-George-
That night I fell asleep feeling worried about Katie. I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard a scream. I ran through to the spare room where Katie was tossing and turning in her sleep. She must have been having a nightmare. I sat down on the edge of her bed and shook her gently in an attempt to wake her up. She sat up quickly and just wiped her face with her hands. She was all hot and sweaty and her hair was no longer falling perfectly past her shoulders. And yet she still looked beautiful.
"Are you okay Katie?"
"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare, that's all"
"Are you going to be okay, or do you want me to stay in here with you?"
"You don't have to do that George"
I wasn't going to lie, I wanted to stay with her. I leaned in and kissed her, hoping that was all the persuasion she would need. She let out a tiny moan and pulled away,
"Okay" She said
"Good"
I snuck under the bed covers but kept to the opposite side of Katie, I wasn't going to make her feel awkward. But she obviously had a different idea. She pulled herself towards me and rested her head on my chest.
-Katie-
What the hell was I doing. Why was I cuddling George, I only met the guy last night and it probably wouldn't end well. But I suppose I did feel safe, safer than I ever did at home. George put his arm around my shoulders and kissed my forehead. In about five minutes I had fallen asleep. I really did wish George felt the same way about me.
The next morning I woke up and George was in his bedroom shouting down the phone at someone. I got up and pulled a baggy jumper over my head. As I walked into his room he was pacing around angrily,
"George what's wrong?"
"Nothing"
"Then what was all the shouting about?"
"Oh that, it was my manager"
"Your manager?"
"Yeah I am in a band"
"Well you could have told me that"
"Sorry, let me take you out tonight to make up for it"
What was he doing, he was probably just messing with my head, but I think I was falling for him. And fast. I nodded my head in agreement.
"So what kind of food do you like?" George asked me
"Um I like Italian, especially pizza"
"That's sorted then, we will go to that pizza place down the road"
"You mean Bellini's?"
"Yeah"
"George you cant take me there its really expensive!"
"You deserve a treat though"
"No I really don't, I have pretty much barged into your house without a good reason to do so. I shouldn't be here, I am just in the way"
"Babe, listen to me"
Did George just call me babe
"I want to take you out tonight to say thankyou"
"Thankyou for what? I haven't done anything"
"You may not know it but since I met you I knew there was something special about you. I knew I had to do something about it, and I am so glad I did because even though it has only been a day I am pretty sure that it has been the best time of my life, please don't leave because-"
"Because what George?"
"Well...I think I am falling for you"
-George-
What the hell did I just do, why did I say that. She would probably leave now anyway. I thought that she would just get up and go. That was until she placed her lips on mine.
"I think I am falling for you too" She said back to me, I was utterly relieved, that was not the reaction I expected. Anxiously I asked her,
"So does this mean we are um, to-together now?"
"I don't know, do you want to be?"
"I would love to"
"Then I guess we are" As the words fell from her lips I couldn't help but smile,
"Do you want some breakfast?" I asked
"That would be amazing, let me come and help you"
As I walked off into the kitchen Katie followed behind me, she pulled her hair up into a messy bun.
"Do you want to meet my band? They are my best friends after all"
"Yeah of course! It would be nice to have some actual friends"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter, its nothing to worry about"
All that did was make me worry about it. I am sure she would trust me with whatever it was eventually. Avoiding the subject we turned our attention back to breakfast.
"Well I only have bread, sooo toast?"
"Toast is perfect" She started to giggle which made me melt, I hadn't heard her giggle or laugh yet. Hopefully that means she is feeling safe again now. I text the boys to ask if they wanted to come over for a bit to watch a film or something.
'Hi boys, do you want to come over for a bit? I have popcorn and there is someone I want you to meet'
They all replied soon so I passed Katie her toast and sat down on the sofa beside her.
"The boys are coming over soon"
"Oh okay"
I could tell she was nervous because she couldn't stop fidgeting.
"Hey they will love you don't worry about it" She managed to plaster a smile on her face but I knew it was fake so I pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head.
"What is there not to like?" I smiled down at her but she just looked away, and started playing with her thumbs.
"A lot" Was all she said, She wouldn't look at me so I knelt on the floor in front of her. Her eyes had started to go swollen and red, like she was about to cry. I brushed the hair out of her face and cupped her cheek with my hand.
"Hey, you are perfect to me and that's all you need to know. You are beautiful, smart, funny, everything someone could ever wish for. The boys will love you I promise, if they don't they will have some serious questions to answer. Okay?"
"Okay" She pulled me into a tight hug as the doorbell rang.
"Stay here okay, its probably the boys"
"Okay"
I went to go and answer the door.
-Katie-
I was so nervous, I didn't want to let George down. But I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't like me. I have never had that many friends, I have had more enemies.
