Chocolate ♡ The 1975/One Direction/5 Seconds of Summer

Chapter Thirteen

Steph's POV

Luke had to leave yesterday afternoon, to start his tour. But I stayed back, with Kat. 

What she doesn't know, is that this is all part of Harry's plan. 

We all know who 'Victoria" is. She's Harry's cousin. She makes jewellery or something, I'm not sure. 

Kat is so grateful that I stayed with her, that she's baked me something everyday. Brownies, which Luke and I finished before he left, Cupcakes, Cheesecake, you name it. She's made it. 

Of course I feel bad for her, I mean, who wouldn't want to go and murder their boyfriend who 'cheated'? I know I probably would. 

This has been a learning curve for Harry. He knows now how she would react if he did cheat. And I know she'd never go back to him. Ever. 

That's the thing about Kat. She's never anyone's second choice. Never sloppy seconds. 

I'm a year younger, more naive. I jump at the chance of a cute boy 'wanting' me. Kat's good like that, she pulls me away. 

Harper does too. She's the same as Kat. They're only a few weeks apart for their birthdays. I'm like a year behind. I remember them being both 18, and they wanted me to go to a club with them. There was absolutely no chance I would get in, so I waited at home, and when they got home, drunk out of their minds, I put them both to bed. 

I guess that's the good thing about being younger. Community is my favourite ever show. I find that I'm very similar to Troy. And Kat and Harper are my Jeff and Abed.

I snap out of my thoughts while Kat places a plate down in front of me. 

"Devils Food Cake." She smiles, wiping some chocolate frosting off her cheek. 

"Katniss, can you calm down and stop trying to make me fat?"

Kat sits across from me, resting her head on her hand. 

"Sorry. But I don't know what to do. I used to have my whole day planned out with Harry- Now I just sit around doing nothing."

I squint at her. "Erm, Kat. That's exactly what you did with Harper and I before Harry. We literally haven't seen 10 minutes of you since you met him. Maybe this is good. Maybe you guys need a break before you get sick of each other."

She shrugs. "Maybe, I'm not sure."

"Listen, Harper and I have a surprise for you. She told me I should blindfold you but I'm not doing that shit. Just go and pack a suitcase for a week stay in a hot place."

"Fuck off, I'm not doing this surprise shit."

"Erm, well, you are. So shut up before I leave you here alone, gosh." 

She rolls her eyes, walking up to her room. I move to the kitchen and call Luke. 

"So, she's coming?"

"Yeah. Hopefully this all works out and she doesn't bash him when she sees him."

"I'm sure she won't. Are you still coming to California with me on Tuesday?"

"Of course. That's if this all works out. But I'm trying my best."

"Good. I must go, but I shall speak to ya soon babe. Ilyz." 

I laugh. "Ilyz Luke. Say Hi to Lucas for me."

"He misses you." 

The call ends and I smile. Now to call Harper. 

"Ciao!" She answers. "Hows ma Stepho?" 

"Ciao Sir! I'm fabu but more importantly how is Matty and how are you?"

"Thank you for adding that on. I, too, am fabulous. Matty is being a wanker and not coming to Ha-wee-wee. But I let him off."

"What a dick!" I joke. "Luke and I are only going until Tuesday anyway."

"Erm, ew. You're leaving me with the lovebirds for a week?"

"You complete idiot, I told you to book tickets until Tuesday."

She sighs, and I laugh. "I'm sure the airline will let you move the date. Just say your grandma is dying and they should do it."

"Thanks for the magnificent advice, weirdo." She says, laughing. "So is Harry proposing or?"

"Proposing?!"
