What Are You So Afraid Of? [Harry Styles]

Chapter 14

“Okay, I will admit defeat,” Harry said with a smirk.

After about twenty minutes of uncontrollable laughter, the boys decided it was time to go to bed.  Louis, Zayn and Liam had already gone back to their rooms and Haz was walking back with Niall to give his clothes back to him and help him clean the room that they had left a mess after searching for clothes.

“Well, yeah, we obviously won,” Jez said and smiled.

“How did you get my clothes anyway?” Harry asked, still sitting on the bed.

“We broke into your room,” Jez rolled her eyes. “Well, Haz broke into your room.”

“Don’t act so innocent, you obviously didn’t have a problem going through my things,” Harry said with a raised eyebrow.

“Shut up,” Jez said and smiled. “You know I can’t really argue with Haz.”

Harry shook his head, stood up and walked over to where Jez was standing. “Well, this was fun.” He grinned, his dimple showing. Jez felt a light flutter of butterflies at his smile, but shook the feeling off.

“Yeah, it was,” Jez folded her arms across her chest. “Don’t get used to it, we’re stuck together for an entire year, it’s bound to dry out soon.”

“I think this year will be… interesting.” Harry said, his voice getting quieter.

Jez looked down, afraid to meet his eyes and realized that she was still wearing his clothes. “I guess you want these back?” she asked, reaching behind her head to remove the headband.

“Yes, please take those clothes off,” Jez heard his voice turn husky, but she could still hear the amusement behind it.

She rolled her eyes; bent down to take his jeans off and fold them, “You know, if you want to see me naked…” she started.

“I should just ask you?” Harry finished, making Jez look up quickly. She was surprised when she saw that the green of his eyes were just thin rings around his irises. This time she couldn’t ignore the flutter she felt in her stomach as she met his gaze.

Jez coughed and held out his clothes to him, “No, I was going to say that if you want to see me naked, that’s the kind of thing you should really keep to yourself.”

The corner of Harry’s mouth pulled up into a half smile, “What about my shirt?”

Jez looked down at the shirt she was wearing, “Oh, its Alex’s,” she said, realizing that she was still wearing it.

“Oh,” was all he said.

Jez looked up in confusion and was about to ask what was wrong when he spoke quickly, “Well, I better get going.” He smiled and started to walk away.

What is happening? Jez thought to herself. There was no way that Harry could be upset because she was wearing Alex’s shirt. She wasn’t even sure if she and Harry were friends, he had no right to be upset.

“Harry,” Jez said before he could walk out the door.

He stopped and turned to look at her, “Yeah?”

“Goodnight,” Jez said and smiled.

“Night,” Harry said, smiled and walked out the door.

Once he left, Haz walked through the door and looked at Jez who was still standing by the bed. “What is that?” Haz asked, pointing to the door.

Jez shrugged and answered honestly, “I have no idea.”
