Chapter 1: Jealousy?
Liam, Niall, Danielle, Susan, and Harry were hanging out at Harry’s flat waiting on Zayn, Perrie, Eleanor, and Louis so that they could all go to the studio and hear the tracks for the boys new album. As they all waited in the living room, Harry felt his phone vibrate in his left inside pocket of his blazer. It was a text message. He checked to see who it was from but did not recognize the number. He opened it anyways, maybe he would find out by the text.
“Huh,” Harry said as he read the text message he received, not knowing how the person got his number.
“What is it?” Susan asked confused by his reaction. Everyone was wondering what made Harry, as well as Susan, confused.
“Lizbeth just texted me saying that she is coming to London for the summer.”
“Lizbeth is coming here, to London?” Niall asked surprised.
“Who’s Lizbeth?” Susan asked with more confusion on her face as well as with worry in her eyes. Apparently the boys knew who she was. Susan was wondering if Lizbeth was an old girlfriend of Harry’s. Was she pretty? Did they go out long? For how long? Where had she moved that she was coming back? Will Harry fall back in love with Lizbeth and leave her? All of these questions were running through Susan’s mind as she waited on Harry’s, or any of the boys, response to her question.
“She’s just an old friend from grade school. I haven’t heard from her since she moved to France a few months before the X Factor live shows.” Harry explained as he saw that Susan was feeling insecure about Lizbeth. He knew somehow that she was thinking the worst. He could felt her curl up in a protective way trying to keep calm. “You don’t have to worry about anything love.” He whispered in her ear. Susan then relaxed in Harry’s arms.
“What did she text you for besides telling you she was coming back?” Liam asked from across the room. He was sitting in a love seat with Danielle, whose feet were laying on his lap.
“Well all she texted was that she was coming back to London for the summer and hopes that we can meet so we can catch up.”
“Catch up on what?” Louis asked as he, Zayn, and Perrie walked in the living room.
“About time you guys got here. We’ve been waiting on you guys for an hour and a half.” Liam scowled, at the boys mainly.
“Yeah, you guys took so long that now I’m hungry. We might have to stop at Nando’s on the way to the studio.” Niall said as he came into the room from the kitchen.
“When are you not hungry. In fact you’re eating a sandwich right now.” Zayn pointed out.
“It’s called an appetizer.” Niall said with a mouth full.
“Anyways, to answer your question Lou, Lizbeth is coming back to London and wants to catch up with Harry.” Liam answered.
“Wow, haven’t heard from her in a very long time. What could she possibly want to catch up on?” Louis wondered as he sat on the sofa that was in front of the two love seats, where the other two couples sat. Niall went to sit next to him as he finished his sandwich. Zayn and Perrie were already sitting down on the sofa.
“I don’t know, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard from her. I don’t even know how she got my number.” Harry said as he texted Lizbeth back asking her how she got his number and when she will be arriving.
“Are you texting her back?” Susan asked with a hint of anger in her voice as she saw him on his phone.
“Yeah, just want to know how she got my number and when she is coming.”
“It looks like someone’s jealous!” Louis teased. Susan looked at him with a look that made it obvious.
“No I’m not” she said trying to keep her cool. But Louis being the big brother figure kept pushing her buttons.
“Yes you are, I can see it in your eyes.” Lou made the gesture with his fingers going from his blue eyes to her bluish-green ones.
“No I’m not Lou.” She said once again but this time everyone heard that she clearly was jealous and smiled.
“Aww your jealous!!!” Harry said in a sweet teasing voice that made her blush more than she already was. “You know, jealousy suits you so beautifully.” He told her as he reached for her chin to make her look at him in the eyes. Then he kissed her softly.
As Harry kissed Susan, Danielle wondered where Eleanor was. “Hey Lou, where’s El? Thought she was coming with you.”
“She had a last minute call to fill in for a coworker. She’s gonna be late.” Once everyone was settled and ready to go, the boys all got in Harry’s car and the girls got in Danielle’s. Then they set off to the studio the girls following the boys as they past the fans and paparazzi.
