Four
I gasped and let out a small scream as I opened the door to reveal my best friend, Alyssa. She looked the same as she did the last time I saw her- which was months ago. She stood in front of me, smiling as her brace-less teeth came through. She still wore her long brown extensions, she was still the exact same. I opened my arms and took her into a much needed hug. We stood this way for a minute before we actually said something to each other. I had almost completely forgotten about her moving in with me. Before moving to the UK myself, Alyssa and I came to an agreement that we would live together as she would be coming here for work also- she was a chemist. I invited her in as my dog was still going crazy, he managed to calm down once she stepped inside.
"Holy shit, we need to decorate this place." Alyssa said before anything else, she was picky.
I invited her into the kitchen as I went to prepare the soup we were now going to share. I began to tell her about the boys, and how I had just met them.
"So, Harry asked for my number today." I gushed; she popped her head up and stared at me.
"You mean, Harry Styles?" she added emphasis on his last name. I nodded my head as I could feel my cheeks flushing into a light red.
"Don’t lie to me" she said sternly. I giggled at her disbelief
"I’m not. Here, check my phone, he even texted me" I threw my phone at he and she checked for herself.
"Oh my god" She said after investigating. I smirked at her as she glanced up at me.
"You like him don't you." she said sharply.
"He’s a nice guy- Although, I barely know him." I poured the soup into two bowls for us, and we made our way to the dining room.
We lived in a rather big home as we both invested in it. It was a beautiful home, it was open and bright. The windows were huge and the glass doors in the back faced a huge backyard with a pool, one in which I have never used. I took a seat and we began another conversation.
"So I was thinking, tomorrow I don't have work and maybe we could get that tattoo we've been wanting?" she smiled at me,
"You remember?" I nodded
"Of course I remember, we promised each other that we would get it." she laughed and agreed.
She pulled out her white iPhone and called the tattoo parlour, without hesitation, to make our appointment. It was all set. We quickly finished our food and put our bowls in the dishwasher before making our way to her car. We pulled out all of her bags and boxes before coming back inside. We walked up the stairs with her bags dragging behind us and made our way to her room. It was already set up; it now only needed to be decorated. She had a big bed with a big white head board and all white accessories- just as she had requested. Her bedroom was painted a pale purple. To the right was an en-suit painted a deep purple with white counters and bright funnel lights hanging from the ceiling. It was complimented with her window accessories which loosely hung on the windows and blew with the breeze. I put down her bags and allowed her to sort her stuff out and decorate her room. I closed her door and walked down the hall to my room. I wanted to have some fun tonight, since I moved here alone three weeks ago, I hadn't been to a club. I ran back to her room and kicked open the door just seconds after leaving.
"Clubbing tonight?" I semi shouted.
It seemed to startle her as she fell over, panting dramatically. She soon collected herself and agreed to go along with me. I shot her a quick thumbs up and went to my room to start getting ready.
I dressed in a short black dress, and put on my make-up. I made my eyes dark and dramatic, pairing it with a light red lipstick. I put my straight hair to my left shoulder. I sprayed myself with perfume, being sure that it could conceal any amount of stink I would manage to emit. Before emerging from my room I slipped on some bracelets, I finally walked out to find Alyssa coming out of her room wearing a dark red dress, falling midway up her legs. it complimented her long legs very well.
"Damn." I said as I eyed her up and down jokingly.
She did a few poses as I broke out in laughter, and she complimented my outfit once she concluded her act. I winked at her as we made our way down the stairs. I locked the back door as Alyssa made her way to her car. I walked to the front door, my heels clicking on the hard tile floor of the kitchen as I did so.
I walked out and locked the door, and ran to her passenger side. Her music was playing loud and our windows were fully down as she pulled out of the driveway and drove up the road to town. It was nearly a fifteen minute drive, but it was filled with laughter and singing from the both of us. She pulled into the parking lot of the large club and we opened our doors, slamming them in sync. She grabbed my hand so we wouldn't get separated in the crowd and made her way to the front of the line, causing a couple of dirty looks to be shot our way. We showed our ID and were instantly granted entrance.
We made our way inside and I could instantly feel the eyes on us. I peeled my jacked off my shoulders and hung it on my arm, Alyssa did the same. We weren't drinking that much tonight as one of us had to drive home; I took responsibility for driving back, leaving Alyssa to drink as much as she pleased. We walked to the bar and took a seat on the stools, I asked the bartender for a beer, as did Alyssa.
While waiting I was looking around the club when I made eye contact with someone for a split second. I quickly turned my head only to look back,
It was Harry.
I mentally cursed and turned to Alyssa to whisper in her ear.
"Don’t look- but to the right, Harry is standing there with the rest of the band." I whispered as she turned her head to look at them.
At this point they were all watching us and I felt awkward about it all. I got my beer and got talking with Alyssa. We were about mid-way through our fresh conversation when she broke eye contact with me, now starring behind me. I gave her a questionable look and turned, only to find Harry behind me. I was lost for words, was he trying to talk to me?
"Hello, Amy." he said.
I slightly threw up my hand to symbolize a small wave. I turned back around to Alyssa right as she face palmed at my reaction to Harry. She looked up and gave me a stern look; I groaned and turned back to him. He spoke before I could open my mouth.
"Care to dance?" he asked, I was trying to make an excuse, I didn't really want to dance with Harry to be honest.
"Well I- You see, my friend would be lonely here if I left. So, no." I said stuttering slightly.
He turned and motioned for the boys to come over, all four came and greeted me, gathering around our two wobbling stools.
"And, who's this?" Niall motioned to Alyssa,
"She's my friend." I said and they all introduced themselves to her formally.
"I’m Alyssa." She said with a smile.
Harry then turned to me, "They'll take care of her, and now, you can dance with me." I sighed and put down my beer before reluctantly heading to the dance floor with Harry.
He grabbed my hand and led me to the center. As we began to dance, I wanted to strike up a conversation.
"What's your problem, Styles?" I said. He seemed taken aback.
"My problem?" he said.
"You never wanted to talk to me before, and now you suddenly do?" I said in the nicest way I could.
He looked down and smiled slightly. "I was nervous." He slowly spoke; I was taken by his statement.
"Nervous?" I asked, he nodded his head and continued.
"I didn't want to embarrass myself by saying something stupid." I was still confused.
I decided to drop the conversation and remain in my confused state. We continued to dance until the song came to a close. I smiled at him and made my way back to Alyssa who seemed to be having fun with the boys. I walked behind her and layer my head on her shoulder and whispered,
"Can we go?"
She looked at me confused and agreed. I stood up straight and put on my jacket. I didn't want to say anything else to Harry, he insisted on sending me mixed messages. I hugged the boys including Harry, not to be rude, as did Alyssa and we made our exit. I got in the driver’s seat and sped off being questioned by Alyssa the whole way home.
