Once in a Lifetime (EDITING)

Ch. 10 Surprise!

Kelli's POV

"You've got to be kidding me!" Danny shouts, drawing unwanted attention from the other students in the hallway.

"Danny, keep it down. You don't want to start a riot, do you?" I say covering his mouth with my hand.

"No!" he swats my hand away, "I have been stalking this boy for the past five years and you spending a fucking day with him?!" He says, his brown eyes wide with excitement and disbelief.

"If you would have gone to the concert with us, maybe you might have seen him as well." I taunt, starting to walk down the hallway.

"Mads!" I scream when I spot a familiar brunette head in the student body that is crowding into the corridor.

"Hey Kelli!" She says giving me a hug. "You told him, didn't you?" She asks gesturing to a fuming Danny.

"Yep." I say popping the 'p.'

"How dare you even speak to Niall Horan, without me?!" He says, running his hand through his quiffed up brown hair.

"Well, where were you the night of the concert?" Maddie asks, leading us down the hallway to the next class we all share together.

"My business is my business." Danny says, throwing his head back and stalking off further down the hallway.
"Do you even want to know the dirty details?" Mads teases him as I put my face in my hands, again trying to rid my innocent mind of these images.

"There were dirty details?" He says incredulously.

"Ok, that's it. I'm going to class." I say finally, walking into the classroom.

"Oh come on Kelli! It's like your taking health class again, except I'm the teacher, and you actually would enjoy the lesson." Maddie smirks, sitting down in the desk parallel to mine, just as the bell rings.

"I'm home!" I yell as I step foot in my house, well my empty house.

'Just went to get some groceries, and to go to a doctors appointment. Darcy is over at a friends house till tonight. There's food in the fridge.

Love - Mom'

"Awesome" I mumble setting the note down and walking into the living room.

I'm all caught up on homework. I've watched everything on Netflix twice. I don't even know how to set up the Xbox to play games...I have no life whatsoever. Huh.

I take out my phone and begin to scroll through instagram. Nothing I haven't seen already.

'At least I had the balls to go after him...'

Mads' taunting words keep echoing in my head. I really am a wuss when it comes to taking chances.

Before I even know what I am doing, I pull out my phone, and begin to text Harry.

Me: you free today?

I anxiously wait for him to text back. What if he has to do something today?

Harry: I'm all yours

Me: you wanna come over?

Harry: be there soon...

I didn't even need to explain anything to him, thank god. I probably would've made everything really akward.

About ten minutes later, I hear a knock on my door.

"Hey Kelli," Harry says, smirking down at me in the doorway.

Tight back skinny jeans and a grey t-shirt, also letting some more of his tattoos come into view. Damn.

"Come on in Styles" I say as bravely as I can, turning around, dashing into the kitchen. I honestly didn't think this through. All I am wearing is grey sweat pants, and a plain white T-shirt, with my hair up in a bun and only foundation and concealer on because of school. I look awful.

"Make yourself at home Harry." I call, grabbing two sodas from the fridge, there's no turning back now.

"Here," I say handing him the soda, taking a seat a few cushions away from him.

"Wanna watch some TV?" I say hesitantly, biting my lip nervously.

"Is that why you called, because you needed a TV buddy?" He says teasingly, while I roll my eyes.

"No, I called because I'm not doing anything for the rest of the day, and I figured why not hang out? Unless you wanted to go somewhere...?" I ask glancing back at him.

"No, I'm already comfy," he says showing off his dimpled smile.

"Cool." I say finally deciding on a movie to watch.

"You know love, you can come closer, I'm not going to bite." He says chuckling, as I scoot closer to him, leaving about an inch of room between us.

"C'mere" he says finally, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me to his chest.

My heart rate immediately begins to speed up, I'm pretty sure he can hear it as well.

"You okay, Kel?" I hear Harry whisper into my ear. No! I'm not okay! I feel like I'm going to explode.

"Yeah, it was getting kinda chilly in here anyways." I say laughing, trying not to think about how easy it would be for me to kiss him right now.

After about an hour of watching a movie on TV, I don't even know what it was, we were pretty comfortable with each other. And by that I mean that my heart had stopped racing, well not as fast anyway.

"Where's the bathroom?" He says so low that I can barely hear him.

"Down the hall and to the right." I say quietly, shaking off my drowsiness.

As soon as he leaves, I'm left with my own thoughts.

Should I kiss him? What if he doesn't even see me that way? I was too blind by nervousness to see what was actually in front of me, how he was acting.

It's now or never.

As soon as I hear water running, I quickly jump off the couch and make my way down the hall, hoping to catch him along the way.

"Woah, you scared me-" I don't let him finish his sentence. I quickly grab the collar of his shirt, pressing my lips to his, praying to get a the reaction I was hoping for.

Slowly but surely, he begins to kiss me back, shaking off his state off shock, as his hands snake around my waist, deepening the kiss.

His tongue swipes across my bottom lip, begging for entrance, which I was about to grant until I heard a loud bang from the other room.

"I'm home!" Someone screams from the main entrance.

Michael. What is he doing home?!
