Stella’s POV:
After an amazing shower, it is time to get ready for our dinner. I can hear voices out in the living room of the hotel and I know that everyone must be home by now. Harry walks over to the closet and asks for my opinion on what he should wear. “Well, it is kind of a fancy restaurant so why don’t you wear black jeans, and that black t-shirt you have with all the hearts on it. I like that one.” I tell him and he smiles. “You do, do you?” he smirks. “Yes Harry, I do. Now go change.” I tell him and smack his bum playfully. He laughs and kisses my cheek before grabbing the clothes out of the closet. “Hm, now what should I wear.” I wonder out loud. “I would say for you to wear nothing but that would mean that everyone would see what’s mine.” Harry comments cheekily. Man is he ever in a playful mood right now. I giggle and toss a pillow in his direction. “Very funny Styles.” I joke.
After changing into a pair of black silk pants and a black and white stripped flowy t-shirt, I apply some makeup and dark red lipstick and I am good to go. I slip my feet into shiny black pumps and head out into the living room to chat with everyone. The only ones ready so far are Louis, Niall and I. “Wow, don’t you all look spiffy.” I joke. “We do, don’t we.” Louis says tugging on the lapels of his blazer. “You look beautiful Stel.” Niall compliments. “Thanks Niall!” I smile. “I’m going to go check on Cristina.” I inform them and head into Niall and Cristina’s shared room. “Knock knock!” I chirp as I knock lightly on the door as I enter. “Hey! Wow, you look hot! Your ass looks amazing in those pants Stel!” Cristina says as she jogs over to me and forces me to spin around. “Harry is going to die when he sees your ass in those.” she laughs. “Oh my God. Okay, why aren’t you dressed yet?” I ask her as I eye her half-dressed body. She is only in a bra and panties. She half smirks at me. “If you would have walked in about five minutes ago, you would know why.” she says giggling. “Ugh, I don’t even want to know…” I roll my eyes. “Niall and I were just on the bed and then we-“ she beings. “Sh! Stop!” I cry covering my ears and she laughs. “I’m just kidding; I’m not going to tell you. “ she says laughing. “Okay, seriously though, get dressed!” I tell her. “I am, I am. Should I wear this?” she says holding up a really gorgeous pale pink shift dress. “Yeah, I love that dress, and then wear your nude sandals with it. I can put your hair into a sock bun if you want to.” I tell her and she nods. “Okay!”
Once Cristina is all dressed, I tie her hair up into a sock bun on the top of her head and we head out into the living room. “Wow, don’t you guys look nice!” Alex compliments. “Thanks bro!” I say as I punch his arm playfully. “Okay, is the car here yet?” I ask. “Yeah it’s been waiting downstairs for ten minutes now. Let’s go!” Harry says pulling me towards him. I roll my eyes and walk ahead of him giving him a perfect view of my bum. I turn and wink at him making sure to shake my hips as I walk. His eyes widen and he bites his lip. He grabs my hand and pulls me towards him. He leans down to my ear and I feel his lips slightly brush over the tip of my ear. I get shivers down my whole body. “When we get home, I’m taking those pants off of you, because as good as they look on, I would love to know what’s under there.” he says as he nips at the skin behind my ear. Oh. His hand slides down my back and he squeezes my bum gently. “Is that alright with you?” he whispers seductively. “Mhm.” I mumble. He takes a step away from me and we walk into the elevator. “Stella, what’s wrong?” Alex asks me once we are all inside. “N-nothing.” I whisper quietly. I can feel my cheeks heat. I look at Harry and he winks. “Nothing at all.” Harry mumbles. Oh man. “Okay…” Alex says giving me a weird look. “You know, you’re just as strange as you were when you lived at home.” he jokes. “Ha-ha. Very funny. And you’re just as annoying as you were when I lived at home.” I retort and he laughs.
Once the car pulls up to the restaurant, there is a crowd of people waiting in front, including paparazzi. How do they know where we are going to be at all times? "If they try to ask you questions, just ignore them. Don't react if they try to get a rise out of you." I instruct Alex. He has a pretty bad temper and I know that if they say anything to offend me or our family, my brother will lose it. He nods. "Alex I mean it." I say again. "Okay, okay." he says. The driver walks around to the door of the car and opens it for us. Niall and Cristina get out first and the rest of us follow. Alex gets out behind Harry and I and I loop my arm through his while Harry holds my other hand. "Stella, are you doing a threesome tonight? Who is this? Another guy to add to your list?" the paparazzi taunt. Now they've gone too far. "He's my brother you sick perv." I say rolling my eyes. Harry squeezes my hand and Alex laughs. We push through the crowd and enter the restaurant. Once we are seated at our table, the waitress immediately brings us some water and the menus. "Wow, they really are pigs." Alex laughs. "Why are you laughing? And I told you they were." I tell him placing the napkin on my thighs. "Because, you're the one that told me not to say anything and not to react and then you yelled at him!" Alex says laughing. "What? Did you want them to think that we are a thing?" I ask him and he nearly pukes. "Okay ew. That's gross. End of conversation." Alex says taking a large sip of his water. The rest of us laugh and Harry's hand finds my thigh. I feel him give me a small squeeze and then he removes his hand again. "So are we all excited for rehearsals to start? This is our last Friday before we have to practice!" Niall says. "I don't know about you guys, but I can not be more excited!" I tell him clapping my hands together. "I'm excited to see you're first show Stel!" Alex says smiling at me. "And what about us? You don't want to see us?" Louis asks all offended. "Meh, not really." Alex jokes. Louis tosses his napkin at Alex and I am so happy to see that they are all getting along.
