Meeting the Fans: This Is Us (ON HOLD)

Over the Top

Zayn's POV:

We were in the van on the way to the hotel. The meet and greet had gone very good. It was nice to spend time with the fans like this. It shows them that we care.

I was sitting near the front looking out the opened window. I smirked to myself as I remembered a particular interesting part of the meet and greet involving Harry.

"Oh we are almost done." Louis said looking at the few girls that were left. Harry perked up at this comment. He was really zoned out through most of it. I have him a knowing look and he just turned away and pretending not to notice.

"I think the only think that Harry is thinking about is Marie!" I said to the other boys. They all looked around at Harry who was not doing a good job of not looking over where she was. Liam just laughed and shrugged his shoulders. Niall shook his head, as if he knew something we didn't. And Louis...well he was watching Harry with a peculiar look of astonishment on his face. "Oh here we go!" I said under my breath.

Louis, as everyone knows is the joker of the group. But there are times when he can get so serious that it's like he is a different person. This is one of those times. And he is about to go off on Harry.

"HAROLD EDWARD STYLES!!" Louis began. The entire room went quiet.

"This is going to be bad, I can tell." I said to Niall, who had taken a few steps away from Louis when he started shouting.

"IF YOU DO NOT STOP DAYDREAMING ABOUT MARIE AND GET BACK TO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, I WILL EMBARRASS YOU SO MUCH THAT YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO SHOW YOUR FACE OUTSIDE FOR A LONG TIME!" Louis said all in one breath.

I think he embarrassed him just by saying that.

Harry's face had never looked so red. Even Marie's face was red. Which I was surprised about because she seemed like nothing could faze her.

The room remained in awkward silence for a while. Liam coughed loudly to take the attention away from Harry's red face. It worked because everyone started focusing on their own things and a general buzz of noise began.

"Anyways, let's get back to the meet and greet. Who is next?" Jake said.

Two more girls came forward to take a picture and chat with us. They seemed a bit subdued. I'm guessing it was because of Louis airing Harry's apparent interest in Marie out loud.

We tried to be extra friendly with them to make up for it. But nothing seemed to help. I nudged Harry to wipe the sad look off his face and join in, and he got a lot better. But that could have been because the next person was Marie.

She looked really reluctant to walk up to us. We tried to smile and make her feel comfortable but I think Louis had done too much damage.

He looked apologetically at her and said, "I'm sorry for calling your name out like that. It wasn't fair of me. Will you please forgive me?"

"Oh it's all right I guess." Marie said smiling slightly. "I guess I will just be the talk of the town for a while. I've already gotten some dirty looks. These girls are no joke when it comes to you guys. Especially you, Harry, I think some of them were ready to fight me. And I would have obviously lost."

"Well you know how girls are. Harry just has some kind of hold over them. I think it's mostly his smile. They really seem to like the dimples on his face." Louis said while poking Harry so that he would smile. It worked, and Harry broke out into a huge grin.

"It's almost too much for your eyes sometimes." Liam joked.

"Yeah, I guess I do see what you are saying. It is a bit distracting." Marie said giving Harry a hard look. Harry smiled flirtatiously. "But I can resist, so I'll be ok." she continued. Harry's smile faded a little bit.

All I could do was watch them and laugh to myself. This might be the first girl who hasn't just fallen head over heels for Harry when he looks at them. I think he has met his match.

"Okay, its time to take the picture boys." Jake said coming over to us.

We had completely forgotten about taking a picture. I guess we were all to focused on the conversation with Marie.

"Oh that's right, we were supposed to take a picture, weren't we?" Liam said going back into his serious mode.

"Oh yeah, let me get my camera out." Marie said reaching into her pocket.

We all formed a Semi-circle with Marie in the middle. Somehow Harry managed to stand right beside her on the right. Niall was on her left and then Louis on his left. I was Beside Harry and Liam was beside me. Jake called for a count of three and we all smiled. When the picture was done Marie began to walk away toward the door.

"It was nice getting to know you!!" Harry called after her.

She slowly turned around and smiled at him and said, "And the same to you!" Then she waved to the rest of us, turned on her heel and walked out of the room.

"It was nice getting to know you!!" I mocked Harry.

"Shut up!" he said pulling out his phone and looking at it. "Oh my, there are like a million girls on twitter asking who Marie is, and if she is my girlfriend. Thanks a lot, Louis!" Harry said sighing.

"Well you needed someone to pull your head out of the clouds! I was just that person." Louis retorted.

"Well you could have used a different tactic. Everyone is going to make her life miserable now!" Harry shot back.

"And she knows that, Harry. Honestly, I doubt if anyone will even know that it's her, how many Marie's do you think there are in LA?" Liam said trying to prevent an argument.

"Well I hope you are right!" Harry said walking over to the table with waters on it.

"It would be the same situation if you were going to date her. So I don't see why you would get so upset. You seem like that's what you're thinking about anyway." I said to him.

"I barely know her! I'm not just going to go date her. Why do you all think that's what I do?" Harry asked exasperatedly.

"We are just calling it as we see it, mate." Niall said.

"Well you are calling it wrong!" Harry replied.

"Okay, calm down, this doesn't need to be an argument." Liam said.

I think he's failing with this interceding thing. Oh well, it's not like our arguments last that long anyway.

"Okay boys, it's all clear to go get in the van." Paul said coming over to us.

"Great! Cuz I want to get out of here!" Harry said, giving us all dirty looks and walking toward the hallway.

"What's his problem?" Louis asked as we all followed Harry out of the door.

"I don't know, but I'm sure we will all find out soon enough." I replied.
