Part 23

Tuesday
Arabella's POV

"Thanks for the lift, do you maybe wanna come in?" I ask leaning against the window of his car. He nods, parking the car on the side and hopping out of the car to join me.

I then see Chloe walking towards the studio from across the road. I look down worried about what she would do when she saw me and Harry together and turn towards him.

"Um Harry." I say, causing him to look down into my eyes showing that he was listening. A simple action, but it still had the power to make my knees weaken. 

"You don't have to come in if you don't want to, I mean, I get why you wouldn't, because of Chloe and all." I say causing him to smile down at me and lace our fingers together.

"Don't worry baby. I'm here for you not Chloe." He says, causing me to blush at the new pet name.

We walk into the studio, with our hands laced together, causing Ms K to look at me smiling.

"And who might this be Bella." She says walking towards me, as we are the only ones in the room so far.

"This is Harry." I say smiling back at her, while he leans forward to shake her hand.

After talking for a few minutes, it turns out that it was only me and Chloe in the class tonight. This never happened with only two people as it was an open class for anyone to join.

"So is he your boyfriend?" Ms K says to me nudging my arm playfully, causing me to blush.

"Not boyfriend, he's my um. We're together. Actually I don't even know that." I say shrugging, causing her to chuckle.

"He seems like a keeper, don't loose him." She winks, before walking to her speaker and playing some music for the class to begin.

Soon the class was over and I told Harry that I'd be two seconds, because I had to run to Ms K's office to help her with something. I actually went to go sort out costumes for nationals, and obviously couldn't do it in front of Chloe.

I came back into the room and I stood there quietly, trying to figure out what was going on, because of course it had something to do with the fact that Chloe was standing between Harry's legs looking down at him smirking, with her hands around his neck.

I didn't really know what to do, so I stepped back and went to the bathroom, to splash my face with water. Once I was done, I made my way back to the main studio, making my presence heard by walking loudly.

As I entered the studio, I bumped into Chloe, causing her to sarcastically say 'oops' before continuing to walk out.

"Where'd ya go?" Harry asked me, causing me to realize that I was just standing in the doorway.

"I had to go sort some costume details out with Ms K in her office." I say, slightly nodding at myself before walking over to go grab my bag.

Should I just tell Harry I saw and just ask him what happened? Maybe I should just ignore it, but how can I ignore it, if I know he and Chloe had history.

"Bella?" Harry asked me and I turned towards him where he was now leaning against the doorway. I tilted my head slightly trying to figure out what he said, as I obviously didn't catch it.

"Yeah?" I asked, giving up on thinking, in order to avoid wondering into my own thoughts again.

"I asked if you're ready to go." He says flashing his beautiful smile. I nodded towards him and walked past him and out the studio straight to his car.

The drive home was silent, well at least I thought it was, because I was stuck in my own thoughts again.

Did Harry even like me, or was he just playing with me, because if he is, he's doing a good job.

I look outside the window and see that we are already inside my gate. I turn to look at Harry and see him smiling at me.

"What?" I asked slightly furrowing my eyebrows causing him to shake his head softly.

"Nothing love." He says, still grinning.

"Okay well night Haz and thanks for the lift." I say smiling at him, hopping out the car and walking through the front door.

As soon as I open the door, I see Shawn running down the stairs towards me.

"Is everything alright." I ask him, looking at him weirdly.

"Ye, is styles still there?" He asks, causing me to shrug and walk into the kitchen while Shawn runs past me and out the house.

I put my bag down and sit on the couch for a bit, scrolling through my phone. I'm guessing he caught up with Harry because he hasn't come inside yet.

Wednesday
Arabella's POV

I'm at school now and I see Tom starting to walk into school as well. I hop out the car, saying bye to Shawn before running through the main gates to meet up with Tom.

"Tonmo, I've missed you." I said pulling the handle of his bag back to that he stops. He turns around and I give him a huge hug. "I feel like we don't hang out anymore." I say pouting.

"Well that's because we don't really."

I stand there for a few seconds furrowing my eyebrows before I actually realize he's walking and I run a bit to catch up to him.

"Okay well so then let's make plans." I say walking sideways now, kinda looking like a crab. He just nods, not really speaking much.

"How about today after school, or tonight maybe?" I asked, trying to make a plan. "We could even go bowling."

"Okay fine, tonight it is." He says grinning causing me to get excited and hug him. 

"Yay I'll se ya later." I say letting go of him and walking towards my locker. I turn my head to the side to see if Harry was there, and of course he was, with the scene that's becoming oddly familiar. 

Once again Chloe is with him, holding onto his open locker while he reaches inside for something.

I slowly walk towards my own locker opening it to grab my books. I turn my head to see Chloe place a kiss on Harry's cheek. I quickly turn around, so that she didn't catch me looking and I sigh while locking my locker once it's closed.

"Hey baby." I hear Harry say while leaning down to give me a kiss on the cheek causing me to turn around.

His cologne definitely pulls me in as I get completely distracted over what just happened, and I definitely know that I have to speak to him about it.

"Hey." I say pulling my books towards me, leaning back on my locker while looking up at him.

Maybe I should say it now? Well of course I'm going to speak to him about it now, don't be ridiculous Arabella. Just kinda say it. Actually maybe don't just say it, maybe just hint at it.

"What's bothering you love?" He says snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What were you doing with Chloe?" I by mistake blurt out, causing my eyes to widen at my forwardness.

Okay so I guess I'm just asking. Well done Arabella, now you sound jealous, you guys are not together. Well now I'm embarrassed.

"What are you talking about love?" He says looking down at me confused.

"Um, yesterday with Chloe in the studio and how she was like on top of you with her hands around you and  a few moments ago when she just kissed you on your- you know never mind it's nothing, we're not even together just ignore me." I say before turning to walk away.

"Hey hey hey, hold on." He says reaching out and interlacing our fingers together pulling me back towards him, leaving my books resting in my one hand. He runs his other hand through his hair before speaking.

"Yesterday, when you went with your teacher, Chloe waited before walking up to me, she tried to make a move on me and put her hands around me to pull me closer and you must have left when I moved away and told her to stop. As of now, I'm not sure where she's trying to get or what she's trying to do, but she isn't going to get anywhere." He explained to me, looking into my eyes.

I feel so stupid it was just a kiss on the cheek; but they did have history so I was allowed to ask right?

"Hey no need to feel stupid love, I understand and of course you can ask, and I understand why you'd think that, but I think you need to start trusting me love." He says smiling gently at me causing me to nod and blush. How could I be so careless to say that out loud.

"And as of us, I actually wanted to talk to you about that." He says causing me to blush.

"I wanted to know if you would wear this to my game tonight." He says flashing his jaw dropping smile while opening his bag to reveal his team jacket, causing my eyes to widen.

"But, that means- only girlfriends wear their boyfriends jackets-" I say rambling on, looking at Harry to see him smirking down at me, slightly nodding.
