Niki POV

(Play How Did I Fall In Love With You by Backstreet Boys...Don't start reading until the words start...read slowly!)

Harry walked back over to the drivers' side and sat down, slamming the door behind him. He slumped in his seat and started the car. I looked down at my legs. Was he really that mad? I didn't say no! All I said is that I had to think about it....what's so bad about that?

He started driving awfully fast down the road. I touched his shoulder, "Harry are you o-"

"I'm fine". He shrugged my hand off and didn't break his eyes off the road. I put my hand back on my lap and looked out the window. Boy he's madder than I thought. I stared at the trees we were passing by. I shuffled through my purse and got out my headphones and my phone out. I put my phone on shuffle and plopped it in my lap.

I looked back at Harry. His eyes were focused on the road.

His face was scrunched up a little. His nose twitching every so often.

He had both hands on the steering wheel at the very top.

His fingers bopped up and down every so often.

His eyes looked crystallized.

They looked...unreal.

His lips were parted slightly.

His eyebrows scrunched together for a slight bit.

He was deep in thought.

He removed one hand from the wheel to brush back his curls from his face.

He let out a sigh and put his hand back on the wheel.

I took in his features.

How his pink lips were pursed into a thin line.

How his emerald eyes shifted from side to side, taking in his surroundings.

The sun was getting lower and lower behind us.

I looked back down at my lap. This isn't real. I can't be falling for him. I can't.

He lent back on his seat. He rubbed his forehead and let out another sigh.

We are just friends...nothing more. He's like my brother. Right? I stil have a lot to think about. If I do date him and we break up, it would completely ruin our friendship. I dont' want to risk that over a stupid relationship. But will it be that stupid? He'll treat me better won't he? I don't know where I would be without him though. Every time I hear him say my name, my heart flutters. I get butterflies when he calls me silly nicknames that I would normally just brush off. Why is it that he makes me like this? How can I fall for someone who is so different? So...surreal. Dating him would be a fantasy. He's an international pop star. I'm a little girl from America.

I looked back at Harry. His eyes still focused on the road. Wow. This can't be true.

I....

I'm in love with Harry Styles.

I am. I'm in love with his perfect green eyes. I'm in love with his perfectly placed dimples. I'm in love with his perfect smile. I'm in love with his perfectly shaped little nose. I'm in love with someone that I would never think could fall for me. I'm hopelessly in love with a pop star that has stolen many girls hearts.

I'm in love with Harry Styles.

I looked back over at Harry as we pulled into the driveway. He got out of the car and I hopped out of my seat and ran over to his side of the car. I jumped into his arms and hugged him tight. He was taken by surprise but tightened his grip on my back. I nuzzled my head into his shoulder and smiled. I looked up at him and placed a kiss on those lips I've been craving to kiss. I pulled away and looked him in those perfect emerald eyes.
