All That Matters

Chapter 4

(Thanks so much for reading so far! It means a lot :) comment and vote if you'd like!)

It's been 1 week since the mall and I've spent every day since with Niall Zayn Liam and Harry. And I've decided I really dont like Harry.

I don't know why. Maybe it's because he always insults me? Or he compliments me then shuts me down right after? Ugh. He's confusing.

Louis' been practicing soccer all week so I've spent hardly any time with him, too, which makes it all the worse.

"You guys ready?" Liam says, standing up from our dinner table at the diner that Niall's insisted we eat at like every other day.

We all nodded and stood from our seats.

"We going to see a movie?" Zayn asks.

"Let's watch one at my house," Harry says.

The boys agree.

My emotions are so mixed right now, I dread this yet am somewhat anxious as to what might happen.

"There's not enough seats in Niall's car." Zayn points out.

"Darsey can come with me," Harry says, shocking me, and everyone else.

What? Why would he want me to come with him?

Great.

I go with it because deep down inside I know I kind of want to go. I tell myself I hate him but something inside me keeps wanting him.

We get in his car and he turns on the radio so loud I can hardly hear myself think. My mood lightens when a good song comes on that I actually know. I sing along naturally, not caring that Harry is right there. He seems like he doesn't notice; I watch his face. For once it's not twisted into a snobby rich kid emotion. In fact it seems... Happy.

When we reach his house he turns off the car.

His house is huge. It's red brick and two stories tall lined with large windows. The front yard was blanketed in perfect green grass and flowers that seemed to be tended to every day. Harry didn't strike me as a gardener, but by the looks of this place I'm guessing he pays people to do it for him.

He walks up to the side of the car where I'm sitting, the side facing away from his mansion. He opens the door for me and I get out quickly as I watch the ground.

"Thanks," I say, not making eye contact with him. Whenever I do I feel my heart flutter, so I do my best to avoid him. But why? I don't like him... Right? I can't like him, Louis would never allow it.

Plus he's a jerk.

"Why do you always do that?" he asks me.

"Do what?" I reply, caught off guard.

"You never look me in the eyes. It's like you're afraid of me," he said. What was the tone in his voice?

"I dont know," I mutter. He brings up his hand under my chin and tilts my head up so I'm looking straight into his eyes. They make me melt... He's so mysterious and attractive, I can't help myself but think he's the most perfect and flawless person I've ever seen. He gently runs his thumb on my cheek, causing me to blush a little. This is not the Harry I was with 20 minutes ago.

We both stand for a few seconds and he pulls me close to him so our chests are touching, sending that spark through my whole body. Our faces are only inches apart. He stares down at my lips a few moments before he pulls me in to a long, smooth kiss. I don't pull away- I can't. Something about it is so perfect. What are we doing?

It's the greatest feeling I've ever had. I don't know why, but it's just... Just amazing. He pushes me back against the hood of the car and rests one hand on my lower back and the other on the car door, getting more hasty. I smile slightly as he practically puts me in a trance. His perfect full lips on mine take away every single worry.

Just as I was getting used to this enchanting and unfamiliar feeling I hear a person cough awkwardly. We both pause and turn to see Niall.

"Sorry, I uh- I didn't think..." he trailed off.

"It's fine," Harry says, the tone of his voice light and casual- one I've never heard before.

What just happened?

We back away from each other and follow Niall into the house. Niall exchanges looks with the boys, causing them to grin. One look and they probably guess what happened.

"What are we going to do?" Harry says, not noticing their sly smiles- or he just didn't care.

"We got a movie," Zayn says, holding up a DVD.
