1 in 7 Billion (Harry Styles)

Chapter 49

[Im baaaack. ;) Made In the A.M. is a gift from above. That's all I have to say... Oh and I've reached 100K READS!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL]

Harry POV:

I chuckle in disbelief. "You're telling me, we've been seeing each other for a month and half and you've never listened to a damn song?"

"I think I'm up for girlfriend of the year at this point." She cuts a piece of salmon and chews on it.

"Not even What Makes You Beautiful?"

"Okay, that one I think I heard on the radio back in high school. But, it's been years. It's like I'm scared. The only time I've heard you sing is in the shower or when you hum along in the car..." She's smiling. She's accepted the fact that she's completely shocked me.
I assumed she would of at some point just out of curiosity.

"I..." I chuckled and shook my head. "I don't know if I should be offended or not."

"It's nothing personal! But, I mean, what if I hate your music?" Hayley was full-on laughing at this point. She wasn't joking, but just the irony of the whole situation was getting to both of us.

"Shit, I really hope that's not the case." I let out a laugh still shaking my head. "Can you imagine how the media would react if they got a hold of this? Fans would go nuts."

"Give 'em another reason to hate me, I suppose." We were both just laughing. I loved it. I loved her. I loved the fact that she hadn't even heard our music.

"I feel like I should of seen this coming, like you're so - just you - I mean of course you haven't listened to it." My smile was huge. "Why would you?"

"I'm like the worst groupie ever."

"Pretty much, yeah."

I wanted to tell her I loved her tonight. I was planning on it. But, I couldn't.
We were having fun. Just hanging out. It was too casual for those words. Hayley deserved to be told she was loved in an miraculous, fantastic, epic sort of way.
Eating gelato in my car, wasn't the scene I was looking for.

"Well Jackie had already put the cat outside earlier, but I let him in without her knowing, so when she turned the corner the cat was sitting on the counter with the dead mouse in its mouth!" Hayley and I bursted out laughing at her story. "To this day I'll swear on my life that she shit her pants. Her scream woke up the nanny who was all the way on the other side of the house."

"No wonder she hates you!" I laughed and took another bite of my frozen dessert.

"Ah man, I don't blame her for not speaking to me that week. The nanny yelled at her in Russian for a solid ten minutes. Jack didn't stand a chance." Her smile was huge as she recalled the memory.

"Did she ever get you back?"

"Considering I found the mouse in my lunchbox at school the next day, I'd say she got me back pretty good. Drew Felton never let me live it down."

I was happy. I was content with her sitting next to me. I loved her more every second I spent with her. I was too the point where it didn't matter if she loved me back. As long as she still wanted me around I'd be okay. But if she did love me back, I reckon I'd be the happiest lad in all the world.

"Do you think I'll get to meet her?" I ask.

"Jackie? Yeah, I'd like you to. She's a total bitch, but I've yet to see your charm fail on anyone."

I raised my eyebrows in a cocky manner and almost on cue, she rolled her eyes.

"It used to drive me crazy whenever you did that." I admit as I continue to eat.
