One Direction - For Better or For Worse

Chapter 12

Harry's POV

*One Month Later*

Charles has been spending the night a lot lately, which isn't a bad thing! I love having her over! She even leaves her things here so she can have them. The problem is I think she should just move in. But I have no idea how that would look in the press or how she would react to it. I'm thinking about asking Addyson what she thinks and if she would mind losing her roomate. I asked Addyson to a secret lunch to talk to her about that and some other matters. I also asked Zayn to keep Charlotte busy so she doesn't wonder what's going on. Actually, I'm headed over to their dorm right now.

*Later*

"Hey Shorty" I laugh as Addyson opened the door. It's only funny because she isn't short and I'm taller than her and ya... not really funny I guess...

"Hey Curls. You better watch it, your girlfriend is way shorter than me." she retorted.

I point at her. "Don't bring her height into this! She's just right!"

Addyson just laughed "Alrighty Curly calm down. Don't get yo panties in a wad!"

She had me laughing now. "Ok we better get going! After you my lady!" I offered her my air. She accepted it.

"OOH better not let Niall or Charles seeing us like this. They might get jealous and plan against us! And trust me! Charlotte's pranks are the worst! She turns.. like.. evil..." Addyson did a little fake shiver as she said that.

"I try to stay off her bad side. So far I'm doing good!" I somewhat chuckled to myself.

"It wasn't alwasy that way!" Addyson nudged me with her elbow. I gave her a small shove. She crippled over obviously over exaggerating the push.

"I thought we weren't bringing that up again... " I wimpered setting my head down. It's so easy to make her feel guilty so this is her punishment for bringing that up. I stick my bottom lip out a little farther.

"Haz I was just kidding please don't get upset! I'm really sorry please don't.."

I look up and smile, she sees I'm not upset and pushes me into the wall.

"Harry Edward Millard Styles! Don't be such a jerk!"

"Fine fine I surrender!" I hold up my hands  in defeat. We better get going, we have reservations...

*At Lunch*

"So I brought you here to ask you something about Charlotte.." I started. I started playing with my thumbs. I have no idea why I'm so nervouse but I am.

"You are going to propose and are asking for my permission. Well of course you two love birds can tie the not. Y'all are so cute..."

I cut her off right there. It's always bad when her country accent starts kicking in.

"Why do y'all (I put y'all in air quotes) keep nagging us to get married. We've only been dating for a month! I want to take things slow." I said starting to get annoyed. 

"Okay but thats not what Charles wants.." She dragged the word okay out way too long.

"Wait what did she say?" I asked. She now had my full attention.

"Well you know how her grandmother hasn't had the best health lately?" She asked, I simply nodded.

"The other day she was telling me about how she was really worried about her considering she raised her and everything. she said she felt guilty moving over here and she kind of added something about how she hopes her grandma is still alive to come to her wedding. So as you see, she didn't NECESSAEILY say she wanted to get married right now but she kind of did." Addyson told me speaking way too fast for my ears to understand.I just nodded and sat there.

"That's good to know..." I trail off.

"Are you alright Haz?" Addyson looked at me with concern.

"Ya. Im fine. I came here today to ask you if you would mind if Charlie moved in with me and what you thought about it."

"Ooh. Well I'm fine with it as long as I'm aloud over 24/7!" she told me jokingly.

"Ha. Deal! How do you think she is going to respond to it?" I asked looking into her eyes.

"I think she'll be fine with it but at first she is going to hesitate 'cause she is going to think she is abandoing me and blah blah blah..."I laugh, Addyson is quite funny. Her and Niall together.. o my gosh it's like a comedy club...

"Ok thank you Addy! You really are the best!" I reach across the table and gave her a hug. I knocked over her glass of water on to her shirt while doing so.

"Im so sorry Adds"

"It's fine. Its just water."

I gave her my Jack WIlls sweatshirt to wear until the water dried. I still had other things on my mind though...

Zayn's POV.

Harold had asked me to take Charlie out because he needed to talk to Addyson for something. I don't really know I wasn't paying attention. But anyways, ya I have to spend the whole afternoon with Charlie, Harry's girlfriend, who I have a crush one. I know, I know, a crush. I feel like I'm in second grade but it's true! Her long blonde hair, blue eyes that change shades, her laugh, and smile. I'm like a little schoolgirl! I get worked up everytime time she is arround! I'm going crazy! If Harry EVER found out about my feelings for her he would kill me, resuscitate me, and kill me again. So now I'm stuck with her and my feelings out shopping. What was I suppose to say? "Oh hey buddy, ya I can't hang with your girlfriend 'cause I like her," Ya I don't think that would go down very well. I picked up Charlie at Harry's house (no surprise she spent the night, again.). She looked great! She had shorts on with Harry's favorite "Ramones" thsirt, her hair flowing down her back and some pretty sweet kicks on.

"Hey!" She smiled as she answered the door.

"Hey! You ready to go?" I ask walking in.

"Ya. One sec. let me grab my purse." She grabbed her purse and we walked out to my car.

"So where are we going?" she asked eagerly.

" I figure we go to the mall than we grab some lunch on the way home. Sound good?"

"Sounds like a plan to me!" She whipped out her phone and started to text somebody. Haz most likely...

"Who you texting?" I asked curiously.

"My brother. He says my grandma is sick again and I need to come home soon." She let out a sigh.

"Why don't you go back home? Im positive everyone would understand!"

"I know it isn't that... It's just... I don't have any money. NO money at all. I get paid minimmum wage..." SHe admitted looking down at her phone again.

"Charles! You are dating Harry Styles! He owned a house at 18! He donates to charities! I'm suremoney isn't a problem."

"I know..I just don't want anybody, including him, thinking I'm just in this relationshhip for money..."

I pulled into a parking spot. I pulled my wallet out and handed her a $100 bill.

"Here take it. Now nobody can say you are ther for money. By the way, I doubt Harry thinks you are in it for fame."

"Oh Zayn! Thank you!!" She leaned across the seat hugged me. I took in the smell of her hair. It smelled so good, I wanted to run my fingers through it but I held the urge back. We got out of the car and headed into the mall. I reached my arm around here to pull her into a side hug. As soon as we entered the mall we hear screaming. Girls everywhere start chasing us and taking pictures. I quickly pull my arm away for Charlie's shoulders.

Great... I though to myself. I love my fans and everything but think about it. Me, Zayn Malik, the "Bad Boy" of One Direction, here, at the mall, hugging Charlie, Harry's girlfriend... This isn't going to end well. It's probably already on Twitter...
