Changing Mind

Chapter 16 - The Confession

"What's up?" I asked as I took a shotgun. "So un-ladylike." He playfully rolled his eyes.

I chuckled. I admitted that it feels awkward to talk with him alone after what happened between us.

He didn't change a bit.

He's just the same innocent Cruz that secretly dumped me before.

"So, how's your life now? I mean, yea, now your dream came through. Already found someone special?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

Do I?

"Nothing change actually. It just I meets new people almost everyday." I replied, ignoring his last question.

He hummed a song, nodding. "You do changed though. Damn, look at you now." He chuckled and winked at me.

"I don't think I change.." I trailed off as I checked out my outfit. Eleanor chose for me, but I do wears something like this sometimes.

I'm not that girl that lack of sense of fashion.

"You changed into a cheeky girl. You're not a talkative person. The time I saw your first interview, I couldn't believe it was you. You talks, you laughs." He said.

"You watch?" I shrieked.

"Not my fault, okay? YouTube recommends it for me." He said innocently, standing up for himself.

I laughed, "Shut it and feed me." I said as he parked his Range Rover.

We walked casually to the corner of the coffee shop, named, Coffeehouse, and took our seat.

The waiter came and took our order. "Spaghetti and blended cappuccino please." I ordered.

"Same but hot cappuccino." Cruz said.

"You still got that appetite." He teased as the waiter left.

I smirked, "I don't have any specific reason to diet, sir."

He laughed. "Oh ya, why did you called? I mean why did you want to meet me?" I asked as I played with the fork.

I have that bad habits; playing with weird things when I'm nervous. Like I say, weird things.

Yeah, fork is weird.

But the question is, why did I nervous? It's not like I never talk with him.

"Why do I need a reason to meet you?" He spontaneously shot at me.

I scrunched my nose. "After God's know how many years He separated us, you show up yesterday. And again, only God's know how did you got my number, and decided to called me, and asked me out for coffee and now? You brat!" I gasped for air after my not so long speech.

He chuckled, "I asked it from Brooklyn." He simply said.

Seriously, Brooklyn?

Brooklyn and I used to hang out every weekend after Cruz and I broke up. He keeps me update with Cruz's life.

"Thanks to him." I sarcastically said.

Soon later, the waiter came with our foods.

"I heard Chris will get married soon. Is it true?" He asked as he swirl the spaghetti with his fork.

I nodded, "Yeah, it'll be next Sunday. I'd love if you could come."

"Here or back in New York?"

"Of course in New York. I'll fly back to home tomorrow. I need to be there with dad." I told him.

"I'll try." He said.

"How's you and Rania?" I asked him after we finished our meal.

He avoided my gaze and cleared his throat. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Why?" I glanced at him. Just like Cruz, I don't actually want to talk about Rania but, a woman hold grunge, okay?

"We separated a long time ago." He said.

"Why?" I asked him. "I don't know. How bout you? Fancy someone?" He changed the subject as he wiggled his eyebrows.

I could see the pain in his eyes. I mean, I knew him for a quite long time. I know how he's happy, sad, lie.

"I do fancy someone. As you know, I'm Harry's girl." I sass.

He chuckled, "Be serious, okay?" I shrugged, "To be honest, yeah, I fancy Harry. He's Harry freaking Styles. How could no one dies for him? I know, deep inside, if you aren't straight, you might drool over his more than 2 nipples too." I winked.

He rolled his eyes, "You're disgusting. Eww. If I am a gay, as you say, I guess my victim will be Louis. And not Harry." He chuckled.

And there we go our random talk. Just like our old days.

.

"Thanks for today. I had fun." I sarcastically said and I waved him goodbye.

He chuckled and bid me goodbye before drove off.

Gosh, I miss us.

Wait, what? Rewind, please.

Gosh, I miss us.

Hell, no, I don't!

"How's your date?" Eleanor shocked me as I opened the door.

I could tell she was peeking at Cruz and I just now. "Great." I raised my eyebrow.

"Great?! What do you mean by great?! He doesn't kiss you good night!" She freaked.

"Ho, ho. What we have here?" Luke interrupted. I shrugged, "Ask that mad woman. She's freaking out because Cruz doesn't kiss me good night." I said before kissed Luke on cheek.

He made a face before broke into a laughter, "You guys are weird." I sighed and went to my room, leaving Luke laughing like a retard, and Eleanor freaking out.

"Hi, love." Harry greeted as I walked pass him.

Our room were 2 doors apart. "Hi," I smiled and gave a hugged. He kissed my cheek, "How's your date?" He asked, giving me a small smile.

"Good, I guess. Can we talk?" I asked. I guess this is the right time to confess. Because, I'll leave for New York tomorrow morning. I might don't have chance to meet him.

"Okay," he smiled and joined me in my room.

Wait a second. HARRY STYLES IN MY ROOM?!!! GIRLS, BE JEALOUS!!

"What is it?" He asked as he play with my teddy. I bit my lips, not sure how to start it.

"Err, I like you." I blurted. He chuckled, "No, no. I mean, I'm serious. I like you in three different way, I like you as a brother, I like you as a fan and popstar. And, I like you as you. I really do, Harry." I breath, closing my eyes.

I'm too scared to look at him. Not even peeking.

"I'm saying this because I'm scared I might not seeing you tomorrow. You're a heavy sleeper, for your own's sake. Harry, I, I like you." I spoke again.

He remain silent which is the last thing I need right now. Please say something.!!!

Wait up..if he's remain silent, that's mean..HARRY FUCKING STYLES IS REJECTING ME?! A HOT GIRL NAMED ALEXIS CASTLE FROM NEW YORK?! You gotta be kidding me, Harry.

I opened my eyes, just to take a peek at him. He was smiling?!

Shit, this guy is psycho. He's mad! I need 911, now!

"Can you stop smiling?" I awkwardly asked. He chuckled, "Sorry. But I can't help. It nice to hear that the girl I fancy all this time, actually, have the same feeling I feel towards her." He spoke.

Oh, that's the reason you..YOU, I WHAT?!

I widened my eyes. "What do you mean? I don't get it." I shuttered. Damn.

"I like you. I really mean it." He said, smiling cheekily at me.
