I hate/love Harry Styles

6. Date or not date?

Nicole's POV

I was watching them. After a few minutes hiding, I'd decided to come out to see if Harry was still there. For my surprise he was talking to Kevin. They were so cute. I couldn't help but stare. After a few seconds, Harry noticed me. Shit! Now he knows where I am and that I was watching them. Damn, damn, damn.  I have to go there. I have no other choice. I can't dissapear again. 

"What are you doing here, Harry?" I asked confused.

"Just talking with my new friend." He said, winking at Kevin. Weird...

"Oh, I see...Then if you two are going on so well, I can leave..." I said smiling, starting to walk away.

"No, stay" I voice stopped me. It wasn't Kevin's, it was Harry's. I turned back to face him. He showed me an innocent face. Too innocent face...

"Harry, come here. We have a sound check" I heard Liam's voice. I turned back, then I see him on the stage. He noticed me, so he bgan to come closer to us.

"Nicole! What are you doing here?" HE asked happily. I smiled at him, before he came and hugged me tight.

"Hello Liam. Well, actually I work here" I informed him. He looked happy.

"That's great. But how ?" He seemed confused. I chuckled.

"Well long story...But my father, David, gave me a job during the summer. I'm gonna be the make up artist." I explained. He understands everything now.

"Well, then I think we will meet here evry day till the concert. That's cool" He said smiling.

"Yeah..." I said, smiling too.

"Nicoooole!" I heard Louis voice. Then suddenly the ground dissapeared. I was in the air, in Louis arms. He's such a kid. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay Louis. It's just me" I said, still laughing.

"I'm happy to see you again. Kevin, buddy!" He high fived with Kevin. Kevin's face quickly lit up.

"Boys, come back! Let's start" I heard my dad's voice. Oh..he's like a boss..

"Talk you later.." the boys grined as they went to the stage. I stepped closer to hear them singing.

They started with One thing. However, I'm not a fan, Liz forced me to listen to their music so I recognise their songs. Liam started it. He has such a beautifull voice. Then it was Harry's part.

"Shot me out of the sky, You're my kryptonite, You keep making me weak, Yeah, frozen and can't breath." I swear I could hear my own jaw dropping. He has and amazing, clear voice. I can understand now why are all those girls into them. They are really talented. While Harry was singing, he was looking in my eyes. I tried to hide my emotions, but that wasn't too easy. I was speechless. I quickly shook my head to wake up. They were at the end of the song. I couldn't help but smile wildely each of them. When they finished, all of them looked at me. Like I was the judge. I show them a thumbs up with my fingers. They were grinning wildely. Especially Harry. Oh boy..he doesn't want to give up, does he?

They'd sung some more songs before they decided to call it a day. They walked to my direction.

"Boys, I hate to say this, but you were amazing, really" I said smiling. They started to laugh.

"Oh, love. I knew that you are a directioner inside" Louis yelled as he hugged me again.

"I didn't say that" I protested laughing.

"You don't have to say it. We know the truth" Zayn said, winking at me.

"Oh, right. You caught me" I said sarcastically. 

"Nicole!" I heard my dad's voice.

"Yeah?"

"Well, your brother and I decided to go shopping to buy some stuff for home. Do you want to join us? We're finish for today" 

"Um..no. I'd better walk home. See you later" I said smiling. I wasn't in a mood for shopping.

"Okay. See ya!" He waved and he was gone together with Kevin. I decided to walk home now. I'll probably watch films or something.

 "Do you mind if I walk you home?" I heard a voice behind my back. I looked over to see Harry smiling. I smiled back.

"No, if it's okay for you" I hesitated. I was confused by his gesture.

"Oh, it's okay. I'd actually expected to hear a sarcastic anwser from you. Now I'm impressed." He said cheekily.

"Well, don't get used to it. I'm not always sarcastic, anyway." I admitted.

"It's just a mask, to keep people away, like me" He said looking straight in my eyes. I froze.

"No. Well, maybe..." I was speechless. Oh God, I can't be blocked.

"Admit it...It looks like I'm gonna figure you out." HE said winking.

"Oh I doubt that. No one knows me. Sometimes I feel I don't even know myself." 

"You're not the only one. It's the hardest thing in your life, to discover yourself. To discover who you really are" He said thoughtfully.

"That's right. Hey...you're really not the dumb" I said punching playfully his stomach. He gigled.

"Oh, can I take that as a compliment?" He asked grinning.

"You'll never now" I winked at him playfully.

"Ohh-ooh...You're not that snappy, by the way" He said smiling.

"Oh, was it a compliment?" I asked laughing.

"Actually it was"

"OHMYGOD HARRY STYLES GAVE ME A COMPLIMENT. I MUST BE DREAMING.AAA!" I yelled, pretending that I'm a fangirl. 

"Very funny" He said sarcastically.

"Oh, you loved it, really" I winked at him.

"So, that's Nicole Smith without her mask. Which one is the real you. The ice queen or the lovely one?"

"Both"

"No. I don't believe that." He stopped, looking in my eyes. I quckly looked away. I didn't want to look in his eyes, because I knew, once I did, I won't be able to think clear. Which is what I needed to do in that moment.

"Well, we're here. Thank you for walking me home." I said quickly, still looking at the ground.

"No problem. It was a lovely first date." He said grining. I suddenly looked at him, protesting.

"It wasn't a date"

"But we can make one" He said cheekily. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah, sure" I said sarcastically.

"No, seriously. Wednesday, 7 o'clock?" He asked. I froze. I have to go inside quickly.

"Bye Harry" I smiled as I started to walk to my doorstep.

"Is that a yes?" He shouted after me.

"No" I shouted back.

"Is that a no?" He asked saddly.

"Bye Harry." That was all I said before I went inside. I leaned my head to the door. What's happening with me? 

"You're still here, leaning to the door, aren't you?" I heard Harry's voice.

"No, I'm not" Shit. Why did I answer back?

"Just as I thought. Goodbye my love. See you tomorrow" He said.

"I'm not your love" I shouted loudly so that he could hear me. He was laughing, so he luckily did. Oh how I hate that guy. That was a lie, but still. I can't get him out of my head. Probably because he's so annoying. Yeah, that's the reason.
