Hidden Love

Chapter 5

I looked in the mirror, inspecting my image.

Brown hair slightly gelled, green eyes full of admiration, bowtie slightly crooked. "You've done it again Tommo" I smiled, complimenting myself.

I was extremely excited to see Eleanor. Something about her was just so...different from the other girls.

I left my room, and waved by to the boys. I made sure to text Eleanor to say I was on my way. We were having dinner in Niall and Zayns dorm, only because they begged me to. That and they had a better chance of spying on us.

So excited! Can't wait to see you :)x

A minute later I got a reply.

Yay! Already here, Liam and Harry came tho :/ they said they'd help with dinner but they probably want to spy on us. Waiting by the door. They want us both to be there before we come in. Xx

Wow! Going through this much trouble. I can always count on my friends.

I finally reached, and when I did I'm sure my jaw dropped 6 feet below.

Eleanor's hair was up in a messy bun and she was wearing a beautiful white dress with that came just above her knees, accompanied with a thin brown belt around her waist.

"W-Wow you look...amazing" I breathed. Eleanor giggled. "You look great too" she returned the compliment holding her hand out. I reached for it, and when we touched I could feel sparks. I think she could feel it too because she started blushing.

"Guys are you done?" I called from outside the door"

"Uhhhhhh. Wait! Harry put the vase there! No there. Ugh fine I'll do it myself!!!" was Liam's reply. After a few seconds the door opened and there stood Zayn in a waiter vest. "Hello, please come in" he escorted us.

The room was lit up with several candles and in the middle of the the table was a beautiful vase of flowers. The napkins were folded in triangles and they had put fine china for us to eat on

As me and Eleanor walked over to the table, I pulled out the chair for her to sit. "Thank You" she smiled. I say in my chair and took a sip of water as the boys served up pasta and chicken. I took another sip of water, and then three more. Eleanor was awkwardly playing with her bracelet. I took a deep sigh due to the boys staring at us like statutes at a museum. "Lads, you can leave now" I dismissed them.

"Oh right! Yeah ok let's go guys" Harry informed the others leading them out. The door shut and now it was just me and Eleanor.

I fidgeted with my napkin. The awkward silence was killing me.

"So, uh Eleanor what are you studying" I asked

"Politics and Sociology" she smiled. "I always found the two subjects really intresting. What about you?"

"Mostly economics and biology"

Eleanor nodded.

She took out the hair piece that secured her bun and shook out the most beautiful hair I had ever seen. I inspected the waves of brown hair that lay on her shoulders, the ends ombré. Her plump pink lips came to her glass of water and she took a small sip. She was like an angel. She was so delicate and small and I was breath taken.
