Aloha Aloha ✩ Harry Styles (Editing)

Chapter 35

I knock the door on Keanna's house and wait until she opens the door. I look at my feet and sigh, calmed. The last thing Louis told me before going out of the hotel was that I needed to stay calmed all the time, even though I felt that my heart was breaking into pieces. And of course, I will follow his advice, as he has done this more than a couple of times with Eleanor.

I cannot believe this will be the last time Keanna and me see each other for a while.

I get out from my thoughts when the door starts unlocking and expect seeing Keanna. But standing in the door, there's not Keanna, neither Malia. There's a woman of about forty or fifty years old. She has brown hair and a dark skin, not like Keanna, and has a few wrinkles and freckles. She smiles and scans myself.

"You must be Harry," she says.
"You must be Keanna's mom," I reply in the same tone as her.
"Come inside," she says, laughing.

I walk inside to the living room as she locks the door once again. She walks after me with a sweet smirk and her hands together. She starts turning on two aromatic candles that were above the chimney, which start smelling like lavanda, and looks at me.

"You can sit down Harry," she says, laughing. I smirk and sit in one of the sofas.
"I am sorry I didn't met you before," she says, brining the candles to the table, "I was out of town with my husband. I arrived a few hours ago and I just know a few things about you."
"Keanna didn't tell you more?" I ask.
"Keanna was too busy picking which dress to wear for telling me more things," she says, making me laugh. "Would you mind telling me what has happened?"
"Of course not," I say, smiling. "Well, we met because of her job with her uncle. She gave my friends and me the van that is parked outside."
"Oh, she has made so many friends because of that job," she says, smiling with a light in her eyes.
"I thought I would never see her again, or at least until we would give the van back," I say, looking at my feet. "But we met again in the restaurant she works at."
"What a beautiful coincidence," she says, laughing.
"And I think the rest is history," I reply, laughing with her.

She smiles once again to me and then we hear footsteps coming downstairs. My eyes widen and I feel a pain in my stomach as I stand up and walk closer to the stairs. No, I feel nerves. I wasn't nervous before, why being nervous now?

I first catch a glance of her dark pink booties. Then, I start seeing her vivid pink dress, long above her knees and with long sleeves, until I finally fully see her, standing in the very last steps of the stairs, looking at me. And my nerves vanish.

She wears a dark pink necklace around her neck and has her nails painted in the same tone. Her hair is tied in a ponytail which hangs by her right shoulder. She wears makeup only in her eyes and lips. Her lips. They are so bright red and kissable right now.

"You look perfect Keanna," I finally say, smiling dumbly.

She is indeed stunning and radiant. I'm simply wearing black pants with a black button up t-shirt, a large black coat, Zayn's red fabric scarf, and some random black boots. But she, she is looking so beautiful that she could pose right now for Teen Vogue magazine.

"And you look handsome," she replies, walking closer to me.
"Well, where are you going tonight?" Keanna's mother asks.
"I was thinking of having a kind of luxury dinner first, and then we would go somewhere else," I reply, turning to look at her mother. "Maybe we could go to... the zoo?"
"The zoo?" Keanna asks, surprised.
"Yeah... yes, to the zoo," I say, now confident.
"Oh well," her mother laughs. "I hope you have a lot of fun."
"Thank you Ms. Fanning," I say, smirking.
"Aw boy, call me Heather," she says, winking. Then, she moves closer to Keanna and whispers something. Though, I can completely hear it. And I think she is making it on purpose. "You didn't told me he was such a gentleman."
"Mom," Keanna says in a soft voice, giggling.

We end up eating at Sombat's Fresh Thai Cuisine, a Thai food restaurant. It isn't as luxurious as I wanted it to be, but it doesn't makes me judge how the food will taste. The place is small, and there are a few couples having dinner. So we sit in a far table.

"I've heard this Thai food is awesome," Keanna says, opening one of the menus of the table.
"It sure will be," I say, smiling.
"Do you have Snapchat?" she asks, changing the topic completely.
"Mmm... no."
"Maybe you should create an account."
"Why?"
"So we can send us pictures while we are far from each other," Keanna replies, shrugging, "because I will obviously miss your cute face."
"I will miss yours, too," I say, looking to the ground.
"Let's not be sad, we have a couple of hours left," she says. But then a tear comes running down her cheek.
"Hey, don't cry," I say, kneeling beside her chair and then cupping my hands around her face. "You said it, let's not be sad."

She nods rapidly and looks away from me. I move her face softly so she looks to my eyes and then I kiss her. I feel a small shock through my body and a smile appearing on her face. I separate from her and she shyly smirks to the ground.

"Let's play..."
"A game," I complete her sentence.
"Truth or dare?" Keanna asks to me.
"Dare," I say, eating a spoonful from my plate.
"I dare you to throw something to the couple beside us," she says, grinning to her food.
"W-What?" I ask, laughing.
"You've listened to me," she says, giggling.

I grab a napkin from the table and make it a ball. I point to the couple and quickly throw the ball and turn around and act as if I was eating from my plate normally.

Keanna does the same but glances at the couple's table for a few seconds. I do the same and see how the lady throws away the napkin, disgusted, and keeps talking with the man.

"Well done," she laughs.
"Truth or dare?" I ask to her.
"Dare."
"Taste a spoonful of this chili sauce."

I push the small bottle in front of her and she stares and it with an open mouth. She first opens the bottle and leaves a drop of the sauce in her finger and tastes it.

"It is spicy."
"A spoonful."
"B-But..."
"A spoonful!"

She laughs and pours some sauce to her spoon. When she closes the lid of the bottle and puts it away, she stares at the spoon with the shiny red sauce like if it was her enemy. She closes her eyes harshly and swallows the sauce as fast as she cans. When she opens her eyes, she starts breathing in and out because of the sauce and I laugh.

"It is really spicy Harold!" she shouts.

She drinks her complete glass of water and also mine. She looks around and raises her hand so our waitress comes back to assist us.

"Waiter, can you bring us four glasses of water?" Keanna asks, making me laugh louder.
"Uh, sure," the lady says, frowning. Then she walks away.
"It's not funny Harry," Keanna says, trying to control herself.
"Actually it's really funny, like a comedy TV show, don't you think so?" I bother her.
"Oh yeah, of course," she says, rolling her eyes. She then takes off the necklace she was wearing and puts it inside the bag she brought, relaxing. She stares at me and then at my scarf. "You seem uncomfortable with that scarf, why don't you take it off?"

I grin, wishing that Zayn could hear this. I take the scarf off and hand it to Keanna, who puts it in her bag with the necklace.

That's one of the reasons why I think she is my one true pairing.
