ONE THING

Chapter 20 ~ Awkward

Anna's P.O.V.

Ok. Calm down. This isn't awkward. This isn't awkward. This isn't- Wait. Who am I even kidding? This is awkward as hell. The biggest awkwardness ever in all the awkward awkwardnesses. Have I already mentioned that this is awkward? Well, here we are in a stupid restaurant. (No offence, restie. And yeah, I have a nickname for restaurant. You gotta problem with that?) And everyone is quiet as fuck. Wait, how can fuck be quiet? ANYWAYS! I don't know where to look. We ordered and now everyone is just trying to act cool. It's funny when I look at it this way. I caused all of this shit. Oh no, now I'm going to randomly burst into laughter like an idiot which will destroy my image even more. If that shit is possible? Hold it. Hold it. Take a deep breath. Shit. I shouldn't have done that. Now, if I exhale, all of the air is going to burst out of me and I'll make a loud noice. But if I don't do that, I'll die. Oh, isn't that just lovely? Wait, I got an idea! I'll "accidentally" drop something under the table and then go for it. Once I'm under there, no one will hear me that well, so I can breath normally. Look at what this world has become! People can't even breath these days. I'm exaggerating, but still. Sounds cool! Anyways, let's get to the point. I started moving my hand around the table (probably already looking like a Grinch because of holding my breath for so long) and then "accidentally" like a pro dropped my spoon. Hope it didn't fall anywhere near Liam cause that would be awkward. Nope, red pants, which meant Louis. Actually, right between his legs. Hmm. I finally started breathing like a normal person and crawled over there. I was just about to take that spoon when Eleanor, sitting next to Louis, noticed me. With my head between his legs. Oh. I started getting up, but I just ended up with my head in his crotch. Uh-oh. I messed up. AGAIN.

Liam's  P.O.V.

Anna is holding a spoon! And everyone suddenly became really quiet while Eleanor looked furious. Aww, she's so sweet! We have just met and she's already being so protective- Oh. Hold on. She might be protective because Anna is between her boyfriend's legs? Yeah, probably. Silly me. But this is going to be quite a good show now. And I forgot to bring popcorn! "What the fuck are you doing?" said Eleanor. She wasn't yelling which is weird. Oh yes, we're in a restaurant. "Umm, I dropped this?" said Anna with a nervous smile. "Then why is your head still there?" asked Eleanor and pointed to Louis' crotch. I was sitting next to him, so I heard when he said "I don't mind it." And I think Eleanor heard it too because she gave him a deadly look. "Oh, I'm sorry." said Anna and started crawling back to her seat next to Niall who was laughing like an idiot. She slowly sat down and smiled nervously. Niall was still laughing so she punched him and started laughing too. I think it broke all the tension so we were all soon laughing. Oh. It was just me. And everyone was giving me weird looks. Oh well, yolo. Our meals finally arrived at that moment so the awkwardness dissapeared. For now, at least. Niall was right when he told me food could fix everything. 

Anna's P.O.V.

Ok, so I need to fix this immediately! Now or never, I thought as I got up and cleared my throat. It actually sounded like I was choking but never mind. "So, umm, I have something to say." I started. I still had no idea what am I gonna say though. I read all those advices to say what's on your heart and shit like that, but only thing I was currently thinking about was how delicious the food on my plate looked. Gosh, I need to stop. "First, I need to apologize to everyone." I said because that usually works in stories right? "I know this looks really wrong, but it's not how it looks actually." The fuck did I just say? Anyways, I need to continue fast so there won't be time for them to get confused. "Do you think you could give me another chance?" I looked to the girls and was just standing there waiting for an answer. Gosh, I hope they'll say something quick because I really want to eat that steak. "Of course." I heard Eleanor saying. "We were all nervous too." added Danielle. "And if you didn't do something awkward, it would probably be one of us." said Perrie. "So are we ok now?" I asked. "Yes!" they all said and I was relieved. I can finally eat my dinner peacefully! Wait, why are they all laughing? "I said that out loud didn't I?" I asked. They all nodded. I should really work on my self control. But food first.

Zoe's P.O.V.

After we ended our meals, we stayed there for a while just talking and laughing. And I must admit I had a great time. All the girls were really fun to be with and they suited the boys perfectly. But I couldn't wait for it to be over because I knew Harry had a surprise for me after dinner. And finally, that moment has come! We were all walking out of the restaurant, saying goodbye to each other and Harry and I headed to our car. "What is it?" I asked Harry probably for the thousandth time that night. He just smiled and answered the same thing as all the time "You'll have to wait and see." Ugh! Don't get me wrong, I love surprises, but not when you have to wait for them so long! We got into the car and headed somewhere. Yes, I don't know where because it's a mother fucking surprise! While we were driving who knows where I was playing all the possible scenes in my head. Maybe he bought me something? Or he's taking me to watch the stars with him? Oh, that would be so romantic! Or.. "We're here!" said Harry as we stopped in the woods in the middle of nowhere. Or he's a serial killer who brought me here to stab me and then throw me down the mountain so nobody will ever find my body?! Except that Horatio guy from the CSI. Wait, maybe I watched too many horror movies. Yeah. I walked out of the car and Harry covered my eyes with his hands. We started walking somewhere and soon we stopped. "You ready?" asked Harry. Did I hear a nervous tone in his voice? "Absolutely." I said squeaking like a fucking squirrel. Harry removed his hands and I opened my eyes to see the most beautiful thing ever. This was some sort of meadow surrounded by trees. But someone placed candles and roses all over the place. Well, obviously it was Harry, you fool. I didn't know he could be so romantic. He took my hand and we headed to the center of the meadow. He knelt down. Oh wonderful, he has to tie his shoe laces. That stopped the romantic moment. But hey, he took something out of his pocket. And he looked at me. And OH MY DEAR LORD AND ALL THE SAINTS, THAT'S A MOTHER FUCKING RING! "I know it's maybe too early, but I've never felt this way till now. And I want you to be with me for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?" I was so overwhelmed, but I somehow managed to say "Yes!" and then hugged him. This is the most beautif- "Wake up." I heard Harry saying. Umm, what? I opened my eyes and realized I'm in the car. That was a fucking dream! "You ready for your surprise?" he asked. Hey, but there's still a surprise? Well, now I'm curious as hell.
