The Truth Is | Harry Styles

Chapter 4 - The Mystery Of The Famous Fortune (pt.1)

"That was amazing," Harry said, pushing his plate forward. He then leaned back into his chair and looked at Mia, who was trying to finish her food.

"I'm actually glad that there's another girl to hang out with. Sometimes I'm the only one left finishing my food while the other boys are talking about leaving," Perrie said to Mia.

Mia motioned towards the door. "Feel free to leave if you want. I'll wait here with Perrie," She said.

"So what I'm hearing here is that you'll be paying for dinner?" Liam questioned. "If by me, you mean Harry, then yes," Mia said and laughed a little.

"Huh? What? I did not agree to that." Harry protested and sat up straight in his chair again.

Mia laughed. "Well you are my brother. I hope you know that terms and conditions do apply," She said. "In my defense you didn't come with an instruction manual. How was I supposed to know how complicated you were," Harry said.

Louis, who sat next to Harry, patted his shoulder. "Mate, I thought you would know by now that all girls are complicated. Not even an instruction manual will help you figure out how to handle them," He said.

"Because boys are so easy to handle," Perrie chirped in. "We are. Just give us food, beer and love, that's all we're asking for," Liam said. "And full access to the TV," Niall added.

Mia shook her head, "Do you guys even step outside when you have a break?" She asked.

"Outside? What is that?" Louis questioned, pretending to be dumbstruck. "I think it's the place that has that big orangey-yellow ball that sources light," Liam said. "I'm sorry. The only light I'm used to is one from a blub, or my computer, phone or TV screen." Louis said.

Mia shook her head disappointingly. "I'll help you find a therapist if you want. It seems like you really need one," She said looking to Louis.

"Love, the fact that we're five of the hottest guys in the world and you haven't fallen in love with one of us, simply states that you need therapy more than I do," Louis said.

Mia stared blankly at him and then looked as if she snapped out of her thoughts. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Your ego is so massive that I got lost in it," She said.

"Don't you mean my amazing blue eyes? I get that a lot," He said. Mia shook her head. "You need more than therapy Louis," She added.

Just then, before Louis could say anything, a waitress came to their table taking their plates and giving them all cookies.

"Ooooh, fortune cookies," Liam said opening his up. "You will soon meet a small, dark stranger," He read and laughed, he was soon joined by the rest of the boys.

"My turn," Niall said and then he opened his cookie wrapper too. "Adored by masses. Divergence is the secret," He said.

"Me next," Louis said. "Never blinded, not even by thick layers of fog." Louis' read.

No one else read his or hers. Zayn, Harry and Mia were deep in thought of what the meaning to their fortunes were and Perrie didn't even bother to open hers.

"Anyone else want a go?" Niall asked, but there were no responses, only confused faces looking at their little pieces of paper.

Mia didn't even hear what Niall asked because she was wondering what 'to find a refuge in those you will soon come to love and comfort in the hands of ones lost family, for destiny seeks that which lies in the heart and not what is thought in the mind' meant.

Mia woke up to someone banging on her door. "I'll be right there," She croaked. Yawning, she went to her bathroom, and found her contacts. She then put them in and went to the door. She opened it up as another yawn escaped her mouth.
