinner now?”
“Yah let me just get changed and fix myself up.” I said getting up off the couch.
I walked into Louis room and shut the door. I let out a long breathe that I didn’t know I was holding in.
I guess that was a sign that Harry might like me. If he really did lean in earlier than maybe it was true. But who am I kidding? I’m probably just having hallucinations or something. He wouldn’t like me as more than a friend.
There are so many pretty girls out there, why would he choose me?
But wait- he hasn’t chosen me and he won’t.
I’m just another girl in his life.
Soon enough I’ll just be a memory to him.
I’ll be nothing more and nothing less.
He doesn’t like me because he see has seen thousands of girls and I’m ugly compared to half of them.
He taking me to dinner is just a friendly gesture.
He’s doing it because he’s sorry he ‘hurt my feelings’
He will never see me as anything more than a friend.
I don’t understand why I have all these thoughts in my head. Those thoughts are probably what are continuing to make me not believe Louis when he tells me that Harry likes me. In my head, it’s almost impossible.
I quickly shook those thoughts out of my head and changed. I slipped on a pair of black heals and walked out the room and towards Harry. He was standing by the door holding his car keys and once he saw me he smiled.
“Wow, you look very beautiful,” he said, now with a big smile.
I’m almost positive that my face was completely red so I gave him a smile and mumbled “thanks” and looked towards the ground.
That could count as a sign right? Right.
Harry drove us to this fancy restaurant; it was famous for its steak and mashed potatoes.
“After you,” He said winking at me as he held the door open.
I couldn’t help but laugh a bit while I walked through the door.
I immediately smelt delicious food and as if on cue my stomach grumbled.
“You know McDonalds would have been perfectly fine,” I said looking at Harry.
“Trust me I think this place is a bit better,” he replied smiling down at me.
“If you insist,” I said as the waiter came up to us.
“Table for 2 please,” Harry said to the cute waiter.
“Right this way.”
We followed him to the back of the restaurant and were placed by a window that showed the view of a forest that was outside the restaurant.
As we both sat at the table I couldn’t help but notice him starting to tap his feet. So maybe he was nervous, another good sign I say?
“You know you didn’t have to do this,” I said.
“No I had to, I want you to know that I was serious when I said that I was sorry, what I did was way worse anyways, so just to let you know once again, I’m sorry” He said hastily.
“It’s alright Harry,” I said smiling at him. “If you can’t remember, I already forgave you”
“I know but I just don’t feel like I deserved to be forgiven so easily, what I said was rude and it wasn’t called for,”
“Harry it’s not all your fault, I guess I would have been suspicious too if I saw what you saw,” I mumbled. I felt bad that I made him feel so sorry. Zayn and I should never have set that plan up, it was completely ridiculous.
“Yah I-”
“Oh-My-God Harry is that you!” I heard a girl squeak as she ran up to our table. She was wearing a tight dark blue dress, it was short and her boobs were practically hanging out. Her long brown hair was curled down her back and she was extremely pretty.
“V-veronica?” Harry stuttered by surprise.
“Yes you goon! Now come give me a hug!” She yelled has she pulled Harry up from his chair and as she pushed her body against his and wrapped her arms around him.
The amount of jealousy I had was indescribable.
“I missed you so much!” She squealed looking in his eyes.
“Erm... Yah, I guess the feelings uh, mutual” Harry said hesitantly.
I couldn’t help but fake cough to get their attention. Like here I am sitting here watching Harry and another girl hug, I can’t help but want them to stop. The least she could do is acknowledge that he was here with me.
“Oh I’m sorry who are you?” She said rudely to me.
“I’m-”
“She’s my friend, and I should really get back to her, it was uhm... nice seeing you again” Harry said.
“We’ll keep in touch,” She winked at him and walked away.
Friend... right, that’s what I am.
“Uh sorry about that, I didn’t know that she would be here.” Harry said as he sat down.
“No it’s alright, who was she anyways?”
“She’s uhm my ex girlfriend from a long time ago,” he said as he was scanning through the menu. I could tell this wasn’t a topic he wanted to talk about. Because now he was nervous, I could tell by the way he started tapping his feet on the ground.
Maybe he still liked her and that’s why he was nervous. Maybe when he saw her again he realized he wasn’t over her and I was in the way.
“Oh,” was all I managed to say.
“Are you ready to order?” The waiter asked.
The rest of the night we ended up having a lot of fun. We both ordered our food –which was delicious- and I kept picking out possible signs that Harry gave out. There was one sign though that he mentioned a couple times that keeps making me forget every sign that could possibly mean he liked me.
He kept saying things like
“You’re a great friend,”
Or
“I value our friendship.”
Well maybe not those words exactly, but they were pretty damn close. I guess you could say every time he mentioned me as being a friend I had this hurt feeling in the pit of my stomach.
We were sitting in his car listening to the radio when he said;
“Do you wanna go get ice cream?”
I couldn’t help but smile, “I think I could go for an ice cream cone”
We pulled up to this cute little ice cream parlour. Once we walked in the sweet smell of ice cream filled my nose.
We both ordered a twist (half chocolate half vanilla ice cream) and sat down at the table.
“Mmm, this ice creams yummy” I said while licking my ice cream again.
“Actually I think it smells weird,” he said looking at his ice cream weirdly.
I went to smell my ice cream and it smelt perfectly fine. “I don’t know what you’re talking about; it’s probably just your ice cream.”
“Smell it!” He demanded as he put his ice cream towards my nose.
“Harry it smell perfectly f-” I stopped talking once harry smashed the ice cream on my nose and across my cheek.
“Harry!” I yelled as I took a napkin and started to wipe my face.
He was in a fit of laughter, but I couldn’t find a reason to be laughing right now.
“I don’t see what’s so funny!”
“Your face... It had ice cream everywhere!” He said in between his laughs.
“Very funny Styles, very funny,” I said as we walked out of the store. “I’ll get you back don’t worry.”
He smiled at me and said “I can’t wait.”
I guess today’s “date” wasn’t all so bad. But the thing is I cleared my feelings for Harry. So yes I admit. I like Harry, but he doesn’t like me and that’s the worst feeling anyone could ever have.
I did what Louis told me to do. I caught the signs. Some signs said, he liked me but some signs show that he doesn’t. Now all I have are mixed signs coming from Harry and its messing up my brain.
All I want is him to like me too.
