The Journey - The College Years [One Direction Fanfic]

18

A few hours later Perrie, Vanessa, Lucy and Emma are sitting on my bed. Perrie doesn't seem insecure at all and the other girls really like her. It feels kinda weird, though, because she is Zayn's girlfriend and I used to date him. God, that seems like it was such a long time ago when really it was just about a year. We talk about everything and nothing and I really enjoy it. Lucy and Emma tell us that they decided to move in together and raise the baby together. "Oh, are you two dating?" Perrie asks and to be honest I am glad she did because I am not so sure either but I'm dying to know. "Kinda, we're dating, aren't we?" Emma asks Lucy laughing. Lucy responds with a nod. "Oh, great! So that means I'm going to be the only single tonight!" Vanessa pouts and we all laugh. An hour later we leave for Harrys place. 

When we arrive there Harry opens the door and places a light kiss on my cheek before guiding us to the living room. He tells me that Lux, Robin and Anne are gone for a few days. The boys obviously had a few drinks already. "Hey babe" Zayn slurs smiling and kisses Perrie. Everyone except Emma grabs a beer and we sit down on the couch. "How about some karaoke?" Niall asks with his arm slung around Louis. "Oh yeah, that sounds good" Lucy says so Harry goes upstairs to get his laptop. An hour later we're all drunk and singing along to Britney Spears' songs. Harry is the only one who sounds good even though he is drunk as hell. "Oops I did it again!" he shouts and points at me. "I played with your heart!" I answer singing. He walks up to me and starts kissing me on my nose, forehead and cheek. He starts giggling as he covers my whole face in kisses. "I love you" he slurs. "You know that, right?" I nod and answer his kiss. "It's time for some stripping!" Vanessa shouts and we all burst out in laughter. "Yeah, stripping is good!" Zayn agrees and pretends to take off his shirt. It's really funny. "You girls should join me" Vanessa now says. "It's fun!" It really seems fun and I don't mind being half naked in front of my best friends so I agree. Lucy and Emma do, too. Perrie is the only one sitting on the couch and shifting awkwardly. "Oh come on, Perrie. Don't be ashamed, I'm sure Zayn will like it!" I say and wink. Zayn nods laughing and I look at Harry who is busy talking to Niall. Perrie eventually joins us and Louis changes the song. 'Sexy back' from Justin Timberlake is playing. We look at Vanessa and wait for her to teach us. It's odd. She starts to slowly pull her shirt up und dances very elegant. We attempt to do it just like her. I don't know if I do it right but Harry is clapping his hands like an idiot. A few minutes later Vanessa is dancing in front of us in nothing but her underwear. That girl is drunk as hell. The alcohol finally kicks in and I slowly take of my crop top. Harry gasps at the sight of me in a pink lace bra and licks his lips. That would look so disgusting if someone else did it, but when he does it I can't picture anything more attractive than that. "Just for the record; she is mine!" he now shouts laughing. Niall suddenly joins us in the middle of the living room and starts dancing like crazy. Louis and Zayn join us, too. I don't think I have ever done something funnier than this. "Harry, show us your dance moves!" Louis shouts and Harry stands up from his seat and walks up to me. "You guys wanna see the booty?" he shouts laughing. "We sure do!" I answer and watch my boyfriend attempt to twerk. It's hilarious. 

Since we're way too drunk to drive we decide to spend some time at Harry's till we're sober enough again. "Anyone hungry?" Vanessa asks and I raise my hand. "Let's look for something to eat" she says and I follow her into the kitchen. "That was fun" she says as she searches for plates. I agree. "Harry is okay, right?" she asks me. "Yeah, he's in the backyard with the boys" I tell her. "No, I mean.. like.. in general" she adds. I nod. "He is getting better." And he really is. A few minutes later we join Perrie, Emma and Lucy in the living room with a bowl of fruit salad. "What are the boys doing outside?" I ask. "Smoking one" Perrie answers. I wonder if she knows about Zayn's past. I guess not. We eat the salad and start to get sober again. "I should probably get going, I have to work tomorrow" Perrie says and stands up from her seat to get Zayn. "Can you guys drop Lucy and I off?" Emma asks her. "Sure." I say goodbye to Lucy, Emma, Perrie, Zayn and Vanessa who decided to go with them before joining the other boys in the backyard. Harry is baked. In fact, they all are. Except Niall. "We should probably get going" Niall tells Louis. "Oh, yeah, probably." "Thanks for the invitation, dude. That was the best party ever!" Niall says and hugs me before leaving with Louis. "Come on, let's go inside. It's cold" I say and take Harry inside with me. "Is that salad? Gosh I'm so hungry" Harry says. "I can cook you something if you want" I tell him. "That would be great, Linds" he says and gives me a dorky smile. He follows me into the kitchen and watches me while I cook noodles and tomato sauce. Whilst I am busy preparing the sauce Harry steps behind me and rests his head on my shoulder. His curls are tickling my cheek and I chuckle. "You're so hot, Linds" he slurs and gives me chills. "Am I?" I ask cheeky. "Yeah, but you're not just hot. Like… you're not just hot. You're like.. smart, you know. And insanely pretty, and so cute. When you're about to fall asleep but you try to keep your eyes open, that's so cute. And when you come out of the shower with a towel on your head and you do your makeup looking so concentrated. That, Linds, is the cutest shit ever." I am so touched by his words even though he is drunk. I know he means it. He sounds so honest and hearing that someone feels that way about me makes me feel amazing.

After eating the pasta Harry seems to be really tired. "Let's go to bed" I tell him and he nods. When we get to his room he lets himself fall on the bed. "You should probably take off your clothes first" I laugh. "Oh, so you want me to get naked?" he asks with a cheeky tired smile on his face. "That's not what I meant." "I am too tired" he states and closes his eyes. I walk over to the bed and sit down next to him. "You can take off my clothes, you're used to it" he remarks laughing. Oh lord, he is drunk as hell. I start unbuttoning his shirt and pull it over his head while he bursts out in laughter. "You are so dorky when you're drunk" I tell him. "I am not drunk" he states and rolls over on his side. "Of course not" I answer. He suddenly sits up and places a kiss on my cheek. He pulls me down onto his torso and continues kissing me. "I thought you were tired" I chuckle which he answers by kissing my collarbone. He sucks the skin sure to leave a mark and I enjoy his gentle touches while pulling down his pants. He fiddles my jeans open and pulls them down while I take off my sweater. A few minutes later I roll off him and look at him. His beauty amazes me. He cups my face with his hands and kisses me. "Good night, Linds" he says before covering us with the blanket and putting his arm around me. "Good night, Harry."
