Stuck : A One Direction Fan Fiction

Part 7

Part 7

Yes you heard correctly, I did decide to go to the concert.  I had a good time but I think I am deaf from all the screaming.  I promise I did not do any of it.  Right now I am trying to decide if I am going to meet Harry and the guys for some food or if I should just call it a night.  You would think after that kiss earlier that my mind would be made up but it’s not.

I start to walk since the restaurant is just a few blocks away and it’s a cool, breezy night.  I could use the time to clear my head.  Am I really going to go further with this?  Maybe he’s right, I do think too much.  I’m acting like going out to dinner means we are married. It’s just pizza!

I finally arrive at the restaurant and walk in.  I am not sure if they have made it there yet so I look around to see if I spot them.  The first glimpse I see is Niall’s blonde head.  I make my way over to where they are sitting.  As I am half way there Harry spots me and waves me over.  The rest of the guys begin to smile real big and goofy.  I have a feeling they’ve been teasing him with the way they all keep sharing glances and snickering.

I finally get to the table and sit in the empty spot on the end of the booth next to Harry.  It feels weird…being out with a guy again.  I smile at everyone and wave hello.  “We can’t believe you actually showed up,” Louis says, “Harry does not stop talking abo…..” he is cut off by Harry putting his hand over Louis’s mouth. 

“Shut up!” Harry says then quickly pulls his hand away from Louis’s mouth and wipes it on his shirt.  He turns to me and says “He licked me!” I just giggle.

“So, Amy, how did you like the show?” Liam asks. 

“I had a good time, thank you.  I needed to get out of the house.”  I am not sure what else to say and luckily I don’t need to because the waiter comes over with two pizza pies and we begin to eat.

There was little conversation while eating but when there was it was mostly jokes.  These guys remind me a lot of me and my group of friends I hang out with.  Maybe we aren’t so different after all.  Every once in a while Harry and I glance at each other and smile.  Maybe my friends were right.  Maybe this is what I need right now in my life.

“Amy…Amy are you with us, Amy?” I hear Louis say and Niall is waving his hand in front of my face.  I must have zoned out for a second.

“I’m sorry, what?” I feel embarrassed I let that happen and my cheeks turn red.  I feel a hand on mine under the table and he squeezes.

“Are you going to come back to the hotel with us?  No funny business or anythin’, just movie watchin’” Niall asks, I am not sure if he was the one who originally asked.

I just look at Harry.  I can tell in his eyes that he wants me to go with them but he respectfully  says, “It’s up to you.”

“I should probably go home.  It’s getting late.  I had a great time though. Thank you for the pizza.” I grab my purse from the seat next to me and stand up to leave, Harry stands up too and walks me outside.

“So those were the guys,” he says.  “Now what do we do?  At least give me your number.  I’ll give you mine.  I still want to be in your life even if we are just friends but honestly I would like more”

“Why me, Harry?” I don’t know why I said that.  I had been thinking it ever since I met him. He could have anyone so why go after someone who is obviously not ready?

He puts his hand behind his head and nervously scratches the back of his skull.  “Because I can tell you need it.  Because you’re different than anyone I’ve ever met.” He pauses then sings, “‘Cause you’ve got that one thing.”

“That is so corny!” I say as I let out a laugh, he laughs too.

“So how ‘bout it?  Let’s see where this goes.” He snatches a pen out of my purse and writes his number on my hand. I take a piece of paper out and write my number down and give it to him. 

“Goodnight, Harry,” I say as I step into a cab not regretting anything.  I sigh as I lean my head back and let my mind wander.  For the first time in a long time I feel special.
