Minutes later, we pull up to the restaurant and Harry opens the car door for me. I grab his hand and give him a reassuring squeeze.

"Thank you for doing this, Harry."

"Anything for you," he said softly. These three words have become the routine when he does something for me these past couple of days. I liked it.

We walked into the restaurant and got a table. Soon after Niall and Madison walked in. I immediately got up and hugged Madison followed by Niall.

Harry awkwardly stood behind us. I intertwined our hands and walked up to Madison.

"Madz, this is Harry. Harry, this is Madison," I introduced.

"The famous Harry Styles. Nice to meet you," Madison said.

Harry stuck his hand out, but Madison pulled him into a hug. I tried to hold in my laugh while they hugged. It looked so awkward.

It was Harry's turn to hug Niall. They looked at each other for what seemed like forever. Harry's right hand ran through his hair and then fell to his left bicep.

"Niall, look-"

Harry was cut off by Niall's arms wrapping around Harry's body. Harry didn't know what was happening, but put hugged Niall back. I couldn't help but smile at this beautiful sight. Maybe lunch wasn't going to be so bad after all.

"I missed you, brother," I hear Niall say as they broke the hug.

"Y-yeah, you too," Harry stuttered.

I grabbed Harry's hand and smiled at him. He returned the gesture. I could tell he was genuinely glad that him and Niall were on good terms again.

I leaned up and kissed him. The kiss only lasted for a second, but I liked every moment of it. We sat down next to each other with Madison and Niall facing us.

Madison and Niall weren't officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet, but they acted like it. They basically did everything together, like Harry and I. Niall needs to ask her soon.

"I have something to tell you guys, but we should wait until Louis gets here," I say.

Everyone nods and as if on cue, Louis walks into the restaurant. Madison, Niall , and I stand up and hug Louis. We all sit back down and Harry puts his hand on my thigh. My hand then rests on his. There is no better feeling than this.

"What did you have to tell us?" Madison asks.

Before I could answer, the waitress asks us what we would like to order. We all order and she leaves.

"Before I say anything, promise me you won't freak out," I say.

Everyone says they promise and I continue, " I went over to Harry's place and it turns out his room mate was the guy who did that stuff to me a year ago. I was-"

"You were living with the guy who did that to Caly?" Louis practically yells pointing at Harry.

"Yes, but I didn't know! I beat him up when I found out. I would have killed him if Caly hadn't stopped me," Harry rebutted.

"Harry protected me, Louis. There's no reason to get mad," I said calmly.

"But I found you there, Caly! This ass was no where to be seen when you were lying there on that bed. You know what? I'm out of here. See you guys later," Louis said walking out of the restaurant.

I ran after Louis. He was about to get in his car when I stopped him.

"Louis, please come back inside," I pleaded.

"I can't be in there with him. You're my best friend, but I can't stand him. I'm sorry," Louis apologized.

"You don't have to apologize. What Harry did to you is awful, I understand that. I wouldn't be able to forgive someone if they did that to me. But, Louis, Harry was your best friend. Don't you miss the memories you've made with him?" I ask.

"I guess, but that was before Harry slept with my fiancé."

"Harry has changed. He really has. I need you to see that. I know you miss him and he misses you too. He feels so awful for what he did. Please give him a chance," I beg.

Louis groans and walks back into the restaurant with me. We sit back down and I start talking.

"As I was saying, I was super shocked, but everything is fine. Harry made sure he's not going to come near me again, so I don't need to be paranoid anymore," I concluded.

"That's great. Thanks, mate," Niall said to Harry.

Harry smiled and nodded at Niall. I could see their friendship coming back already. I'm so excited for what the future has in store for us. Now all I need to work on is Harry and Louis.

"So, Harry, how long have you been in LA for?" Niall asked.

And with that question, the conversation sparked. Everyone was talking and laughing. It was a great feeling seeing everyone here having a great time. Even Harry and Louis spoke once or twice. Our food was brought to the table, and we kept talking in between bites. Did I mention how beautiful Harry's laugh is? I could listen to it every day forever.

Harry and I made eye contact multiple times throughout lunch. I could never get used to those green eyes sending daggers toward me. His eyes were beautiful and I loved how they felt on me.

The way he looked at me sparked those beautiful butterflies in my stomach. The group noticed, but I didn't care. The world stops when our eyes meet. No matter how many times I feel those butterflies, they will never get old.

Being with Harry will never get old.
