"Harry, what are you doing here?"

"I said I needed your help!" I closed the door behind me and went outside, I hoped Nathan did not notice.

"In what?"

"Well, my sister, Gemma. She is coming here soon," I smiled. 

"Aw, you won't feel homesick anymore."

"Um, you think that good?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion. "That is bad! She always teased me about being single."

"Why? Is being single that bad?"

"No, but all my past relationships were a big failure and ended so fast, she thinks I suck at love or even have a girlfriend." He rolled his eyes. "So, when she called me and said that she is coming, she said of course I won't have a girlfriend and I'm lonely."

"So what? It's okay, she is just jealous of you, Harry. She is just saying that to make you mad."

"Um, no! I don't care about her as much as I care about my mum." I gave him a confused look, I was so lost. What was wrong with being single? I mean that did not mean he was lonely, I guess his sister think thought like Ashlee. Also, I do not see where was this going, what do I have to do with all of these problems?

"What is wrong with your mom?" 

"She will get worried and keep calling me everyday, she thinks I am still heartbroken since my last ex-girlfriend, when I was the one who ended it to be honest." Wow, it looked like he had a long past with relationships and they all went wrong.

"Harry, it is not that big deal." He shook his head disagreeing. I sighed. "What do I have to do with all of this?"

"I need your help."

"Um, you said the same thing before and I will repeat my question, In what?" He grinned.

"I need you to pretend that you are my girlfriend for just a few hours."  My eyes went wide and I felt the whole world stop when he said that. It was not that big of a deal for him to be that worried, he did not need a fake girlfriend or anything. Even if he did, why didn't he ask any other girl? 

"Um, Eve?" Harry's eyes went behind as I turned around to look at the small figure in front of me. Nathan looked at Harry for a second then frowned. "Are you coming back?" His voice was small, sometimes he was shy when he met new people.

"Uh, yeah!" I looked back at Harry and he was smiling at Nathan, he bent down to his height and he stretched out his hand to him.

"Hi, Nathan. I am Harry." 

"Hi, Harry!" Nathan shook his hand and I was smiling at the cute scene in front of me. "Are you her boyfriend?" I slapped my forehead with my hand, playfully groaning as Harry turned around to look at me and laugh.

"Um, no. I am Eve's friend." He said to him.

"Would you like to join us in our Harry Potter Marathon?" I was surprised that he asked him that, I always knew that he was shy and when he got used to a person, he talked normally with them. But he just met Harry and all of a sudden he was inviting him to our movie night. "I mean if you like to, but I guess you would because your name is Harry too." Harry nodded grinning like a child.

"You are right, but too bad I am not a wizard." He sighed and stood up normally, his tall figure hovered us both. "But I can not join unless Eve approves." Nathan came to me and signaling me to bend down to his height, I bent down and he put his hand on my right ear so Harry could not hear us. 

"Please, approve. He looks so nice and a fun company," Nathan whispered in my ear, I looked up at Harry and he was looking at us smirking. I sighed and nodded at Nathan.

"Okay, okay. You can join us, Harry." 

Nathan ran inside to play the film, I went inside and opened the door wider for Harry to enter. He thanked me and followed me inside, I felt his eyes on me so I turned around and his smirk never left his lips. I raised my eyebrows and stopped my tracks.

"Why are you smirking?" He chuckled.

"Nothing, it's just you look cute in your pink tank top and shorts." 

"Keep your eyes to yourself, Styles," I said and continued walking to the fort we made. I did not bother changing, although I did not know Harry so well, but I knew that he would never try and make a move. He was a gentleman and not a flirt."There is pizza, if you would like. We did not finish it yet." I pointed at the box and he nodded.

"Our talk is not over yet, I am waiting for your answer though," He whispered in my ears before we sat down.

Time past and we were watching Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire, Harry and Nathan kept talking about the movie while they were watching it and eating pizza. When the pizza was done I got us popcorn and got us soda. 

I noticed how Harry was good with kids and I think that Nathan was liking him, they looked like brothers. Harry made him laugh and told him his jokes, which I was not listening to because I knew how bad he was at them. Nathan showed him his cars collection because he liked cars and liked to collect toys of them

I knew they would mend together because of them were entertaining and funny, also they had something in common. But I, on the other hand, zoned out in my own world. I did not know what to say to Harry.

I did not want to accept his request because I was not that good at acting and I knew I was going to ruin everything. I was rude like they said, I knew I was going to say something wrong. Also, I didn't know why Harry was thinking of it as a problem. 

It was not a problem at all, but I guess he wanted to prove something for his sister. Maybe he wanted to prove that he was good at keeping a girlfriend for a while, and did not want his mother to worry. I did not know but I guess that was the reason. 

It was late and Nathan passed his bed time actually, but I wanted him to spend one night having fun and laughing. He did not laugh or smile like that since my dad left, and mom wanted to take care of him so she was a bit overprotected. He was young and she should be, even I was. But the problem that she also thought of me as a kid like him, she did not know that I could take care of myself.

