“Nothing.” Harry said, dropping me onto my feet.
I scurried over to Liam who stood in front of me protectively.
“Destiny… WHAT.” Niall raised his voice, but stopped and took a deep breath, then said more calmly, “Were you doing?”
I was relieved when Liam jumped in.
“We’re playing a game doofus.”
As the words came out of his mouth, he stepped aside and nudged Zayn.
“Y-Yeah. That’s right, we are playing a game.” He smiled looking at Liam.
Then, he started to run around the island of the table. Liam obviously picked up his drift, and started chasing him.
I looked over at Niall to see if he looked less… angry.
I was happy to see a smirk on his face.
“Well, I’m glad to hear that you’re having fun.” He smiled, but gave Harry a quick, stern look. “You ARE my little sister… I wouldn’t expect you to be doing anything else…” He paused, then brightened. “Well, I have to get back to the game, and Lou. I can’t trust him alone with the food.” And at that, he left.
I let out a sigh of relief.
“Gee, I really saved your ass didn’t I?” Liam smiled.
“You sure did. I owe you one.” I looked at him thankfully.
“This ones on me.” He winked.
“Look, I’m sorry Destiny. That was my fault.” Harry looked at me, then down at the ground.
“Harry, you’re a baby. It’s fine, it was heaps fun!” I smiled at him.
He smirked.
While Liam, Zayn, Harry and I sat in the kitchen, chatting and drinking Dr. Pepper, Louis and Niall and finished watching the game. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and then Clara appeared at the kitchen door.
“Geez, your brother is a control freak. We were half way through 127 hours, and he said it was boring, so he flicked to the footy. I got bored and went upstairs.”
That explained why Clara had disappeared when I went into the lounge-room.
After the game had finished, Niall and Louis came into the kitchen and sat down at the table to eat the meal Clara had just cooked.
I finally felt like I fitted in. Sitting at the table with my big brother, basically 3 other big brothers now, a mother figure that I so dearly missed, and a potential boyfriend, it just felt so… right.
I found myself thinking less about mom and dad, not that I wouldn’t think about them at least three times a day, laughing more, and just simply enjoying life a lot more than a few weeks ago, when I had nobody. When I thought I was all alone. But now, that’s all changed.
After dinner, I went up and had a shower, braided my hair, and got in my pyjamas.
When I came back downstairs, everyone was in the lounge-room eating ice-cream.
“What?! Where’s mine?” I asked, standing at the entry of the room.
“Shit. I told you to save some Louis!” Niall croaked.
“Oops.” Louis said through a mouthful of creamy ice-cream.
I frowned at him.
“Nice to know you think about me Lou.”
“I’m really sorry, it’s just so good.” He swallowed.
“I’ll share.” Harry suddenly perked up.
“Really?!” I brightened.
“Sure.” He smiled and patted the spare spot next to him.
“I’ll go get a spoon.” I kind of half asked, half demanded.
“What? Do I have cooties or something?” Harry pretended to look offended.
“W-Well, I just thought-“ I stopped. “Okay!” I finished, and walked over, and sat down next to Harry.
I looked over at Niall. I smiled. He had his arm around Clara, and they were eating their ice-cream and laughing.
“Some?” Harry looked at me, holding the spoonful of ice-cream above the bowl.
Instead of saying yes and taking the spoon, I opened my mouth.
Harry laughed and put the spoon in my mouth.
The creamy goodness exploded on my tastebuds, and before I could think about it I let out an ‘mmmh’.
“Is that good?” Harry asked me, smirking.
I nodded happily.
After sharing ice-cream with Harry and everyone had finished, we all kicked back and watched Elementary, one of the greatest shows I’d ever watched.
Next thing I knew, I was being carried up the stairs. I squinted, and rubbed my eyes.
“You fell asleep.” Harry said, looking at me.
I smiled a small smile, than closed my eyes again. When I opened them next, I was laying on my bed. Clara was there too, and she closed my window, but left the blinds open so the moonlight could stream in. My light was off.
“Goodnight precious.” She smiled, than walked out of my room.
Harry had laid my down on my bed, and now he was sitting on the edge of it, looking at me.
“What is it?” I asked sleepily.
“It’s nothing.” He sighed.
“Yes it is. You’re looking at me funny.” I said, my eye lids fighting to stay open.
“It’s just-“ Harry stopped, took a breath and got up off the bed. He walked over to the door, and turned around, leaning slightly on the side of the door pane. “You’re beautiful Destiny.” He said, shoving his hands into his tight, black jeans and looking down at his white converse.
“But, I’m in my pyjamas.” I giggled tiredly.
Harry let out a small puff of air, you know, like a little laugh.
He looked up and smiled at me. Then, he straightened, but keeping his hands in his pockets, turned and walked away.
I rolled over to look out my window.
I remember muttering one thing before I fell asleep and I didn’t regret it, or freak out when I let it slip out of my lips.
Goodnight Harry… I love you.
