Annabel
It's been three days since the little incident with Josh and I, which we have had a couple more of those.
Now I've made sure to let Liam know where I was going, even though I thought he was being childish about it.
He didn't even come to talk to me. I had to go and talk to him and apoligize to him. He knows how much I hated doing that.
Of course, he forgave me, but then there's another little problem. Harry has been extremely distant with me again. I mean, we talk when we have to, but if we're alone, he'll go dead silent. He'll just sit there and stare off into space or go into the room to talk to Lyla.
I thought that maybe she wasn't as perfect as he thought, so maybe they were having issues.
But honestly, I didn't really care. Actually no, that's a lie. I cared, but I tried to force myself to think I didn't. I wasn't over him, but I've spent so much time with Josh in the past few days. And when I'm with him, I can't help but forget about Harry in that time, less and less.
I wasn't rushing any of this, though. Taking everything step by step, day by day. We've already been in LA for a week. I know, a week already! Which means we have only one week left.
This means only a week left of seeing Josh everyday. Going back to London where I'll go back to school and where everything will most likely go back to normal.
Me seeing Harry and Lyla every single day together, becoming more and more jealous. I'm sure this is exactly what Harry wanted.
I wondered where this would leave Josh and I. I mean, I know we're nowhere near being in a relationship. We're just sort of in a friends-with-benefits type of deal. We'll hold hands and kiss here and there along with cuddling, but mostly because we've been single for so long, we've missed the presence of another person.
I definitely didn't want to lose contact with Josh. He's a very sweet and genuine guy, and maybe I might just want him to stick around.
But I didn't want to think of departure yet. That's an entirely different story.
I was focusing on the night ahead. Josh had planned for us to go to a club for teens/young adults. He said it was a pretty cool place to go to, and of course I didn't mind.
It was going on six o'clock pm, and I had just finished getting ready. Because I didn't plan on getting drunk, only having a couple of beers maybe, I dressed simple and comfortable for my liking.
The only person I really worried about impressing was Josh, speaking of which, we were apparently now a 'couple' in the Hollywood world.
Remember when we got caught at the coffee shop and fleeing from the papparazzi hand-in-hand? Well, people went wild over it.
I literally couldn't go on my Twitter because that's all my page was full of. Many Directioners were pissed, of course. First I apparently took their precious little Harry from them, and now I'm taking Josh? Yeah, they're definitely not happy campers.
It cleared up a little from Josh tweeting:
@jhutch1992: Don't worry everyone, Annabel and I are just friends! I'm still a single man ;)
It worked somewhat, causing things to die down a bit, but most people didn't believe it for a second.
Back to the present, I had just finished getting ready. I took a final look in the mirror, pleased with the outcome. I chose to wear a very summery and flowy yellow chiffon bandeau strapless dress. It reached to about my knees. Over the past week, I had definitely earned a cute little tan. I wore a pair of wedges to match the dress, and even painted my toes and fingernails yellow.
