Chapter 3-Mothers Tea

Chapter 3

"Gabby! Hurry we're going to be late!" My mother yelled from down the hall. I doubt she was even in her dress but I obeyed and rushed out of my room. We were on our way to the annual mothers tea my school threw every year. I'm still puzzled to why I have to attended every year. Maybe it because my mother doesn't want to show up alone. I ruffled my fingers through my curled hair. I was wearing a red tight dress that had a slit at the bottom. My mother came down the stars in a navy blue dress that went to her knees.

"You look wonderful." She smiled.

"As do you." I returned the smile and walked towards the car. I stopped in my tracks. Liam was leaning against his car in front of me.

"Mom. What is he doing?" I turned to her.

"Well he's one of the waiters at the tea and he offered to give you a ride." She smiled as she nudged me forward. I groaned and walked to him.

"You look beautiful." He smiled.

"Thank you." I turned to face my mom and I waved good bye as I got into his car.

"My mom really likes you." I said. A small smile grew on his face.

"She does?" He said while raising an eyebrow. He grabbed my hand and his fingers intertwined with mine. I looked down at them. I didn't pull away.

When we arrived he held out his hand for me and I took it. We proudly walked through the doors of the hotel they were having the tea at. I saw harry, Niall, and Louis in the same uniform as Liam. I didn't know they were working as waiters as well. I quickly let go of Liam's hand as harry turned towards us.

"You look amazing." He said. I began to blush.

"I'm going to go find my mom." I smiled and walked past them. The tea was held outside. I sat next my mom and her friends. Harry brought us a salad.

"Here you go babe." He winked as he set the plate down in front of me.

"And who's this?" My mother interrupted.

"Oh I'm sorry ma'am. I'm harry, harry styles. Your daughter and I are in the same grade." He smiled and shook her hand. He set his hand on me and I felt knots in my stomach.

"Oh you can call me Gina." She laughed.

"Well I should be going. I'll be back. Nice meeting you." He smiled and walked off.

"I like him." My mom whispered in my ear. "But what about that other boy....what's his name? Liam?"

"Yeah. They're just friends mom." I rolled my eyes and took a sip of water.

"Hmmm from what I can tell they both show an interest in you."

I sat there bored until harry returned.

"Let me get that for you." He said as he picked up my emptied plate.

"Did you miss me?" He said so quietly so I would be the only one who could hear.

"Yes." I whispered back. He couldn't help but smile. And not his cocky smile a genuine smile.

All of a sudden there was a crash. Everyone turned towards the source of the noise. It was Liam. He had dropped the dirty plates of salad all over the floor. Everyone was quiet for a second.

"Uh sorry everyone." He said loudly and began to pick up the pieces. Embarrassment was written all over his face. Everyone continued to their small talk.

"I should go help him." I said to harry as I got up. I was suddenly pushed back down.

"No i will." Harry said and he walked off. The rest of the tea was boring. None of the boys came back to my table after that.

"Mom I'm going to get a ride with a friend." I said as I kissed her cheek and wandered off. I searched the lobby of the hotel for the boys. They were no where in sight. I came back out to where the tea was held and harry and Louis were cleaning tables.

"Do you want a ride home?" Liam asked me from behind. I jumped at the sound of his voice. Before I could answer harry interrupted us.

"Or I could take you home." He said as he walked towards me.

"I asked her first." Liam said through his teeth.

"Uh Louis. Will you take me home?" I asked.

"Uh sure." He smiled and I walked out with him. I turned back and harry and Liam were now inches apart. I got into Louis car. He was quiet.

"Why did you ask me to take you home?" He asked.

"I wanted to ask you something..." I quietly answered. He nodded giving me the signal to ask.

"It's just....you never really talk to me..."

"I'm just not into objectifying women like that. I'd want you to fall in love with the real me. But of course that interferes with the game....the game is just a small price to pay to have them as friends. Zayn....he had another idea."

I'd always wondered why the boys suddenly excluded zayn last year. I guess now I knew. I didn't say anything else. Louis drove me home and left without another word.
