Love?

Chapter 3

Emerson's point of view*

I woke up really early Tuesday morning for school. I was ready to start my day. That's a first. When I got up I realized I had twenty missed calls from Katrina. She probably wanted to know why that guy from the party and at the restaurant why he said "you knew me at the party..." . I was so done with last night!

I head toward the parking lot. When I find my car someone is leaning against it, Niall Horan! I haven't seen in like a year. My heart skips a beat, he must have come all the way here from Ireland.

My mother was born and raised in Ireland so every summer we would go and visit. I met Niall when I was about six. He helped me get through my fathers death. We have been best friends since then. I still visit without my mother every summer.

I run up to him and give him a big hug leaning into his chest.

"What are you doing here?" I practically shout .

"I missed you! And also I'm going to the same college as you." He says and I squeal. He is so sweet!

"So what are you doing today?" He asks nonchalant.

" I have college." I sigh. "But I'm skipping today and you and I are going to go to have fun today. We can go have breakfast, go to Hollywood, and the. Go to the fair tonight! " my words jumble in mouth.

"Sounds like fun, but I can't ask you to skip classes." He says.

"You aren't asking, we are going out tody!" I say laughing. " so, where are you staying?" I ask curiously.

He sighs " that's the thing... I kinda don't have a place to stay."

I laugh "that's just fine, you'll just have to stay with me!" I smile.

We ended up going to Waffle House for breakfast. I had four waffles and Niall had two.

"How do you eat so much , and you only weigh like five pounds?" He teases . And I shrug.

"So, any boys have the heart of Emerson Wild?" He asks curiously.

" nope, I'm single and ready to mingle." I giggle and so does Niall .

"I'm surprised I thought after living for almost a year in LA that their was some lucky guy." He says almost annoyed.

After breakfast, Niall and I ended up going to walk around The beach splashing each other with water until about six pm. After that we decided to go to the fair.

We pulled up at the fair in my car, Niall driving. We pay for our tickets and walk in.

"OMG I'm so excited!" I said .

Beep beep! My phone goes off.

"Hello?" I answer

"Hey! It's josh."

"Oh, what's up?" I ask

"Katrina and I are at the fair and were wondering if you were up for hanging out with us after last night.... " he says.

I laugh "wow! What a coincidence I'm here too, with my friend Niall." I tell him "where are you?"

"By the Ferris wheel meet us there." He says and hangs up.

"Who was that?" Niall asks.

"Josh, Katrina's boyfriend. He's here and wants up to meet him by the ferris week is that okay?" I ask.

"Sounds splendid!" He says overjoyed.

We walk over to the Ferris wheel and wait for them. When they finally get here I notice that Harry is with him... Oh no! He just gets on my nerves, the way he carries around that whore. Ugh!

"Hey Emmy!" Kat says giving me a hug. "Who's this?"

I gesture toward Niall. "This is Niall Horan. I have known him since I was like six."

"Hey!" He sort of waves to everyone.

"Well let's get to it! I want to get on the damn Ferris wheel before I die!" Harry groans. And I notice that Lauren isn't with I'm. Weird.

When we are in line waiting for the Ferris wheel some bleach blond came and asked Niall if he wanted to ride with her. Of course sweet Niall said yes. Which means since the ride is two people per ride that I was stuck with Harry!

"Go!" The man said loading us into carts.

" I don't bite, Emerson." Harry said when we a quarter way through the ride.

"Yeah but you sure do growl!" I spit.

He laughs a really laugh that made the cart shake. I held on for dear life. He must have noticed because he started to shake it in purpose.

"Stop Harry! " I yell. "Please!"

He just shakes if harder.

"What you don't like that? I thought you did!" He says and I laugh.

We both start to laugh then. I have never seen him like this he almost seems.... Nice. No way is Harry being nice. It's actually really attractive.

"You are such a ass hole!" I giggle.

" at least I'm not slut." He snaps.

I stop laughing. What just happened we were having fun and he ruined it by being a dick. He notices apparently because he said

"I'm sorry that was uncalled for." He said.

Did he just say sorry? He is giving me a head ache.

When we get of the Ferris wheel all the others want to go again but Harry and I. So just us two go to the hall of mirrors. This is a weird night, he's being so freaking friendly.

I walked in front of the mirror that made me skinny and tall.

"You look hot. " Harry says.

Holy crap! Is he hitting on me.

"Harry don't say that you have a girlfriend!" I gasp

"Who?" He asks.

" Lauren.." I say like it's obvious.

He laughs "she isn't my girlfriend we are just... Friends it think"

"Oh.." I say akwardly.

I turn back to the mirror. Then Harry grabs my waist and then his other hand goes to my breast. Oh no what is he doing! He starts kissing my neck inhaling my scent. I turn towards him and we start kissing his tongue slips into my mouth. And then I break the kiss. I mean how far could it have gone? We can't just have sex in a hall of mirrors!

"I'm sorry" I say looking down.

"It's fine. You will just have to come over this Friday for the party." He says grinning .

He starts to walk away but before he leaves he turns toward me and winks. And weird enough my stomach twists into knots.
