Chapter 8: Just friends?

Harry's POV :)

        I think I scared Lexi by taking my shirt off in front of her. She looked nervous. But, I'm used to it. I make thousands of girls go crazy everyday. Suddenly, my phone started to ring.

        "Hello?"

        "Hey Haz." It was Louis. 

        "Louis? Where are you guys?"

        "We are about to pull up into Lexi's driveway right now. Are you ready to go?"

        "Well, actually we are just about to eat dinner? You guys wanna join us?"

        "FOOD?!?!" I heard Niall yell in the background. Then I heard a swish noise in the background.

        "I'll be there!" Niall yelled through the phone. I laughed.

        That was the first time I had laughed in a while. And it actually felt good.

Lexi's POV :)

        I'm glad that Harry is staying over for dinner. This is kind of making up for me being a bitch to him earlier. But, also he gets to actually do something instead of being a couch potato like the other boys were saying. Suddenly I heard the doorbell ring. It's probably the other guys. I opened the door.

        "Hey Lexi!" they all said in unison

        "Hey you guys. Are you all staying for dinner?"

        "Yeah," Niall said. "Harry already asked us to stay. And plus I love me some food," he said and then licked his lips.

        "You are so silly Niall," I laughed.

        Suddenly, my mom started walking towards us.

        "Hey mom! These are Harry's friends, Louis, Liam, Zayn, and Niall."

        "It's nice to meet all of you," my mom said.

        "It's nice to meet you too Ms.-"

        "Fuentes. But you can call me Marissa if you want to."

        "Dinner should be ready in a second. Can you guys help me out by setting up the table?"

        "Sure thing," all of them replied.

        "Lexi can you come and help me with the food please?"

        I followed my mom into the kitchen where she turned on the water so the boys could not hear our conversation.

        "You didn't tell me that Harry had cute friends too."

        "I didn't feel like it was that important mom."        

        "Well, if I was your age I would have died if I went out with one of them," she laughed.

        "I don't like them like that mom. We are just friends. JUST FRIENDS."

        "Okay, okay. Talk to me in a couple weeks and then tell me how you feel."

        I helped my mom take the food outside of the kitchen and set it on the table. Niall's eyes lit up. We were having Italian food tonight.

        "FOOOODDDDD!" he yelled. Clearly, this boy loves his food.

        We all put food on our plates and started eating. I was sitting in between Harry and Zayn. I'm surprised that they even sat that close to each other. Maybe they are just used to fighting with each other all the time? Once we all finished dinner we just sat at the table and talked with each other. At about 11 that was when the boys decided to leave.

        "Thanks you for the dinner Ms. Fuentes." 

        "Anytime boys. Anytime!"

        "Bye Lexi! See ya tomorrow." 

        Harry was the last one out the door. He looked at me straight in the eyes and gave me one of those looks. It seemed like he didn't want to leave. It makes me feel better to know that he didn't want to leave. Harry isn't that bad after all.
