Lies

Chapter sixteen

    "Dude, what happened? How was it?" Hayley asked as soon as Adalynn opened her front door. Instead of asking why Hayley was still in her flat or answering her question, Adalynn shook her head and sat down on the couch where Hayley had moved her feet to allow some room. Her eyes were wide and her fingers still pressed to her lips as she stared off into the distance. Hayley took her silence as a negative thing and quickly scooted closer to Adalynn, pulling her into a hug.

      "Oh I'm sorry, love. What happened? Was he a dick? Was he rude? Did you have to crawl out of the bathroom window to get away from him?" Adalynn shook her head, not trusting her voice. "Did he climb out of the window...?" Hayley asked confusedly. Adalynn shook her head, still staring off into the distance. Irritated, Hayley grabbed Adalynn's shoulders and shook them. "Wake up!! What happened?! I need to know!!" Hayley screamed in her face, smelling of Oreos.

    "He kissed me." Adalynn said, her voice no more than a whisper. Hayley started flapping her hands like a penguin trying to fly.

    "Oh my god!!! Really?!" She screamed at.  Adalynn, who nodded. "Oh my god!! How was it?! Is he a good kisser?!"

    "Yeah. It was short, though." Adalynn nodded, as if reassuring herself, "I would very much like to do it again.... And... It was the weirdest thing...I felt like...sparks? I don't know how to explain it. But it was like...wow..." She said. Adalynn finally pulled her fingers away from her lips and looked at them as if she expected blood or something.

     "Oh my god Adalynn, you're in loveeeeee! It's just like all the fanfictions! " Hayley squealed. Adalynn hit her arm lightly.

     "Of course I'm not. I've only just met the guy."

     "Then it's love at first sight!" She continued squealing.

      Adalynn rolled her eyes, "There's no such thing."

    "You're such a party pooper."Hayley replied, sticking out her tongue at Adalynn. "How was the rest of the date?"

     "It was fantastic." She breathed, "he's like....so easy to talk to.  Except..."

     "Except??!?"

     "I-I lied to him. A little bit. Towards the beginning of the date... He asked if I was a fan... And I said no."

    "Why would you do that?!"

     "I-I don't know. I didn't want him to think I was a crazy fangirl."

     "But you are a crazy fangirl."

       Adalynn paused. "...Well yeah...but ...yeah."

      Hayley looked at Adalynn with concern. "He's gonna find out eventually." 

        Adalynn nodded, biting the inside of her cheek and staring off. "Yeah. I know."

  "Didya get laid?" Niall asked as Harry walked into Niall's flat. Harry would've gone home, but he was too excited to stay alone.

    "No but-"

    "Damn man. That sucks."

     "Shut up!" Harry laughed. "It was amazing. It couldn't have been better."

     "You could've gotten laid."

     "Niall!"

     "Okay, okay. Tell me your story." Niall said, crossing his legs and stroking his chin as if he were a psychologist.

      "She was gorgeous, and sweet, and adorable and she kept blushing and her laugh was adorable and she was funny sometimes too and oh my gosh it was amazing."

    "So you're like..in love with her then?"

   Harry looked away, blushing. "Of course not. It was just...a really good date."

    "Did you kiss her?"

    Harry grinned, "Yeah."

    "Aww." Niall teased. "You goin' on another date with her?"

     Harry bit his lip. "Yeah. Definitely. I mean...if she wants to." He said. "And  I really hope she does." He thought.
