One Day (One Direction)

Chapter Ten

CHAPTER TEN

The food was delicious. I couldn’t complain about anything even if I was forced to. I guess this place really was high class for a reason. When it came time to pay, Alex was starting to ask for the separate checks when Liam insisted that he would take care of everything. He really was so sweet, I knew we would be good friends in the future. I could say the same thing for Niall; his laugh is contagious so whenever he laughed, I found myself laughing as well.

Harry managed to embarrass me a couple of times by trying to flirt with me in front of everybody but I could tell that his mind was elsewhere throughout the dinner. I never got to ask him why, though.

Zayn, on the other hand, only spoke to Jessica the whole night. I guess she really didn’t need my help gaining his affection. I was kind of glad that he seemed so intrigued by her so that his attention was off me. I can’t handle so much guy attention on me at once with Louis, Harry, Niall, Liam, Alex, and Nate. Well Zayn looked at Jessica, especially at her thighs, as if she was the sexiest and more special person in his world. It was rather quite adorable.

A few minutes later, Jessica and Zayn excused themselves and said they were going to meet up with us later.

“Remember to use protection Zayn!” Harry shouted as they started walking away. Zayn gave him the finger and we all started cracking up.

“So what now guys?” I asked all of them.

“Want to go out for ice cream?” Louis asked me.

“That would be awesome! I love ice cream!” I giggled.

“I already love you then Rose!” Niall said and gave me a high five across the table.

“Let’s get going then. Can we go to the Coldstone by the park? I want to meet someone there,” Harry said as we all started getting up.

“Oh! Is she what was on your mind throughout dinner?” I asked him, automatically assuming the “someone” was a she.

“Yeah, you could tell I was distracted?”

“Yes, I can read people really well,” I say.

“Really? What do you think about me?” Niall asked me.

“Well what do you want to know? What I thought you were thinking during the dinner or what I thought when I first met you?” I asked him.

“Both,” he replied.

“Before the food came I could tell you were anxious to try whatever it was you ordered. You also were texting a lot during the dinner so I think you are missing somebody. When I first met you yesterday, I could tell you seemed like the kind of guy that did whatever he could to be happy. You hugged me which told me you would be glad to be my friend. Every time you laugh, it sounds as if you are truly happy which is the reason I laugh with you most of the time. But I think you worry that something unfortunate is going to happen to your new life so you are trying to be skeptical about some issues,” I told him.

I looked around and Louis, Niall, Harry, Liam and Danielle were looking at me with their jaws dropped. Second time that night, I couldn’t help but start cracking up. I looked over to Alex and Nate, who knew about my observant trait, and they were laughing as well. I freaked Nate out the first time I told him what I noticed about him.

“Oh, I hope I didn’t scare you all,” I said to Niall and everyone who was still looking at me.

“That was amazing Rose! How did you know all of that?” Niall exclaimed as he came up and gave me a nice tight hug.
