"Can you straighten it faster please? They will be here any minute!"
"Would you shut the hell up I'm almost done, just making it extra straight." I defend gliding the straightener down her blonde hair.
"You did yours in less than twenty minutes, why does mine take like half an hour?" She complains as she starts to pick her newly painted nails. I scold her for picking the nails I slaved for (not really) and set the straightener down.
"That's because I wanded my hair and it's a completely different thing. Besides, it's only been ten minutes for you."
She scoffs and leans closer to the mirror, her green dress really does compliment her features and makes the green flecks in her blue eyes stick out even more. I stand away from the mirror suddenly getting insecure about my boring brown hair and hazel eyes with the freckles dotting my pale but mostly red cheeks.
A knock erupts from the door making me switch back to reality from my insecure thoughts. I look at Blair who is excitedly jumping up and down before quickly fixing herself in the mirror one last time. I run over with her just to check everything out, my insecurities still try to push through, but I have to admit, I feel really pretty.
I leave the mirror and brush past Blair to open the front door downstairs. I realize she isn't behind me and I swing back in the doorway, "Aren't you coming?"
"I have to make the grand staircase entrance duh." She says laughing, but I just give her a sarcastic thumbs up and roll my eyes on the way down.
I open the door and there they are, "Look at these two handsome men standing at my door. Are you sure you're at the right house?" I jokingly ask, checking the surroundings.
They both look at me with mouths open which makes me feel, dare I say it, absolutely beautiful. I did and it felt weird since that's not common.
Niall speaks up first, "Wow Jasmine, you look great." My cheeks flush pink and I smile and thank him. Harry doesn't move on the doorstep as Niall makes his way inside.
"Jasmine, you look absolutely stunningly beautiful." He says totally checking me out which makes butterflies form in my stomach.
"Thank you." I manage smiling and avoiding his eyes. My cheeks are now a form of red but I don't care because he just said I looked stunningly beautiful and that's enough for me.
"I mean really, beautiful. Like always of course." He adds lifting my chin up with his finger which takes me by surprise.
"T-thank you Harry." I gulp, another moment where his face is so close to mine that if I moved only inches closer we'd be kissing.
"Where's Blair?" Niall's voice asks from behind me making me and Harry jump.
"Uh, she's upstairs, I'll get her." I turn around quickly leaving Harry at the doorstep awkwardly looking at the ground from the moment we just had.
I walk up the stairs and find Blair already at my door waiting to walk down. She brushes past me and walks down slowly as if we are in a movie.
Niall's mouth drops open, which is adorable, as soon as he sees Blair. I walk down behind her and try not to roll my eyes at her slow speed. I look at Harry who is looking at me with a wide smile which makes my heart stop. His eyes don't leave me as I'm trailing behind Blair.
When Blair gets to the bottom she starts walking over to Harry but I quickly step in front of her and give her a bump towards Niall. I overhear Niall complimenting her and look over to see her smiling and blushing which makes me happy. That's a good sign.
I keep walking getting distracted by Blair and Niall's cute moment and accidentally bump into Harry's broad chest.
"Sorry" I say quickly putting my hands on his chest to push myself off but he wraps his arms around me keeping me close causing a gasp to escape my mouth.
"It's all good Jaz." He breath tickles my ear. I close my eyes and shiver because of his warm minty breath so close to my ear. I quickly realize how badly I need to separate from Harry for Blair's sake. Even though we are trying to set her up with Niall, I still don't want to hurt her without anything happening between them yet.
I break from his arms and look towards Blair and Niall who are thankfully still talking and smiling from ear to ear at each other. Then Blair meets my eyes and walks to Harry, leaving Niall alone with a sudden sad expression.
"Well, let's go." I say opening my door and shoving Niall out. Blair walks out after him and Harry follows slowly just having his eyes bore into mine before passing me. Gosh I'm always the one to ruin the moment and now we both feel awkward about it.
Harry says he will go in his own car, and urges Niall and Blair to go in Niall's car and me to come with him which earns me a confused glare from Blair that I try to avoid.
Once seated in the restaurant I'm sat across from Harry and sitting next to Blair who is sat across from Niall. Typical date seating but me and Harry are on a fake date to be support for Niall, but oh how real I wish it was.
Blair keeps trying to talk to Harry while talking to Niall very little. I receive several glares from Niall and I send him apologetic looks knowing this is not what he had in mind.
Harry keeps trying to avert the conversation towards Niall in a way and keeps bringing him into it which gets him included but Blair doesn't seem to be interested no matter what with Harry right there. Totally killing Niall inside you can see it on his face, and that only breaks my heart for him.
Harry keeps looking at me as if to help him somehow to make her stop talking to him but everything I say is no use. I decide to take Blair away from the table to go to the ladies room.
"I think we just took our first big step in our relationship." Blair says bursting through the bathroom door. I let out a loud sigh, she's delusional.
"Blair, I don't think that's what's going on."
"What? Yes that is what's going on. He keeps smiling at me and making me feel all bubbly inside." She gushes leaning against the sink fixing her non messed up hair and retouching her lip gloss.
I don't even know what to say back to her. I don't want to crush her hopes, I feel horrible doing that. She just has a crush, I can't force her to like Niall and ignore Harry. Plus I can't blow Niall's cover without knowing for sure what's going on in her mind. But I also really like Harry. Boo. I hate the situation I'm in.