"Is he asleep?" I asked Harry in a hushed tone. I saw Nathan sleeping in his lap and we did not even finish all the films. I smiled, he looked so peaceful and both of them looked so cute. Now, that was weird saying that because that was not the rude side of me, the rude side of me would have thought something else. I was glad that part of that bad side was gone before we even started the lessons.

"Yeah, he is." 

"Okay, I am going to take him upstairs." I stood up and held Nathan's light and small body in my arms carefully. I took him to his room, tucked him in his bed and went downstairs to Harry. 

"Sorry for ruining your night-"

"You did not at all. Nathan and I enjoyed it very much," I cut him off as I grabbed the pillows from the fort and put them on the couch. Tonight was very fun and I did enjoy it. I was thankful that he joined us because Nathan was more happy. 

I cleaned everything quickly, of course, with Harry's help after he insisted. Then, we sat on the couch. We sat in silence for a minute, he was waiting for my reply because he noticed that I was thinking deep while we were watching the films. So, he assumed it was his problem that I was thinking about, and he was right.

"You know that he liked you, I mean he is always shy when he meets any stranger," I said changing the subject. 

"I like him too. And, I guess he was not that shy because I wasn't a stranger. Not to you at least." 

"But you are still a bit stranger."

"For god's sake, Eve, you saw my ID and my flat!" We burst out laughing at what he said, but not too loud for Nathan to wake up. "Also, do not change the subject, I did not teach you that."

"Yes, but you taught me not to ignore the subject. I changed it." He sighed.

"Please, Eve! Do it for me, I mean I babysat with you today."

"Oh, thank you for that, by the way." 

"You are welcome, I really enjoyed it. So?" He changed the subject quickly like I did, his eye went wide as if he was giving me the puppy eyes. 

"Why do you make it look like it's a big deal, Harry? Let your sister think whatever she wants, just forget about that."

"No! I want to prove to her that I can love." I sighed. "I want to show her that I can have a long relationship." I sighed.

"Why me?" He smiled.

"Because I do not trust anyone else. By anyone else I mean the girls that I know, my friends or what I call friends."

"And, you trust me?"

"Well, yeah, I should not?" He asked worrying? I shook my head giggling. 

"No, trust me." 

"Good." I was about to reply, but the door got  opened and my mom walked in looking exhausted. She was about to speak, but when she saw Harry she froze. She looked at him up and down, then her eyes moved to me and looked at what I was wearing, I guess.

"Hey, mother." I waved smiling at her, she gave me a look and smiled in confusion. 

"Uh, hey." I looked at Harry and he was smiling at her.

"Mom, this is Harry Styles." She raised her eyebrows. "Oh, my friend." Harry chuckled and shook my mom's hand being nice and polite.

"Pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Henderson." 

"Pleasure meeting you too," Mom said smiling a little despite her being tired of work.

"I better get going," Harry spoke after a short silence and I nodded understanding. "Pleasure meeting you again, Mrs. Henderson." My mom nodded and walked to the kitchen as I walked Harry to the door.

"Thank you again, for tonight," I said to Harry as we were standing in front of the porch of the house. 

"I should be the one thanking you for tonight, it was definitely better than sleeping or watching stupid reality TV shows." He chuckled.

"Well, I am glad you enjoyed it." He looked away and let out a deep breath. 

"So, what is your answer?"

"Harry, I am rude."

"Um, was that... Your answer?" I let out a laugh then I hit his shoulder playfully.

"I really mean it. What if I say something ruin? What if I ruin everything?" 

"And, what if everything went well and I proved something?" He put his hand on my shoulders and looked straight to my eyes. "You owe me, remember?" 

"Huh? Owe you what?"

"Before we start the lessons you said how should you repay me, and I said nothing. But of course, you feel like you owe me-"

"No, I don't." I cut him off knowing where this was headed.

"Shut up, do not interrupt me. I said that before." He pointed at me then sighed, his face turned serious. "Eve, you are not rude anymore, even if you were which I do not see then not very much. I know you will do well!"

"Okay, Harry," I gave up, he looked taken back.

"Are you going to do it?" I nodded sighing.

"Yes, yes. I want to help you like you helped me." It was true, he did help me and I even earned a new friend.

"Thank you so much!" He hugged me tight, I hugged him back laughing.

"You are welcome, love!" I joked laughing, I called him by the same nickname he always called me. We pulled back and he was grinning, I was going to speak, but he cut me off by pressing his heart shaped lips to my cheek.

My eyes went wide a bit, he never did that. We did hug before, but no kisses other than him texting me a lot of 'x's . He noticed I was surprised and his grin turned to a smirk.

"Are you shocked?"

"Uh, n-no." He chuckled.

"Oh love, get used to it and more than that." I rolled my eyes at him saying 'more than that', I totally understood what he meant.

"I am not letting you kiss me in front of your sister."

"I am not promising you anything."
