The Best Days (ON HOLD)

CH 12: Adorable and Jealous

NOV-23-13          HOPE'S POV

Harry brought me home at 1:30 and my parents were sitting at the table. Of course they were mad and I told them I went to see a movie which I did. What they wanted to hear was why I was dressed up like a maniac and why I was home late. So I told them we lied and watched the stars. Of course I said we were in public, or it would be if it weren't midnight.

I apologized for being home late and went up to bed. Not bothering to take off my converse or cape. Of course I nearly choked myself to death but I was too exhausted to do anything about it.

He made my heart melt. I didn't feel strongly about him. Then again I acted like PJ was still alive and reserved my heart for a corpse. I'm just stupid. I don't know how to feel about Harry. I'll just take it as it comes and look back on the memories with a smile.

---HARRY'S POV---

Last night was a dream come true. I slept peacefully and woke up as jumpy as a jack rabbit. I couldn't stop smiling. I wouldn't have cared if a fan broke in and took all my money! I had her and it made me shake when I thought of the way she hugged me first. She thinks about me. She even wore a cape and mask for me! I can't believe it. She's so perfect.

I combed my hair back, leaving curls apparent and making sure it wasn't over-brushed. I decided on telling Zayn about it. He was a great listener. I grabbed my keys and didn't bother for a coat even though it was snowing out. I skipped to my car and started. The album mix I put together was still in and Ed Sheeran was still playing from where I left it.

"Come in Harry. Why so pumped?" Zayn asked as I came walking in and set my keys on his counter.

"Her." I bent over and whispered to him. The I skipped into his living room with walls stained with graffiti.

"Hope? You took her out last night right? For something great?" He joked and adjusted his beanie.

"Ew no. I took her for a movie and when it finished we lied on top of my car and watched the stars. She hugged me and told me she loved me and Zayn I'm in love." I lied down and smiled at the ceiling. "It was perfect."

"Yay! Harry made it out of the 'bro zone'." he lifted my legs up and sat down and set them on his lap. Snow was melting on his sweatpants but I saw he didn't care.

"It's friend zone and yes. Leon got fired, I have nothing to worry about." Zayn cocked his head and made an unsure smile. "What obstacles do I have now?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"Would it kill you if I said Louis is after the same thing?" I looked up at the ceiling and let out a puff.

"I just might." Zayn took out his phone and sent a message out. "

---LOUIS'S POV---

Zayn: Harrys over here. he told me he took Hope out last night for a movie and they lied on his car watching the stars

I read the message over and over until I tossed my phone onto my bed. This isn't me. I can't just get over El and go onto the next best thing, especially since my friend has it. It was wrong but I couldn't contain it. I finally picked my severely cracked phone up and replied.

Me: I dont know how to feel about this.  Did they kiss??

I got an answer shortly.

Zayn: Nah they just hugged each other while lying down. it wasnt spooning but it was a cuddle. Pissed of yet?

Me: yes but not at anyone. I couldn't be mad at either of them.

Zayn: I told Harry that you liked herrrr

Me: Damn you

I went to my homescreen and tweeted out: 'Sick of love'. Honestly I felt almost sinful for this. I should be proud of Harry and not jealous. I decided to call him.

1...2...3 rings went by and he picked up.

"You won't believe last night Lou." He said almost as if he forgot I called him.

"I already know. Not the details but I know."

"And I know you're jealous..."

"Shutup Harold. I just wanted to ask what you two talked about.

"Sorry for living! We talked of PJ, popcorn, Mardigra and other simple things. I plan on taking her out for dinner with one of her friends on a double date. Would you come?"

"Sure. I would go. I have to go to the supermarket now ok? Text me the details." I hung up, slid my phone in my pajama pants pocket and went down to my kitchen to get my keys and wallet. I slid on a coat, and looked in the mirror. I had my hair swooped back a bit like Harry's but not really. I haven't cleanly shaved for a bit yet. Coke-a-Cola pants still on (and I didn't care) and ironically a pepsi tee. I was going shopping but stopping by Hope to see if she could help me pick out Christmas gifts for the boys and sneak in a thing or two she might like.

I raised my eyebrows examining myself, grinned and jogged out to my car.

---HOPE'S POV---

"I'll get it! Nobody move!" Mum called to us as she left the living room top answer the door after the doorbell rang. Me, her and my step dad were in the living room discussing my income and apartment while eating cookies and sipping tea. I heard a familiar voice say: "I'm here to see Hope. I was driving by and thought I might say hello." I leaped up and ran to the door. Louis was here.

He wrapped me up in a tight hug.

"Hello Boo!" I laughed with my arms refusing to leave his torso. I called him that since him mum called him Boobear. I'm sure he didn't mind though.

"You know me right?" Louis asked mum pulling me off him after exchanging my embrace.

"Yes. Louis. Would you like to stay for tea and cookies? We have quite a few we're trying to get rid of." Mum explained and lead us to the living room where my step dad, Chris was waiting.

"I can stay for a few but not long." Louis replied as I took his arm and had him sit next to me on the sofa. "How did you like last night?" He rubbed his thumb over my cheek, wiping away a few crumbs. Mum poured him a mug and he took it with a friendly smile.

"I had loads of fun. Why do you ask?" I took my mug off the table and took a sip.

"Well Haz seemed excited about it. Have you seen the game yesterday Mr. Ralston, Italy versus Spain?" He inquired to  my step dad.

"I'm actually Mr. Spencer. Mr.Ralston is out somewhere in Scotland. But you can call me Chris. And yes I did see the game. Fabulous plays weren't there?"

"Quite." He responded. We talked about my and Harry's hangout last night and my tattoo. Mum wasn't thrilled about Louis but my step dad thought he was a good guy and sure to bring some adventures along. After maybe 10 minutes Louis had to sadly leave. Then he asked if I could help him pick out gifts for the boys and his siblings. Mum was irritated because I was already spending every spare minute with these boys and she hardly knows them. I told her I would be fine and I'm an adult and went along. Louis wasn't dressed and we were going to ADCA but neither of us cared.

Of course my parents thought he was sloppy for not being dressed but I thought it was adorable. So he wrapped his arm around my shoulders as we walked to his car.
