Summer to Remember

Chapter Nine

Later that night I helped my uncle pack his suitcases, I have to admit it was great bonding time for the both of us. I was truly going to miss him but it was better off for him to be with my aunt in Australia, they hadn't seen each other for a long time and they both deserved a great summer vacation. I had trouble sleeping at night, I couldn't help but wonder if Rebecca was telling the truth about Harry so I decided to text her.

Me: "Hey Rebecca, it's Ella."

Rebecca: "Hi Els! Wassup? x"

Me: "Can't sleep, I was thinking about what you said"

Rebecca: "Well it's true hun, he had a crush ever since he saw ur pic and had been dying to meet u (;"

Me: "Honestly?"

Rebecca: "Yes! Why so shocked Els?"

Me: "Idk, anyway about you & Niall... (;"

Rebecca: "Uggh, Harry is such a blabber mouth -yah I like that Irish cutie"

Me: "Awww! You should come over soon so we can do something :P"

Rebecca: "Will do love! I gtg sleep now, sweet dreams <3"

And that was the end of our conversation, you'd think that I would be able to sleep after that but I couldn't, it really got me thinking. I didn't really understand what the hell was happening to me. Why did I get distracted by Harry's smile, why did my heart skip a beat when he glanced at me then glanced away? Replaying everything that happened today made my heart beat faster and I felt like the bedroom walls were coming onto me. Bored and unable to fall asleep I walked over to my balcony door and decided to admire the city. It wasn't chilly outside so I didn't have to wear anything over my tank-top and shorts. It was 3 am and there was not a drop of sleep in my eye, it was entertaining watching the flickering lights of the city. I grabbed a chair and sat down, my arms up on the ledge of the balcony. I remembered what my uncle said about breathing in the air of London, my new home for the summer. I decided to call Delilah because she would be awake at this time. "Hey Delilah" I greeted her excitedly.

"Els! I was just thinking of you!" she admitted.

"Couldn't sleep so I thought I'd hear your voice"

"Awww, so how's it going in London?" she asked.

"It's great so far" I confessed.

"You're not thinking of Eric right?"

"Nope, not a bit"

"Good! Any summer loves blooming?" I couldn't help but giggle.

"Well I don't know, I might have a teeny crush on someone..." I say. Delilah wanted to know who it was but I couldn't just tell her I was living with One Direction so I decided to tell her later. I hung up the phone with the biggest grin on my face, Delilah had that special ability to make me smile anytime and anywhere. Suddenly I heard someone coughing, surprised I looked over to Harry's balcony and there he was sitting in a chair, he had a slight smirk on his face from what I could see in the dark.

"Delilah sounds like a nice girl" he stated.

"Were you eavesdropping?" I ask. Uh-oh, I hope he didn't hear about me having a crush on someone.

"No I wasn't, I was here the whole time, I couldn't help but hear everything you said" he said.

"Whatever I didn't reveal any secrets, so hah!" I chuckled.

"I recall you saying something about having a crush on someone, right?" he questioned smirking. Oh great, he heard...
