"Maybe I'm not as bad as you think. Maybe if you just tried to get to know me." His green eyes glimmered under the moonlight, his lips pulled back in a lopsided grin. But then his face changed. His grin grew into a polite smile and he whispered, "Wake up."
I shot out of bed. It was still dark out, so I had probably only gotten an hour of sleep. I had never been much of a sleeper, because of the insomnia. Everyday, I woke up at 4 in the morning. Thr dreams scared me enough to wake me up.
I rubbed my eyes hard and went into the bathroom. I soaked up a washcloth with warm water and laid it across my face. After a few minutes, I told myself to get up and go do something productive.
I walked I to the hallway and peeked into the lounge to see the boys and my sister , sprawled out on the floor. Robin always fall out of bed when she's asleep. She must of done it while I was asleep.
The kitchen was a mess but I didn't feel like cleaning it just yet. I made myself a cup of coffee and sat down at the counter, sipping it and reading some bills. I rubbed my eyes again but because the dream rushed through my brain again. How Harry's grin turned into Louis' smile. It just didn't make sense.
That reminded me. Where was Harry? I didn't even see Louis with everyone else.
I walked out the front door and into the apartment hallway.
Louis and Harry were fast asleep by my apartment door, Louis's arm around Harry's waist. I laughed under my breath, but Harry's eyes opened at the sound. I instantly regret having a voice box.
"Morning." I whispered, smiling.
He threw Louis' arm off of him and sat up. "Morning." He shook his hair out of his eyes and my heart melted. My smile went away and my mind raced back to last night. I immediately regret letting my sister bribe me to let the boys come to the apartment.
Harry stared up at me, giving me a curious look. "Why are you staring at me like that?" he asked.
"Why are you sleeping out in the hallway?"
He looked around him. "I really don't know." He smiled. He stood up and shook his hair once more.
"So are we just going to stand out here or are we going to drag Louis inside?" he whispered.
I shrugged my shoulders and went to pick up his arms, while Harry took the legs. We dragged him into the living room inside the apartment and laid blankets across him. I went back into the kitchen and Harry followed.
"What time is it?"
"About 4."
Harry groaned. "Thanks for waking me up." he said, playfully.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I got lonely. Tea?" I offered.
He nodded his head and I handed him a cup. We sat on the counter, across from each other.
"What time did you come back?" I asked.
"A little after you. You know, for an adult, you really are immature. Always running away from your problems."
I think it was meant to be a joke, but it really hurt. Come back, Roxy, comeback.
"And for a child you really know how to observe people well." Oh come on! That was a compliment, not an insult!
"Child?" he smirked.
"In my eyes." I replied, smiling. "I'm not immature." I defended.
"Riiiight."
"You know in health when you learn about stress? Fight or flight?" Nod. "I was flying." Harry laughed.
"Whatever you wanna call it, it's still running away."
Harry hopped off the counter and walked over to where I was sitting on the counter. He put an arm on each side of the counter beside me, trapping me into a corner. My breath got caught in my throat and I clenched my fists around my coffee mug.
"I know I have an effect on you." he whispered.
"Oh really? And how do you know that?" I smirked.
He brought his hand up to my cheek and brushed it with my cheek and brushed it with his fingertips. "The way you blush whenever I look at you." He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. "When you can't even look me in the eyes when I'm talking to you." his hand slid down my arm, spreading goosebumps all over my body. "When you clench up your muscles." His face was an inch from mine. "That's probably a good indication."
I couldn't find my voice for a few moments. "I-I don't know what your talking about."
He cursed under his breath and walked away from me, back to his spot on the counter. I let to of the breath I was holding.
"Why do you do that?" he asked.
"Do what?" I said, quizzically.
"Act like you're interested but when I try to make a move, you push away."
"I don't want you to make a move. I may act but that doesn't mean anything."
"Maybe it means something to me."
"Doubt it."
"You don't know what I'm feeling."
"True."
The conversation stopped there, when I hopped off the counter and Ito the living roommate to watch tv. I'm guessing Harry didn't want to talk to me because he didn't follow. I switched on the tv and watched Doctor Who until my eyes drifted closed.
"Roxy!"
My eyes opened to find Niall staring at me. He smiled and I couldn't help but smile when I saw his jcheery face. "Morning. How long have I been asleep?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.
"Well its 10 o'clock now."
"Wow. I slept a lot."
"We made breakfast." Niall said and helped me up off the couch. When I walked into the kitchen, I was welcomed by 4 "Morning"s from Liam, Louis, Zayn, and Robin.
"Morning." I said. "I smell bacon." I sniffed the air.
"Tut tut." Louis said, whipping me with a wet rag. "Sit. We must feed her!"
All the boys gave Louis a weird look and me and Robin laughed.
Zayn set a plate of food before me. Breakfast consisted of French toast stuffed with strawberry cream cheese, eggs, bacon, and homemade hash browns.
"Mm. It smells so good." I moaned.
"We made Liam run to the grocery store to pick up groceries. You were a little low on everything. Plus he deserved it. He's looking a little fat." Louis sat, patting Liam's stomach. Liam swatted at his hands.
"Stop." Liam warned.
"Watcha gonna do about it?" Louis said putting his fists up in a fighting stance. He had flour all over him and my link apron on so no one could take him seriously. Liam grabbed him in a headlock and started pretend punching him in the stomach.
When everyone calmed down, we sat down at the table and started eating.
"Eh, where's Haz?" Niall asked.
I looked guiltily into my plate of food and began shoving my face full of food.
"Probably at Caroline's." Louis said.
My head shot up. "Who's Caroline?"
"Harry's girlfriend. Caroline Flack." Zayn answered.
"Ew, isn't she like 30 years old?" Robin asked.
Louis nodded his head. "Something like that. They met during the X-Factor. Aren't I an amazing cook?"
Robin frowned. "I thought he was better than that."
The topic ended and went into about what we wanted to do today but I didn't hear anything.
Harry has a girlfriend? Why was he flirting with me?
And why's she so old?
