Tempting Styles

Chapter Twenty Five

*Harry's pov*

What was I going to do on my first date with Dru? This question had been haunting me the whole morning and I still couldn't come up with something good. I let myself drop on my couch and thought of all the choices I had: Dinner and a movie, cooking her dinner, fancy restaurant and a movie. I stopped, realizing those options were all the same, crap!

I need to come up with something good! I thought, I'd been wanting to go on a date with Dru since I had admitted to myself that I actually fancied her and now that I could I was unable to think! "Ugh!" I groaned in frustration. I looked around my living room searching for some sort of inspiration and my gaze landed on my laptop which was on the floor at my feet. Aha! I'll google it! I decided, getting up and grabbing it before sitting back on the couch. I am so clever, I smiled to myself. I opened google and typed in 'ideas for first dates' and hit enter. A bunch of links showed up and I opened almost every single link on the first 3 pages, however it wasn't long after I began researching that I realized it was pointless. The advice they gave only seemed helpful to twelve year old girls who decided to go on their first ever date.

Why can't I think of any good ideas? I hadn't been on a proper date for a while since most people I went out with were famous and liked to go to fancy restaurants. I knew Dru wouldn't feel comfortable over there so I was utterly confused. And also, why was I so worked up over a date?! I must really like Dru, I decided, knowing that there was no other explanation as I tossed the laptop on the cushion next to me.

I sat on the couch for a little while longer, hopelessly trying to come up with something good to do on our first date, before deciding I needed help. I pulled my phone out of the pocket of my sweat pants and dialed the number of a boy who was just as good as me at charming the ladies.

"Hello?" said a deep Irish voice.

"Hi, Niall! I need some help..."

"What's up?" Niall asked from the other end, sounding a bit sleepy. Was it too early to call? I wondered checking my watch. Eleven o'clock, way too early for him, I thought but I didn't really care as it was urgent.

"I'm going on a date with Dru and..." I began to explain but I was cut off.

"Good for you, lad! Not too long ago you refused to acknowledge your feelings for her and now you are finally going on a date with her! But I mean we all knew it would happen..." He told me cheerily in his thick Irish accent ending the sentence with a massive yawn.

"But there's a problem." I informed him. "This is going to sound ridiculous but I don't know what to do with her on our first date!"

On the other end Niall was quiet for a moment and I wondered if it was because he was thinking or because he was holding in laughter. Hopefully the first as I felt stupid enough without having someone laughing hysterically at me the way Niall often did.

Niall answered breaking the silence, and thankfully he said five words that took me out of my misery. "I have a good idea..."

*Dru's pov*

I came home after shopping with Daniel for the whole morning, wondering why Harry wasn't answering any of my texts. He had texted me once, announcing that our date would be tonight but he hadn't given me any details and when I asked he hadn't answered. How was I supposed to know if I had to go somewhere? What time was he picking me up? How I should dress? "Ugh!" I groaned out loud causing Daniel to look at me.

"Don't worry, Harry will text back!" My best friend reassured me as he put the grocery bags on the kitchen counters. I hadn't even voiced my thoughts but Daniel knew exactly what I was thinking about however I didn't find it creepy as he had seemed to be able to read my mind since the moment we became friends.
