Chapter 53: Falling

A half hour later, Liam and I sat on the couch talking, waiting for the lads to come and pick me up. I was dressed and ready to go. Since I had no idea what I was doing I decided to dress nicely, but comfortably. You never know what to expect with the boys, especially Louis and Liam. As I heard the lift buzz, I grabbed my small bag and slung it over the shoulder. The doors opened and Louis stepped out. He walked over to me and hooked his elbow in mine.

“Ready, babe?” He winked, “Don’t worry Liam, we won’t be taking her clubbing or anything, just sight-seeing.” He leaned over me to speak to Liam. Liam nodded acknowledgment as we got on the elevator. Once we arrived at Harry and Louis’ flat, I tried to step off, but Louis grabbed my arm.

“Wait here, babe. Harry should be waiting for us.” I nodded. Louis stepped out of the elevator as Harry stepped on.

“Have fun you two!” Louis called as the doors closed. I turned to Harry.

“What’s going on?” I asked tentatively. He slung his arm over my shoulder.

“Hello to you, too.” He joked, kissing my cheek.

“I thought you and Lou were taking me sight-seeing.” I continued.

“Nope. Louis told Liam he was coming with us, to avoid suspicion, but we are on an official date.” He smirked and winked down at me. I nodded, understanding. A small part of me was nervous that Louis wasn’t there. I hadn’t really been on an actual date with Harry before, unless you count the beach. Still, this was our first date as a couple. The lift stopped at the garage level and Harry intertwined his hand with mine. Silently, he tugged me out of the elevator and over to a fancy, silver audi.

“This is yours?” I choked out in surprise. He looked down at me with pride.

“Yeah, she’s amazing, right?” He smiled. I nodded.

“How do you- I don’t mean to be rude- but how do you afford this?” I asked shyly.

“I am Harry Styles, how do you think?” He smirked, cockily. I knitted my eyebrows.

“Yeah, I mean, Liam has a nice car, but it isn’t like this…” I mumbled. It was true, I thought Liam spent too much on his car, but it was modest compared to Harry’s.

“Zayn, Lou and I all like to indulge when it comes to cars. Niall and Liam choose to spend their money elsewhere. It isn’t like I can’t afford it, Suze.” He laughed and opened the passenger door for me. He patted my ass as I climbed in.

I smiled at him as he climbed into the driver’s seat. As the engine roared to life, I saw a smile creep across his lips. Harry loved this car, I could tell. Driving it made him happy. He raced out of the garage at a breathtaking speed. I gripped onto the seat. Harry looked over at my position and laughed.

“I’m not that bad of a driver, Susie Q.” He patted my knee.

“Are you kidding? I’m scared for my life!” He just rolled his eyes. He jerked the car to a nauseating stop and climbed out. I took a moment to collect myself and breathe. My door opened and Harry outstretched his hand. I took it and he helped me climb out. I looked around; I had no idea where we were.

“Welcome to London!” Harry spread out his arms and gestured around us. I glanced around again. We were by some water. He sighed and grabbed my arm.

“Come on! I have to get you back by four, we have no time to lose!” I laughed at his eagerness. He pulled me quickly for two blocks and then let go of my arm. We stood in front of the London Eye. My heart started pounding. I thought I was having a heart attack.
