Our Winter Love (Harry AU)

Chapter 7: Our Party Games

"Finally! What took you ladies so long??" Eddy calls out as we walk towards the sofa where the group is sitting.

Luckily this time there is no girl on Harry's lap and also no Harry.

"We kind of had to sneak out and bargain with siblings." Megan rolls her eyes before stepping into Eddy's arms. They're actually really cute together. The smile on Eddy's face as he hugs Megan tells me he definitely has some feelings for her.

"Hay Izzy." Zayn stands up from the sofa and walks towards me, suddenly wrapping his arms around my waist and giving me a long lingering hug.

I step back out of his arms before suddenly feeling another set of arms wrap around my waist from behind. Zayn's face suddenly becomes a firm straight line as he steps back towards the sofa.

I turn my head to the side to see none other than Harry with his head buried in my shoulder.

Once he's finished, I turn around to face him with a smile. I'll never understand how one time he's flirty and so sweet and other times he's reluctant and doesn't want to get closer. I still don't know what we are.

A frown is on his face, "Why are you so late?" He asks.

"My parents didn't want us to come. So we had to sneak out once they went to bed." He leads me over to the couch and gestures for me to take a seat next to him.

Harry raises his eyebrows at me, "Have you ever snuck out for a party before?"

A blush decides to make its way into my cheeks, "Ummm, no."

A wide grin takes up his face as he stretches his arm out around my shoulders. Butterflies make their way into my stomach at his gesture and I wait for him to speak again.

"So why this time?" He brings his bottom lip in between his teeth and looks into my eyes.

I'm so in a trance by his actions that I find myself completely speechless and don't even realize that I still haven't replied.

"Ummm, because I told you guys I was coming. So I had to come, yeah." I try recover.

Harry looks a bit hurt by my words, "Oh okay. Well I'm glad you did."

I smile at his words before looking around and realizing that we have formed part of a circle of people. This group included Eddy, Megan, Jody, Jade, Zayn and a bunch of other people, some I notice from the last party and others I've never seen before.

"Okay well since there are more of us now, let the games begin!" Jody announces from the opposite side of the circle.

I look to Harry in confusion, "Games?"

He doesn't reply but instead a smug grin appears on his face and he shoots me a quick wink before Jade starts to speak.

"So first let's go with the classic truth or dare. I'll start!"

My eyes widen and Harry seems to find my reaction humorous as he giggles beside me.

"Sierra, truth or dare?" Jade aims the question at a skinny brunette across the circle.

"Ummmm, dare!" She replies.

Jade looks around the room deep in thought, "I dare you to find a random guy on the dance floor and pretend he's your boyfriend who just cheated on you. "

Sierra stands up confidently and walks over to the part of the room where everyone seems to be dancing. She grabs the arm of a tall, built, dark headed guy and starts screaming things like "How could you do this to me?!" And "You said I was the one?!"
