Lydia’s POV
We were eating lunch now.
“Are you serious?! You can’t be, honestly!” Liam exclaims throwing a fry at Louis.
“Sorry Liam, not everyone is obsessed with Jesse.” Louis leans back with his burger in hand. We had stopped at McDonalds –it was Louis’ idea okay!- and we were eating in the back in the manager’s conference room because some people spotted us.
“But she has red hair! And she’s a cowgirl!” Liam defends his point of view.
They were currently fighting about the characters from all three Toy Story’s. It was terribly funny really. I was sitting in the booth with Liam next to me on one side and Niall on the other side. Across from me was Harry, across from Liam was Louis and across from Niall was Zayn.
“Do I have to repeat myself, I don’t like-”
“I don’t like Toy Story.” I say looking down at my chicken nuggets, the table is silent and I can feel everyone’s eyes on me.
“What did you just say?” Liam questions in a dangerous voice.
“Hey I can have my own opinions you know! I don’t have to like or go along with what everybody else is going with!” I counter defending myself.
“Fine, I guess you’re right.” Liam mutters eating some of his fries.
“Hey! Why didn’t you blow up at her like you did to me?” Louis asks.
“Because she made a valid point.”
“I said the same thing but in different words!” Louis groans in an annoyed fashion.
“Whatever.” Liam mumbles eating some more. The table is silent as I look around. Everyone is too enthralled in their meals to even notice this action I’m doing.
Everyone except Harry.
He and I locked eyes and I smiled at him and he smiled back. I looked down at my food hiding my face and he laughed from across the table. Everyone then looked at him, a bit confused.
“What?” Niall questioned him.
“Oh, nothing. Are you guys ready to go now?” Harry asks he group looking at each of us for answers, his eyes pausing on me longer. I shrug my shoulders at him.
“Sure, it’s getting late anyways.” I say checking the time on my phone. “Holy crap its 5 o’clock!”
“So?” Zayn says picking at his fries.
“I told Ryan I was going to go to dinner with him!” I say collecting my stuff to throw away.
“Okay, so what time are you going out?” Niall asks before burping loudly.
“Around seven-ish…” I trail thinking of the time he said.
“Well let’s go then!” Liam says getting up. We all stand, stretch, and throw our things away before walking to the door.
We walk through the hall and quickly slip out a back door since we heard the boys’ names being shouted. We ran quickly over to the car and I quickly dove in the front seat as the rest of the boys slipped in their places.
“Aw no fair!” I heard Louis shout from the other side of my passenger side door.
“I was first so…” I stuck my tongue out childishly at him and he smirked at me looking beyond my head.
“I would be careful where you put that tongue.” I heard the lovely voice of Harry Styles. I turned and saw him fastening his seat belt in the driver’s seat. “You might not know where it’d end up next.” He winks at me and then starts the car. We pull out of the food place and we are soon on our way back home….or where I live…
The drive was almost silent except for Louis and Niall laughing for no reason at random points. They were such an odd bunch.
Harry pulled the car up a driveway and I frowned, “You’re going to make me walk all the way back? Do you know how far that is?”
“No, I’m dropping off the boys then I’m driving you.” he answers with an amused look on his face. As he said this the boys climbed out of the car laughing like crazies. “Is that alright with you?” he asks leaning in closer. I blush leaning back in my seat.
“Yeah I guess.” I say fiddling with my fingers.
“That’s good then.” He starts the car back up and pulls out going down the road some more.
I don’t know what to say to him.
What am I supposed to say to him? ‘Hey! You’re a great kisser and you make me feel amazing inside every time we touch and you say my name. You make me feel funny inside and I’m so confused because we just met and you’re famous and I’m this girl with crazy mermaid powers and I just don’t know how we’re going to work. What are we now? Boyfriend-girlfriend? Friends with benefits? I would hate to not see you again because no one else has ever made me feel like how you make me feel. Do I make you feel like that?’
Yeah, no.
“Here we are.” Harry’s words snap me out of my thoughts. I look up and see Ryan’s house there. “Shall I help you with the bags or are you going to try to prove to me that you can handle it all by yourself?”
“How about you help me.” I say unbuckling and slipping out. Harry mirrors my movements and meets me in back where we unload the bags. “Hey watch it.” I joke when he bumps hips with me.
He looks down at me, a playful smirk on his face, and does it again. I gasp and bump him back. He lets out a glorious laugh and bumps me while turning me so I’m stuck between the car and him. He presses his hips to mine and I widen my eyes at him. He raises his hands and I see an evil glint in his eyes.
