Blush

Chapter 14

"Zayn told me you've really only been outside of Bradford a few times, so I'm gonna show you around." (A/N: Ha! I tricked you!)

"Ooh really? Where are we going?"

"Everywhere."

"I'm pretty sure that's not possible."

He crossed his arms, "Oh really?"

"Yeah, unless you're Phineas and Ferb." I said in a matter of fact tone, rolling my eyes.

"We'll see about that."

"Mhm."

"Let's go."

I unbuckled my seat belt as soon as I realized we were parked in a parking lot. I opened and shut the door behind me as I read a sign that said, 'Public Parking Lot  £2.' 

Gosh, he's wasting a lot of money today.

He grabbed my left hand once more and I adjusted the jacket that he let me borrow earlier.

"So, where are we going first?" I curiously asked as we walked to the bus stop down the street.

"Where do you want to go?" He emphasized on the word 'you.'

"Weeellllll, I wanna go to-"

"Too bad, you can't choose!!" He yelled. In my ear.

"Ugh, you're a meanie." I tried my best not to swear. I think I'm doing pretty good.

"I'm sorry what was that?" Harry purposely acted dumb.

"I thought I told you I don't like dumb people, aka you."

"You don't like me?!" He is sooooo dramatic.

"Ask me when this date's over." I smirked.

'He probably won't remember.'

"Nooo, tell me nowwww." He whined.

"I have a feeling we're not going on a second date." I sing songed.

"What?" His lips turned into a frown.

"I'm just kidding!" His lips curled back into a smile.

'Let's play with him.' 

I mischievously grinned.

"No, I'm not." My expression turning completely serious.

"Wha-"

"Ask me by the end of this date."

'Let's see if he can remember 2 things.'

"Can you write it on a post-it note and stick it on my head?" He rhetorically asked.

"Sure, do you have one?" I played along.

"Yeah, one sec let me get one out of the car." He let my hand go and turned around, fake walking towards the car.

He turned back around and started chuckling. I joined him giggling as we sat down on the freezing cold bench.

"You have a cute laugh." 

I looked down muttering a 'thanks' when I felt him lift my head up.

'Woahhhh! We. Are. So. Freaking. Close.'

"You're blushing." He smirked proudly.

'If only you knew.'

"My cheeks are pink from the cold, thank you very much." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh really?"

"Yup! Ask Zayn. I don't blush."

"Surreeee."

I turned my head so I was facing a pole with the words 'BUS STOP' written in big, bold letters.

"It's true."

"Mhm."

I felt him scoot closer to me, so I turned my face again to ask what he was doing when I noticed we were even closer than before.

'It's only the first date, he's not gonna try to kiss me right?'

Something in me wanted to kiss him on those plump, pink lips, but another part said it was too early. Before I could make a decision the sound of a bus beep filled my ears and we both immediately turned towards the sound.

"Shit-oh, uh, sorry." Harry stuttered.

"Um, yeah. We should go."

We stood up and walked towards the double decker bus, that would drive us around London. He completely ignored grabbing my hand and I have to admit: I kinda wanted him to.

"Ladies first." 

"Thank you." I stepped onto the first of 10 steps that led up onto the top level of the bus, with Harry close behind.

As I walked to the back I noticed that we were the only people on this level except for an elderly couple in the first seat.

I took the seat next to the, let's call it 'imaginary window', on the right side. Harry sat to my left and I felt the familiar warmth in my hand.

"Sorry about earlier." He rubbed soothing circles on the back of my hand.

I looked at him, "It's okay." I said finishing with a smile.

"Good."

A few minutes of silence passed before I broke the silence, "I thought you were going to show me around."

"Oh yeah, change of plans. I'm too lazy to walk. I think I've been hanging around you for too long." He smirked.

"Uhh, puh-leazzzeee! You haven't known me that long." 

"You're right, but then you're wrong because you just admited you are lazy, so ha!"

"Ughhh, forget you."

"I don't think that's possible."

"You're so full of yourself."

"Yeah, okay."

"Just tell me what all these places are." I said waving my hands around like a lunatic.

"Alright."

A/N: Sorry for the long wait. Hold up, is 5 days long? Oh well, hope this chapter works for you. On another note, I got braces! I really hope Lauren doesn't read that before tonight. Lauren: if you did...surprise!!!

My teacher was like 'Take out a sheet of paper and write anything you want on it,' so I wrote lyrics from 'Little Me' and 'These Four Walls,' cuz things have been happening and those songs are sorta describing everything right now.  I let my friend see it when she walked by and she took it. Then, my teacher's like 'Why do you have Arlene's (yeah that's my name) paper?' And she took it and started reading it and I'm like 'O mah gosh (x3).' After, she looked at me and was like 'Did you write that?' And I'm like 'No,' but I wanted to say yes. Is that bad?

Well, yeah, onto my last random fact.

Random Fact #10: 'These Four Walls' is my life.
