I'm "That" girl

Chapter twenty

I sat at the table and I chewed my nails. Yeah, it's probably gross but it's what I do when I'm nervous or confused. And I am both of those things at the moment.
Was he going to kiss me? Or was he going to tell me a secret? I can't process this. I am just so confused right now.

"Oh that was beautiful wasn't it."

I look over and see Anne who smiles at me and takes her seat. Now it was just me and her at the table.

"Very." I say, smiling back.

"You and Harry looked adorable dancing." She says.

I just smile. I loved when we waltzed and the way he held onto me made me feel safe.

"He is a lovely boy, isn't he?"

I felt bad because I forgot to reply to her, I just dazed off.

But I looked up at her and smiled, then I turned and looked at Harry dancing with his niece on the dance floor. The DJ played 'Let it go' for the kids and he was swaying the small child around and she had a huge smile on her face.

"He is." I reply to Anne, but still looking at Harry.

"He's so kind and gentle" I say, looking at Anne, "definitely one of a kind".

I smiled even thinking about him.

Anne smiled back at me.

"I'm definite he thinks the same with you", she giggles and shakes her head, replying, "and gosh. He hasn't stopped talking about you lately."

I giggle. It made me feel happy that he did that.

"What does he say?" I ask softly, not being able to wipe the smile off my face.

"Oh..." Anne shakes her head, "there's so just so much. Well, he tells us that you are a very beautiful girl, with a kind heart and gorgeous smile. He said that when he first met you, he wanted to get to know you better because you looked like and seemed like a lovely person."

I was smiling so hard I thought my cheeks were going to explode.

"And he told us you were different to other girls, in a good way of course."

Anne must've noticed me completely dying from happiness because she chuckled.

"Told you he's a lovely boy." She said, giggling.

"He's a perfect boy." I say, then I realised that I said that out loud and she was smirking.

"Are you two dating? Be honest." She said, still smirking.

"No, no. Just.. Just friends." I say.

She went to say something but Robyn sat down and immediately grabbed Anne's shoulder and began to tell her something.

I sat there by myself looking around when the beautiful bride Katherine approached me.

"Come dance honey!" She said.

I noticed the DJ was now playing Brittney Spears 'oops I did it again' she danced near me and I chuckled.

Before I could answer she grabbed me and dragged me into the dance floor and some of her friends accompanied us and I was forced to dance. But it wasn't too bad, because after a few minutes it got fun and we were all just acting silly.

--------------------

Before I knew it everyone was leaving the reception. So we decided to leave too. By the way, it was almost 12am.

The waved bye to the bride and groom who were on their way to a beachside hotel room for the night, then me and Harry said our goodbyes to Gemma and Anne. Then, we left.

The ride home was a little quite. Not really awkward though, I think it was because we were both just tired and so keen to go home.

We pulled up in my driveway and Harry told me he'd walk me up to my door, just to be safe considering it's in the early hours of the morning.

We reached the door and I turned and looked at Harry. He looked so perfect, and his tiredness made him look really cute. He gave me a smile and I giggled because he just looked dead. His eyes were half shut and he had bags under his eyes.

"Harry, are you ok to drive home?" I ask.

"Ugh.. Yeah." He says, followed by a yawn.

"You look like you are about to fall asleep."

"I'll be ok." He yawned again and I frowned.

"I don't want you to fall asleep driving. Just, ugh.. Just stay here the night?" I ask.

"Em, it's alright I-"

I interrupted him.

"No, no. Harry Styles, I am not letting you drive in this state. Just stay. I don't want you to risk you're life."

He looked down and bit his lip thinking.

"I do have some clothes in my car." He says quietly, as if he was talking to himself. Then he looked up at me.

"Ok. I'll stay, but only if it's alright."

I smile. "Of course it's alright!"

So Harry went and got some spare clothes from in his car and came in. I locked the door behind him and told him I was going for a shower. He waited in the living room and I tried to hurry because I didn't want to keep him waiting.

When I finished, I dried myself and put on my baggy shirt and short cat pyjama pants.

I walked out and he looked at me and smiled.

"You can have a shower if you want." I say.

"Ok." He says. He stands up and walks into the bathroom.

"Nice pjs by the way!" He yells as he walks in.

"Don't judge." I yell back, giggling.

"I'm not! They're cute."

He shut the door and I just smiled and rolled my eyes to myself. I turned off the living room light and grabbed my bottle of water from the fridge.

I went into my bedroom and turned on my lamp and turned off the main light. I laid down and used my phone.

Not long later, Harry walked in. Wearing a paid of short casual pants and a plain black V neck shirt. I loved when he wore them type of shirts, they showed his muscles so well...

"You can sleep in here if you want." I say nervously.

I was hoping he didn't think that was a big deal, we've slept in the same bed before.

Without hesitation he climbed in beside me and I gave him some pillows and looked at the time before I turned my phone off. It's now 1:25am.

"Night Harry." I say.

"Night beautiful." He said softly.

I smiled and I couldn't stop smiling. He's so sweet.

Next minute, he leaned over, and kissed my cheek. I blushed so hard and giggled. And he must of heard me because he laughed too.

Then, it didn't take us long to fall asleep.
