Are We Friends or Are We More (Editing)

Chapter 42

The next day I went out to lunch with the girls and we have to be back at the hotel around 2.

We went to Arby's and order our food. It was just Ashlee, Lilly and I. I'm guessing they want to talk to me about last night.

"Soooo," Lilly begins.

"You and Harry or You and Liam," Ashlee asks.

"I don't know, I say, looking down at my hands.

"Des, what happened," Lilly asks.

"Well, I told you that I was going to talk to him and so I ran out to him, we kinda just like stared at each other and then he kissed me and I actually like, liked it but then I thought of Harry and felt guilty, but I'm not dating Harry," I explain.

"Do you know why he kissed you," Ashlee asks.

I shook my head. "There is something he isn't telling us," I say.

It was silent after that. Our food came and we change the subject to Lilly's baby.

"So, if it's a girl you can name it Shaniqua and if it is a boy you name it Shawn," Ashley says, taking a bite of her French Fry.

"Umm, no," Lilly says, laughing.

We talk until we get done eating and then we pay. We go back to the hotel and I look at my phone to see what time it is. It is 1:215. We get back and it is now 1:30, so we made it back in time.

We go into our room and see everyone in it.

"Hi," I say.

Liam, Harry, Louis, and Niall were all looking at us.

"You are late," Niall says.

"No, we are 20 minutes early," Lilly says, sitting down on the empty bed.

"Oh, well we have a guest arriving soon," Liam says.

I look at him and he gives me a weak smile. "Who is this guest," I ask.

"ME," a person yells, from behind me.

I turn around and see Maya with some dude standing by her.

I hug her and then ask her who the dude was.

"Grayson, my boyfriend," she says. 

I shook his hand and he kisses Maya on the lips. It felt kinda weird just watching them so I walk out of the room. I walk down the hallway, wondering what I want to do now.

Someone yells my name from behind me and I turn around. It was Harry.

"Hi," I say, smiling.

"Hey," he says, catching up to me.

"Is everything okay," he asks, grabbing my hands with his.

I nod, "Yeah, everything is fine. I'm just really bored."

Who am I kidding. How can I be bored when I have met One Direction. When I'm in the same hotel as them. When Harry is standing right in front of me.

"Well, I did have an idea," he says, the smirk evident on his face.

"Okay," I say, waiting for him to say more.

"Swimming," he says, more like a question than a statement.

"Yeah. Let's go swimming!"

We walk back into the room where everyone else was.

"Who would like to go swimming," I yell.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We are now waiting for the person to unlock the pool area. She keeps saying that she found the key but nothing would work. We stand there for a good 10-15 minutes and we finally get in. I walk in after everyone else. Lilly sits out watching us and Louis sits with her, being the gentleman that he is. I convince Liam to join in and Harry, Niall, and Ashlee agreed to the idea of but Maya and Grayson went out to their late lunch date thing.

I put my towel on the table.

"The pool is heated," the lady says, walking out of the area.

"Noice," Niall says.

Ashlee and Niall start doing cannonballs and Harry joins them. I am enjoying taking pictures of them and then I hand my phone to Lilly and join them in the fun.

We swim for a while and Niall decides to pee in the pool so we all get out and order pizza. We go back  to each others rooms and do what we want to do for the rest of the day. I get bored so I go check up on Liam.

I get to his room and knock on his door. I wait for a minute and he finally opens it.

"Hi," I say. "Just checking up on you. You didn't seem so cheerful at the pool."

"I'm okay. Please come in," he says.

I walk in.

"So, I need to tell you something," he says, sitting down in a chair next to the television.

"Okay, I'm all ears," I say, sitting in the spinning chair.

"Next week, I leave," he say.

"Leave," I ask, as I stopped spinning the chair and look at him confused.

"Yeah, I, uh, I am going to California for awhile, by myself, for some vacation. Maybe, I will meet someone there," he says, looking down at his hands.

"Okay, let us come with you," I say.

"I don't know. I kinda wanna do my own thing by myself for awhile," he says, now looking at me.

"Okay, fine but we will skype. Promise me," I say. "And we will visit! You can't just get us out of your life that quick!"

"Promise," Liam says, smiling.

"How long will you be gone," I ask.

"I have no idea," he says.

"It's okay," I say. "What do you think the others will think?"

"I don't know. I hope they won't be mad," he says.

"If they are your true friends, they wont be mad." I say, and walk out of the room after patting him on the back.
