[UNEDITED]

Two days has passed and Harry and I have been getting along much better than I expected. He brought me to a few nice dates and has been really trying hard but he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend yet. I know it wasn't supposed to bother me because maybe, he's just waiting for the right time but I can't help myself.

"Kylie?" My eyes snapped to Claire, waving her hands in front of my face. "I've been trying to get your attention for the last five minutes!"

"Oh. Uh, sorry?" I tell her and she just rolls her eyes. "How long was I...you know.."

"I dunno," she shrugs. "Anyway, Harry's texted you. Said he'll be picking you up for dinner at 7 so you better dress nice."

"You went through my messages?!" I asked in disbelief.

"Uh, I wouldn't have done that if you didn't take your mind to another universe!"

"I was just thinking." I sighed.

"Aw really? About what?" She asks, suddenly becoming interested.

I became a little annoyed because I feel like she's only asking because she wants to know or she's just curious, not because she cares.

"Nothing," I replied. "It's not like you care anyway."

"Of course I do! You're like my best friend, Ky. How could you not trust me?" She asked, disappointment showing just by the tone of her voice.

"Look, I'm sorry, okay? I just feel like you're just interested in hearing my problems and you don't care at all."

"It's fine, Kylie. But seriously, you can tell me anything, okay?"

"Fine," I say giving in. Claire squeals in excitement and sat straight on my bed. Yep, she's in my house right now, since it's Saturday and we both have nothing to do. "So, I've been thinking about Harry." I blushed, looking down on my lap while I fiddled with my hands.

"Oh my god! I knew it! Is that why you keep on zoning out on me?" She wiggled her eyebrows. Couldn't my face get any redder?

"It's just, he hasn't asked me yet." I sighed.

"Asked you what? To be his girlfriend?"

I nod. "And it's been like, two weeks of dating and I don't even know if he's still going to ask."

"Come on, Kylie. It's obvious that he really, really likes you! Maybe he's just waiting for the right moment, yeah?"

"You think so?"

Claire hums in response.

"Girls! It's time for dinner!" Mum yells from downstairs.

"Coming!" We both yelled back.

We got out of the bed and went straight to the dining room.

"Hey mum," I greet her, kissing her cheek then taking a seat beside Claire. "What'd you cook for dinner?"

"Just made pasta," she smiles. "Oh hello, Claire."

"Hello Mrs. Finn," Claire says returning the smile. "Where's Sam and Mr. Finn?"

"Well, Sam's staying in his dorm at uni and Clark will be home late."

"Oh, I see." Claire nods.

"So what are you girls waiting for? Dig in!"

"I swear, your mum cooks the best pasta!" Claire exclaims as we went back to my room.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it." I rolled my eyes. She's been saying that since we finished dinner.

We went back to my room to continue whatever we were talking about before mum called us for dinner.

"Soooo," Claire says, dragging out the 'o'. "Are you still worried about Harry?"

I thought for a moment and replied, "Uhm, if I'm being honest, I still am but not as much as I used to. Your reason kind of calmed me, y'know?"

Claire smiled and chuckled. "Well, I'm glad a could help."

After our talk, we watched movies and did the things we usually do. And when she looked at her phone to check the time, it was already late so she called her mum to ask for permission if she could stay the night and of course, her mum said yes.

"Well, it's like 1 or 2 am now! Wanna sleep?" Claire asks.

"Definitely," I reply, yawning. "Good night... or morning!"

"Same to you, Ky." Claire says, lightly chuckling.

It took me a few minutes to hear Claire's light snores and I couldn't help but drift into a peaceful sleep too.

The next day....

"Kylieeeee, wake up!" A voice close by whispered.

"Ugh, I'm trying to sleep here." I groaned, turning my head to the other side and taking a pillow to cover my ear.

"I know but we're going somewhere today!" Claire's enthusiastic voice boomed in my small-ish room.

"Oh my god, you're gonna be the death of me." I tell her, getting up from the bed and heading towards the bathroom.

Once I was done, all dressed up and ready, I went down to the living room where Claire is waiting.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Claire squeals excitedly, dragging me out and taking me to her car.
