Right Hook

Chapter 5

Harrys POV

"Wait shower.. as in together?" She asks and I stop at the top of the stairs. I'm taken aback by her question and am not sure of what to say. What do I say? Of course i'd love to see that gorgeous body of hers but we hardly know each other. There's always a next time Styles.

"Of course we aren't haha, this house has plenty of showers. Just pick one I guess and i'll lay out some sweats for ya." I say trying to sound uninterested. Can't make it seem like I want her, it'll make me sound desperate and horny.

I walk to my room and I can hear one of the showers turn on. I go through my drawers and just pick out a pair of black sweat pants and a t-shirt. Does she need underwear? Obviously she does but I'm a guy, I don't have girl underwear? Do I hand her some boxers?

I grab a pair and the clothes and start walking to the shower she's in. I close my eyes and knock on the door.

"It's Harry ! I brought ya some clothes, can I come in? My eyes are covered I swear!" I hear her laugh and take that as a yes. I walk in with my eyes closed and feel around for the counter top but instead I accidentally trip on her shoes and can feel the curtains. A loud scream escapes her mouth and I realized what I've done.

"I-I'm so sorry!! I didn't see anything I swear! " I throw her clothes on the floor and run out and close the door behind me.

Wow. Could that have gone anymore horrible. I probably just ruined our friendship, she probably thinks I did it on purpose! FUCK!

I rush to my room and get in the shower. I tug on my hair in frustration while the cold water drips down. How could I let myself be such a klutz.

I get out of the shower and dry my hair with the towel then wrap it around my wait and walk into my room to change. I put on some grey sweats & a hoodie on and walk out of my room and see her downstairs entering the living room.

Don't make a fool out of yourself Styles ! Don't let this one go like the rest.

I walk down to the living room and smile awkwardly at her. What do I say?

"Umm Hi.. Haha. Sorry once again about earlier.." Wow. You could cut the tension with a knife.

"Don't worry about it, I know it was an accident haha.." She says and also awkwardly laughs.

"We should get to know each other, I mean we hardly know anything about each other and we just had that very awkward moment, so maybe it will even out the tension?" I say and lay on the opposite part of the couch.

"Yeah, that actually sounds like a good idea! You go first ?" She asks and crisscrosses her legs on the couch and faces me.

"Okay, umm, what's your favorite color?? "

"That's a lame question !! But light pink if I really had to choose haha. So, what's your favorite food?" She smiles her usual and beautiful dimpled smile.

"My question was lame? Yours is so lame haha ! I guess my favorite food is tacos but not like taco bell tacos, like actual Mexican tacos!" I answer her question and wait for her to ask another one.

"So.. if you don't mind me asking this, how did you get this beautiful house?!??"

"I umm, well, the thing is there's a whole big story that im not so comfortable talking about yet." If I tell her how I got my money she'll definitely hate me forever. I like her too much to ruin this by telling her my regretful past.

"Oh.. I understand.. your turn then.." She replies silently while looking down at her hands while twiddling her thumbs.

"How come you live with your asshole of a Uncle?" I blurt out at her without realizing it may be a touchy subject.

"Well the thing is a few years ago.. my parents were horribly murdered and he was the closest relative I had.." She answers and I can immediately tell I shouldn't have brought it up.

"Hey, i'm sorry for asking. I didn't realize what I was saying.." I can tell the subject is making her sad so I have to change it quickly!

"How about we save the questions for another day and watch movies yeah? You can pick any movie you want from my Netflix account." I hand her the remote and she looks at me weirdly and bursts out into laughter.

"Harold, already trying to 'Netflix and Chill'? " she says in between laughs. Oh my gosh. I can already feel my cheeks getting red so I have to say a witty comeback.

"Oh you'd just love to do that with me wouldn't you?" I smirk and raise an eyebrow at her. "Don't worry, that can be saved for another day love." I pull her closer to me when she finally picks a movie and cover us with a blanket. Smooth Styles, smoooooth.

I ask her if we should get her home but as I look down I see her cute face fast asleep on my chest. I plant a quick kiss on her forehead and turn the tv off and fall asleep holding her.
