Madhouse

Chapter Six.

*/*/* Harry's POV */*/*

I’ve been really thinking about that one bet I have made with Liam early in the day. I don’t know what has gotten into me. I have never felt challenged in my life by a bloke, especially one of my best mates.

Maya is beautiful, she’s a very kind girl and that’s what attracted me towards her. She’s humble but yet feisty and I know that’s one of the reasons why Liam fancies her as well.

Liam’s friendship means the world to me and I don’t want to ruin that special bond just because we want the same girl. I mean, Maya doesn’t know about our liking towards her so it’s up to us and try to get along.

“Perrie told me you wanted to talk to me?” Maya asked entering my guest bedroom.

“Oh…umm…yeah. Sorry, if I interrupted you from the fun” I smiled as I saw that she was breathing heavily trying to catch her breath but yet she was still widely smiling.

“No worries, you saved me from getting thrown into the water by Louis” she chuckled grabbing her bare stomach.  She really did look great in a bathing suit but I know that my stare was making her a little uncomfortable by the way she wrapped her warms around her stomach and crossed her feet trying hard to cover herself.

“Here” I handed her my long beach towel.

“Thanks” she smiled gladly accepting it and wrapping it around her perfect figure.

“Well, I asked Perrie to send you up here because I need to ask you something” I started; she looked at me with a smile and motioned me to continue. “Would you like to go out tonight, maybe go get some Ice cream?”  ...

*/*/* Maya’s POV */*/*

He asked me out on a date? Well he didn’t say ‘date’ but he wants to go out for ice cream so I think that makes it a date right? I don’t know but the point in that I’m going out on a date for the first time!

I try controlling all my excitement and smoothly reply, “Yes, yeah …yeah umm i-ice cream sounds good” I smiled happily.

“Okay great” Harry smirked. I stood there silently just smiling like an idiot at Harry who was looking at me to the point that he was about to crack up and start laughing.

“You look absolutely stunning standing there but please stop biting your lip” Harry laughed showing that wonderful flirtatious smile.

Oh my gosh, I quickly turned around and I could feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment. Soon from behind me I felt a warm air hit the side of my neck making a sweet feeling travel up and down my spine.

“Ummmm I’m…I’m ganna  go…shower” I stuttered  and quickly walked away to my room.

***

After my long and warm shower I quickly got dress into a simple plain red tank top and some black skinny jeans. I pulled my hair up into a messy ponytail and headed down stairs where I saw everyone lying down and just enjoying the relaxation from this motivated day.

“Ready?” Harry asked as he stood up; he wore his white T-shirt and his grey sweatpants.

I nodded and for some reason turned towards the kitchen and saw Liam look at me with a hurt expression on his face.

“Come on Maya” Harry grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door everyone saying ‘have fun’ from behind us.

We walked close to each other just chattering about how I became part of Syco Music and how I started working with Mr. Cowell. It wasn’t a mission to work for the company all I needed was an excellent resume and well… I’m Maya Newport the biggest nerd in high school who graduated with honors in both English and Mathematics which are my favorite subjects.

We finally got to the ice cream parlor and it was very lonely mostly by this time it is packed with a bunch of people wanting something sweet and tasty for desert.

“Vanilla?” Harry asked, I nodded agreeing.

“Two Vanilla please” Harry ordered and then turned to look at me, “So…did you have fun with Liam today?” he suddenly asked.

“Umm…why do ask that?” I ask curious as why he asked.

“Just…I just want to know if you actually have fun or not” he shrugged grabbing the two ice cream cones from the lady and handing on to me.

“Well this is the first time I have spent some alone time with you and him. But yes I had a good time even though a wave attacked us both but overall it was fun” I smiled taking a big scoop of vanilla into my mouth.

“Oh” was all he said before he grabbed my ice cream and started running outside with it.

“Harry? What are you doing?” I started running behind him but I soon lost him.

“Harry? Where are you?”  I shouted while I walked around the silent plaza park.

There was nothing where could have this curly hair boy gone? All of a sudden grabbed me swirling me around making me laugh loud as I saw who it was.

“Harry put me down” I laughed, as soon I said that he tripped on something dropping both ice creams on me.

“Haha I’m sorry” he laughed getting himself up and extending his arm to pull me up.

“It’s fine but I’m really sticky now” I laughed cleaning my sticky vanilla iced cheek.

“Here let me clean you up” Harry kissed my cheek feeling his tongue lick some vanilla off of me. I could feel my cheeks burn as I felt his lips against mine; slowly traveling down my jawline.

“H-h-harry…” I moaned feeling a strange sensation running from my head to my toes. “Harry I...”

“Shhh” he hushed me brushing his index finger on my lips, “Just live a little” he said before crushing his lips on mine.

Slowly my lips started moving with his feeling his hand travel up and down my back, making me feel special for the first time. Yet for some reasons when I broke that sweet kiss I couldn’t help but think of him.

He was on the back of my mind the whole time.

When I saw his face expression at the beach, at the kitchen, and when he called me lovely.  He blew me away with his gentle words and stares.

His name and his image were on my mind and I just can’t stop and feel guilty for some reason.

Why am I feeling like this about him?

I mean, Harry is sweet, gentle, handsome, and flirty and I do like him but not to the point that I wanted to kiss him.

The one that I wanted to be in Harry’s place seems to not even care about me like that.

Why couldn’t it be him…… Liam Payne?
