Happily Ever After

Chapter 5

Author's Note: 

Oh goshie. My friends don't know I've been writing stories on Wattpad cause I never tell them. It's funny actually. At school, I'm some crazy loud girl who's always smiling and joyful and all that wonderful chiz but at home, I'm more of a mysterious person who never says what she feels or thinks. Enough about me. ON WITH THE STORY!

HARRY'S POV 

Where was I taking her? It's not far. It's actually pretty close to where she lived which was actually a lucky strike. (Aha Lucky Strike is a Maroon 5 song. Dayum that was a good one.) I liked her more than when I first met her. I got to know Kai this time and not mystery girl. Mystery girl was a quiet and shy person who most certainly didn't like getting spilled on by coffee. She seemed unsure of herself at the moment and seemed to enjoy silence. Kai over here is still shy but also funny, joyful and could laugh off that coffee spill. She seemed to never shut up which meant she kept life interesting. They both, still had that same smile except Kai's was just a little bit brighter. 

"Where are we going?" Kai asked taking a long stride trying to keep up with me. 

I smiled at her and slowed down. "I told you, it's a surprise." 

She frowned up at me. "Just a tiny hint?" 

I thought for a moment. "A place you will remember." I grinned down at her. 

She raised an eyebrow. "This better be good Styles. I've got a curfew." 

"Your parents moved here with you?" I asked avoiding a man standing in the middle of the sidewalk and pulling Kai closer to me. 

"No." Kai answered. "They're still back at home. My friend set it. And I think I have to be home by ten. I dunno. I forgot." 

I smiled at how careless she was. "Is this a rebel here?" 

"Yeah." She answered. "I used to sneak out windows to go to parties before." I looked at her. "Just kidding." She laughed. Dayum that laugh she had was so cute.

I rolled my eyes and continued walking hand in hand with her.  "Do you play sports?" I asked her out of the blue. 

"Well that was random." She laughed. "Yeah. I play soccer. If you don't know what that is, it's football." She said 'football' in a British accent. "I played hockey for a year, then volleyball and in the summer I'd always wake board." 

"I see you've got that British accent on the way." I winked at her. "And also, I think I could whip your butt at soccer with my eyes closed." 

She blushed a little. "It's coming along." She said in a British accent again. Her playful features were replaced with a competitive one and her accent disappeared. "Maybe you could whip my butt with your eyes closed but not before I could whip your's first."

"Is that a challenge I smell?" I asked looking down at her. "Oh wait. That's just your perfume." 

She laughed. "I didn't wear perfume." I looked at her again. "No really." She said, her smile disappearing. "I honestly didn't wear any." She held her free hand up in defense. 

"Oh." I said. "Well then, if you took a shower, then I need to use some of your shampoo. At least please tell me you took a shower." 

She raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "If it makes you feel better." 

  We laughed and walked the rest of the way in a non awkward silence. 

I took her to Hungerford Bridge just over the Thames River. (Anyone wanna come here with me?) 

"Well," I said. "We're here." I brought her over to the edge of the bridge. "What do you think?" 

She looked at me smiling brightly. "I love it." She smiled. "It's very pretty but, I just have one question." I nodded too afraid to answer with words. Did she really like it? "Why did you choose this bridge?" 

I felt my cheeks warm. I scratched the back of my head and leaned my elbows against the railing. "Well," I began. I looked over at the river flowing under us. "I'll be completely honest with you. I chose this bridge because it was the closest and I chose a bridge because..." I trailed off my cheeks beginning to warm again. I could see Kai smirking at me from the corner of my eye. "Well because its the most romantic thing I could think of." I finally blurted out. 

Her eyes widened. "Romantic?" 

"Look." I breathed. "I really like you Kai. There's something about you that makes you so..." I hesitated looking for the word. "You." I looked back at the water. 

She raised an eyebrow. "What's so about me?"

I thought for a minute. "I'll put it this way." I looked at my hands. "When I met you at the coffee shop, you were different from all those other girls I've liked before. You were very simple. You weren't wearing makeup or those slutty outfits. You were yourself. You didn't flip out and try to impress me or act differently when you found out I was Harry Styles." I looked up at her to find her grinning. 

"Oh no, go on, I like hearing good things about myself." 

I smiled. "And for the whole walk, I got to know Kai and I wanna get to know her more. I can make your fairytale end with happily ever after and show you that love doesn't always suck." I looked back up at her.

She had no emotion at all. "I- I have no idea how to respond to that." Oh god. That was a rejection line. She didn't like me back. She was gonna leave me. "But, I must say, I do want my fairy tale to end in happily ever after. And I also want a guy who loves to compliment me as much as I love to compliment myself." I looked at her. "So yes... Wait what am I supposed to say after yes?" 

I laughed a little. "You'd be my girlfriend?" 

She smiled and nodded at me. "I do like you too. You know what I mean by you right? I do like you for who you are." 

I nodded and hugged her laughing. "God, I thought you were gonna say no." 

She laughed and hugged me back. "I am a good actor aren't I." 

"If I say yes, promise me not to do that again?" I asked holding up my pinky finger up at her. 

She looked at me as if I was stupid. "Are you crazy? I'm not gonna give up something that fun." She laughed and hooked her pinky with mine. "But maybe just this one time." She whispered with a grin. I grinned  back. "Now you have to say it. Kai..."

"You are the most amazing actor." I said sarcastically.

"With feeling!" She huffed.

"Kai, you are the most amazing actor." I said a little more enthusiastically.

"That'll pass." She grinned. "For now. We should practice."

I laughed and wrapped an arm around her. "Come on. Let's go ride the London Eye."

We walked across the bridge to the giant Ferris wheel. 

In the time I got to talk to Kai and take that walk with her, I had just gotten to know her but it seems as though I've known her for so much longer. 

Kai, I promise I will make your fairy tale end in happily ever after. 

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Well, I'd say its coming along nicely... At first in the beginning, I was just like meh but when I started writing towards the end, I'm like ou, this is getting good. Oh by the way. My name isn't Kairra. It's my friend's cousin's sister's name and I thought the way she spelled her name was really cool so I'm like why not use her name for the story? Anyways, I don't want this story to get too over dramatic and all dat but comment or what not on what you think so far. Alrighty thanks :) xx
