KATIE'S P.O.V.

After my little drama, we reached the restaurant. Harry was a gentleman and he opened the door for me. Aww. I thanked him and he smiled. It turns out, he had a reservation for us. He approached the man at the podium. "Reservation for Styles, Harry Styles.", he said formally. Wow. He looked cute when he did that.

Shut up, Katie. You know you still love Louis.

Yeah, well I can't be in love with him forever. He's found someone. Maybe I can too.

The man led us to our table and we sat down. I noticed that this was a fancy restaurant. Since Harry didn't let me change, I was left to wear my shooting clothes. Good thing I wore a dress today, so it's safe. Harry, on the other hand, didn't mind whether he was wearing casual clothes. A waiter hands us the menus and we searched for something to eat.

I ordered something I couldn't quite pronounce. Looks like French to me. Harry ordered something I couldn't pronounce too. What's up with this restaurant? I shrugged it off and the waiter left.

I ended up having a really good time with Harry. He made my mind forget about Louis, though thoughts of him seemed to crawl up into my brain every once in a while. We had a really good conversation. While eating, he would make me laugh with his corny jokes. I wonder why I haven't talked to him before.

But, some part of me still longed for Louis. I think I can't move on yet. But, I'm willing to.

Move on, girl. He's found someone already.

After we ate, I volunteered to share the bill with him, but Harry wouldn't allow it. He raced me in paying, and sure enough, he won. When the waiter left, I glared at him. He chuckled and said, "Maybe next time." Then , he stuck his tongue out at me. I laughed and he looked at his watched and muttered something. "What?", I asked while we were walking. "Oh. Let's head to the park.", he said, more like a demand. I nodded and we headed to the park.

*upon reaching the park...

We reached the park and Harry ran towards the bench. I played along and raced him to it. I won. Harry's mouth was agape. He couldn't believe I beat him to it. What? I'm a fast runner. I laughed at his expression and so did he. He sat beside me. We chatted for a while and laughed.

Just then, his phone rang. "Oh. It's time.", he muttered. I heard and asked, "Time for what, Harry?" He looked at me, possibly thinking what to say. "Oh, nothing. Katie, can you excuse me for a moment? I'll just take this.", he said.

I nodded and he left, going to some place beside some trees. I stared at the skies and gazed at the stars. I've always admired them. They're simple yet beautiful. "Wow. The stars are so beautiful.", I muttered, sounding like a 5-year old girl. Then, I looked for Harry, but he wasn't in his previous spot. Where could he have gone? You could say I could've gotten pretty scared, I mean, who wouldn't? Being alone in the park. I can walk alone, but I'm a scaredy-cat. I called out to him, "Harry? Harry, please don't scare me. I might die of having a heart attack." But, there was no reply.

Just as I was about to stand up, someone sang from behind me. It was Harry.

Better than words, more than a feeling.

Crazy in love, dancing on the ceiling.

Why was he singing? "Harry, what are you doing? Why are you singing? What's going on?", I said rather quickly. He didn't answer. Instead, a boy I recognized as Liam appeared.

Every time we touch, I'm all shook up.

You make me wanna, how deep is your love.

God only knows, baby.

At this point, I was really confused. It was cute, yeah. They were singing in front of me and they were really good. But, why? What's going on?

Then, 2 more guys appear. I think they were Niall and Zayn.

Ah woo... I don't how else to sum it up,

'Cause words ain't good enough, ow.

There's no way I can explain your love, no.

Then they all sang.

Ah woo... I don't know how else to sum it up,

'Cause words ain't good enough.

I can't explain your love, no.

It's better than words, woah.

Better than words, oh-ooh.

I'd have to say, their song is really good. Catchy. I think they composed that themselves.

Just as I was enjoying the song, someone appears...Oh no. It can't be.

What was he doing here?

Who else am I talking about?

Louis.

It's better than words, you drive me crazy.

Someone like you, always be my baby.

Then, he points at me.

I drive him crazy? I'll always be his baby? Did he mean it? Why is he singing this to me?

Then, finally it clicked in my head.

-We haven't talked for 3 days 'cause they were practicing for this.
-Harry said Louis was busy so he couldn't join him, but they were actually busy for this.
-Harry muttered "Oh. It's time." as a signal that they had to prepare for this.

I watched as they continued performing in front of me. If you asked me, I'm pretty lucky to see their amazing talents. I was surprised mostly by Louis' voice. It was angelic. So beautiful. A little high, but I liked it. Just as I was about to move on, he does this. Making my heart leap again.

Then, when they finished, Louis walked up to me. He knelt so that we were the same level 'cause I was sitting down. "Louis, what's this about? I thought you had girlfriend?", I asked, tears threatening to fall. He looked confused and asked, "Girlfriend? Who told you I had a girlfriend?" I looked confused and said, "I asked Harry who that girl was. You know, the one you were sitting with on the bench earlier? He said you liked her." I bowed down. Louis smiled and lifted my head, "Love, I don't have a girlfriend." I stared into his eyes and asked, "But who is-", I was cut off by him saying, "I was just talking to her, trying to make you jealous. She was just part of the act. I see it worked.", he explained. I was really confused and he explained more.

"I haven't talked to you for 3 days 'cause we were rehearsing for this, for you. I asked the girl to help me make you jealous, so that you would go on a date with Harry. And knowing you, I know you would try to make me jealous too.", he stated. I listened as he told me everything.

"So everything was planned?", I asked.
It's quite obvious, Katie.

He nodded and smiled. "Why, Louis? Why did you plan this? It's not that you like me or anything, right?", I said, looking away from him.

He took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry for what I said to you earlier. I didn't mean it. It was part of the plan. I felt really bad and a bit guilty for saying that to you, though."

I faced him and he looked at me with all sincerity and continued, "When I'm with you, my heart beats so fast, I feel it would explode. When I'm near you, you send tingles up my spine and goosebumps cover me. You always make me smile with your simple jokes, laugh, smile and even just the way you carry yourself. As the song says, it's better than words when I'm with you. The song suits my feelings for you. Well, it is inspired by you." He blushed a little when he said that. Aww.

I was already crying at this point. His words moved me. He does feel the same when I'm around.

He wiped my tears and leaned closer to me. "I don't wanna be your friend, Katie. I take back what I said. I want to be more with you.", he added.

My eyes widened at what I heard.

He wants to be more?

I think I know where this is going.

"Katie...", he trailed off.

Is this it?

"... Would you be more than friends with me? In short..."

"... Would you be my girlfriend?"