“Don’t you dar-” but I’m too late.
He starts tickling me like no tomorrow.
“HARRY!!” I shriek trying to squirm away. His laughter fills my ears and I can’t help a smile that escapes me. “HARRY!! Stop it!!!” I scold trying to push him away but he was too strong for me, I liked that.
“I’ll stop when….” He thinks about as his fingers still poke out at my stomach.
“When what?!” I hold in the high pitched shriek that wanted to be heard.
“When you agree to go out with me again. Soon too.” He smirks down at me. His fingers stop grazing my skin and I’m left breathless. Harry –still pressed up against me- leans in closer and closer…..and closer….
Come on just a bit closer!!
“Lydia?”
I look over as blush runs to my face. Oh god. Ryan.
“Hey Ryan.” I say happily. Well, it was a bit forced since I’m embarrassed as hell.
“What’re you two doing behind the car?” he asks with his arms crossed over his chest. His blue eyes are set in a glare on Harry. Harry immediately backs off of me –taking his warmth with him- and shoves his hands in his pants pockets.
“Just taking out the bags.” I answer grabbing out a few.
“That was a weird way of taking out the bags.” Ryan mumbles looking from me to Harry over and over again.
“Hey we were just fooling around so relax Ry.” I say nudging Harry to help me. Harry snaps awake and grabs about a dozen which kind of freaks me out. “You know you can make two trips right?” I ask taking only about four myself.
“Yeah I know but this is much easier.” Harry smirks. I look over at Ryan to see him still standing there with a small look of disapproval on his face.
That hurt.
I have never seen that look pointed at me before.
“Come on Harry.” I say walking ahead with my head facing the floor. My brown locks fall around my face and it hides the hurt look I’m wearing. I hear Harry’s footsteps then a car door closing. I guess we took them all.
I walk into the house and we make our way slowly up the stairs. Harry doesn’t seem to really mind the load of bags he’s carrying but I do. Why would he do that? Was he trying to make himself look manlier?! Crazy boy.
I walk to my door and open it. I sigh in relief when I see that it is the same clean room I left it in. no dirty clothes anywhere in sight.
“You can just put them-” I start to say where he should put his load but he drops them right where he was by the door. “There is fine too.” I say jokingly as I set the ones I was carrying by my drawers of clothes.
“Well then I guess I should be going.” Harry say smiling up at me.
“Or you could stay…if you want…” I say blushing while facing my open balcony doors.
“And do what?’ he asks walking over the pile of bags to me.
“Well I am going somewhere fancy tonight with Ryan so you can pick out what I can where.” I say thinking while turning back to look at the many different shopping bags that lay across the ground.
“Really?” Harry asks fro0m his spot a few feet away from me. “No girl has ever allowed me to dress them.” Harry smirks evilly at me.
“Harry I swear you better not dress me like a clown.” I say pointing at him with my index finger.
“No promises there.” He winks while walking to a bag.
“Let me organize the stuff then we’ll decide.” I say taking some stuff out of the bags and putting them away. Harry nods and takes everything out of the bags being gentle and careful with them as if they were special.
After about ten minutes I nod at Harry and I sit down on my made bed. I criss cross my legs as Harry walks over to the large closet where most of the clothes are except for pants, skirts, and some other things.
He takes about another ten minutes raking through both new and old clothes I stored in there. Every minute he takes a dress out stares at it, looks at me, and then puts it away.
“Harry…anything?” I ask.
“No, nothing that I want you to wear at least.” He says putting away a red dress that Zayn and Harry fawned over when I tried it on.
“What about-”
“This one.” Harry says in a deep voice. I look up and see him holding a bright blue dress that has some sort of lace covering it in an identical blue.
“Sure. Shall I try it on?” I ask.
“Yes.” He says all too quickly. I smirk at him and I see a deep red blush run over his face, up his neck.
“Is The Harry Styles blushing because of what I said?” I question him taking the dress. As I was about to turn his arm slides around my waist and he pulls me to him. His lips right next to my ear.
“I will always blush because of you and you only.”
We stay still for as long as we can. His arm doesn’t budge, his lips don’t caress my skin but one thing changes. My heart rate.
It’s flying through the roof.
“Harry?” I question him.
“Hmm?” he hums back to me, his chest vibrating against my skin.
“What am I to you?” I ask.
Oh god this was it. This was the moment I’ve been waiting for. What would he say? Would he get afraid and leave me? Would he hate me? What would happen? Oh god why am I internally hyperventilating?!
“Everything.”
I breathe out.
Aww, cue the swooning.
