A Piece of Paper (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 3- Bets, Dares, and the Truth

Mel's P.O.V.

I can see Harry sigh and reach into his dark denim jeans pocket and pull out his wallet. As he is pulling out the money I can see the rest of the boys reactions and realize what I made them do. "You tricked us!" Niall says still stuffing his face with a sandwich. I don't know why but I think its kinda cute like that. Am I crushing on Niall? Well he does have unbelievably nice blonde hair with brown roots you can see. And dashing blue eyes that you can just get lost into by one look. His personatlity, hes sweet, funny, cute. HE is all I could have wanted, but I can't fall for him. He is just like Liam, a big sucessful pop star. Then I feel something in my hand, then I realize I have zoned off and Harry has given me the money. I pull back my hand and start to say very cockily, " Pleasure for the business Mr. Styles."  Harry replies back," Remind me to never bet you on something ever again." I laugh and the rest of the boy are still dumbfounded at the scene. And I reply back to Niall from earlier," Not really, I used reverse physchology(I don't care if frickin get the spelling wrong)." I can actually feel the stares directed towards me for my comment. 

"Smart girl." Louis says and rubs my head as if I were a 5 year old just reading a dictionary. Then he goes off to put away the cleaning supplies upstairs next to the kitchen door on the side. Now that the whole living room is clean I can actually see the furniture. Its absolutely ravishing! When you come in the door the you can see the brown polished dining table on your left, the kitchen counter is on your right with marble colmns on the top supporting the ceiling in the kitchen, the beige corner couch is in the middle of the room facing the tv and blue walls all around. The rest of the boys go to put away the cleaning supplies and I don't really think they were mad at me after I tricked them. Louis comes back first and hops down the stairs and goes to the couch to join Harry to watch a movie. I just stand there feeling awkward like the clumsy person I am until I feel someones's arm around my shoulder and leads me to the couch. I look to see who it is and I find out its Zayn. Liam and Niall come back and stand in front of the couch and Liam says wanting to break teh silence in the room,"Shall we get that autograph for your friend then Melissa?" "Um yeah..sure."

I get up from the couch and before I can walk away with Liam in front, Zayn gets up and suggests that since I met all of them why not let Violet meet them. Both Liam and Zayn look at me and I say very awkwardly, " Yeah...but you know...she might....freak out." I can see Niall sit down on the couch where me and Zayn where sitting and he says that its okay because they are used to that. Then I discover that Niall's accent isn't like the rest of the boys but I can't quite put my finger on the accent. Then all look at me anixously like kids waiting for candy on Halloween. I finally relent to them and say,"fine." They all seem happy by my words and I tell them not right now cause she thinks I am at the mall getting a new stereo system for our Christmas party. We all sit down and Zayn puts his arm around me once again and I can see out of the corner of my eye that Niall keeps on looking at me during the film.And every time Niall does so Zayn pulls me in closer to him.

At some point towards the end, I get up and ask where the bathroom is and Liam tells me its the 2 door on the left. I walk down the hallway feeling the stares behind me. I open the door and see a very modern bathroom and pretty neat for 5 boys. I quickly close the door and I hear whispers from outside.

"I like her." "But I like her too." "Settle down, she probably likes both of you, she'll just choose." I recongnize the first voice as Zayns but whose the second and third voice? Does Zayn like me? Well he put his arm around you twice, and he seemed protective of me. But I l sort of like Niall. And Liam but he has a girlfriend so he is out of the question. I hear again the voices again but very clearly this time," .....you like her don't you Harry?" Thats probably Louis they are peanut butter and jelly. "No of course not, she doesn't even like me!" "But you always like girls who ignore you, remember Vanessa?" "Of course I remember her, she was so my type. But her boyfriend won her over." I stopped listening after that. Does Harry think women are just a prize? Well congrats Harry, you got one thing right. I hate you. I hate men who are players, can't keep their hands off other women. Well I did hear Violet say Harry was the flirt of the group one time.

I open the door to the bathroom and come back. By then the boys have stopped whispering and pretended nothing happened. I decide to sit on the edge of the couch next to Liam because I cannot deal with Niall and Zayn. Once the film was done Niall turned off the tv and suggested we play a game. Zayn thought of playing Truth or Dare. Louis called going first and just so happened to pick me. He can see the look on my face and I pick dare because I figure its the safest way to go. Not.

"Ms. Carter I dare you to snog Harry." He says so michaeviously. They all see the confused look on my face and Liam explains that snogging is making out. Once I hear that, they can see my face go from confused to revenge is coming Louis......

"Do I have to???"

"A dare is a dare. Carter."

Then I hear Harry speak up.

"Don't worry, I'm not liking this either."

Then we both glare at Louis. Me and Harry both stand up and face each other. He grabs my lower back and pulls me in closer to him. Our faces are merely centimeters apart. I grab his neck and our lips molding together perfectly, like magic. Not like the scene kiss. This one was just like that but only more passionate and loving. He grabs my neck and brushes his hands into my slightly tangled curly dark brown hair.  My hands stay on his neck and we both pull away after like 5 minutes. I just want to hate him, but I can't. My lips are begging for more of his passionate ways. Wait, I can't like him. Can I?

We both face each other, staring, then after a while Zayn clears his throat and we go back to our seats, at each edge of the couch.
