*Harry's POV*

I click a button on my laptop to turn it on. I had brought it with me to Cody's. It slowly turns on and I click the Skype icon. It has been about ten minutes since the kiss and Dacota just got in the shower. I decided to Skype the boys. I wait awhile for them to pick up; they were all in the same country and I was here in America. They had all met up for this Skype meeting.

"HEY!" they all say when their faces pop up.

"Hello, lads!" I say. I've missed them.

"How's it going in the old U.S.?" Liam asks.

"Good, great, actually."

"That's awesome; now, who's that girl again?" Louis asks, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Her name is Dacota, and she's a..." I stop. Are we dating? I don't know, "Well, let's just say the relationship status is in the midst of things right now." I smile.

"Okay... anyways..." Niall says.

"How's school been for you all?" I ask.

"Good, boring, but good." Zayn shrugs. I nod.

"True that."

"Anything new on the next tour yet?" I missed the time when we were all together on a tiny tour bus.

"Uncle Simon says that we'll leave after this school year," Liam says. I nod. Still have a while left of this school year. I hear the shower upstairs turn off and the door open and shut. I guess Dacota's going to her room to change. We continue to talk for a few more minutes until Cody interrupted.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRY!" she yells. I laugh at her loudness.

"Who was that!?" They all say.

"Dacota," I say simply. "IN HERE, CODY!" Her footsteps draw closer to the door frame and her face pokes around the corner.

"Hey, who ya talkin' to?" She asks. She sits on the couch next to me and sees the boys.

"Boys, this is Dacota, Dacota, this is Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn, my band mates." I point to them in turn. They all wave and she waves back.

"Hello, nice to meet you all, sorta, anyway." The guys chuckle at her.

"Hello, Dacota. Nice to meet you too," Niall says and his Irish accent rings through the computer.

"Well, I don't want to interrupt this, whatever this is, so..." she says awkwardly.

"No, no, no, stay, please," I say, grabbing her hand.

She rolls her eyes and says, "Fine, I'll go get soda." She kisses me on the cheek, then leaves the room. I look back at the boys to see their reactions. They're all sitting there quietly, then they all give thumbs up.

"Good catch, mate," Louis says.

"Great, you mean," Zayn counters.

"She seems nice," replies Liam.

"She's preeeeeeetty..." Niall croons dreamily.

"Hands off." I smirk and point at him. He holds his hands up in mock defense. Dacota comes back a minute later with two cans of Coke. I grab one and thank her as she sits next to me. I quickly grab my phone and text Dacota.

To Cody

Are we dating?

Dacota's phone goes off a moment later and she giggles. My phone goes off.

From Cody

Are we? ;)

To Cody

I think so...

From Cody

Okay then :)

To Cody

Okay :)

"What are you all smiling at?" Zayn asks. I had almost forgotten that they were there.

"Are you texting each other?" Louis teases.

"Maybe..." Dacota says quietly and turns red.

"That's adorable!" Liam claps and we laugh at him. I slip my hand over to Dacota's and entwine our fingers. She tenses up for a second then relaxes and squeeze my hand lightly. I get a little tingly feeling in my stomach. We Skype for about an hour, the boys asking Dacota questions and Dacota asking the boys questions. I basically just laughed, but I'm fine with it. We say goodbye to the boys and end the call.

"So," she says after a while. We are standing in the kitchen. I stand across from her and grab her hands. "We are dating, right?" she asks nervously. I lean forward and kiss her lightly on the lips.

"Does that answer your question?" I put my head to hers. She nods just so I can tell and she smiles.

That chapter was fantastic to me, a bit short, but fantastic!
