Double Trouble

Chapter 2

~2~

With Harry's and Edward's hands clutched in mine, I lead them through their house towards the music assuming that's where the dance floor is going to be. I hear the brothers exchange faint whispers between each other behind me. Turning around, I see them both looking at me with their devilish green eyes and their lips are curled up into a smile letting their dimples show.

Letting out a small giggle, I look back and take a couple more steps towards the music. The dance floor is already filled with some sweaty, drunk and very sexual teenagers. I skim the area and soon enough find a small area that all three of us can dance in comfortably. Tugging the Styles behind me, I shuffle past everyone and let go of their hands.

The song that's currently playing is 'Drinking From The Bottle' by Calvin Harris. I start swaying my hips from side to side a bit and loosen up into the atmosphere. Feeling someone's hands glide down my shoulders, I subtly turn my head around just enough to see who it is. Recognizing Harry's blue and grey shirt, I turn back and continue to dance to the beat.

I came here with Edward but that doesn't mean I can't dance with Harry and other people that I may come across, right? I heard the twins talking before about 'letting me choose between them' so I guess they're just taking turns to dance with me. "Too bad I can't have them both." I silently chuckle under my breath making sure nobody heard. The music blasts loudly out of the speakers and everyone jumps and sings along.

I'm in here busy looking for the next top model,

Who's wearing something new and something old and something borrowed.

I know this crazy life can be a bitter pill to swallow,

So forget about tomorrow

Tonight, we're drinking from the bottle.

Harry's hands slide down from my shoulders and down to my waist, gently resting them on my hips. His grip is soft as he guides me through the music helping me dance. We dance like this for the rest of the song. Towards the end, I feel Harry step closer towards me making his curls inches away from my neck.

The song ends and a new one comes on giving Edward a chance to snatch me away from Harry. At first I don't recognize the song but soon I remember. "This is Macklemore right?" I turn around to see both Harry and Edward standing behind me. "Yeah. Love the man, so inspirational." Edward smiles and moves from side to side.

"Same. His lyrics are deep and very thoughtful. I really like all of his songs but my favourite has to be Same Love because he actually talks about important things in the world not just pointless shit, excuse my phrasing." Both Harry and Edward chuckle at my explanation which brings an even bigger smile to my face.

Here we go back, this is the moment

Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over

So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us

Like the ceiling can't hold us

Everyone yells out the lyrics and throws their hands up in the air chanting and dancing. It's funny how that's the only part any of us truly know of the song. We stand in a small circle, just the three of us; singing, dancing and laughing the night away. Both of the Styles boys have danced with me, each taking their turns and not being snobby towards one another.

My stomach rumbles quietly so I decide to check what time it is. Pulling out my phone from my clutch, the time flashes up on screen as 8:26pm. That would explain why I'm super hungry; all I've had is some drinks for the past one and a half hours. There were some snacks, but they were very light and small. "What time is it?" I hear Edward ask over the loud blasting music. "8:26pm." I yell back.

"Great, that means the pizza will be here shortly!" Edward excuses himself off the dance floor and heads towards the front door to pick up everyone's dinner. "So, you enjoying yourself?" Harry asks casually making me turn around to face him. "Yes, awesome party. Can't wait for the food, starving!" I giggle out as my lips curl into a smile.

"I really like you Ella," Harry says to me not holding back on his words, "you're funny, witty and very pretty; no rhyme intended." "Look at you hot shot! You're Harry Styles, trouble maker that has everyone swooning at your feet. But not me, well just yet, in fact. If you want me, you'll show me and fight for me." I say coming closer to him and poking him in the chest lightly but hard enough for him to feel it.

Harry is a dangerous person to be playing these games with but hey, he'll show me how bad he really wants it. "Oh I'll show you princess, I'll show you everything I've got." Harry cheekily smirks at me and I sense his emerald eyes change into a darker, icier colour. "Good." I spit out in a tone that gets the message across but isn't too harsh at the same time.

"Pizza!" Someone shouts out over the top of the music and suddenly everyone is rushing out of the room for some food. The smell of cheese and bacon overpowers the smell of sweat and just gross stuff in general. "Let's get some food, shall we?" Harry raises his eyebrow up and leads me out of the room towards the kitchen where masses of pizza boxes are sitting on counters.

"After you." Harry smirks and points to plates. Making my way over, I pick up two plates, one for me and one for Harry, and begin to put food on my plate. I take a slice of ham and cheese pizza and another slice of Hawaiian. "Your plate." I hand Harry his plate in his hands. He thanks me and goes on to pick out food for himself. "Sorry guys, I just had to get the pizza for everyone but I'm hoping my brother wasn't too bad Ella." Edward comes through with food on his plate and stands next to us.

"No no, don't you worry about us. All good." I smile back at him convincingly and dig into my food. Gosh this is delicious! Taking small bites of my pizza, I devour it slowly and soon all of it is in my stomach. "Very nice." I say muffled as I wipe my lips and face with a tissue, taking away the grease from the pizza.

Skimming the kitchen, I see Liz with Brandon. She has liked him for a long time and I guess this party is just what they both needed. Who knows, tomorrow she might even be in a relationship with him! "I heard there's a game of spin the bottle going on upstairs, anyone want to play?" Edward offers with a grin. "Hell yeah!" Harry exclaims loudly with a smile. "Yeah, I just have to go to the bathroom first. I'll meet you up there yeah?"

"First door on the right hand side." Harry beams over and tells me where to go. "Thanks." I shout back and go to the bathroom. Walking past a lot of people, I finally arrive at the door and knock on it to see if anyone's in there. "One minute!" I hear a familiar voice call out from inside. I stand patiently at the side, waiting for whoever's inside to come out.

"Jess!" I smile as I see her pop out the door. "Ella! Gosh, haven't seen you all evening! How are you finding the party? And ooh the Styles twins?" She asks intrigued and adds a wink at the end. "The twins are subtly fighting over me but I'm really liking the party! Going to play a game of spin the bottle upstairs after this." "Oh can I join?" Jess asks. "Sure, they're all in one of the rooms upstairs. Don't know which one." I chuckle out and Jess says she'll meet me upstairs.

Walking into the bathroom, I look at myself in the mirror. My makeup is nice and hasn't smudged. My hair isn't too bad, well what do you expect after dancing like that? I go the the toilet and then wash my hands. "Mmm." I mumble as the soap washes off my hands, it smells of raspberry and cream. Getting a breath mint out of my clutch, I pop it in my mouth and add some lip gloss to my lips.

"Ready!" I smile to myself and head out the door. Walking upstairs, I notice one of the doors is open and that's probably where the game is. "Ella! Just in time." Harry winks at me from the floor below. I sit down next to Jess, careful to find a position in which I won't flash. We go around the room and everyone has a turn of spinning the bottle. "Your turn." Jess beams next to me. Oh crap. Well, here I go.

My fingers nimbly spin the bottle around. I wait in anticipation as I wait for it to stop. "Far out." I mumble to myself as the bottle stops on Harry. Out of all the people? Really? He shoots me a wink and I read his lips, 'I'll show you princess.' I feel my mouth swell a bit inside as Harry stands up and I do to.

This is it. I'm really kissing Harry in front of Edward. I step closer and place my lips on Harry's. At first I resist any movement but boy are his lips soft. I allow his lips to work in sync with mine as we stand there kissing. "Get a room lovebirds!" I hear someone call out from below letting everyone laugh at his comment. With that, Harry and I pull apart only to see a very angry Edward awaiting us on the floor.
