As soon as we got home I couldn't control my smile. It didn't feel weird like so thought it would. I'm dating my best friend. I felt a little relieved and I have no idea why. I walked into the living room to see Harry watching some chick-flick on the telli. I gave him a weird look still not losing my grin and he just shrugged his shoulders and looked back to the screen.
"Wow, what's with the smile?" Harry asked as I walked into the living room, sitting on the couch next to him and swinging my feet over his lap.
"I can't smile?" I giggled a bit and he rolled his eyes.
"No you can smile it's just you barely ever do it. You usually mope around like a little vampire all the time. I was seriously starting to think you didn't have a soul." He said while shoving popcorn into his mouth. I hit him on the chest and then glared at him.
"I do to have soul!" I yelled. He rolled his eyes and I giggled once again at him. He reached over and muted the TV while looking over at me.
"Spill it." I giggled once again then shrugged my shoulders.
"I have no idea what your talking about."
"It's a boy isn't it?" I looked up at him in disbelief then relaxed a bit.
"No." I began to pick at my nail polish, a habit I've had since I was really little whenever I lied.
"Okay, your smiling, giggling, and picking at your nail polish. Who is it?" He crossed his arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow at me. I leaned my head back and let out a huge sigh.
"No one! Harry if you ask again I will call Louis and tell him to never come to our house again. Ever." He gave me a look of disbelief but let it slide. I could tell he was picking it up but I wasn't going to tell him about Niall. If I did he would tell Tanner and I really didn't need all that banter from him right now.
"So guess what?" Harry said while turning to me. I sighed and looked at him while rubbing my temples.
"What'd you break now curly?" I asked while sighing at the end. Harry was known for breaking things. A lot. He was super clumsy but I've sort of gotten used to it now.
"The window latch on the second floor and there's a hole in the wall in the bathroom behind the flower painting next to the sink but that's not what I needed to tell you." I looked up at him with "the look"
"I'm going to be on the X Factor! I signed up and everything this morning! They approved and I'm going to be on it! I'm going to be living my dream Em!" I jumped up and immediately attacked him with a huge hug making the popcorn fly everywhere. Harry was an amazing singer. He always said he wanted to audition for the X Factor but he never really had time for it since he was constantly working at the bakery.
"Ahh! Harold! I'm so happy for you!" I screamed. He smiled and thanked me as Niall ran into the room.
"What's going on in here?!" Niall yelled while looking at us then the popcorn.
"Harry is auditioning for the X Factor!" I told him with a huge grin on my face.
"That's great but I was talking about the popcorn! It's alright babies. Daddy's here." He said while scooping the popcorn off of the ground and shoving it into his lap, sneaking a few pieces in his mouth every so often. I gave him a look of disgust before returning back to Harry and I's earlier conversation.
"So have you told anyone else?" I asked while picking at my nail polish. Harry looked at me then my fingers then at Niall and back to me as a huge evil grin spread widely across his face.
"Nope, just you." He looked at Niall then back to me once more.
"I know Em, I know." I took a deep breath and started chipping off my nail polish like crazy.
"Niall, you mind If I have a chat with Emelia in private?" Niall looked over at Harry then shook his head while he continued to shove popcorn in his mouth. Gross.
Harry got up and I followed him to the kitchen. As soon as I shut the door he started attacking me with questions
"Who is it? I think I know. Is it Niall? How long have you two been dating? Where did he ask you out? Oh my god are you engaged? Omg! You and Niall are getting Married! That's why he moved in isn't it? Wait, are you pregnant? Don't tell me that little arse got my cousin pregnant. He's here for the baby isn't he? He got you pregnant!"
"Harry! Shut the hell up! Yes it's Niall. We just started dating today. He asked me to be his girlfriend at our photoshoot. No we are not engaged and I don't plan on us being engaged for a while. And no! I'm am not pregnant. And that's not the reason why he moved in." I said glaring up at him. Harry let out a sigh of relief but then a smirk crept into his face.
"I knew it." He huffed out crossing his arms and holding his head up high.
"Okay how did you even know we were dating in the first place?" I asked looking up into his eyes. Harry let out a small chuckle.
"Oh, sweet, sweet Emelia. It was so easy. You were giggly, smiling, chipping your nail polish when I asked you if you were dating someone and you said no which means you were lying. When Niall walked in the room you started chipping your nails again. Which means it was Niall. I just had to do a little thinking and putting two and two together but honestly you gave me the answer." I looked up at him and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed.
"Wow, nice work Sherlock." I said while patting his shoulder. He shrugged it off like it was no big deal.
"We can't tell Tanner. If he knew he'd blow up in my face. He would tell at me for dating his best friend. And if he was cool with it and me and Niall broke up you know he'd take Niall's side over mine. Great older brother I have right? Good think I have 2 more." I said as Harry chuckled.
"Well you and Niall are going to have to keep it on the down- low for a while." I dropped my smile and looked at Harry with threatening eyes and walked over to him slowly.
"Harry, what. Did. You. Do?" I asked sharply. He gulped a bit and looked at me nervously.
"You know how Tanner moved to Germany?" He asked while getting shaky. I nodded a bit.
"Well he's coming home for a month or two and didn't really have a place to stay at while he was visiting family and I thought, 'hey, Emelia and I are family and Niall is basically a 3rd brother to him, why not have him stay here?' And um, he kind of is. Staying here. For a month."
