The ride home was tense to say the least.

I for once, kept my mouth shut the whole journey. Just so I could avoid any more irrational outbursts.

Riley drops Vicky off first.

She basically runs out of the car, slamming the door in my face and quickly thanking Riley for the lift home.

Niall is dropped off next.

He thanks Riley for the lift after she thanks him a million more times for fixing her car earlier.

"See you at school tomorrow." he says giving Riley a kiss on the cheek and getting out of the car. "Laters H."

I say goodbye and climb over from the back of the car to the front to sit in the passenger seat.

I underestimated how much of a tight squeeze it was as I nearly got stuck and I smack my head on the roof trying to get through.

"Oww." I say stroking my head and finally finding the fucking seat.

Riley giggles quietly.

"Do you want to go get a milkshake Harry?" She's asks me and my head turns around to look at her.

"Didn't we just do that?"

"Well." she begins to say. "You are the only one who actually got a milkshake. And I stopped you from drinking it. So no, we didn't just do that."

She was not wrong.

"As long as we don't go back to Ruby's then I'm in."

"Oh what! And miss out on another episode of Harry is an ass, we have to go back." she jokes.

"I think everyone has seen enough for today, new episode next week." I joke back. "Thankfully I know another place to go too. They do amazing milkshakes."

"Sounds good. Just point me in the right direction."

...

I direct Riley down a little secluded alleyway and tell her to park the car at the end.

"This is where you have come to kill me isn't it?" Riley says looking around. "What is this place?"

She looks at me, looking a little worried.

"Just trust me." I tell her.

We both get out of the car and she comes around to stand next to me.

"It's just through the little gate over there." I say pointing to the building with the faintly lit red sign. "Believe me it's a hidden gem. Not many people know about this place, but it's amazing."

"How many girls have you taken here?"

"None." I say in defence.

She looks at me with a raised eyebrow clearly not believing a word.

I hesitate for a second. "One or two."

She continues to just look at me.

"Okay three." I confess. "Can we just go in?"

Being the gentleman that i am, I open the door and gesture for Riley to walk in first. She politely thanks me as she steps inside.

"Didn't you say not many people know about this place? She asks as she looks around the crowded dessert bar.

"Yeah." I slowly answer. "It's never usually like this."

The bar wasn't completely packed with people but it was certainly busier then I've ever seen it before.

"There is a booth right over there." she informs me pointing through the crowd to the back of the bar. "I'm going to make a run for it." and with that her little legs are rushing through the crowd of people and I follow closely behind her.

"Made it." She smiles giving me a toothy grin as she sits down.

She is so hot.

I take a seat opposite her and hand her a menu, but she refuses it.

"I already know what i want." she tells me. "I would like a double chocolate milkshake please." she bites on her lip trying not to laugh.

I roll my eyes at her. "I'll never want one of those again. They bring nothing but trouble."

I have no idea why she is being so cool about this situation. Any normal person would have ran a million miles away from me. But she hasn't and I'm not sure why.

The waitress comes over to take our order. "Sorry about the wait, we are rushed off our feet tonight. What can I get you?"

Riley orders herself a double chocolate, nothing but trouble milkshake and I ask for a mint chocolate chip. We also order a banana float to share.

We fall into conversation about Riley's life before she moved. She informs me that her dad had an affair with their next door neighbour so their mum packed up all there shit and moved them far away and they haven't spoken to him since.

"That's pretty shit." I frown.

I feel bad for her and Megan. I can't imagine what having divorced parents is like and not seeing my mum or dad.

My parents are so loved up it's actually disgusting.

"Yeah it was in the beginning. I'm fine with it now."

In the corner of my eye I see a girl approaching our table, I quickly divert my attention over towards her thinking it could be the waitress.

Nope.

"Harry?" The voice calls.

Riley looks at the petite brunette girl standing before us.

"Hey...Rebec.." I stammer.

I don't know her fucking name.

God help me.

"Rachel." she scowls.

"Yeah Rachel. How are you?"

"Cut the shit Harry." Rachel turns her head to look at Riley. "Whose this? Your latest mission?"

"We are just friends." Riley tells her before I could say anything.

Rachel scoffs. "Harry doesn't have girl friends, believe me he is taking you on a date, hoping he can get into your panties later. Don't let his good looks and charm fool you. He is a complete fucking asshole."

I'm not even sure if Riley catches everything she says.

Well that's what I'm hoping for anyway.

She's going to run for the hills any minute now.

Please god just kill me.

This has got to be the worst fucking day of my whole entire existence.

From the whole fucking bicycle thing with Niall earlier, to Ruby's diner and now Ali's dessert bar. I swear I'm on an episode of Ashton Kutcher's punk'd. He is going to come strolling in telling me this nightmare has just been a prank.

Any minute now....

Damn.

"Well I'll be the judge of that." Riley says catching me by surprise.

What?

"I'll give you 20'minutes before you realise that Harry fucking Styles is a complete and utter scum bag." she turns around and walks away.

"Wow, she was friendly." Riley says.

"I know right?" I breath out. "Look, I'm really sorry about everything tonight.."

"Harry don't. You don't have to explain anything. It's fine. To be honest I've found it quite amusing." She grins and takes a sip of her milkshake.

"Oh so this torture has been amusing for you has it?" I tease " I think I'm just going to avoid milkshakes altogether."

"Good idea." she giggles.

Cute.

There is something clearly wrong with this girl to not be completely put off me by now.

But I'm glad she is sticking around.

A/N another update yay.
