Same Mistakes (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 37 : Never Go Gentle

Recap:

"Spill the beans Styles, what are you here for?" My palms were starting to sweat as he asked the question. It was really obvious but maybe I should wait. Let the shit out to someone Styles! Umm.. Well, not shit anyway.

"I want to propose to Nicole." I tried to pull my curls through the itchy wig.

It was the next day when I had told Niall of my intentions, he told me to wait for the spotlight but I was getting nervous as time ticked by. We had been called to the studios that morning, to rehearse for some of our upcoming performances.

There wasn't peep from Nicole or Jere after Louis took her to El, apparently she had gone to her own appartment from there but she didn't call me.

"Hmm.. Yeah, who else is going?" I asked Liam who was particularly bored and wanted to go somewhere.

"Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, I'd say but we haven't decided on where to go?" Liam retorted which gave me an idea.

"How about the theatre? Last I'd heard there have been good ones this month." I smiled.

"Thats a good idea. Eleanor had been asking me but now I guess we can all go." Louis came from behind me.

"Well.. then its decided, yeah? We'll meet up at... around eight and I'll book the tickets online." Niall interjected.

"Sure thing... my place or maybe Nicole's. That one's nearer." Zayn suggested.

We all agreed on it and dispersed to our nests. I was in an unusually good mood, maybe it was because of the fact that all the boys had listened to me. I wanted so much to speak to Nicole but she wasn't answering any of my calls but Louis told me, he had been with her and Eleanor but that didn't make my calls forgettable or unanswerable.

"Dammit! Nicole! Answer the bloody phone!" I shouted into the phone which after a few lines went dead once again.

"She might be at college mate. Stop fussing and join me for the snack." Louis was just the opposite of understanding sometimes. I knew she was playing the game but what game was she playing when I had surrendered.

But who was to explain to that girl? All my good mood was turning into nervousness, as if my chance of proposing any time soon was fading.

***

At exact 7.45, we left the appartment and I was more than anxious to meet my love.

Louis was driving, I looked out the window through the tinted windows of the Audi. The city of London waved past me and before I knew it, we were at Nicole's appartment. My palms started sweating, it was not that I was going to do it now but the fear of refusal just made me nervous than hell.

I climbed up the steps to the door. Louis was walking as casually as a cat, he even whistled, making me think what was making him so happy but then he was always cheery.

"Ehem!" Nicole cleared her throat, I hadn't noticed that we were on her floor and she had already opened the door.

"Uh... hi." I ducked into the small appartment. Nicole looked exhausted but she was still grinning.

"Hello..." her voice was merely a whisper but seductive.

"So what movie are we watching?" I tried to keep my mind distracted, seating myself on the couch beside Niall, the others were not there yet.

"Safe Haven. Its everything I like in a movie, romance, thriller and mystery. Though I haven't seen it, it appears good. Right Harry?" Nicole and Louis were staring at us with wide eyes as soon as Niall mentioned the word 'romance'.
