They Don't Know About Us

Date with Harry

The morning and afternoon had passed quickly. I had avoided Niall, because it would be awful if he found out. He would be devastated, and I would feel horrible. Liam ha Meredith over again today. Whenever Liam wasn't looking, Meredith would glare at me. She is so evil! I just can't stand her. I try to avoid her, but she always shows up. My only solution is to sleep the day away. My sickness is almost completely cured. I'm hoping for it to be cured by the time I have my date with Harry. Harry said to not dress too fancy, because then it will be too obvious we are going on a date. I wonder where he's taking me.... I guess it will be a surprise for me.

It was now around five, so I decided to get ready. I quietly slipped out o bed and over to the bathroom. I locked the door behind me. I turned on the shower water. I slipped off my clothes and stepped into the hot shower water. I let the water soothe my skin as I washed my body. I then massaged shampoo and conditioner into my hair. I shaved my legs and armpits, then rinsed off one last time. I stepped out of the shower and dried off. I blow dried my hair and put it up in a loose bun with a few curls hanging out. I put a flower headband over my head. I put on a pair of floral jeans with a sweater. I reached down to grab some jewelry an noticed the necklace and promise ring I received from Niall. I picked it up, and stared at them. I quickly shoved it in the bottom of my suitcase. I grabbed a different pair of earrings and put them on. I put on some eye makeup, and then a pair of shoes. I walked out of the bathroom all prepared. Thankfully, Harry was the only one in my room.

"Ready?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready," I replied. Harry looked at me surprised, "You spoke!"

"Yep, my voice healed."

Harry smiled, "Great, ready to go?"

I nodded, and Harry walked out the door. He closed the door behind me, so I walked up to the door and pressed my ear against it, so I could hear what Harry was saying.

"Hey Liam, I'm gonna go to the bar for a little," Harry said.

"Just take a cab back," Liam replied.

"Okay, bye," Harry replied. I heard the murmuring of good byes, and the door slammed close. I walked back over to my bed, and sat in the edge. I had to wait five minutes before I could leave, so it wouldn't be so obvious. I swung my legs back and forth, waiting. I looked at the clock, slowly waiting fir the numbers to change. Finally, it reached five minutes, so I grabbed my coat and threw it over my shoulders. I walked towards the door and opened it. I walked out to see the others happily chatting, including Meredith.

"I'm going shopping," I announced to them. They looked at me surprised.

"You spoke!" Louis exclaimed.

"Well, my voice came back," I replied.

"Oh, so you're going shopping?" Meredith asked, "Can I come along?"

I bit my lip nervously. What am I supposed to say? I t was just a cover-up to go out with Harry!

"Um, I was planning on going alone..." I replied, trailing off in the end.

"Come on, Nicole," Liam said, "It would be a good way for you two to become friends!"

Okay, I guess there is no way to get out of this, "Um, I guess."

"Yay!" Meredith squealed, "I'll go grab my purse. She ran over to the shelf near the front door, and grabbed her purse and coat, "Come on, let's go!"

I know she's planning something. Why in the world would she want to go shopping with me if she hates me? I trudged out the doorway with Meredith. As I was walking, I pulled out my phone to text Harry. I had my phone replaced since the last one was burned in the fire. I texted Harry:

(Harry's texts)

We have a problem. Meredith is going shopping with me. What should I do?-N

The only choice you have is to go, so just go. We can have a late night date. We'll go out when everyone is asleep.

Okay c u later

Bye

I glanced over to see Meredith trying to read my texts, so I quickly shoved my phone in my pocket.

"So where are we going first?" Meredith asked, trying to change the subject. I frowned, "Okay, what are you trying to do?"

Meredith looked at me innocently, "What? I just wanted us to be better friends! I'm hoping you'll forgive me for trying to kiss Niall. I feel bad about it. I'm hoping we can forget about what happened. Is that okay?"

I sighed, "I guess."

We walked out into the parking lot and went in Meredith's car. She went in the driver's seat, and I got in the passenger's seat. She drove towards the mall in silence. I awkwardly stared out the window, unsure of what to say. It was starting to get dark out, and we were now pulling into the parking lot. It was around seven, so I hope we're not here long. I'm still not going to trust Meredith. She is always suspicious, and I just saw her trying to read my messages. I don't know what she's trying to do, but I'm positive that it isn't beneficial on my part. We got out of the car and walked into the mall. Meredith walked from store to store trying on tons of different outfits. I just watched her, not really wanting to buy anything. Meredith barely bought anything. It was almost like she just enjoyed trying on everything. It was nearly ten, and I was bored out of my mind.

"Ready to go yet?" I asked Meredith.

"I guess so," Meredith replied. She grabbed her bags and flung them over her shoulder. I didn't buy a single thing, so I just walked beside Meredith. We walked out to her car, and threw her bags in the trunk. I walked over to the passenger's seat, and sat down. Meredith hopped into the driver's seat. She drove back to the hotel, and we walked upstairs. Right before we walked in the room, Meredith stopped me. She leaned towards my ear and whispered, "I know you secret."

I looked at her shocked. She simply turned around and opened the door to the hotel room and walked in. She can't be serious! How in the world did she find out? Wait, she could be lying. She could just say she knows about our secret. She could just be saying that to worry me. I should just stop worrying about this. I followed Meredith into the hotel room.

"Hey Liam," She said to Liam. She walked up to him, and lightly kissed him on the lips. She pulled away, and Liam wrapped his arms around her waist, "Hey babe," He said to her.

