Deception

This is so stupid. We haven't even been on a literal date. I don't know Harry at all; he could be an ex-con and I wouldn't know. It makes no sense for him to be mad at me for kissing Liam. And I don't know Liam either! Who have I turned into getting in all this mud with boys I don't even have a strong liking for.

Liam is very nice and I know his demeanor is very different from his personality, but it's hard to not judge. I've told him my whole life story because of some gut feeling telling me to. Maybe that's a sign? I don't think I could ever see myself with Liam besides friends. I think we'd make really good friends actually.

Harry on the other hand is aggressive and passionate and possessive. I don't know which of these things are good and which are bad. I can't stop thinking about him even when he's an ass I still find myself wondering what he'd be like if he was always as nice to me as he was that one night. Harry may be a jerk but when I dig deep enough, there's something more.

When we kiss my mind clouds and I want nothing more than to stay in that moment. When I kissed Liam it was only for comfort.

I walk back inside and see Liam standing in the doorway. "What was that all about?" He asks me as I step into the house again.

"I don't know." I say blankly. I think he wants me to apologize or say something about the kiss but I'm not in the mood.

"We should get out of here...you know what I mean?" Liam asks me. My heart stops and I look up at him to see if he's kidding.

"Are you fucking kidding me? After everything I just told you, you want me to sleep with a man again?" I'm appalled, here I am thinking Liam is sweet and different from others and then he practically invites me to sleep with him.

"Oh, thank God!" He smiles broadly and wraps an arm across my shoulders, "I was afraid you'd say yes. I had to make sure we were only friends. Just a friendly test." He smiles from the corner of his right side of his mouth. I playfully hit his arm and we walk into the kitchen. "I'll be back in a jiffy." Liam says and walks out of the kitchen. I wanted to make fun of him for using the word "jiffy" but he left too quickly.

I sit at the bar until someone hugs me from behind. I turn around to see Payton. "Hey, I haven't seen you this whole time!" I exclaim.

"Yeah, I've been with Louis." She bites her lip and looks in his direction and he looks back at her. Payton's cheeks instantly blush. "I'm gonna stay here longer but Liam said he'd drop you off at the dorms now."

Since when is Payton best buds with Liam? Where is he anyway? I've been waiting for thirty minutes. I push aside all my questions and respond with a simple, "okay."

After a quick drive Liam drops me off at the dorm. "Thanks for the lift Liam!"

"No biggy!" He says and rolls away. I shake my head at his weird way of articulating. I jog up the dorm stairs, slide my key in the door knob, twist, open the door, and fling my shoes off. I peel off the dress thankful for wearing spandex underneath so my thighs wouldn't rub together all night. I place my fingers on my bra clasp ready to unclasp it when a voice interrupts me.

"The show is quite nice but I know you don't like your specific audience member right now so I would suggest you hold on to getting completely undressed."

"Harry! Oh my gosh how'd you get in? You can't just come in my dorm without telling me! What happened to you being mad? And more importantly, why the hell are you here?" I practically shout. Is this a joke? I wait for the cameras to pop out, but they don't. I'm still undressed and pull the dress up to cover my butt before walking into the closet.
