Harry POV

We waited for the girls for what seemed like ages.

"How much longer will you guys take?" Niall asked standing in front of their closed door. They were changing in Alex's room.

"Almost done," Danielle said, opening the door just a tad bit and peeking her head out.

"Okay, then I guess we'll be downstairs, then," I said.

"No, no, you guys wait here, for us," Danielle said, and then she went back in the room. Why should we wait here?

The lads and I had worn our best suits. Everyone, except me, wore a tie. I wore a bow.

The wait was really long and boring, so I decided to start up a conversation.

"So, Niall," I said. "how was your date with Remi?"

"It was great!" he said getting redder by the second. "She is amazing."

"Did you invite her for the party tonight?" Zayn asked.

"Yeah, she said she would love to come," Niall said now looking as red as a rose.

"Well, mate," I said, "lookes like you own a 'thank you' to Alex, after all Remi is her friend."

"Yeah I guess," Niall said. "But then I owe a 'thank you' to you too because you were the one who got her here."

I just nodded.

"Are you guys ready to see us?" Eleanor asked from the other side of the door.

"Yes, just come out already!" Louis said. He was pretty frustrated.

The door opened, the first one to come out, was Eleanor. Well, like always she looked fabulous. Next was Perrie, her hair was up and it looked silky and shinnier than ever. Danielle came out after Perrie, she had a grey long dress on, with really high heels, she looked amazing. I really wondered what Alex looked like.

She came out at last. At the moment, she was the most gorgeous girl I had ever seen. Her long eyelashes, her high cheek-bones, and her long brown hair onto one side, all went well with the dress she wore. The dress! It was the dress I sent her. Did she know it was me who sent it? I hoped she didn't.

Her make-up was done very perfectly, and her hair was set. She was perfect. I might've been staring at her pretty hard because Liam had to clear his throat right in my ear. I stopped staring.

Alex looked at me a flashed a quick smile. She came next to me and linked her arm in mine. We walked arm in arm down the stairs with everyone else.

"Alex," I started,"You look amazing."

She smiled, and was blushing slightly, she was so cute.

"I really mean it." I said, and the door bell rang.

"It must be Remi," Niall said as he got up to open the door.

And sure enough, it was her.

"Hey guys! Oh my gosh you all look fantastic," Remi said, after giving Niall a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Is that you Alex?" Remi looked surprised. "Oh my god, you look so different! You look amazing!"

"Thanks Remi, so do you," Alex said. Remi was wearing a violet strapless, and very short dress. It looked a bit slutty to me, but I kept my mouth shut.

We reached the place in the next hour. The place was full of paparazzi's, one of them asked Alex-

"Are you Harry's girlfriend?"

I took Alex away from the lights of the paparazzi's cameras, and guided her inside.

She sighed,"How do you guys go through that every time?"

"Just got used to it I guess'" I said.

She smiled, and we headed in. It was like a ballroom. There was a dance floor in the middle, and food lined up on both sides of the wall. I saw Niall drag Remi to the food. The place was magnificent.

"Harry! Alex!" Liam called us to a long table reserved for us.

We sat down and had a little chit-chat. Niall came back with Remi. And then Niall did something strange.

"Alex, would you like to dance with me?" he asked.

"I would love to, Niall," Alex said. "But I think Remi is your date, so shouldn't you be dancing with her?"

"I already did! I want to dance with you now! Please?"

Alex nodded and went on the dance floor with Niall. Wait, she was my date, so why didn't she dance with me?

I watched her dance along with the rhythm. There was fair space between her and Niall, good. Not that I was jealous or anything....okay, just a tad.

"I think Niall has danced enough, don't you?" Zayn asked. "Go and steal Alex from him."

I nodded, adn Zayn smirked at me. I headed to the dance floor.

"Mind if I steal Alex, Niall?" I asked.

"All yours," he said.

We started to fast-dance just for second, when the music slowed down. Suddenly, soft and slow music started to play.

I took Alex's waist. She looked confused and uncomfortable at first, but then she put her hands on my shoulder.

"Listen, if you want to dance later-" I started.

"No, it's okay," she interrupted.

I looked at Louis who was standing next to the DJ, he winked. He was the one that changed the song. I shot him a killing look, but he just gave me two thumbs up.

We just danced in silence. Now In regular situations "quiet" would be awkward, but silence seemed very comforting with Alex. It was like we didn't need words to communicate at all.

But that is, of course, is she liked me. She doesn't, so I really don't know where I stand.

"Thank you," Alex said suddenly.

"For what?"

"The dress,"

"Who told you?"

"I just figured it out," she sighed. After a moment she said, "Okay this might sound weird, but whenever I look at you, I feel like I've known you forever, it's like I think I know what you're thinking about without you even telling me. Is that normal?"

She looked up at me. I just realized how much shorter she was than me.

"The same has been happening with me. I-" she cut me off by placing her finger on my lips.

The next thing in know her soft lips were upon mine.

We broke apart, then Alex said-

"I always loved you, I just didn't know it."

"Now you do," I replied.

"Yes, I do."

She rested her head on top of my chest. And I just danced away the night, with the one I loved by my side. It couldn't be better. It was perfect.
