You Should Be With Me (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 73: Attracted

"So how'd you end up in London? You said you're from here and your parents live here," Nick asked.

"Well I decided I wanted to get out of the town I grew up in. And I just wanted to get out of the U.S. I went to theater school over there."

"That's pretty cool. So that's how you meet the One Direction guys."

"Well, no. See they all went to the same school I did. We all graduated together, actually"

"Ah."

"Niall and Zayn I've known since elementary and middle school. And the rest of them I met in high school."

"Ah, high school. One of the most important four years in your life."

"Yea. Not exactly my favorite."

"Why's that?"

I mentioned to Nick all the drama that came with dating the hottest football star. I mentioned every bit of high school. He laughed at the funny and listened deeply at the heartbreaking parts. I left out the part where I dated Harry Styles.

As soon as we got up to leave, a star struck teenaged girl came up to me and asked for my autograph. I've had a few of those moments before the primer of Back To Then. Even a few times while shooting the movie. Yet, everytime it's always a surprise that they wanted my autograph. Me, Alannah Valerie O'Malley. Your average girl from Redondo Beach, California.

"Do you want a picture too?" I asked.

"Yes!" she squealed.

Nick offered to take the picture and she hugged us both.

"That was nice of you, to be up for a picture," he said.

"Well, had I been in her shoes, I would've wanted a picture."

"Yes, you do give that off. I nearly fangirled when I met you last night. I just didn't want to scare you away," he teased.

I playfully pushed him. He simply wrapped an arm around my shoulders and then grabbed my hand. I felt a warm tingly feeling. Since last night, when he'd hold my hand, I didn't mind. In fact, my heart raced. Something it hadn't done for an attractive guy for a few years.

He smiled down at me and I smiled back. There was something about Nick that attracted me to him. I couldn't put my finger on it. Maybe it was his killer hazel eyes and that heart stopping smile. Or maybe even his sexy rocker look he had going. Whatever it was, I sure hoped I would get to see more of it real soon.
