Attraction

f o r t y-o n e // jealous girlfriend

I closed the trunk of the car and sighed out heavily. "Okay done!" I blew out the strand of hair off my face and laid my hands on my hip.

"We are here for four days, not two months!"

I turned with my hands now gripping the rod of my suitcases, "I know. I panicked and overpacked! Don't judge." I narrowed my eyes at Evan who had just a bag slinged on his shoulder.

After a week of planning, finally we were on our way to the Lush Lodge. We left a hour ago and now had to board the train which would take us to a station and change trains to go catch the Holloway Express which went all the way up the mountain. The entire trip took up to five hours.

We walked towards the platform and met with the rest of the employees. I felt sweat trickle down my temple. "Aren't you guys feeling hot?" I asked to everyone who had couple of layers of clothing as me. They shrugged in union and Zayn said, "Better sweat rather than freeze up there."

The view from the platform was splendid. There was lush green grass and trees everywhere. Felt like a greenery heaven. The sun was shining brightly and warmly above us.

  There was the shrill sound of a whistle and we could hear the train. Every one walked toward the edge and waited to board the train. The train came into view as it turned around the corner. It had AC compartments as well as non AC compartments.

"Let's sit in the non ac area. Atleast we can see the scenery and feel the wind!" Perrie said moving her hands to emphasise her point. "No I'm sweating buckets now! The next train we'll go." Zayn said and dragged her hand ahead towards the AC compartment.

A few people followed those two and I was still in a dilemma on where to go. Evan had already got into to non ac compartments. I lifted one of my bags into the train as soon as the warning bell rang.

"Move what the hell is wrong with you?!" I yelled as I tugged harshly on the handle of my other bag. There was another whistle which signaled the train was ready to move.

I closed my eyes and lifted the suitcase with all my strenagth and just as the train began to move I felt the weight lighten and somehow was able to pick it up.

"Thank god!" I sighed and laid my back against the wall.

"Umm.. I'm not god but welcome?" A familiar voice spoke up.

I opened my eyes and saw Harry holding my suitcase in his hand. He was wearing a brown knitted sweater loosely tucked into his black jeans. He had a long overcoat and a scarf too. He looked mesmerising no going to lie.

"Hi! Thank you for you know .." I said pointing between him and my suitcases. He chuckled, pushing his hair back and bent down to pick his bag. It was a Louis Vuitton.    and he casually slung it on his shoulders and grabbed onto my bag.

"No.. I can .. it's okay I can take my own luggage. It's too heavy you don't have to pick it!" I rambled on and tried to move his hands away and grab the bag.

"Emily its fine. I'll take one bag how about that? I don't mind." I looked up and saw him with a smile tugged on his lips and he removed my hands off the bag and walked inside. I felt my heart flutter at his small gesture and followed him with my other small light bag which he left.

There were long seats which looked comfortable and had enough leg space. Both Styles and Zail did pay a lot for this trip, so probably we would get the best.

"Where do you want to seat? Where are the others?" He asked slightly turning his head back to face me. "One sec." I quickly took out my phone from my pocket and messaged Evan asking where he and the others were sitting.

"Uhhm.. they are in compartment four and this is.." I looked around and saw the compartment number at the top of the door which connected the different compartments. "This is ten."

He nodded and continued walking and I followed him. Suddenly the train gained speed and went uphill causing me to lose balance. There wasn't any thing to hold on and in order to not fall face front and held onto Harry falling on him.

"Ouff!" His eyes widened in panic and the extra weight. He grabbed the edge of the top shelf with one hand and the other wrapped around my waist to stabilise me.

"Are you okay?" I could feel his minty breath on my temple. I lifted my face off his chest and looked at him, "Yeah.. I'm good I'm fine!"

There were only a few inches in between us. My hands were on his shoulder and he eyes flickered between my eyes and lips for a few seconds before I pulled away.

Coughing, I pretended to dust off coat and fix the collar of my coat. I was a hundred and ten percent sure my cheeks were red as how much I was blushing.

"You'll always remain clumsy no matter what." Harry joked. I narrowed my eyes, "I'm not clumsy. It's not like I tripped or something."

He turned back to face me, amusement shining in his car like green eyes, "No no not your fault. Totally the trains. I mean what was it thinking right?"

I punched him playfully but that caused his smug look to grow and he laughed and continued walking. After a while we finally reached the fourth compartment.

"I thought you were left back at the station. Would have been fun without you." Niall joked as he saw Harry. Harry rolled his eyes and lifted the luggage to place it in the overhead shelf. My height was unfortunately not enough so I wasn't able to lift my heavy bag and shove it up. Harry chuckled at my helplessness and grabbed the bags out of my hand and placed them up.

He signaled me to walk in front of him and sit near the window. I squeezed my way and went and sat down on the seat.

"Now I know why you were late Emy." Natalie wiggles her eyebrows at me suggestively and laughed out loud as I showed her the finger.

Harry sat down next to me and removed his coat. "Aren't you feeling hot?" He asked the others.

"Aww such twins you both are!" Nat teased clapping her hands together in joy. I ignored her and faced backwards to talk to Evan. He had his headphones on and I pulled it out.

"The hell!?" He looked up shocked. He went to again put it back on but I snatched it out of his hands and hit him on his head. "Hey! What was that for?" He whined rubbing the spot I hit.

"For leaving me alone douche bag! You said this trip we would be together."

"Sorry?" He sent me an innocent smile and I sent him an equally innocent smile, "Buy me lunch." I sent him a kiss and plopped down on my seat. Harry was busy on his phone and our arms occasionally brushed against each other.

"Who you texting? Jane huh?" I playfully moved my shoulder against his. He turned to face me with a smile, "Yeah how did you know?" As soon as he said that my smile dropped. Four days I thought we could be Jane free but no!

"What are you guys talking about?"

He chuckled, "Careful there Em. You sound like a jealous girlfriend." I stared at him wide eyed and he had the audacity to wink at me. "Nothing much. She missed this train so will be catching the next one in the evening."

Damn it she was coming here too. Well this was the time I could speak with Harry without her here and I could enjoy until her absence lasts.
