Who Won The Girl (Harry Styles)

Chapter 18

[Ross' P.O.V]

I have given them a lot of time to bond. And by a lot, I mean I force Harry to spend some quality time with her or i'll 'steal her.' Blackmail, perhaps.

I'm starting to notice the way they look at eachother, my plan is already going fantastic. Alexis' eyes look up in excitement when she hears his voice. Harry's angry eyes soften at the sound of her voice. 

Their smiles. So genuine and sweet. Her nose crinckles and her eyes squint. His head tilts up and his dimples poke out at either side of his cheeks.

Their physical attraction. They blush at the slightest touch and long for more. They poke eachother teasingly. Harry rubs her back when they hug, she holds on tight, desperate to never let go. 

I may sound like a stalker. But this isn't just my attempt at ripping their relationship apart, this is a social experiment. You can call me Cole Sprouse. I've always been intrigued about how couples fall in love and it could be a perfect recipe for me. I need it in my life, even the slightest, or I just won't be satisfied. 

''No, you hang up.'' Harry says in a high pitched voice. He turns into such a girl when he talks to her. 

''No, no. You're the cutest.'' I hear a few mumbles from the phone before he replies again. ''Nope, do not object.'' 

''Not object as in an object, object as in don't go against me, you muppet.'' He tilts his head back into laughter. 

For God's sake, I think. This has to happen every second they're not together and it makes me want to yell my lungs out before taking the phone, throwing it on the floor and stomping on it with my foot. 

''Fine, we'll say bye at the same time.'' Harry giggles. ''3..2..1 bye!'' He hangs up, smiling to himself. 

He turns the TV channel to a boxing show and puts the remote down. 

Really? He was acting all lovey-dovey with a girl and now he acts all manly again like none of it happened. Interesting. 

''You two are the perfect match.'' I force myself to say.

''I know we are.'' Harry snaps back, I've lost my trust with him and It's hard work trying to gain it back. 

''So- do you ever think of maybe like..ever marrying her?'' I mentally slap myself. That was too far.

''Ross, I'm turning 17 in a month, which you should know since we were born on the same day.'' He states. I guess he's trying to say he's too young, in a more stubborn and rude way.

''I know, I was just wondering if you ever think about it.'' I try to stay as polite as possible. ''Because you'd have some good looking babies.'' I mentally slap myself again, this time harder. I have come to the realisation that we're twins and by saying that I basically said my kids with Alexis would be good looking as well.

Harry turns off the TV and gives me a worried look. A sort of 'you need help' look, if I'm honest. 

''Go to sleep, Ross.'' He turns his light off, snuggling under the covers.

But I can't.

I'm planning ruining your relationship.

''Okay. The human body does need at least 8 hours of sleep and if I dont fall asleep now I'll only have approximately-'' I look at my watch. ''6 hours and 42 minutes.''

****

''Mai.'' I call, trying to get her attention. I fail. ''Mai!'' I call again and she turns around, annoyed.

''One second, guys.'' She smiles at Harry and Alexis and gets up.

''What do you want?'' Her tone friendly, yet harsh at the same time.

''I have something to tell you.'' 

''Make it quick.'' She says, turning every few seconds, I presume to see if anyone is looking at her talking to me. How embarrassing for her.

[Alexis' P.O.V]

Ross is coming over to our table. No, no, no and big fat no. I promised Harry that I can't talk to him but I just hate this. I expected him to sit next to me, but instead, he calls for Mai. I can't help but feel a bit of dissapointment. 

I see them talking in the corner of the diner. His eyes were passionate about what he was talking about. Mai looked surprised, leaning in so he'd repeat the words again. She glances over and looks at Harry, still in shock. 

What was he saying?

I suddenly feel a rush of over-protectiveness. He can't say anything bad about him, rumours go around so quickly in this school. 

''You okay, babe?'' Harrys takes my hand away from my mouth, stopping me from biting my nails. They always give it away when I'm anxious. 

''Yeah, i'm fine.'' I force a smile. Mai plops herself back into her seat, her attitude completely different. She fluttered her eyes, played with her hair, chewed her gum more noticeably. She was almost being..flirty.

''So then I went into town-'' Harry starts and Mai bursts into fake laughter. 

''Um, I didn't even say anything funny?'' Harry furrows his eyebrows, looking confused. 

''I mean, I know that's rare but-'' He says, smirking to himself. 

''Oh dear, you really do think you're hilarious.'' I say looking at him, hopefully this will change the mood and give Mai a hint. 

''I am so funny! Admit it!'' He playfully grabs my throat. 

Mai coughs out loud, trying to snap us out from our conversation and acknowledge her existance. 

Why was she acting like this? She suddenly craved Harry's attention more than I crave chocolate, and that's a lot. Everytime she'd win and get his attention, i'd feel jealousy. Jealousy is the worst feeling a human can have. That burning sensation when someone you love pays attention to someone else. 

''Can we play a game?'' Mai says, confidently, chewing gum through her words.

''Let's call it the 'what's-your-favourite-thing-about-me' game, Alexis, you don't have to take part.'' Anger rushes up and down my body and I get up, taking my tray with me. Seconds later Harry follows me.

''Why is she acting like this?'' Harry narrows his eyes. ''That was so..sudden.''

''I don't know, I don't want to know.'' I say, but I secretly do want to know. 

SoOoOo what do u think Ross told Mai? commentttt!
