Harry's P.O.V

I was slouched on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in my lap, watching some random movie that was on TV, I was shoving popcorn into my mouth, one by one, my focus was on the movie, until there was a knock at the door. 

"ASHLEY" I called. No answer. She must have still be sleeping. The knocking came again. I moaned as my head fell to my left shoulder and I placed the bowl of popcorn on the couch beside. Another knock. 

"Ok ok ok" I dragged myself off of the couch and to the front door "hold your horses". I unlocked the door and turned the door knob, with a sudden push from the other side of the door, Zayn and Louis tumbled inside, knocking me over.

"HAROLD" They screamed and extended their arms to indicate a hug.

"Not nice" I chuckled as I nudged them.

"Do you have to scream?" Ashley stood in, long pajama pants and just her bra, i fought myself to look away, but I can't say the same for Zayn and Louis. She rubbed her eyes and then once she had woken up a bit, her cheeks flashed a light shade of red and nervously giggled "Sorry" She placed each hand on opposite shoulders, creating her arms in an X along her chest.

"No worries at all" Zayn winked, she scrunched her eyes brows together ans awkwardly backed out of the room as Zayn stared her up and down.

When she left the room, I hit him across the shoulder, but not in a playful way.

"What was that far!" He rubbed the area that was now in pain. I didn't answer, he knew what it was for.

"Ohhhhh" Louis winked "Someone fancies Ashley" Louis poked my rib cage

"I don't know what you're talking about" I rubbed my hand at the back of my neck, covering my lie with a smile. 

Our conversation was put on hold when Niall and Liam burst through he door, singing Sexy and I know it. I rolled my eyes and laughed and greeted the lads. It's been about a week since I had last seen them and I texted them the other day, telling them to come down for a few weeks, I missed them.

"So you and Ashley....alone....in an apartment" Niall started when we were seated on the couch.

"So?" I tried to sound casual

"Has anything happened!?" Niall laughed

"Haz has a crush" Lou butted in

"No and no" I pointed to the both of them, but giving Lou and scowl as I pointed to him. He rolled his eyes and nudged Zayn, who nodded with a smile. 

Before the conversation could continue, Ashley walked out from her room, now wearing a red jumper, and still with the same pants. She smiled and sat down beside Liam, which was the farthest away from me, probably because I made it awkward last night.

"Sit next to Harry" Louis decided to throw in and make it even more awkward. No one else knew it, but Ashley and I sure did. She hesitated and widened her eyes, looked towards me and then back at Louis and shook her head "I'm comfortable" But we both new it was a lie once she had said it. 

I cleared my throat, after the room had fell to silence "We should go and do something today" 

"What is there to do around here though?"

"We can go get a coffee" At that moment, Ashley looked over to me, with a worried look on her face. 

"I feel like a a coffee, and I know Ash has some patching up to do" She rolled her eyes

"Go get changed Ash" Liam suggested

"I'll just come like this, it doesn't really matter, there is hardly anyone here"
