I Thought I Knew You

Chapter 6

Avery's POV

"Do you think he's actually going to come and get me?" Addison asked.

I looked at the clock, and sighed. Just ten more minutes before our shifts are done, and Addison hasn't stopped talking about Niall. "I'm sure he'll be here."

"Yeah, I should stop freaking out.."

"That'd be ideal."

She glared. "Maybe Harry will come with him."

So that's how it's gonna be. I shrugged. "It's possible."

She gave me a look that said she doesn't believe I'm not internally freaking out. "I know you like Harry."

"Why do you keep pushing it?"

"I just want you to tell me the truth," she said, pulling one of her boots up, and then pulling her white shirt down.

"Fine, you want the truth?"

She nodded.

"I think I like Harry.."

"You think, or you know?"

"Think."

"How do you not know?"

"I mean.. I get butterflies when I think of him, and see him, and his smile makes me melt.. And that was the best date of my life."

"Have you talked to him lately?"

"We texted as soon as he left, all the way until midnight."

"Aww."

I blushed. "I don't know what to tell Harry."

"Well, it sounds like you like him a lot."

"So, should I tell him?"

"I don't know.. It's totally up to you."

"Hey guys," Josh said.

"Hi," we both said.

"Do you need one of us to stay until Max gets here?" Addison asked.

"No, I think I can handle it," he said, winking at her.

She looked at me, and then behind her. Yes, Niall was there and by the look on his face, he definitely saw the wink.

"Hey, I'm Niall," he said, walking over to Josh.

"Um, hi?"

"I'm Addison's boyfriend."

My jaw dropped and so did Addison's, but I quickly closed mine and bit my lip to keep from laughing.

"Oh, I didn't know she had a boyfriend."

"Oh yeah! For a couple weeks now, right babe?"

"Uh, yeah," she agreed.

I bit my lip harder and turned away.

"So, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't flirt with her."

"Yeah, no problem. I'm sorry, I really didn't know she had a boyfriend."

"It's fine." He gave Josh a smile, then turned around and put his arm around Addison's waist, his hand dangerously low on her hip. "Ready?"

She nodded, too stunned to say anything. I waved to Max as we walked out, and went on the other side of Addison. His hand still in the same spot and Addison had her hands over her face, so I suspect the hand on her hip was more of a way to guide her than it was for possessiveness.

"Was that really necessary?" she mumbled from behind her hands.

"Yes."

"But we're not actually dating, and-"
