Chapter 4: Arcade
(Harry's P.O.V.)
I've got to admit, I felt a bit heartbroken. But hey, it wasn't a date so why feel that way? Even so, it hurt. A lot. And to help myself not feel bad, I went to the arcade next to the movies. Because which guy doesn't love games?
I exchanged fifteen pounds for the arcade tokens and placed the pile of tokens on top of whichever arcade game I was playing at the moment.
I admitted that I have a problem as soon as I picked up a two-player shooting game and imagined Zayn's face on the targets. What can I say, I felt really hurt.
When my time was up I threw the plastic gun to the slot I had taken it from, while murmuring "What a douchebag..." and inserting more tokens from the pile I had on top of the arcade game to play again.
The game started again and I picked up the gun as fast as lightning. I was kind of impressed at how well I was doing and I thought that maybe I should play angrily more often...
I hear some coins go into the machine and at the corner of my eyes I see someone picking up the second player gun control.
"Hi, my name's Harry." I introduced myself. It would be rude if I didn't. "Anyways, I'm not usually this good at this game because I'm imagining the targets as a friend of mine that stood me up so if I start sucking, bear with me."
"Thats alright." I instantly knew to who that voice belonged to, so I turned around to see him but I slipped and fell on my butt once again.
"Again, Harry?" Said Zayn chuckling. I blushed so much that it was obvious he could see the redness in my cheeks.
"Umm, hi Zayn, I didn't think you would come..." I said bringing up my knees to my chest and looking down.
"Hi Harreh." He said smiling down. "Sorry I missed the film." He immediately changed his smile into a frown and looked away. "All of my friends said they were ditching when I told them I had a flat tire in the middle of the road... But I made it here for you and I'm glad I was able to see you." He finished with a smile forming once again.
"Help me up and I'll forgive you" I said smiling at him.
"Of course I'll help you up." He said while picking me up. "And now we are going to watch another film, on me."
I nodded quickly with a huge smile, making me feel like a little kid which made Zayn laugh. He then took me by the hand, both of us just dropping the gun controls, and dragged me to buy the tickets with him. I didn't even mind about putting the controls back into the slots or the pile of tokens that I had left behind, because now I was with Zayn. He looked at me as we went to see the movie. We looked for available seats and finally sat down.
Together.
