                                                                            Jesy was still driving everywhere and anywhere. We had no idea where we were. We were so lost and all we had was the one car charger and all of our bags from the mall. "We're lost," I said for the millionth time, earning a huff from Jesy. "I know that, Jade," she answered, making me roll my eyes. "Just turn around!" "No!" "Look!" I squealed, practically leaping out of my seat. There was Starbucks! I unbuckled and jumped into the backseat. I had to check my makeup, my hair, anything. What if I looked bad? We finally parked in the driveway, Jesy checking her makeup as well. "We look great," I told her nervously, fluffing up my hair. I then gulped, pushing open the back door. Here goes nothing... Jesy joined me seconds after, her face turning a pinkish color. I could tell that she was nervous, who wouldn't be? We're meeting One Direction for Christ's sake. We started walking towards the door. I was looking at my phone, reading some tweets from my fans. But when Jes hit me in the chest, which really hurt, my head snapped up. The guys were walking towards us! Omg! It's all real! I swear I could have fainted when I saw the smirk on Harry's lips. "Ladies," Niall said, winking at us both. Oh my God. Niall Horan just freaking winked at us... It took everything I had to not fangirl in front of them. And I could tell that it was hard for Jes as well. 

"Hello, Jade," Harry said, moving over to me. I could have screamed and it took a huge effort not to. He took my hand in his and kissed it, his green eyes staring up at me. Louis gagged, wrapping his arm around my waist. "Let's go inside. These two look thirsty," he said and I could even smell his cologne! He smelt so nice! I squeaked internally as Louis pulled me inside with the others trailing behind. I have to admit, Louis was really funny. He told the funniest jokes and loved to poke at my sides. And I'm REALLY ticklish. Jesy and Liam were talking about books or whatever while Louis and Harry argued over the stupidist thing: who was paying. Niall was whining to Zayn about not knowing what to get, which made me smile ever so widely. "I get to pay!" Harry finally shouted, making a giggle escape past my lips. "Fine, damn, Haz..." I laughed even harder, biting down on my lip. "What's so funny?" Harry asked me, grabbing my waist. "Huh?" I just shook my head, unable to speak. Just being this close to the boys made me happy. "Nothing," I mumbled, resting my head against his shoulder. This reminded me of our first conversation. Louis and Harry arguing... Aw. 

He kept a grip on me, eventually kissing the top of my head. And that just made my heart flutter with joy. It's so hard not telling him that I loved him, especially now that he's actually acknowledged me. But, I'm just one of the fans. One of those crazy fangirls that fell in love with a celebrity. What an idiot. Harry ordered my drink, thank goodness. I've only been to Starbucks three or four times before and had no idea what to get. "So, where's your other friends?" Harry asked me, guiding me to the outside parlor. "They weren't really in the mood to go out," I said softly, taking long strides to match him. He walked so fast! Hm, I wouldn't know about the perks for having long legs. I have such short legs, it's not even funny. He held the door open for Jesy and I, winking at me and making me blush. And don't forget, Jesy and Louis caught it, as well. "Aw! Flirting!" Louis cooed, pinching Harry's cheek as he stepped outside to join Jesy at her table. "Not very subtle..." He rolled his eyes and walked to a different table, me following slowly. I wanted to sit with the rest of them, but I guess just Harry and I could work. 

"How are you?" was the first question he asked once I sat down. I shifted uncomfortably, biting my lip. "Okay, I guess," I mumbled quietly, clearing my throat. "Shouldn't I be asking y--" "Jade, I'm being serious." My eyes went wide for a second, but I told him the truth. I was horrible, but also nervous about talking to them, especially since I'm horrible at keeping a conversation going. He listened really well and I couldn't help but smile at the way he would nod his head when I paused. "I think you're amazing," he said, interrupting my last sentence. "That was a bit random," I included with a soft laugh. He smiled, his dimples showing perfectly. His dimples took my breath away. I know that that sounds cheesy, but it's true. I drew in a breath and delivered a smile back. I could tell that he noticed my action and I'm pretty sure he smirked at the idea of making me seem so dreamy. Ha, dreamy. But, he was so sweet and continued to ask how things were going. "Yeah, she trusts you," I assured him with a laugh. 

He gave me an uncertain look, but only nodded. He kept the conversation up and I can't explain how happy I was. Especially when we got our drinks. He waited for me to try it with this childish look on his face. It was actually pretty good, but I couldn't drink it. Jesy was a bit worried when my face went green, but the color left and I felt normal again. There was just something in it that made me feel sick to my stomach. Harry was by my side the whole time and we held hands for a little bit until Niall dragged me away. Oh, gosh... He's so cute...
