Waiting for You (1D)

(Oceana’s POV)

Well, thanks Georgia. Thanks for going to casually talk to Niall, Liam and Zayn; leaving me awkwardly standing next to you. Louis was talking to Harry.

I looked Harry thinking how amazing he was. He then looked at me. I didn’t know what else to do but smile.

I saw Louis pat him on the shoulder before they both came over to us. Louis joined in the main conversation that was going on.

I couldn’t even pretend I knew what they were talking about. I was jealous of how cool and collected Georgia was. I looked at my hands. I tried to keep them still, but they kept shaking.

It was then that Harry came up to me. He actually came up to me instead of joining the main conversation.

“Hi Oceana”

he said. I avoided eye contact with him.

“Hi”

I managed to reply. I could tell he’d noticed I was shaking a little, because he asked me if I was ok. I told him I was nervous. I wasn’t lying. I was nervous, but probably not for the reasons he thought.

“Don’t be! We are going to have an awesome day I promise! A day with One Direction will be a day to remember!” he said with a huge smile. He looked so cute.

Sure, what he just said was kinda stupid, but coming from him, I didn’t are.

“Yeah, I bet it will be” I felt that was a really stupid response.

Awkward turtle awkward turtle.

Before I could say anything else, I felt arms wrap around me. Harry Styles was hugging me. Harry freakin Styles was hugging me. By choice. Without any input or suggestion from me. Oh my God. I hugged him back. I was shivering like I was standing outside in the middle of winter.

“Feel any better now?” he asked quietly. He must have felt me shaking, as he hugged me tighter.

“Much better thanks” I said before we broke away. That is when I made the stupid mistake of making eye contact. I could practically feel my pupils dilating. I hoped he wouldn’t notice, or at least if he did, I hoped he didn’t know what it meant.

Sure, they know I love them. I had made it kinda obvious. But what I hadn’t made obvious, was how much I loved Harry. Now I loved him even more. How was that even possible. I guess you can never have enough love.

He stared right into my eyes. “You’re eyes are blue” he said staring into them.

“Oh, and there was me, thinking they were indigo”.

Yes, I am sarcastic. Very. Another thing my mum complains about.

I hoped it didn’t come across as rude. There were too many things and emotions running through my body, that I just blurted it out without thinking. To my relief, Harry laughed it off.

“Yes, they are blue! Just like the ocean!” he said slowly, pretending to be surprised.

“They are beautiful” he said very quietly looking at the ground, just loud enough for me to hear. He suddenly looked awkward, so I pretended I hadn’t heard him, and continued the conversation.

“Haha, Oceana with ocean eyes” I said laughing a little. Harry laughed a little too.

“I wonder what my name would be if I had brown eyes?” I said, looking up and rubbing my chin, pretending to be in deep thought.

“Poop” Georgia butted in. Harry burst out laughing.

“Shut up” I said, playfully hitting her.

“I’d call you Emerald, because your eyes are like diamonds, only green. Actually, a flawless emerald is worth more than a flawless diamond”

I cannot believe I just said that. I couldn’t see Harry’s reaction to that, as Georgia pulled me away.

But hold up: Harry said my eyes were beautiful. Harry Styles, the guy I was head over heels with said I have beautiful eyes? Oh, don’t mind me, I am just digging my own grave, because that killed me. Oh wow.

Wait. He doesn’t know how old I am. I am 13 (well, closer to 14) but I could pass for 16 at the most, 15 easily. Well, I shan’t be burying myself in that grave, no no, I shall be burying all the amazing thoughts I had just had of being with him.

Let the day begin.
