Fate [a Harry Styles fanfic]

Chapter 26

Melissa's POV

"I can't believe you are going out with my cousin. I just can't believe." I hear Sophia from the couch, while I finish my hair.

"We will always be just friends, you know that."

"But you also know that is not what Niall thinks, right?"

"What about Liam?" I try to sound carefree.

"What about him?"

"Okay, I give up." I join Sophia on the couch. "Tell me everything."

She exhales deeply. "There's not much to say. He's really sweet and caring."

She looks so cute trying to hide her feelings. "You can cut the bullshit with me, you know that."

"We're going slowly. I don't know what we are just yet, but he's amazing."

"Amazing, huh?" I can't hide my smile knowing my best friend is finally settling down with someone.

"Oh my god and in bed..."

"Okay, maybe too much information." Only if she knew about Harry...

"And Harry?" She reads my mind.

"What?"

She turns off the TV. "I know both of you have something going on. Are you guys hooking up or what?"

"Sophia..."

"I think I have the right to know, don't you think? I'm your best friend for christ sake! I've been so worried about you."

I feel so ashamed for actually been hiding so much from her. "Well, we might have slept together once. And hooked up in the... office."

"Oh my god."

"But don't worry about me, please. That won't happen again, it was a mistake." I try to reassure her.

"Of course it was a mistake. Mia, he's no good for you. I'm serious."

"I know." Well I do know that, but deep down I think he's not that bad of a person.

"I gotta go now, Niall must be wanting for me."

She kiss my cheek. "If you're not really into my cousin, please don't give him to many high hopes. He's a good guy."

"I won't because we're just friends. Nothing else. See ya later."

I grab my purse and adjust my dress as I wait for the elevator. It's 8:55pm on my phone, surely Niall will be down waiting for me.

"You look nice. Niall will approve." Of course Harry would show up.

"I don't dress for approval, just for the record." I feel his eyes burried on me and that feeling reappers once again.

"Why Niall?"

"Bye Harry." I get on the elevator, but Harry pushes open the door when it was about to close.

"Why him?" He gets in and backs me up against the wall. "He's such a pussy. He will never make you satisfied."

"Fuck, what is your problem Harry?" I push him away as hard as I can. "He's a friend. I'm having dinner with a friend! I'm not like you girl friends who sleep with you and the rest of the block. And just because you got what you wanted doesn't give you any right on me."

"Got what I wanted?" He frowns. "And what about you? Did you got what you wanted?"

"Excuse me?"

"You weren't a virgin but you weren't far from it." He smirks.

My hand flies in the air, leaving its mark on his cheek. And he doesn't even fakes offended. Just stands there as I push past him when the elevator door opens.
