I can't take it anymore though, I hate seeing Niall all sad and hate having Blair taking up Harry's time when I want to be. He keeps sending me looks as if to help but I don't know how. It's too stressful. I walk out of the bathroom, Blair quickly walking ahead of me. When we reach the table Niall jumps up and pulls out Blair's seat for her. She sends him a smile and sits. Harry stands up going to pull mine out but I grab his arm to stop him.
"I really need to go actually, babysitting starts soon." I send a 'it's time we both leave' look and he nods.
"Yeah I need to get going anyways, Nan can't wait forever." He pushes our chairs in and walks over to Niall and whispers something in his ear before pulling him into a total bro side hug thing that guys do. I wave to Niall and Blair and Harry leads us out of the restaurant.
When we get outside Harry starts talking about how terrible that was and how it didn't work at all when we hear Niall frantically run up behind us.
"Guys, I can't sit there alone with her. She's totally bored with just me there and I'm fuckin messin up, I am!" He slams his hands on his face groaning.
I put my hands on his shoulders, "Niall, stop. Everything is fine, you're acting like you haven't been friends with Blair for a long time. You know this girl, she knows you. It's going to be fine, just be yourself."
"She's right Niall, just be yourself and she will love you." Harry adds.
"Easy for you to say." Niall scoffs rolling his eyes at Harry. I hit his shoulders and glare at him, Harry hasn't done anything wrong and he knows it.
"Mate, just go back in there. That girl is all alone waiting for you! Don't do that to her, go!" He pushes him lightly and Niall obliges slumping back inside.
Harry and I get in the car and he continues to tell me about how he tried and tried and I told him I understood. But he still feels like shit because Niall had the saddest look on his face and there was nothing either of us could do about it.

Ni-Ho👱: Can I Skype you and Harry right now?
Me: Depends on if you can get Harry's Skype info or not and call him.
Ni-Ho👱: Got it, get on, I'm calling you.
I pull out my laptop to find Niall's Skype name pop up and the annoying tone that goes along with it. Before I click the "Answer" button I look in the mirror and fix my hair up and face to look okay since Harry will be on as well. Gosh why do I try for this man?
I shake my head and click it and Niall and Harry's beautiful face loads on my screen. Harry's hair looks freshly washed and he's shirtless, I found my new weakness. Hot showered Harry. His face instantly turns into a smile when I pop up, "There she is!"
"Here I am." I throw my hand up mockingly fluffing my hair like I'm the shit. Ah who am I kidding, of course I am. Jk.
"So Niall, tell us. How did the rest of the night go?!" I exclaim turning my eyes towards his tiny screen.
"Well," he starts sighing, "We are still on square one I think, but we did have a really good time! I just can't tell if it's as friends or as something more, which absolutely blows."
"Ugh, square one definitely blows." I repeat averting my eyes towards Harry's screen in a glare that he can't tell is for him. "But I'm glad you had a great time, that is a step! It doesn't have to be fast Ni." I reassure him and he smiles, "You're right. I'm proud of how it went after you guys left."
"Little offended, but happy for you bro." Harry says dryly laughing.
Niall tells us about the things that happened with him and Blair. The random cute moments they had, the times where he couldn't stop staring at her even though he tried, the laughs they shared and how he just kept taking in her complete beauty.
"Niall, you're so sweet. You make me want to date you gosh." I say, joking of course about the dating thing. I wouldn't date Niall he's my best friend, I don't like him like that.
"No." Harry says shaking his head.
"I was kidding Harry, he's my best friend, I don't like him like that, sorry Niall." I chuckle lightly and Niall does the same, "No biggie, I love you like a sister, so same here. Plus I got Blair in my future right now."
Harry and I awe in unison at Niall's comment. We talk a little more before Niall says he has to get up early tomorrow for a job with his dad. The pressure builds, do I get off too? Harry is going to get off right? He wouldn't just sit and talk to me on here, he would think that's weird.
Niall doesn't even give me much time to think because he's ended his call within the next five seconds and me and Harry are left staring at each other from two different places.
"So, Jasmine." His sleepy voice speaks up making my stomach do flips.
"Yeah?"
"I just wanted to tell you again, that you looked really beautiful tonight."
"T-thank you." My cheeks flood pink again, why is he being so charming?
"No problem, and you do right now as well." He adds and my mouth drops. What? Has he seen me right now? I'm in a old t-shirt that was my dads, and striped pajama shorts with my hair thrown all over the place and makeup still left over from earlier. I'm a hot mess and he's crazy.
"You're mental. I look homeless right now."
It's his turn for his mouth to drop open, "What? You're the crazy one. You look amazing."
My cheeks burn red, "Stop Harry."
"No, I'm serious. Hey you want to come over tomorrow?" He asks. "To work on the project of course." He quickly adds making my heart sink. I thought he just wanted to hang out with me for fun, but guess not.
"Yeah, sounds okay."
"Great, see you around noon?"
"Noon? That barely gives me time to sleep in." I complain. Who does this guy think he is? Sleep is a precious thing, I plan on getting up at twelve.
He chuckles, "Fine, one?"
"Ugh, that works."
"Great, okay goodnight Jasmine."
"Goodnight Harry."
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
"Maybe Goodnight will be our always." Harry says and we both start cracking up. Oh my gosh, what a charmer he is.
"Great reference. Goodnight for real this time." I say closing the laptop halfway as he says goodnight to pretend I was really going to sleep. Pssh funny Harry, I'm a night owl.
"Why me?" I groan throwing my head back on my pillow.
"Why me what?" I hear from my computer scaring me half to death. I quickly lift up the laptop to see Harry still there with a confused look on his face.
