Unpredictable Love

Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Karleigh's POV

"Do you have plans today?" I ask Harry as I search for something to wear in my closet.

"Yeah, sort of. I was hoping you'd come with me though?"

"Are you going to elaborate on your plans," I laugh lightly.

"Well a friend of mine, Zayn, he wanted to meet you, if you're okay with that..." Skepticism is hidden in his voice, but I can barely detect it. I stick my head out of the closet, so I can see his face.

He doesn't seem to notice me watching him, as he fiddles with his hands awaiting my answer. I step back into the closet, and continue looking over my clothes.

"Sounds good to me, let me find something to wear."

"Wear that shirt you wore to the graveyard, the one that said boom or whatever." Harry recommends.

It's amusing how he can remember my exact shirt from the day I took him to that cemetery, but I can't. I glance around my closet for a shirt that says 'boom or whatever' as Harry so descriptively put it. A gray crop top that says 'boom! bang! pow!' catches my attention, and I realize that's the shirt Harry was talking about. I grab it and smell it, just to be sure it's clean, before slipping it on over my head.

Once I've put on some red shorts and a flattering amount of make up, I enter my room and stare at Harry.

"Ready?" He asks and I nod.

He moves to get off of the bed, and puts his shoes on. His warm hand wraps around mine, and we walk down the hallway and through the living room to get to the front door.

"Leaving?" Aunt Jocelyn calls from the kitchen and I sigh.

"Yeah, I'll see you later." I grumble and practically drag Harry out of my house before Aunt Jocelyn could say another word.

Harry's POV

The apartment door swings open and a wide smile grows on Zayn's face when he sees Karleigh an I.

"Hey Zayn," I greet him.

"Hey mate, who's this lovely lady?" He already knows the answer to that question of course, but he's asking it for the sake of Karleigh.

"Zayn this is Kareleigh, Karleigh this is Zayn." My introduction is formal, and polite. Zayn open his arms widely, and wraps them around Karleigh. She looks at me with panic, and awkwardly pats Zayn's back.

I chuckle, but when Zayn's arms stay around Karleigh, I shift uncomfortably on my feet. "Hey, look who finally decided to show up!" A familiar voice calls out from behind Zayn, and I know it's Louis.

Karleigh and I enter the apartment, and I place my hand in the small of Karleigh's back. "Louis, hey!" I say to Louis who is now standing near to us, and gives me a knowing smile.

"Karleigh nice to see you again!" Louis greets her and she laughs lightly.

"Louis, if they told me you were gonna be here I wouldn't have come." She teases, and Louis feigns offense. He hugs her briefly before we enter the living room.

Niall waves at Karleigh and she casually waves back at him. "Hello, you two." Liam says from one of the couches. He's sitting next to a girl, and I know it's Danielle.

"Hey Danielle," I smile at her and she does the same. "This is Karleigh by the way." I introduce the two of them.

With Karleigh's hand in mine, I lead her to a nearby couch. Karleigh stops walking, and I turn to look at her. Her eyes are staring at something and I look to see what she's staring at. I glance over and see Todd sitting on the floor eating some food and I turn to Karleigh and raise my eyebrows.

"Hungry? There's food in the kitchen, c'mon." I tell her.
