Give Me Love

Chapter 6

**Natalie's POV**

Harry pulled up to Niall's driveway and parked the car. We were the first ones here so far.

"Still a stickler for being early," I commented.

Harry furrowed his eyebrows. "Why do you think I've changed?"

"I dunno, fame changes people sometimes. Not you though."

"I guess." His eyes dropped.

We got out the car and knocked on the door. It was November and pretty cold, snow was planned to fall this weekend. The winds nipped at my cheeks as I waited. Niall opened the door moments later with a chip hanging out his mouth. He gestured for us to come in while he chewed the chip.

"Glad you guys came, how's it goin'? Have you checked out Twitter yet?"

"No...why?" Harry asked, stripping his trench coat off and putting it inside the coat closet.

"Some pictures of you two got out and all the fans fuh-reaking." Niall explained.

He pulled up Twitter on his Mac and read the tweets from the fans that he followed.

" 'Isn't that his best friend Natasha or something?' 'What does this mean for Larry?' 'I think this is a publicity stunt from management'," Niall read.

Harry's eyes traced the screen, furrowing his eyebrows, then raising one.

"Am I getting hate already?" I asked.

Harry looked at me. "Don't worry about it," he said reassuringly.

"Yeah," Niall said. "Don't let the hate affect you, we all get a good amount of hate." He gave me a comforting side hug and I smiled.

"Thanks guys."

"Hey Harry do you mind going out to get an extra bag of barbecue crisps?" Niall asked.

"Sure, mate," Harry smiled and sauntered out the room.

That left me and Niall alone, but no biggy right?

He grabbed his laptop from the leg stool and set it on his lap. "How do you like going out with Harry so far?" Niall asked, scooting a bit closer to me. I didn't mind though.

"Well other than the fact that it's only been a couple days it's going well and I like it, so far." I answered honestly. My eyes flickered up to his face, his blue eyes fixed on the laptop screen. They suddenly glanced towards me which made me blush. Why was I blushing? Whatever. "So uh, what about you? Found anyone you're interested in yet?"

He stared at me, a sort of longing in his eyes, and bit his lip. "Uh, yeah. But I doubt she has any interest in me."

"Why?"

He thought about it and then shrugged. "Dunno. Um, we had a thing once but that's about it."

"Oh, well she should open her eyes and realize that you're a good dude and she's missing out," I offered. He smiled and then his gaze dropped down to my lips.

"Yeah," he whispered, leaning in. I followed. Our lips touched, then our hands. We kissed for a good 30 seconds before my senses came back to me and I pulled away.

"What the hell?!" I shouted, more at myself than Niall.

"I-I'm sorry. I lost control. You just looked so-- and then I-- please don't tell Harry," he sputtered. His face the shade of a tomato.

"I won't," I muttered. "He doesn't need to know."

Niall sighed and leaned back.

**Niall's POV**

Harry came back ten minutes after the 'incident' and we'd acted like it never happened.

He sat down next to Natalie, swung his arm over her shoulders and kissed her. I couldn't help but ooze jealousy. I looked away, why had I invited them anyway.

Harry and I played a bit of FIFA while Natalie cheered him on, feeding him chips, giving him encouragement kisses, whispering seductively in his ear. It got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore and almost broke the controller.

"You okay, Ni?" Harry asked, picking up the controller I'd angrily threw on the ground.

"Yeah," I answered.

"We've arrived!" Zayn yelled from the other side of the door.

I got up from the couch and opened the door.

Liam and Zayn came in wearing bunny hats. Why? I had no idea.

"Hey Nat, hey Haz!" Liam said, plopping himself on the floor.

"Hi," Natalie waved. She was so cute. Stop it Niall, she's totally off limits. Harry is your best friend, stop hitting on his girlfriend, you're disobeying bro code.

"What's the haps?" Zayn asked, sitting next to Liam.

"Who still says that?" Natalie laughed. "What's the haps?" she mimicked.

Zayn laughed along. "I do because I'm Zayn Malik and I can." He dramatically popped his collar.

"Oh, please," Natalie teased.

"Shush, Natalie. Zayn can say whatever he likes," Harry said.

Natalie put on an exaggerated surprised face. "Are you leaving me for Zayn?"

"Yup!"

"Fine. You're on my side right Niall?"

I looked up and blushed. "Haha, yeah. Team Natalie!" I tried.

Natalie gloated in Harry & Zayn's faces.

Then we all looked at Liam.

He looked up, noticing the sudden quiet. "What?"

"Whose side do you take? Mine or Zayn's?" Natalie asked.

"Eh...neither."

I laughed and focused back on the game.

Natalie thumped Liam on the back of her head and they began to fake wrestle. It was a fun night and before everyone left Natalie gave me a quick glance then held Harry's and walked out the door.

**Harry's POV**

I kissed Natalie's forehead as she snoozed on my lap. Louis called me and I slid the Answer button.

"Hey, boo," I smirked.

He chuckled. "Boo? Is Natalie around?"

I looked down at her as she let out a little snore. "Yeah, but she's asleep. I miss you."

"You just saw me a few days ago," he laughed lightly.

"I know," I groaned.

"When are you going to tell her?" He said in a serious tone.

"I... I don't know. I don't think I can."

He sighed.

"Lou..."

"Harry it hurts being a secret."

"I'm sorry, I'll tell her. Just not so soon."

"Bye."

I sighed and ran a hand through my curls. This was not going to be good.
