"Wake up my American beauty" I could feel Harry's warm breath hit the side of my face making tingles go down my spine. I groaned internally hating when people try waking me up from my sleep, I am not a morning person and I believe I will never be.

"Go away dimple face" I pushed his face away from me and buried my face into the soft cushions. This handsome man that is trying to wake me up is my best friend, Harry Styles. You ask Harry Styles? Yes, the curly haired, green eyed, dimple cheeks, Harry from the famous boy band called One Direction.

"Come on sleeping beauty get up. I'll meet you in the living room in thirty minutes the lads are coming over." He said patting my back then walking out and shutting the door behind him. I have to admit I really like when those goof balls come over they make my whole day very interesting and fun.

I slowly rose from my bed and made my way to the bathroom, I looked at the mirror examining my morning face. Yuck my hair is a mess I look like Frankenstein's wife; I stripped out of my clothes and went inside the shower the steaming warm water hitting my skin in such a satisfying way. While I shampooed and rinsed, my mind wondered off to my difficult situation, that I was falling in love with my best friend. I meet Harry when I moved from America to England when I was eleven years old and since then we have been great neighbors and friends, but ever since Harry auditioned for the X Factor a few years ago, I have been really lonely he is the only friend that I trust with my whole life and now a day's trust is hard to find. Once Harry came back from his tours he finally settled in London, he called me one day and asked if I wanted to live with him in his flat I was more than happy to accept. Ever since I moved in my life has changed, feelings have changed; I started gathering these weird feelings for Harry that I never thought I could feel for him. At first I thought they were just 'friend feelings' but then I noticed every little thing about him and I would start becoming jealous of girls being all over him like if he was some kind of toy and what angered me the most is that he would let them flirt with him; and that's when it hit me like a brick, I was starting to fall for my best friend.

I walked out of the bathroom and changed into my pink tee shirt, some dark blue jeans and my pitch black vans shoes. I brushed my wavy honey brown hair so it wouldn't become all paranoid and ugly when gets dry. I placed my doctors subscribed glasses on which took away the life out of my hazel eyes. I walked out of my room towards the living room just to find a lazy Harry laying down the on the black couch.

"I said thirty minutes not an hour" he whined.

"Oh shut up Harry be happy that I'm awake" I shot back. Just when Harry was about to say something else the front door flew open and four loud boys came in laughing their heads off.

"What the hell, how did you guys get in?" Harry said getting up from his seat.

"It was unlocked" Zayn answered

"No, no I remember it was locked" Harry protested

"Well something's up with your brain boobear that you keep forgetting things" Louis said

"Keep forgetting things? Like what else have I forgotten?" Harry asked

"Like you forgot to pick us up!" Louis cried out, making me laugh. He turned and finally noticed me.

"Uhh hello there carebear. How did you sleep last night? Did boobear here keep you up with all his snoring" Louis teased embracing me with a hug.

"Snoring? I don't snore!" Harry defended, "and leave my carebear alone, she's mine" Hazza playfully pushed Louis away. I have to say even though they are just messing around with me I just love how Hazza says that I'm his.

"She doesn't have your name stamped on her forehead" Louis retorted, smirking at me.

"She's no one's property so leave her alone" Niall grabbed me and took me into the kitchen; leaving the boys laughing.

"So....?" Niall asked smiling like a total weirdo.

"What?" I asked

"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about Caroline. You and Harry of course"

"Shhh. Shut up Niall. Harry doesn't know. The only one that knows is you" I said. Ever since I moved in with Harry and meet the lads I quickly bonded with Niall he is just so friendly and awesome that anyone would want to be his friend.

"I know, I know. When are you going to tell him Care?" he asked

"I don't know Niall. Probably...never" I told him

"Come on love, how will you know what he feels for you if you never tell him"

"Because Niall I'm his best friend and I know when Harry fancies someone and just to put it out there he does not fancy me"

"But Caroline.."

"No but's Niall just let me take my time, please"

"Okay, okay fine" he he received the message and didn't push me any further.

"Thanks" I gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek and went back to the living room where I found all the guys surrounding Harry. Harry was speaking on the phone with someone and he had a huge smirk on his face.

"Okay, I'll see you tonight then?.....Alright, see you then love, bye" Harry hung up the phone and all the guys cheered like if they just won the lottery.

"Who was that?" I asked

"A friend" Harry replied

"What friend?"  I faked smiled

"Ummm..I...mmm" Harry mumbled but was soon cut off by Louis

"Well Miss. Nosy pants if you really want to know it was Lucy. Harry meet her at one of the interviews we went" I looked at Harry and he nodded approving what Louis had just told me.

"I'm taking her to dinner at seven. Are you okay with that?" Harry asked

"Why wouldn't I be? I mean it's your life so do what you have to do" I replied dryly.

"Are you sure carebear?" he asked again

"I'm positive go have fun" I said; walking back into the kitchen. I was in my own little world just thinking of how stupid I am to think that Harry could ever possibly look at me in the same way that I look at him.

"Jealous much" I heard a thick British voice; I turn to meet face to face with the one and only Zayn Malik.

"I'm not jealous" I glared at his dumb saying.

"Suuure" he extended the word.

"Zayn stop I'm not jealous" I repeated annoyed

"Okay calm down no need to get you panties on a twist" he raised his hands in surrender; I rolled my eyes at him. He chuckled and exited the kitchen; popping his head back into the room he smirked.

"He will find out soon you know" he winked and left; leaving me with my mouth wide open by his incredible intelligence of putting all the pieces together.
