Since day one >> H.S

18. Tell him

~Aria~

"This is my daughter Aria, she will be taking over the company in a few months", I smiled at another person who I didn't know, while my mom introduced me to them.

I smiled sweetly, introducing myself again and shaking hands with them.

It was two weeks since Austin's outburst. I had made it clear to him that I was interested in him and not in Harry.

Ofcourse I lied. In the past two weeks I had accepted my feelings for harry. I wasn't in denial of it, but I didn't want to make a move either.

I was satisfied by the way things were at the moment. Austin loved me and had accepted me even with my fucked up past.

Maya and Rahul had left for their honeymoon. Maya's parents were really mad at her when she told them they had gotten married.

They never approved of Rahul and them marrying before finishing their studies just added fuel to the fire.

I walked back to the table and sat next Gigi. She looked at me and smiled.

I bumped into Gigi again just a few days before the party. We immediately hit it off and she even helped me pick out a dress for the party.

Even though we had known each other for a few days, she was aware of my feelings towards Harry. And not matter how much she persuaded me to tell harry, I did not budge.

I groaned while removing the six inch heels which I'd borrowed from Gigi. She insisted I wore even though I was taller than most them. She told me it made me look intimidating.

I looked around the room and saw Niall talking to my half sister Julia. At one point I saw niall smiling at her while she laughed her heart out.

Louis had brought Freddie and Brianna along with him. Freddie was honestly the cutest baby ever and was the exact replica of Louis.

I looked at Harry who was dancing with Kendall. He looked happy and content. Kendall was his plus one and no matter how much I hated to see him with her, I kept my mouth shut.

I felt a hand on my back and I looked around to see Austin. His eyes were on Harry, he must've caught me staring at him.

"Do you wanna dance?", I slowly asked him as he peeled his gaze off Harry.

"My pleasure", he smirked, taking my hand in his and leading us to the dance floor.

His hand settled on my waist and I encircled mine around his neck. We danced slowly while he kept on talking.

My mind was revolving around Harry and how he made me feel protected. I looked at Kendall who slowly pressed her lips against Harrys.

I looked at Harry praying that he pushes her off. But he didn't. He immediately responds to her.

When the finally broke, Harry looked at me.

I looked back at Austin and peel my hands off him. He looked surprised as I ran out of the huge room.

I couldn't control my tears as I ran into the garden. I sat on the stone bench and let it allowed out.

"Aria", I heard him call out. I recognise his voice immediately and turned around so he couldn't see my face.

"I understand if you don't wanna talk to me. I'll just leave", I could hear him walk away.

"Liam, no wait. I'm sorry it's not really the best time", he came back and sat next to me.

His hand went onto my back slowly massaging it as my head rested on his shoulder, still sobbing.

"I think you should just tell Harry about how you feel."

Hi guys! So first of all I have nothing against kendall. I think that she's a beautiful person.

Second of all don't come attacking me about Freddie and Brianna. Don't worry I'm a larrie too.

But at the time I started this book I didn't ship larry.

But I do believe that baby isn't fake and it is in fact Louis.

Also we are nearing 700 reads!! Wth! I legit had like 10.

Happy reading!
