At first the lights were blinding as our eyes started to adjust to the strobbing effect. There were people everywhere, the dance floor had flowed outside into the court yard area and the whole place was practically jumping.
The three of us slowly managed to make our way through the sea of people and come up for air at the bar.
"Ladies" A deep voice sounded in my ear, immediately making every hair on my body stand up.
Slowly turning around i cannot explain the amount of emotions that sped through my body upon seeing my uncle standing there, with the teethest grin i've ever seen plastered on his face.
"Do. Not. Do. That!" I said pushing him back by the shoulder.
"oh its nice to see you too my beautiful niece."
Laughing, we all chatted to catch up on the latest news with my uncle. Turns out he the sold the boat and bought a holiday house in Los Angeles. Casual. Sometimes it seriously seemed like he just threw his money around, like that annoying rich guy in the shop that just buys anything he wants and willingly pays the 'there's a 2% surcharge for credit card' fee. From the outside he could seem like he was a snide middle aged man with a lot of money, but if you knew him, you knew he worked extremely hard for his money. From a young age my uncle and father had learnt to work hard at any job they could. Doing paper runs in the morning, working cafes in the afternoon and restaurant work on the weekends. They didn't have a lot growing up and saved everything they could. Clearly it was paying off for my uncle at least.
Silence fell for about 30 seconds as we all anxiously sipped quietly on our drinks bopping to the beat. And as if she had been holding her breath, May suddenly burst out asking my uncle the question he knew was coming.
"WHERE IS HE?"
Raising an eyebrow he questioned her with whom she meant.
"May, calm down, there is so many people in here, i doubt -" I started to say when, the damn brown haired curly white boy walked towards us.
"Oh shit." The three of us all said in unison. Frozen we sat still on our bar stool as he bought a beer right next to us.
"Hey mate" My uncle said putting his hand on Harrys Styles's shoulder. "I'm George, I own this place and just wanted to say i hope you have you great night here, and thanks for coming to my pub, great for business" he continued laughing to himself by the end.
Turning to face him, Harry put his hand on my Uncles shoulder as well, as if though they were old mates finally reunited after years. We just sat there and watched it unfold before our eyes.
"Thanks man, this place is great! I think Niall and the other boys might be coming later if thats ok?"
"Of corse, my pub is your pub, bring everyone! your always welcome here!" My uncle said grinning.
Smiling at each other they just sort of... stood there for a minute. Patting each others shoulders... When suddenly as if on Que., i sneezed... Snapping May, June and myself out of our daze from watching the interation happen in front of us.
"Bless you dear, oh yeah, Harry this is my niece, Rose and her friends June and May."
And then it happened. He looked at us. Like actually looked at us. Used his eyes to look at our eyes. And suddenly it was like we were 16 again and in the 11th grade and our brains were melting.
"Hey, how you doing?" He asked us each individually. Responding with "well thank you" and "good, hoe about you?" we managed to pluk up the courage to speak. Harry had been standing by us and talking to my uncle for a few minutes and it wasn't going unnoticed by other girls in the pub. People were starting to notice and girls were eyeing us off like we were an enemy, seeing their faces and the man standing in front of us, my mouth decided to go rouge and speak without my brain thinking first.
"Want to dance?"
I didnt even mean to say it. Oh my god. It just came out! I couldnt help it. May and June clearly also taken aback by my sudden confidence almost gasped when he nodded and grabbed my hand. Pulling me towards to dance floor. I was struggling to understand what was happening.
Like Jesus, he parted the crowd and we made our way to the middle of the dance floor. At first he just randomly jumped up and down and i tried to match him but it didn't work and i can only imagined i looked like an idiot. We continued the weird jump dancing for a while and soon the onlookers began to get bored and turned back around to their friends and not pay attention to Harry and I.
As they did Harry stopped jumping. Thank god. I needed a break my feet were starting to get sore. Before i could walk back to my seat though, not really knowing what to do or what had just happened or even what was happening. Harry took a few steps closer to me and whisppered in my ear.
"Now we can dance properly because they arn't watching."
With that he took my hands and put them around his neck, he slid his hands down my waist and I was certain this peeked peoples interest but they really did not seem notice and had lost interest. Harry had been in the pub awhile and the crowd must have been getting used to him and calmed down from first seeing him. We stayed like that for a while just kinda swaying to the songs. At some point, i found our faces getting closer and closer and his nose was brushing mine. I couldn't work out why he was dancing with me. He didn't try to talk to me and when i had spent just a little too long staring at his lips so close to mine he kissed me. Not rushed and gross like when your drunk, but just... nicely... I could not deal with what was happening. My hands made their way through his hair and his hands tightened on my waist as the kiss got deeper. Pulling apart for air the song ended.
As the song ended, and we pulled apart and he mentioned he would be 'right back'. I walked back over to where June and April were but they werent sitting there anymore. Sending a quick "where are you' text, they replied;
"BATHROOM OMG WE ARE COMING BACK RIGHT NOW, WHAT THE HECK, WHAT HAPPENED?!"
Not needing to respond because they were back talking and yelling in my face.
"What. Happened." June breathed out.
Laughing i responed. "We were just dancing and then he kissed me!"
"WHAT?! Oh that's so amazing! you kissed HARRY STYLES!" June managed to reply.
"he said he was coming right back." i said grinning ear to ear, but after i had said that their faces dropped.
"What?"
"Turn around" and sure enough there he was dancing with another girl, the same way he was with me. Why was i surprised? That's who he was.
"Hey, but not everyone gets to be a harry girl! you still kissed the one and only!" May said and we went back to the bar and had a few more drinks but i couldn't shake the sinking feeling i got when i looked back at him with more and more girls. It started to get late so we decided to leave. Taking one last look at one of the boys we had spent years obsessing over, we left still buzzing that one of us got to dance with him even if many others did as well.
We got up and headed for the exit, making our way outside into the cold crisp air.
"Wait!" someone called from behind us just as we were about to go outside.
Turning around we saw that Harry was heading over to us.
"Your the owners neice right?" he asked.
Managing to nod at him, he continued.
"Niall was meant to come out, but there are so many paps outside that he didn't want to get out of the car so decided to go back to the hotel. And now i cant leave either... is there a back door or a way i can get out of here without them realising?"
Looking at June and May they were grinning and already saying 'yes' on repeat. Shaking my head i simply said,
"Follow me"
