LET'S BET (Harry & Niall FF)

chapter 2

“Hi”, I say to Harry and Niall, who already sit on a table. “This is Lucy”, I introduce my friend and point at her. Harry and Niall look even more beautiful as they did this morning. Harry’s beautiful brown curls lay perfect above his pretty face. Niall now has a quiff, this morning his hair was flat. The quiff makes him hotter, I think.

“Hi Lucy”, Harry says, “I’m Harry and this is Niall” Lucy smiles at them and we sit down on the chairs. Niall looks a bit angry, because Harry didn’t give him the change to introduce himself.

During the evening I get to know them better and they me. They tell me, they were both 19. Niall is completely different as I expected. He’s very funny and laughs very often. Although he is shy, you can have much fun with him. Harry is also very funny. In my opinion he tries to act like the mysterious and “hard to get” one. I don’t know if he only acts like this or if this is really him, but this makes him even more attractive and more interesting for me.

“What are your hobbies?”, Harry asks very interested and leans his elbow on the table which holds his head. He looks deeply into my eyes, which makes the butterflies in my stomach get alive. I smile. “I dance”, I say embarrasses and smile. Harry gives me an impressed look. “Really, what type of dancing?”, Niall barges in. “Ballet”, I say to him. Harry looks even more impressed. “That’s great. Can I watch you sometime?”, Harry asks. I shake my head and smile embarrassed. “That would be embarrassing”, I say. “Why, aren’t you good?”, Niall asks and laughs. Before I can say something, Lucy interrupts me. “She is great. The best out of her group. When they have a performance, she is the one who gets the most solos. She eclipses all the other dancers, trust me” I give her an angry look. “So, what about you, what do you like to do in your free time?”, I try to divert from my ballet talent. “I play the guitar and I like football pretty much”, Niall says. “I like tennis and boxing” I never expected Harry playing tennis. In my opinion boxing fits very much to him. I expected something like this, because he has a very good and trained body.

The time passes very fast, because we all have much fun. It’s like I know them for years, but actually I know them for less than a day. Everytime Harry looks at me I get those butterflies in my stomach. I don’t know him for long, but I like him.

“What time is it?”, I ask Lucy who directly looks at her mobile. At the same time, Harry pulls his pullover up his arm and takes a look at his watch. “9.45”, he says with his deeply voice. I like his voice very much. He talks very slowly and deeply, which makes his voice even more attractive. And he has a very beautiful mouth which moves hotly when he talks. Even more I like his dimples, which appear when he smiles his beautiful smile and when he laughs. This all plays in my head while Lucy talks to me. I hadn’t notice her talking to me before Harry began to laugh. “What?”, I say confused and turn my head to Lucy sitting next to me. Harry and Niall are laughing loudly about me, which makes my cheeks blush. “I asked you, if we maybe should go now. I mean, it’s school tomorrow.” I nod my head. “Yes, maybe we should go. Would this be okay for you?” My head turns first to Harry, then to Niall. They both nod. “We could take you home. We came with my car”, Harry offers us with a bright smile. I look at Lucy, who nods her head, so we take the offer. “Let’s go” Niall says.  I take my bag and my jacket and stand up. Harry brings us to his car. He has a black Volvo. Harry opens the boot lid to put our jackets and bags in it. Then he opens the back door for us. I whisper a quick thank you and get into the car. I feel a big hand on my hip helping me to get in. When I sit down, I give Harry a bright, shy smile. His dimples appear on his face before he closes the door. Niall already sits on the front seat and looks above his shoulder to me. I smile at him. When Harry came in, Niall suddenly looks to him. I do too.

During the ride, Harry asks us for our addresses and then asks what we would like to hear in the radio. I was the one who lived the farest away. I look around in the car while Harry and Niall were talking about a boy named Logan. Harry’s car is very clean. The seats are leather. In the door box on my left was an empty bottle of Cola and a book.

Only now I had a perfect chance to watch him, because he was busy talking to Niall. I take a look at his perfect brown curls which cover his head, his lips and his tongue wetting them, his nose, which is by the way perfect to. Suddenly he laughs and his white teeth appear, his dimples do so too. How can a person be as perfect as he is?, I ask myself. At the same second I shake my head. I shouldn’t think about things like this. I mean, he is 19 and I’m 16. What does he want from me? For him I’m a kid.

Harry stops the car. Niall opens his belt and opens the door. He looks to the back seats. “Bye”, he says with a bright smile on his face. “I’ll text you” I nod and repeat his bye. Lucy does so too. Now I recognise Niall beauty. His hair and his eyes just look amazing. Then he walks away. I try to see something through the shadowed pane, but I can’t. The only thing I see is Niall’s blonde quiff.

After a few minutes Harry stops the second time and Lucy opens her belt. “Bye Beth” she says and hugs me. “See you tomorrow”, I say to her, when she stands up.

“I could walk from here to my house. It’s only ten minutes”, I say to Harry and lean a bit forward, so that he can hear me better. He turns his head around and looks me in the eyes. “It’s no problem for me to drive you home” I shrug with my shoulders. “Okay” I say and lean back into the seat. “

Lucy is still fighting with the boot, because she can’t open it. “Harry, how do I get the boot open?”, she shouts. Harry pushes a button and suddenly I feel the wind in my back. Harry goes to Lucy and gives her her bag and her jacket. I turn around to watch them. Harry looks at me and bewitches me with his smile. “Bye, Beth”, Lucy says for the second time. Then he looks at Harry. “Bye”. She walks away. Harry closes the boot and opens my door. I am confused. “Don’t you want to come to the front?”, he asks and smiles at me. I open my belt and sit down next to Harry. I look at Harry while he is driving. He looks very concentrated. I laugh. “What?”, Harry says and shows his teeth. “You look funny when you drive”, I say shyly and laugh. Harry joins my laugh. “Just because you aren’t allowed to drive yet.”, he teases me. I make a sad face and laugh afterwards. “Why Beth?”, Harry says and takes a quick look at me, then back on the street. “What?” I don’t know what he means. “Why Beth?”, he repeats. “Why does Lucy calls you like this?” I laugh. “It’s the short form from Bethany. Almost everybody calls me like this” “I won’t”, Harry says and his dimples appear. “Why?” “Because I like Bethany more. I think it’s a cute name” I laugh. “Okay. I don’t like my name pretty much.” Harry takes another quick look at me. “Why?”, he asks. “I don’t know. I think it sounds a bit weird.” Harry shakes his head. “It’s a cute name. Like you” I smile insecurely.

“Turn left here”, I say to him. “It’s here.”, I say and Harry stops the car. I get off the car. Harry does so to after he pushed the button for the boot. I fetch my bag and my jacket. Harry comes to the back of the car and closes the boot. He smiles at me. I smile back. Harry is very tall, like ten centimetres taller than me. I look up to him. “Thanks for the nice evening”, he says. I nod my head. “Yes, it was very great” “Maybe we could repeat it. But just you and me” I nod again. “Yes”, I say, hypnotized by his eyes. “Cool”, he answers and his smile brightens up. I put my hair behind my ear and look to the ground. “I should go now”, I say and point at my house. Harry nods. “Maybe we could go out on Friday. We could go to the cinema or in a restaurant”, he talks very slowly, as usual. “Would be great”, I say. “Okay. Bye Bethany” “Bye Harry”, I answer; turn around and smile. Before I open the front door, I take a last look back to the mysterious Harry, who now sits in his car. He catches my look and waves his hand before he starts his car.
