Erm... So... Basically (One Direction Fan Fic)

Chapter 8

Harry’s POV

    I sat on the couch in the hotel room next to Liam while he watched the newest episode of America’s got talent. I wasn’t really focused on the show, I couldn’t help but wonder how Marilyn and Niall’s “date” went. I knew he had taken her to the studio to record a song with him… I bet she sounded amazing. He texted Liam about 10 minutes ago saying he was on his way back, so I was planning on asking him how it went.

    I sat on the couch kneeing my leg up and down out of nervousness. I wondered if he kissed her… I bet he did. Frikin Niall.

“You okay…?” Liam said, he looked at me like I had just done something very strange.

“Just perfect.” I responded sarcastically. Liam shrugged his shoulders and mouthed “okay” as if he was definitely not convinced.

Louis walked into the room grinning as far as the eye could see, he sat in the middle of Liam and I and put his arms around the both of us. He and Lyla really hit it off today, he liked her a lot. I guess they both got in an incident where they were cornered by a paparazzi and instead of blanking, she did “sophisticated” poses. Louis said that’s when she stole his heart.

No one knows Marilyn and I hung out today, and I doubt she told Niall. Honestly this was one of the funnest days I’ve had in a long time, and I was secretly hoping she enjoyed hanging out with me as much as I did with her… but I knew she liked Niall. Yet, I couldn’t help but think about how she fell asleep on me today…

“You don’t mind if I take a nap, do you Harry?” she asked me. Her blue green eyes looking up at me with such innocence.

“Ah not at all. I might too.” I answered her. I tried to act cool with her, like I usually can with girls, but for some reason she made me really nervous.

She layed her head upon the sand and closed her eyes, I was looking out into the ocean until I noticed her breathing was steady, she was asleep. I looked down at her and smiled, she was stunning.

    Joining her, I lied my head down and turned to face her. I looked at her for a minute, examining the shape of her lips, and how long her eyelashes were. Too cute.

    All of a sudden she rolled over to where she was holding the side of me, and her head nudged into the side of my chest. I was taken back for a moment and didn’t know what to do, I could have just left her like that, or pushed her off… but I really liked the feeling of her holding me. No one needed to know about this, it was just harmless napping… right?

    So I let her stay there, cuddled into me… I was cuddled into her a bit too.

When she woke me up I was a little flustered and didn’t know what exactly was happening. I just remember her rambling about me taking her back to the hotel. Cool. I sat up to answer her but her long brown hair was in her face, beautifully scattered and falling perfectly, but I moved it away and behind her ears so I could properly see her face. She looked me in the eyes and I felt my heart stop and I lost oxygen, I’m pretty sure.

    I took all of my might to find a response, but finally I spit it out that I could drive her back. I don’t know what it was about Marilyn, but I really believed in her. From the first time she sang “It’s gotta be you” I could see her drive and passion. She’s just so cute and bright too. When I first saw her in the van, I by passed her a little and mocked her and Niall because I knew if I hadn’t done that, I would have been staring at her like a creep. Basically though, I just yearned to learn more about her, I still do. She’s different than the other girls. She’s real. I can tell because I barely know her, but it shows so clearly.
