The Crush That I Thought I Knew

Awkward and Exciting

I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about the kiss with Louis..does he like me? I only love him as a friend. Nothing more. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore, I really hope he doesn't like me.

**two weeks later**

I did my daily routine as usual. I put on some boy shorts and pulled a random tank top over my head. Sighing I put my hair up in a messy bun and walked out of my room not caring of my appearance. My feet padded into the kitchen and I spotted Louis and Liam leaning against the couter talking but their mouths shut once they saw me.

"beautiful" Louis blurts, he looks away. I don't think he meant to say that out loud. My cheeks flushed and I thanked him quietly. Liam gives me a warm smile "goodmorning Astrid" he says and I return the smile "goodmorning Liam..and Louis" I say

Harry, Niall, and Zayn walk in the kitchen with smiles on their faces. It's nice to see Niall smiling after what happened two weeks ago. Harry gives me a dimpled smile walking towards me.

He wraps his arms around my waist pulling me closer and I give him a warm smile. "goodmorning" he says with his raspy morning voice making my smile grow "goodmorning Harry" I giggle and he leans in giving me a peck on the nose making me giggle again.

"I swear if you giggle one more time I will throw you on the bed and fuck you" he says his tone serious and I gasp at his words smacking his chest playfully. Harry chuckles. "you're the one making me giggle Harry" I say and he smirks "exactly" he winks and I roll my eyes a smile playing at my lips.

I sit at the kitchen table feeling myself get hungry. Zayn goes into the fridge pulling out a bag with red liquid inside. I lick my lips "Zayn?" I say playing with my fingers and he hums in response "I-I...is that blood?" I ask pointing at the bag in his hands and he smiles nodding "you hungry?" he asks

I nod pouting. Zayn chuckles pouring it in two cups. He hands me one which I chug. I feel much better and I thank Zayn. I see that Niall was speaking with Liam. Harry was chatting with Louis while Zayn and I talked getting to know each other.

"tell me about your childhood" Zayn smiles and my smile fades as I shift in my seat uncomfortably. Zayn notices and bit his lip "never mind I don't want to push" he says smiling and I give him a small smile thanking him.

"any siblings?" Zayn asks me and I shake my head laughing slightly "how about you?" I ask and he nods "I had 3 sisters but no brothers" he chuckles and I couldn't help but feel bad when he said 'had' as in past tense.

"when's your birthday?" I ask him "January 12" he answers and I gasp "mine is in January too!" I say and he laughs "what day?" he asks and I smile widely "New Years!" I say happily and Zayn laughs

"you've got to be joking" he says and I shake my head "seriously" I say and he smiles "that's pretty cool. Makes your birthday very special" he says and I nod "makes what very special?" Niall asks joining in on our conversation.

"her birthday. It's on New Years" Zayn explains to Niall and his eyes grow wide "are you serious?!" Niall asks in astonishment and I nod "wow that does make it very special" he says making giggle but I quickly shut up when I remembered Harry's words.

"I swear if you giggle one more time I will throw you on the bed and fuck you"

I felt Harry's eyes on me making me feel uncomfortable. I let my eyes wonder until they locked with Louis'. Louis looks away a small smile on his lips. I stared at the ground and gasped "let's make this movie night!" I say excitedly getting their attention.

I look at Liam to see him smiling "that's a brilliant idea" Louis says and I give him a small smile.

I popped in a movie into the dvd player and squeeled silently to myself. I wanted to watch a horror movie just for the excitement even though I'm scared shitless of horror movies.
