The Love Bet || Harry Styles

6

"So, you seem pretty interested in that Harry guy..." Brad trails.

"Are you kidding me?" I laugh. "No way."

"It seems like it. Don't you think it's kind of weird how he suddenly begins talking to you?" He asks, swinging on the swing next to me.

I nod. I remember the other when I asked Harry about that, he was lost without words.

Suddenly, my ringtone fills my ears. I look at the caller ID. It was Harry.

"Hello?" I say.

"Hey there's a party tonight. You down?" He asks through the phone.

"Sure."

"Okay, I'll be at your house at 7." He tells me.

"Okay. Bye." I say before hanging up.

Brad gives me a confused look.

"There's a party tonight. You and Whitney should go." I tell him.

"I'll think about it." He answers, looking up at the sky.

I stumbled into my room and I rushed to get ready. Brad and I didn't notice but we kept talking for hours and hours. Until finally, I checked my phone and read the time.

I got into the shower then got dressed in black skinny jeans, a flowy white shirt and a black leather jacket. I quickly applied some makeup and curled my hair.

By the time I slipped on my wedges, Harry rang the door bell.

I opened the door to see him standing there in his signature black skinny jeans and a t-shirt. He didn't looked so dressed up. Well, I guess that's boys.

"Like what you see?" He smirks.

"No." I laugh, shaking my head.

He gives me a playful glare. "Well, I like what I see."

"Okay." I laugh. "Should we get going now?"

"Yeah." He nods, walking closer to me.

He grabs my arm and links it around his. I send him a confused look but he gave me a smirk so I just went along with it.

We got settled into his car and he started driving to the party. Thank god it's just me and him this time. I mean, I like everyone else but it was just too crowded and loud.

"So, who's going to be there?" I ask, trying to start a conversation.

"Remember Luke, Calum, Michael, and Ashton?"

"Yeah," I answer. "They were cute."

He rolls his eyes.

"Well, they're going to be there." He tells me.

"Yay." I say, trying to irritate him.

"I'll just tell them it's canceled then." He says sternly.

"What?" Why?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"Because, you're all like 'Yay'."

"So?"

He looks me in the eyes for a second but then turns away.

"What? I can't say they're cute?" I ask.

"Not around me."

We stopped talking until we got there. What was his problem?

We walked in and he left me with Calum, Luke, Ashton and Michael.

Isn't he supposed to be my date for the party?

"So uh hi." Luke says with a smile.

"Hi." I smile back.

"Why did Harry bail on you and leave you with us?" Ashton asks me.

I shrug. "I have no idea."

He was just complaining a second ago about me calling them cute.

I turn around to see Harry kissing another girl messily. It was a full on make out session they were having and they didn't stop until minutes after when I first looked.

I roll my eyes at his stupidity. I was his date to the party then he goes and bails on me and makes out with another girl.

"Are you okay?" Luke asks.

"Yeah. I'm fine." I lie with a fake smile.

He looks from behind me and saw what I saw.

"That asshole." Luke says through his gritted teeth.

"Luke," I start. "I'm fine, I don't even like Harry. He's just a friend so he can do whatever he wants."

He nods and licks his lips.

"Can I kiss you?" He asks randomly.

"What?" I laugh.

He leans in and places his lips onto mine. Our lips move in a sync until he pulls back.

"I'm sorry, I-" He starts.

"It's fine." I laugh, cutting him off.

Harry's POV

"Dude!" Niall nudges me.

"What?" I ask, panting from the makeout session I just had.

"The bet! She's never going to fall in love with you now!" He says.

"Niall, I don't care about the stupid bet." I retort.

"You have three chances. Well, now two because what you just did." Niall says sternly.

"She saw though." He says, looking behind me. "And it looks like the game is on."

I turn around to see what he meant and I saw Blaze and Luke kissing.

I felt something drop out of my hands but I didn't care. Luke and Blaze. Gross. The thought of them together is disgusting.

"Harry, you dropped your cup." Niall tells me.

I nod and walk away, not bothering to pick it up. That's why there are party hosts, to clean up after the guests.

"Harry! Wait!" Niall shouts after me.

I continue walking until I got to the side walk and sat down.

"You like her don't you?" I hear someone ask from behind me.

I didn't reply or turn around until they spoke again.

"Don't lie."

I look beside me as the person sits down and it's Luke.

"No." I say to him.

"I said don't lie."

"I don't like anyone." I say sternly.

"Harry, to like someone, you don't have to love them." He tells me.

Maybe I do like her. But I certainly do not love her.
