The Writer and the Singer (Harry Styles AU)

Chapter 15

     Chaise was in all of Aubrey's classes, so she finally had someone to partner up with during her afternoon classes. Aubrey didn't have any classes with her long time friend, Carolann, that year and only had a few in the morning with Marie and Lilly unfortunately. Carolann, Marie, and Lilly all seemed to be fond of Chaise, which pleased Aubrey. She was the closest to her out of all of them, however. 

     Aubrey was amazed at how caring, supportive, and witty Chaise proved herself to be. Late one night when Chaise was staying over at Aubrey's place, she admitted that she indeed fancied Niall, quite a lot it seemed. The more Aubrey got to know Chaise, the more it upset her that Niall hadn't expressed the feelings Aubrey knew he had for her. Months passed and it started to seem ridiculous to her. Aubrey wasn't one to meddle but she felt the need to help her friends.

     "Ey Niall, can you come with me to grab my books for my next class?" Aubrey asked.

"Sure." He smiled at her as he gathered his things. 

"Do you want me to come with love?" Harry offered.

"That's ok." Aubrey pecked his lips. As they turned to walk away, Chaise caught Aubrey's gaze and shot her a questioning look. She gave her sweetest smile and turned towards Niall.

     Once they walked out into the hallway Aubrey started, "Niall I'm not an idiot I see the way you look at Chaise and have heard you gush about her. For that reason, I'm telling you that I am positive she likes you too."

"Has she told you that?" He asked hopefully. The boy was incredibly sweet, but totally oblivious to the world around him.

"Yes, she has but I didn't say so."

"Huh." His grin was massive and a bounce was added to his step. Aubrey just laughed at his reaction. 

     Chaise raced into last period later that day, looking flushed and ecstatic. "Aubrey!" She squealed. 

"Yes?" Aubrey smirked at her.

"Niall, he- He asked me out!"

"Ah!" They shrieked. Ms. Cobalt looked up at them from her desk and shook her head, a smile playing at her lips.

"That's bloody fantastic Chaise!" Aubrey was really happy for both Chaise and Niall. 

"I'm so excited! You should've seen him when he asked. He kept stuttering and he was just adorable!" She continued to gush and Aubrey sat listening feeling a little smug.  "Is that what you two talked about when you left from lunch?" She asked. 

"Not exactly. I mentioned that you liked him and he was jazzed for the rest of the time." Chaise giggled.

"That's so great!" 

"So when is he taking you out?" 

"Tonight. He's picking me up."

"Where are you going?"

"He didn't say where, just that we were going out to dinner. I hope it's nowhere too fancy because I just want it to be how it usually is between us, you know?" 

"Yeah. Just act how you usually do and he'll do the same. He obviously fancies you, so just be you." Aubrey reassured. 

"Thank you so much, Aubrey. I'll call you when I get back." Aubrey nodded and Chaise made her way back to her seat. 

     Aubrey sat with a cup of tea at her side and a book open on her lap when Chaise called her that night. "Oh Aubrey it was perfect!" Chaise started as soon as Aubrey picked up the phone. "He drove all the way to this burger place we went to all the time as kids. We even shared a milkshake and he started singing, "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard." I was laughing so hard I started crying. He's such an idiot. Then he said, "I've been waiting to do this forever," and then he kissed me! Aubrey it was flawless, he's flawless."

"Aw that's sweet. That milkshake thing really gets me." They both laughed.
