Settle down

Chapter 47

Lola's P.O.V

We decided on watching The Hangover and we are all sitting on the mattresses on the floor. Sally is on one edge and Paul on the other. Of course Niall is next to Sally which means that I once again is next to Paul. 10 minutes into the movie my phone gives off a little sound that tells me I have got a text. I get my phone out from my pocket and open the text to read it.

Lola, can you please get out of my head. The text says and I smile at my phone like a dork, but I do try to be somewhat desecrate.

"Oh miss popular huh? Who are texting you all the time?" Sally asks and I stiffen. I can tell she is curious and I want to tell her, but at the same time I don't want to... I know for sure that I'm not going to tell them while Niall and Paul are here.

"What? No one!?" I say as I feel my face heating up and turning a light shade of pink. Sally gives me a weak grin and winks at me. Does she know? She's gonna hunt me for details later. When I turn my head back to the TV I see that Paul is trying to peek at my phone. I quickly press it too my chest and look at him, he pretends that he didn't just look at my phone. I hope he didn't see who and what the text said. I turn the sound off and tries to reply without Paul seeing anything.

I'm very sorry, but I can't control that ;) I send it and just after I wonder if the wink face was too much. I decide to not think too much about it and so I put the phone away and watch the movie. 

Another few minutes pass and I see Niall and Sally intertwining their hands beside me. I sense that Paul saw it too because he moves closer to me. If he thinks that he will get any action with me whatsoever he is heavily messed up. As if Harry could read minds he texts right in that moment.

Are there guys there? He asks. I feel a need to look out the window and see if he's spying on me... Or maybe it's just his jealous self. I use my elbow to push Paul away from me as I type in a reply.

I've told you that Sally has a guy here already. I send as a respond. It's not a lie, but it's not entirely the truth either. As I lock my phone I feel Paul's eyes burning into me. I really do want to snap at him. I want to tell him off that he cannot look at me and he should most definitely not touch me and try to look at my phone. The only reason I don't is Sally. I don't want to cause a scene because I know that that would get Niall all worked up and he would probably kick Paul out. That does actually sound nice, but this is not about me.

Are you with a guy? the next text reads. Does he know anything? I know I'm not doing anything wrong, but the fact that I'm hiding this from him makes it look like I'm doing something I shouldn't. But if I would tell him that I was with Paul he would get pissed at me and kill Paul so I don't see anyone winning by telling him the truth.

 Are you jealous Harry? I ask instead of answering the question. I know that Harry's ego is almost as big as his jealousy so if I can make it sound like he's being a jealous boyfriend he'll stop focusing on actually being jealous. I feel very smart right now. As soon as the text is delivered I see that he's read it. Seconds later my phone vibrates and a new text is to be read.

I wouldn't have to be jealous if you would let me come and get you. I want to. I want to so bad. Deep down I know that Sally would let me leave, but maybe I'm afraid of what would happen if I did leave. What would happen between Harry and I? I've never really hung out with Harry without being pissed at him and the fact that I've been mad have stopped me from doing things that I haven't ever thought of doing before I met Harry. Thinking about this makes my head hurt slightly and I suddenly realize how tired I am.

I'm going to sleep now. I reply and then I tuck my phone away. I feel my eyes getting heavy and I close them. I feel my phone vibrating, but I don't respond this time. I drift off to sleep and leave everyone else in the room behind.

.......

When I wake up I have a few seconds of confusion where I sit up and wonder where the hell I am and why I'm not alone in the bed, but memories from last night quickly come back to me and so I know where I am and why. I look around the room and I see that Sally and I are laying in Sally's bed and Niall are sleeping on the mattresses on the floor. As I reach for my phone that's on Sally's desk I hear a voice that makes me jump.

"Finally someone's awake." Niall says with a low, tired morning voice. I turn around to look at him.

"Gosh Niall. You scared me." I whisper and hold one hand at my chest. He gives me a weak smile and I grab my phone.

"I've been awake for one hour already. I was starting to think you guys had died or something." He whispers back. His hair is all over the place and to be honest he looks very cute like that.

"Sorry about that. I usually don't sleep this long." I begin and then realize that we're missing one person. "Uhm... Where is Paul?" I ask and Niall laughs silently. 

"Well, after you fell asleep he said that he had a party to go to. So he left. Not that that bothered us that much anyway. It was actually nice to get some peace and quite." He says and puts his shirt on. I check the time and see that it's past 10. Niall and I decide to go downstairs to make some coffee and breakfast for the three of us while we wait for Sally to wake up. On my way downstairs I log onto my phone and type a text for my mother.

Morning mom. I'm awake now and I'll be coming home later today. Love Lola.

While doing that I also send a quick text to Harry and as I open our conversation I see that he has sent me a text that I haven't seen. It says Sleep tight. It must have been a response to my earlier text. Weird that it didn't show on my locked screen. Oh well. I quickly type Good morning :) and press send.
