Unexpected Happenings [UNEXPECTED SERIES #1]

Chapter 35

*Harry's POV*

"Get in" I tell her but then wish I could have sounded a bit softer instead of harsh because I don't mean to be that way towards her at all.

When she gets in and puts on the seatbelt she shifts her focus on the window instead of it being on the radio or the front or on making conversation or even just.....me. She doesn't even glance my way and I feel like that's because of how I basically ordered her to get in without even greeting her.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to sound rude.. Something happened and no, I don't want to talk about it. I just.. Let's just go home. I'll be calmer there" I say the first thing that comes to my head and shift my focus back to the front.

"It's okay." she says softly when we stop at a red light. "You mind if I maybe talk so it keeps your mind off of whatever that's bothering you?" she asks. Hesitantly. I can tell. I smile.

"Sure" I say and then turn the radio on. It automatically connects to the Kiara's playlist that I've been playing this whole week. I flush a little and reduce the volume to 10.

"I thought you said my music was 'unrealistic'" she air quotes and I smile.

"It is, but what's wrong in listening once in a while?" I ask her to which I see a smile now showing. "I have to admit, you've got some good songs too" I say and purposely look at her to see her reaction. She smiles at the window.

"Do you have a favourite?" she asks. I know she is curious so i think for a moment before saying,

"I like a few. Like I listen to them on repeat sometimes." I admit.

"Really? Can you name some? Maybe not every-"

"Can't hurt me. Friends. This love. Do it again. You're the reason. Blue. "

"Wow.." I haven't even finished but I'm kind of glad she interrupted me because I don't even know why I like some songs. I just like them and I don't know what to say if she asks why I like them.

"Yeah"

-

"Niall! Do you realise you finished a whole pizza? And none of us haven't even started yet" Kiara gaily scolds Niall, shaking her head to herself and then laughing before bringing the other two boxes with the new pizzas and setting it on the coffee table.

"Sorry love" Niall laughs. And then we all grab a piece of pizza for ourselves except Kiara. I almost ask her but she already looks up at me, giving me the chance to read her mind.

I take a wild guess and mouth 'is it your monthly visitor?' she nods, giggling and then hiding her flushed cheeks. She then stands up and then comes back with a few wine glasses and a wine bottle and sets it on the coffee table and pours herself a glass.

"What about me?" Louis fake pouts. I playfully kick his head. "Ow" he says and throws the tissue box behind which hits my stomach. I laugh before tossing it behind the sofa. Kiara watching us.

"What are we watching?" She shifts the focus to the TV and looks at all five of us individually.

"Mrs. Doubtfire!" Louis yells. Of course.

"Oh my gosh yeah!" Kiara cheers and high fives Louis and proceeds to search for the movie on Netflix without even getting the rest of the boys' approval which i found funny but made no comment.

-

"Boy, that movie will always make me laugh no matter how many times I've watched it," Kiara says, getting up to her feet and starting to clear out the empty pizza boxes, packets of chips and bottles of drinks and the empty wine bottle all at once.

"We can help" Liam stands up and takes most of the things from Kiara's hands before she could protest and throws them in the garbage in the kitchen.

A few more hours pass with conversation mostly and a lot more wine and music in the living room, the boys and I entertaining Kiara with good old memories, childhood stories and high school days.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up, back up. So you're telling me, Niall stole Harry's girlfriend?" Kiara asks Liam who started off talking about that chaotic last year of school.

"Yep. It was so much drama, believe me. Her name was Violet. She was beautiful and all of the guys wanted her. But Harry here was lucky to make her fall in love with him but, our Harry here was not at all the kind of guy who was relationship type at the time. But to her he somehow softened up a little." Liam and the boys laugh, glancing at me with teasing smiles. I roll my eyes but laugh. "But when Violet realised Harry was not into starting anything with her, she broke up with him a few days after she tried to convince him..."

"And then a few weeks later, Niall took the opportunity to ask her out and boom! End of the story" I finish, rather fast compared to Liam leaving all the engrossing details.

"Harry! I was getting there pretty well and you just had to spoil it now" Liam exclaims, annoyed. I laugh.

*Kiara's POV*

Seeing Harry so playful makes me smile, listening to his story of highs chool craziness makes me imagine him being young and in love or however he was when he was young. It makes me wonder how things would've been if we met in different circumstances. What if we were in the same school? What if I got to see him being a young high school student? What if I was Violet and got to convince him to be a thing?

When the boys left for their houses around 2 am, Harry helped me clear the coffee table and then he said he's going to bed.

I was awake in my room, staring out at the night sky from the balcony.

Harry.

How can just one thing consume so much inside of you?

Hey there people!! Sorry if the chapter feels like a filler. I'm writing even though I'm actually on writer's block. So bear with me for a couple of chapters. I hope you're liking the story though because if most of you don't, I will take the story down.
