The Brightest Dark (Harry Styles) BOOK 1

Chapter 5

*Dorm Room*

"Can you hand me another picture?" I ask Damon.

My feet stand on my bed as I hang pictures on the string. So far I've got the lights fixed and one full string of pictures done. I have 2 strings left under the 1st and hanging up two of my favorite drawings on the wall.

The front door opens with Evie's small figure in the frame. She walks happily inside ad stops as she sees Damon and I.

"Boyfriend?" She points at him.

"Ya, he came to help me," I giggle.

"Nice to finally meet you, I'm Evie. Lina's roommate," she smiles happily.

"Good to meet you," he nods smiling.

"Lina I wanted to let you know that there's another frat party tonight and wanted to see if you wanted to go," she implies.

"No, I'm-"

"You should go, it'll be fun," Damon interrupts me.

He raises his eyebrows at me as a signal. Damn it I didn't really think he wanted me to actually go through with this plan.

"Okay, I'll go," I nod.

"Oh, Damon if you want to come you're totally welcome!" She squeals.

"Thanks, but I have a meeting to get to tonight," he lies.

"Alright! Well I'll see you tonight Lina! Text me when you get there!" She grabs a bag full of clothes and makeup.

"Okay, see you!" I yell as she closes the door behind her.

"I don't want to go!" I whine.

"Too bad, you're going. And I'll be there, well metaphorically speaking," he chuckles.

"But what about the devices? Can we get them before the party?" I ask.

"No, Liam's out today. He's in Orange County, but I can be on the phone with you," he shrugs.

"I don't know..." I look down.

"Hey it'll be fine," he rubs my arm.

"Hopefully," I whisper.

"You'll be great, if anything happens I'll come and beat up anyone," he jokes.

Except Harry, I think to myself.

"Now, let's pick an outfit for you," he smirks.

"No! You're not helping!" I try to tackle him.

He throws me back on the bed and runs to the closet. The first thing he pulls out are my booty shorts. I roll my eyes as I sit up on my elbows watching him. Then he pulls out my black cropped halter top.

"Are you trying to get me raped?" My eyes widen.

"Oh come on, it's not that bad," he looks at them.

"If I'm wearing a halter top, I'm wearing my black jeans with it," I say.

"Fine, just try to look very sexy," he gives me his winning smile.

I swear if he weren't my boyfriend right now, I would think he's trying to sell me off.

"So I don't look sexy usually?" I cross my arms.

"Well, you look beautiful all the time, but only sexy when you're in your panties and bra,"he teases.

"Thanks," I roll my eyes.

I grab the clothes from him and walk to the bathroom to put them on. It's been a while since I've worn my halter top, but it fits perfectly still. I slip on my high waisted skinny jeans from Urban Outfitters.
