Take One (A Harry Styles Fanfic)

Where Do You Get Abs Like That?

"I mean uh see you Monday then." I fumbled over my words trying to cover up my irrational question while staring at my nails. Harry chuckled and I heard the jingling of his keys, making me look up. He dropped his keys back on the table and sauntered over to my couch, plopping himself down on the tan fabric. My eyes followed him the whole way and I continued to stare at him for longer than comfortably acceptable.

"So are we going to watch a movie or not?" Harry smirked only causing me to redden all over again.

"What do you want to watch?" I thumbed to the videos that were on display above the DVD player after I got over my shock. So he actually wanted to stay?

"You pick. What's your favorite?"

I pulled a movie off of the shelf and loaded it into the player before taking a seat on the couch cushion as far from Harry as I could get.

"Really?" Harry raised an eyebrow from across the couch.

"What?" I opened the tin of M&Ms that I kept under the coffee table and put a few in my mouth while keeping eye contact with Harry. He laughed and slid onto the cushion between us. I continued to chew my candy as the opening screen came on to Aladdin. Harry groaned beside me.

"What? You told me to pick my favorite and it was closest! Besides it's almost one in the morning it's not like we're going to watch the whole movie."

"Yeah you're right. I'd much rather watch you." Holy cheese. Just when I though my face was finally unflushing he had to go and say something like that. I decided to blame his comment on the late hour and brushed hair over my cheeks to cover the pink skin.

I focused on the movie that I had seen ten thousand times and soon felt my eyes growing heavy. I sat up straighter and sneaked a glance at Harry. I had to stifle a laugh when I saw him singing along to Prince Ali silently.

"I don't want to watch this movie!" I teased in a whiny tone. He looked at me and rolled his eyes. It could have been the low lighting, but I thought I detected a blush on his cheeks.

"At least I'm not falling asleep!" He smirked and went back to watching the movie. I swallowed my last M&M and got up to get more from the kitchen. I sat the tin on the counter and pulled myself up beside it. I always put my candy on the top shelf of the cabinets above my sink because every time Emma visited, she would eat as many as she could hold so I started rationing them to her.

I groaned when I found the bag that I was searching for. It was almost empty which meant I had to buy more before Emma came back since M&Ms are her favorite candy.

"Are you sure we should be eating all of this right before we sleep?" Harry grabbed a handful from the tin as I dumped the last few in. I batted his hand away.

"Well you don't have to eat them!" I tossed the now empty bag into the trash with a salute. It was always sad when I had to throw candy bags away because it signified the death of another doomed diet.

I stepped around Harry, who was blocking the doorway, and jumped over the back of the couch into my spot. Harry sat down beside me, closer than he'd been before judging from the tingles he was sending up my spine. He was so close that if I just turned my head a tiny bit to the right...

His mouth opened in a yawn.

"Do you want to go to sleep? We don't have to watch this." I hoped that he hadn't caught me staring at him out of the corner of my eye. He shrugged his shoulders, but it was obvious that he was exhausted. "You can take my bed; I'll sleep on the couch." He shook his head, making his curls swing left and right.

"I'll sleep on the couch."

"No, I'll sleep on the couch."

"Really I'd prefer the couch."
