ONE THING

Chapter 12 ~ FAA (Food Above All)

Now I'm sitting on the bed in my room, trying to analize things. Well, not really. I keep thinking about food because I'm really hungry, but I'm too lazy to go get something to eat. I should probably go. That will distract me from what's happening now. After Zoe told me that she thinks Harry's in love with me, I started denying in, but I think I know she was right. Well, I've got some more important stuff to do, like grabbing some food so I won't think about it. And you can't tell me food isn't more important because if I didn't eat anything, I'd die, right? I opened the door and bumped into Niall who was just about to get in. "Hey, where are you going?" he asked. "I'm heading downstairs to get something to eat." I said. "Wanna come with me?" "Sorry, I really need to take a shower, but Harry's there so he'll keep you company" he said, kissed me and went into the room. I was just left there standing like an idiot. Ok, I admit it, my plan was to avoid Harry all the time, but I'm really hungry. And since my motto is FAA, or Food Above All, I'm gonna go there and just blend in. This is a big hotel, right? There must be many people eating in a restaurant. 

I opened the door and saw that the restaurant is empty. Well, there goes my theory. But hey, that means that Harry isn't here too! Hell yeah! I started jumping around and walking like an idiot. But who cares, no one can see me.  "Umm, hello." I heard someone behind me. I turned around and saw Harry  who was trying hard not to laugh. I always laugh in situations like that, so yeah, I started laughing which made him laugh too. Actually, he was laughing so hard that he almost dropped the food he was carrying."What was that about?" he asked me. "A long story, and trust me, you don't want to know" I replied. "Ok then" he said "So, umm, do you want to join me?" he pointed to a table which already had some food on. "Yeah, sure, why not?" I said because it would be too suspicious if I didn't. Yeah, well, I'm smart like that. I sat there and then realized I didn't take anything to eat. I AM SMART! It's just that I'm really confused and nervous in Harry's presence. "Oh, I forgot food." I said quietly. Harry laughed again and asked "Have you been drinking anything today? And I don't mean water." "No!" I said, pretending I'm mad, but a little smile appeared on my face. I turned around and started walking. "Umm," I heard Harry "food is the other way" he said. "I wasn't going there!" I said and quickly looked at the signs in front of me. "I was going to the.. umm, kitchen!" "Kitchen?" he looked at me suspiciously. "Yeah, kitchen!" I yelled. "Because I want someone to recommend me, umm, what to eat!" "Ok, then, go for it!" he said and kept looking at me. If he only looked somewhere else, I could just go hide and then pretend I went out of the kitchen. "Look, a plane!" I shouted. But wait, we're in a building. "Really?" he said, obviously having fun. "Ok, I admit it, I wasn't going in the kitchen, I just went the wrong way. Happy now?" I said. "I really wouldn't notice that if you didn't tell me." he said, still having that smile on his face. Ok, I'm just gonna get that stupid food, eat it quickly and get the hell out of here. But where is it? I've never been here. Shit, I'll have to ask Harry. Goodbye, pride. I turned away to ask him, but he already answered "That door on the right" and he pointed. I suddenly remembered the time I was thinking how cool would it be if my boyfriend could read my mind. No, what the hell? I already have a boyfriend. And Harry can't read my mind, it was just a coincidence. Anyways, I finally got to the food and everything disappeared from my mind. It was just food, food and food. FAA. Like I said before. Food Above All. I put food on my plate until it was full and went back to the table. Harry looked at my plate and said "Wow, someone's really hungry" "Shut up" I said and smiled. We ate our food quietly and then headed back to our rooms. We came in front of my room and I said "Well, here's my room. See you later." He just smiled, kissed me on the cheek and walked away to his room. I can't say I didn't feel anything. I mean, he is really attractive. And I had fun today. But I still love Niall so we can only be good friends. Zoe was probably wrong, I said to myself.

Niall and I spent the rest of the day just lazying around, cuddling and talking. We were too lazy to go downstairs and eat something so we ordered room service. How didn't I think of that before? I guess I'm not used to hotels and stuff like that. The night came and we were laying on the bed. Niall had already fallen asleep when I received a text. It was from Harry. "Can you please come to my room? I really need someone to talk to." It said. I didn't know what to do. A good friend would go there, right? So I quietly went out of the bed and headed to Harry's room.
