Chapter 22: Is it Kiss Me or Kiss You?

Jane’s POV

As we sat on the couch in the living room, I immediately took a pillow and hugged it. Somehow it made me feel less nervous, being alone in the same room with Harry. There was a brief silence, then Harry turned to me.

Harry: Jane, - (he began)

Suddenly I heard music blasting away. I clutched the pillow tighter and listened to the lyrics.

‘Oh I just wanna take you anywhere that you like,

We can go out any day any night,

Baby I’ll take you there, take you there,

Baby I’ll take you there, there’

(Why does this song sound so familiar? I thought)

‘Kiss you!’, I blurted out. Before I knew it, Harry leaned over and kissed me softly.

**************************************************************************

Harry’s POV

When we sat on the couch, I saw Jane reaching for the pillow and then hugging it.

(Oh man, I guess she’s still a bit nervous). I tried to think of a good topic to start with her.

(Guess I should start with the basics, like her hobbies and stuff). I stole a look at her. (She looked amazing, even more so now. I noticed she was wearing makeup. She doesn’t need to though, I thought. She’s beautiful just the way she is). I turned to her.

Me: Jane, - (I began)

I was cut off when I heard music. (Hey, wait a minute! This is our track! It’s the Kiss You track).

(This has to be Zayn’s idea). I felt my cheeks growing warm and was thinking of how to get back at Zayn when I heard Jane said ‘Kiss me’.

(Did I hear that right? Did she just give me the green light to kiss her?). I was surprised but leaned forward quickly and kissed her softly.

Liam’s POV

I saw Harry leaning forward and kissed Jane, on the lips. (Wow, does our song really have that effect on our fans? I wondered).

Zayn: ‘Ha! I knew it would work!,’ he said smirking at us.

Niall: ‘Maybe I should try playing this song the next time I see Lynndra’, he said dreamily.

Me: ‘Niall, don’t do it. Take it easy with her’, I cautioned him.

Niall: ‘But..but.. Look *points at Harry and Jane* it worked for them? Why not me?’, he said sulkily.

Louis: ‘You can cook?’, he reasoned with him.

Niall: ‘That’s true’.

******************************************************

Jane’s POV

I felt a sudden rush while kissing Harry. (Why is kissing me anyway? I wondered).

Oh wait. He must have thought I said ‘Kiss Me’ when I blurted out the song I heard. Where did that song come from anyway? I knew for certain it wasn’t a mobile ringtone; the music was way too loud.

I could feel butterflies in my stomach as Harry kissed me again. (He’s so gentle, I thought). I felt my cheeks growing warm as I slowly pulled away from him and looked at him.

**********************************************************

Harry’s POV

(Her lips are so soft). I thought she would push me away but she didn’t’, I thought happily. I kissed her again. I made a mental note to thank Zayn after sending Jane home. Actually, after I strangle him, I added.

I felt her slowly pulling away from me so I stopped kissing and looked at her. I studied her face carefully; she was blushing and had a few strands of hair over her face, covering her eyes.

*********************************************************

 Jane’s POV

He was looking at me intently and then he smiled. He leaned over and tucked the hair in front of my eyes behind my ear. (I could stare into his eyes forever, I thought). (Could I be falling for him?).

********************************************************

Harry’s POV

Well, so much for talking to know her better. (I can’t believe I just kissed her, but I’m glad I did!). I took her hand gently and held it.

Me: *blushing* ‘Well, that wasn’t planned,’ I said sheepishly.

Jane: ‘Er..yeah.. ’ she said blushing.

Me: ‘But I enjoyed it,’ (Ok, that sounded a bit weird).

Jane: ‘Er.. You’re welcome?’, she said with a nervous laugh.

I glanced quickly at the clock in the living room, ’10pm’.

 (It’s still early. Maybe I should take her for a walk? I bet if we walked out of the living room now, the lads would be there waiting for us).

Me: ‘Would you like to go for a walk Jane’?

*****************************************************

Jane’s POV

I felt myself blushing again slightly. 

 (He enjoyed the kiss? And why did I say welcome? I really am weird). I was about to say something when Harry interrupted me.

Harry: ‘Would you like to go for a walk Jane’?

I nodded and Harry help me to my feet and we headed out of the living room.

***************************************************

 Louis’s POV

I saw Harry and Jane walking towards us, I glanced at the lads.

Me: ‘Should we hide?’

Zayn: ‘Why? He’s not going to be mad at us. We got him a kiss after all’, he said laughing.

Niall: ‘Not so much Harry, but Jane might not have liked it’

Zayn: ‘Are you kidding? I saw her kiss him back! She likes him too,’ he argued.

Liam: ‘Shhh! Here they come now’

***************************************************************

Jane’s POV

As I walked out of the living room with Harry, I saw the other members of One Direction standing at the hallway.

(This is odd. Why are they all standing here? Did they see me kiss Harry?) I studied their faces. Niall and Liam wouldn’t meet my eyes, Louis was fiddling with his hands and Zayn looked like he was smirking at me. I felt my cheeks growing warm.

******************************************************************

Harry’s POV

Aha! I knew it, I thought as I saw the lads in the hallway. (They probably saw me kissing Jane. I’ll never hear the end of it).I glanced at Jane. Her cheeks seem to be turning a bright pink. I turned to Liam.

Me: ‘Hey Liam, could you tell Lonardo that I’m going for a walk with Jane?’

Liam: Sure thing, have fun!

I held Jane’s hand and went out the door and felt the gentle evening breeze greeting us
