Harry's POV

After I'm back in my room, I flop down and start to think. Really think. It's been so long since someone's tried to look past my reputation and know me. Jamie claims to want nothing to do with me... So why am I sleeping at her house?

I groan in frustration and roll over to drift into a very restless sleep.

*Next Morning*

"Good morning, Sunshine!" I call to Jamie as she walks into the kitchen.

"I smelled bacon," she yawns, "Is there bacon?"

"Right over there," I point to the plate on the counter, "Sleep well? It's noon."

"Damn straight it's noon," she picks up a piece of bacon and starts nibbling on it. I slide a plate with eggs and pancakes over to her and she looks up at me in awe, "You cook?"

"It's not exactly a gourmet meal," I reply, "Hurry up and eat. We're getting a late start."

"No we're not. Whatever plans you made, cancel them. I'm in charge today."

"Oh... Well-"

"No well," she cuts me off, "just go grab your stuff and I'll meet you down here in fifteen.

"Yes ma'am." I kind of like the control thing. Most girls make the guy plan, which risks them being unhappy. Let them plan, guaranteed good time.

I look at her one last time before going upstairs to grab a shower.

Jamie's POV

After I'm sure Harry's upstairs and I hear the shower, I push myself up out of my seat and grab my plate. I slide the food into the trash can and drop my plate in the sink, then turn to run upstairs and get dressed.

I pick out an appropriate outfit or the day's activities: jean shorts and a v-neck. But I want to look good... So I brush my hair and put on a little bit of makeup. And... There. Perfect.

I walk out of my room after sixteen minutes, and sure enough, Harry's waiting by the door.

"You're late," he smirks.

"We don't have to be there until one thirty. Calm down."

"Where exactly is 'there'?" he questions.

"You'll see soon enough," I say as I lock the door and turn towards the cars, "Hop in, I'm driving."

Throughout the car ride, we pick up our game of Truth.

"Favorite Disney character?" he asks.

"Stitch. Princess is Ariel. But I love them all," I answer, "Best friend?"

"Easy, Niall. When did you meet Nathan and Ashton?"

"I was too young to remember. Our moms were friends so they used to arrange play dates and stuff. After... After Freshman year, a lot of my friends basically forgot I existed, but those two... I couldn't get rid of them if I tried," I genuinely smile at the truth of this statement, "Why did you date Alexis for so long?"

"She was who I was supposed to be with. I'm that guy in our grade and she's that girl. We got together at the end of Freshman year because she was hot and I was a Freshman boy so I basically had no judgement. Months went by, and it seemed good because as long as I played the perfect boyfriend... I uh.. got what I wanted. But then all of a sudden it was years and she basically got tired of me sleeping around and I got tired of her being... Her. So I called it quits."

I process this for a second. He must have thought he'd have freedom once they broke up. He could gather all the girls he wanted. That's why I'm not going to let him too far past my wall. Maybe I'll keep him as a friend, like I plan on doing with Niall.

"We're here," I declare as we pull into a driveway. I don't want to acknowledge his Alexis story so I just hop out of the car and wait for him to do the same.

"Where are we?" he asks with a look of confusion on his face.

"Just come on," I instruct him. Then, before I can change my mind, I grab his hand and take him where no one else has been before.

Notes

Oh... Did I mention that Ike has a third nipple? Uh-huh. That's a thing. I'm just sayin, ladies(; hahaha for the one person who's reading this that knows Ike, shhhh. Don't tell him the extent to which I'm promoting him. So, I basically expected this story to end up just me writing and like two people reading it, but wow! This is great! Thank you all so much.
