You're a Mystery // zm

Chapter 5

Piper's POV

 I was nervous about going out with Zayn and his friends tonight but I was happy it wasnt only Zayn and I. I knew things were going to continue being a tad awkward, I mean his lips were inches from mine and I just ran out faster then you could say stop. I didnt really know why, I  just didnt. I knew it had to do with the past, I knew it had to do with my ex and the trust issues that lied there. I knew that it had to do with the fact that I only had one good friend in America that I trusted, that stuck by me. Because honestly, I was tired of  opening up only to be crushed. Why show feelings, why share feelings with someone when all they'll do in the end is leave? Because that's what they do right? Everyone leaves.

I put off getting ready for the longest time. I sat on the edge of my bed starring at the ground thinking about all the excuses. I was ready to go to Zayn's with so much makeup on that Iooked pale, so he would believe I was sick. But the thought that pulled me back, that actually made me want to go, was just thinking about Zayn and I on the roof. Just the way he communicated, how he would sneak glances at me and chuckle softly when I'd look over at him. How his touch was so warm on my arm, how his body heat radiated off right onto my body, rushing over me like a blanket of comfort. For some reason that made me want to go, I wanted to see him.

I stood infront of the mirror running my hands down the material of my dress. I smiled tilting my head admiring myself, for once feeling like I could stand out in a crowd in a positive way. The dress was a dark blue, sparkly strapless dress. It was tighter on the chest, pushing it up slightly. It came down to my knees and flowed down. My blonde hair was up in a bun, a bow bun. I had loose strands of hair at the side of my face that curled. I had small black heels on but even with heels on I didnt even reach a tall height. There was a heavy knock on the door twice making me look down the hall. I smiled and grabbed my black sparkly clutch then headed down the hall, my high heels echoing throughout the hall. I reached the front door and undid the latch then unlocked it, pulling it open. I was greeted with a smile and warm eyes, but not the ones I expected.

"Harry?" I asked raising one eyebrow. He nodded chuckling stepping forward slightly.

"Zayn sent me to get you, he was already on the side of town so he thought it would be easier if i just picked you up." He said putting his arm out and a slight bend.I smiled and stepped out, closing the door behind me and locking my arm in his.

"You look beautiful." He whispered in my ear making me blush.

"You sure it's not too much?" I asked looking up at him realizing I had to push my head back even farther back because he was so tall.

"You look perfect." He said smiling down at me making me blush yet again. We reached the elevator and I pressed the button. I faintly heard him mumble something, too quiet for me to hear. I looked over at him and he just smiled at me before looking away. We stepped in the elevator and he pressed the P before the elevator door closed.

"Are you sure it's okay that we are here?" I asked looking over the dashboard to the crowd of people all infront of the club, half of them being paparazzi that had cameras pointed at me. I was already blinded from the flashes.

"Of course it is, they're all here because we are!" He said unbuckling his seat belt and reaching for his door handle. I put my hand on his arm making him look back over at me.

"Well arent rumors going to start?" I asked making him chuckle and shrug.

"Probably." He said. "Let them." He added. I raised on eyebrow and he chuckled leaning over and unbuckling my seat belt.

"Come on." He said making me nod. I opened my door and stepped out carefully, the cold wind whisping around me. I closed the door and met Harry at the front of the car. He smiled and put his hand on my back pushing me towards the club. Cameras continued flashing making my eyes go weird.
