Irresistible (Harry styles story/ fanfic)

Chapter 5 (part 2)

    The dismissing bell finally rang and I walked to Zayn's locker to wait for him.

I heard my name being called and Harry skidded up next to me and grabbed my arm pulling me out the school doors with him. We got outside and he was still holding my arm. "Ready to go?!" He asked. I smiled and nodded.

We started walking and I asked, "wait, Harry what about everyone else?" I had completely forgotten about everyone.. And Zayn. Woops... "They'll meet us there, they're so slow anyway!" He laughed.  

Harry and I walked farther along the road in kind of an awkward yet comforting silence.

"Hey this is totally random but, do you like Zayn?" Harry asked, awkwardly running his fingers through his beautiful curly hair.

"Why does everyone keep asking me this?!" I asked him, throwing my hands into the air. "Well, he kind of said you were cute and we all sort of assumed he liked you by the way he's been acting..." Harry explained to me. "Ohhh" I said.

"So do you like him?" Harry questioned me again. Harry was so full of questions today. "I mean he's a really nice guy but like I stil don't really know him, you know?" I explained.

"Yeah I totally get it. But I see what he means by saying you're cute.." Harry said smirking, making his dimple appear. Ah, that dimple. "Are you flirting with me Harry?" I joked and looked up at him. "Maaaaybe" he winked. I giggled. I chill went through my body and I saw Harry look at me.

"You cold?" he asked me, seeming concerned. "Uh, just a little... but I'm fine" I said smiling. Harry always seemed so caring.

"Here! Take my jacket, I'm not even cold," Harry said, removing his jacket. "Are you sure Harry?" I asked. "Yeah! It's fine" he said happily. He held out his jacket so I could wrap my body around it. He put it on my shoulders and I wrapped my arms around each side. I felt the warmth of his body still on the jacked and I could smell that cologn that I liked.

"Thank you" i said quiety. Harry and I soon enough arrived at the cafe.

We walked in and a waitress escorted us to a table with about 8 chairs around it. Harry and I took our seats next to eachother.

"Can I start you two off with a drink?" The woman asked. "Yes, I'll have a hot chocolate please" I said politely.

"Make that two." Harry held up two fingers.

I just remembered I had forgotten to check my phone after I got out of school, thoughts of Harry was all that filled my mind... I took it out of my bag and saw I had 3 new texts...

Unknown number: hey it's Zayn where are you? :) walk with me to cafe?? X

Mom: be home by 6. i have to take Emma out

And another from Zayn: Cassidy where are u? waiting by my locker for you :) 

"Shit!" i cursed.

"What?" Harry asked, removing his hot chocolate from his lips. "I completely forgot to wait for Zayn," I told him. "I hope he's not mad!"

"He'll be fine. He's with a bunch of other people" Harry said looking towards the door. 

"See, here they are now." Harry said, pointing a finger towards the door. I saw Liam, Louis, Eleanor Niall, and Zayn. Zayn walked into the cafe and right up to me.

"Why didn't you wait for me?" Zayn asked, playfully sticking out his bottom lip at me. "I'm so sorry! I forgot to check my phone and didn't get your text until about 2 minutes ago!" I explained to him. "It's fine" he said and sat down on the other side of me.

We all ordered foor and talked a lot. When our food came, we ate and soon enough, decided we'd start walking back home before it got too dark.

It was 5:30 already and the sky was turning an ugly shade of grey. We were all walking in a big group.

We got to Harry's house, it was closer than I expected but now, it was 5:45. Damn, I have to be home at 6, I thought. "Guys, I have to go home," I told the group. "oh, do you want me to walk you home?" Harry asked me, putting an arm around me. "Only if you want to" I looked up at him smiling. "Of course I want to" He said cutely. 

"Harry, it's okay, I'll walk her home," said Zayn. "we're practically neighbours anyway."

"That okay?" Harry asked me. I nodded. I kind of wanted Harry to walk me home but I guess it would make more sense if Zayn did.

"I'll see you tomorrow" Harry said, pulling me close to him. I hugged him tightly and burried my head into his body. "Bye babe" he said to me with a smile. I felt my cheeks blush. I'm sure they were already red from the cold air, though. I couldnt get those words out of my head. 'Bye babe'.

I turned to Zayn and we began walking to our houses. Both our hands were in our pockets, trying to fight off the cold. Our shoulders would touch every couple of steps. Zayn and I talked a bit. Soon enough, my house was in sight.

It  had to be somewhere around 35 degrees (farenheit) by now. When we got to the end of my driveway, Zayn stopped and stood in front of me.

"Thanks so much for walking home with me Zayn" I thanked him. "Anytime, really" he replied. "But before you go, can I ask you something real quick?" He asked, looking kind of nervous.

I nodded.

"We'll I like you... a lot and I'd really like to be with you and.." He started to say. Oh god. I wished he wasn't saying this. I barely knew him! I mean yeah we've talked a lot but literally this is the second day I've known him. "Do you wanna maybe go out with me?" Zayn asked shyly.

"Zayn...." I said sadly.

"We can take it slow! I just... I really like you" he explained. His cheeks blushed and I felt extremely bad for having to turn him down so soon.

"Zayn. I met you yesterday. Do you think we can get to know eachother better before we jump into this?" I asked slowly.

"Yeah! I'm sorry that was stupid of me!" He said. He wouldn't look me in the eyes after that.

"I'm really sorry" I said, hugging him. 

 "Well, I'll see ya" he said, and headed off to his house.

A rush of guilt came over me as I walked up my driveway. I entered my front door and headed straight up to my room. 

I fell onto my bed and caught a whiff of Harry's cologne. Oh yeah, I was wearing his jacket still. I  forgot to give it back to him. I took it off and held it up to my neck. Just thinking about Harry made me get butterflies.