"Sorry Liam, but I have to go home. See you tomorrow?" She asked. Liam nodded, "Of course." They pulled away, and Meredith waved goodbye to Liam as she left the room. I looked over at Liam. He was standing there, unmoving, watching Meredith leave. Wow, he's hopelessly in love. There is no way I can convince him that Meredith is cheating on him. He will never believe me. Oh well, when he finds out, he can be devastated. I tried to tell him. I walked over to my room. Harry and Louis were in there, talking. I guess Harry decided to come back. I walked over and sat on my bed.

"Didn't you buy anything?" Louis asked. I shook my head, "No, I didn't find anything I wanted."

"Oh, okay," Louis replied.

"So, what are you doing?" I asked.

"Just on twitter," Louis replied.

"I think I'll go to bed," I replied, yawning.

"You slept most of the day away," Louis replied, "How are you still tired?"

I shrugged, "I don't know, I just am."

"Well, if you're going to bed, then I am, too," Louis said. Harry stood up, "I guess we're all going to sleep now." Harry walked out of the room, and towards his own. I walked to the bathroom, and just threw a bathrobe over my outfit. Harry and I are going on a date, and I was all prepared, so I don't want to redo everything. I rolled up my pants and shirtsleeves, and took out my headband, leaving my messy bun in. I walked out to see Louis already in bed asleep. I looked to my right to see Liam in bed, but not asleep, unlike Louis. Liam was on his phone. I pulled out my phone and texted Harry:

Louis's asleep, but Liam's awake. What about the others?

Niall and Zayn are asleep. Act like you're going to sleep. Then, text me when Liam is asleep.

Got it. Ttyl

I lied down on my bed, and waited for Liam to go to sleep. After about a half an hour I was bored out of my mind. Does Liam ever go to sleep? A few more minutes had passed by, and Liam set his phone on the side table. I saw him throw the covers over his body, and close his eyes. I think he's going to sleep. I waited a few more minutes, and I heard snoring, so he was asleep. I texted Harry:

Liam's asleep

Bout time! Meet me in the hallway.

Kk

I quietly climbed out of bed. I threw the robe off of me, and into my covers. I put a few pillows in the bed to make it look like I was there. I threw the covers over the pillows and robe. I unrolled my pant and shirtsleeves, and put on my boots and coat. I silently tiptoed out of the room, and into the hallway. When I got out I saw Harry standing there with his keys in his hand.

"Ready?" He whispered. I nodded, and we silently walked out to the parking lot. We reached the parking lot and got into Harry's car. I sat in the passenger's seat, while he got in the driver's seat. He started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

"Where are we going?" I asked Harry. I saw him grin, "You'll see."

I rolled my eyes, "You know it would be easier to just tell me."

Harry laughed, "But, wouldn't it be much more fun as a surprise?"

I shrugged, "I guess."

After about thirty minutes, Harry pulled up to the parking lot of some place. I couldn't tell where I was. I frowned, "Harry....?"

"You'll see," He replied. He grabbed my hand, and led me through the overgrown plants. He pushed past all the plants, and led me over to a clearing. I gasped when I saw where we'd be having our date. It was by a lake! There were candles surrounding a table on the sand. The small table was covered with food, perfectly arranged. "You did this for me...?" I asked in disbelief. He smiled, "Yes, all for you."

I grinned, and Harry took my hand, leading me over to the table. He pulled out the chair, and I sat down. He carefully pushed me in, and sat in his own seat. He dished out the food for me and himself. We started to eat, I looked at the lake, which was lit by the moonlight. This has got to be the most romantic date I've ever been on! I saw Harry still smiling, wow, he is happy. I have to admit, this is pretty amazing. Harry and I didn't say much, we didn't have to. The scenery said everything. Everything was absolutely perfect, like the world stopped for us. We finished eating, so Harry stood up, and walked over to me, "You know, I have more."

"More?" I asked. He intertwined his fingers with mine, "Follow me."

We walked along the sandy path, Harry leading the way. He walked me over to a dock. Along the dock were small rowboats. I gasped, "Whoa..."


"You like?" Harry asked. I smiled, "Love would be a better word."

Harry led me to one of the rowboats. He helped me down into one of them, and then came in after me. Harry grabbed one of the oars, and looked at it awkwardly, "Just warning you, I have no idea how to do this."

I giggled, "Hey, it will be fun!"


Harry started rowing the boat farther into the lake. I laughed as he was having trouble. It had to be the most fun I've had in a long time.

"Let me have a turn rowing!" I begged, and made a pouty face. Harry gave in, and handed me an oar. I was absolutely horrible at rowing. Harry laughed as I awkwardly slipped the oar into the water, and tried to push the water.

"Having trouble, love?" He asked. I giggled, "A little...."

"Why don't we take a break from rowing?" Harry asked. I shrugged, and stuck the oar in the boat, Harry did the same. I looked over at Harry. I could see his brilliant green eyes staring into mine.

"Nicole, I don't know how you feel about me, but I love you," Harry said, "I understand if don't love me, but I wanted to you to know that my love for you is true."

I looked down at the boat, blushing. I confirmed my feelings, and looked back into Harry's green eyes, "Harry, I never thought I'd love anyone but Niall, but I'm in love with you."

I saw Harry lean in, and I felt myself leaning in, also. Our lips connected, fitting together perfectly.
