HARRY'S P.O.V.

Today is the day where Niall, Liam, and Louis come over with their girlfriends for dinner. I woke up early to look for Gemma, but per usual I found nothing. I've been cooking all day while Arabella has been cleaning the house. 

I was supposed to clean, while Arabella cooks but after tasting those homemade burgers that she made I'd rather not. The burgers were purely disgusting, but of course I never told her that. She thinks I liked them and she still offers to cook sometimes but I don't let her. 

For the dinner I'm making steak with veggies, and for desert we have cheesecake that I bought from the store.  

They're supposed to be here any minute now. I notice Arabella is setting the table, while wearing black jeans and a nice blouse. 

I was about to compliment her but the doorbell ringing cut me off. 

I walk to the door to open in. Right when I open the door I notice the smiling faces of my friends, and the grins on their girlfriends faces.  

"Hey Harry," they all say at the same time. I say my hellos while they take off their coats and have a seat on the couch. Arabella walks in introducing herself to the girls, and saying her welcomes to the boys. 

"So you're Arabella?" Eleanor asks. Arabella nods a yes. 

I notice the room slowly shifting to awkwardness, but thankfully the food is done so I can feed everyone. 

Everyone takes their seat and begins to dig in. 

"This tastes great Harry," Cheryl complements while I give her a thank you right after. 

Everything is dead silent right after. Nobody is saying a word, and that makes me very nervous. 

"So Arabella, how's everything?" Liam asks, while taking a sip out of his glass. 

"It's good," Arabella says dryly. 

Niall eyes the whole table awkwardly, while I do the same thing. 

What the fuck is going on?

None of the girls are talking. 

I don't know what's going on, but all I know is this is going to be a long night.
