MORE THAN FRIENDS HUH?
CHAPTER 10: love after war
Gabby’s P.O.V
I watched the way he moved on stage, the way he lit up when his favorite part of a song come on or the way he played around with the guys. I saw the way his body language swayed with the music, how he got lost in the words. Sometimes I wonder if he thinks of me the way I think of him, I wonder do he ever point out my flawless features or do he not even care to look at me.
It’s been I believe 8 hours, since our little moment in his house he haven’t looked at me, touched me or even said hi. I don’t know why he’s mad I should be the one that’s mad! He’s the one who made his move! But I was the one who didn’t resist, so I guess were both in the wrong.
I was sitting in the back now of the stage behind the curtains waiting for the boys to come out so I can give them their water bottles and towels. Louis came then Niall, Liam, Zayn and Harry they all came and grab their things from me, I turned to look at Harry he was lost in a whole other universe so he didn’t notice me staring. The way that shirt crept up on his body. The way his smile lit up the room. How he speaks in a low husky voice. I bit my lip, my heartbeat turned erratic. I told myself to pull it together. I was not going down this path. Not with Harry.
I walked over and congratulated everyone on their successful concert. They thanked me graciously then headed for the bus. I stole a glimpse behind me to look at Harry. I was surprise to find Harry already watching me. He grinned.
My heart did an unexpected flip, startled by his bizarrely attractive smile. Due to happiness I was so taken aback, I dropped my phone it bounced a few times before actually landing. Before I could bend down to get it, it was in Harry’s hands.
I had to focus not to touch his skin as I took it back. “Why were you looking at me?” his eyebrows lifted in concern “I was making sure, that everybody was getting on the bus safely”
“No. No you weren’t” he rubbed a hand over his jaw, a calculating gesture I’d grown accustomed to in only a few short weeks of knowing him. “Were to”
He eased his way beside me. Sending waves of his perfectly scented cologne. “You were looking at me for a reason angel”
Whoa, wait a minute angel? I was okay with the word love. But now Angel? Well you know I kind of like it I mean, I’ve never been called that before. It’s kind of thrilling.
“I look everywhere. Everybody do its part of life. No can you get on the bus”
He looked at me for a while, staring at probably my imperfections. It made me kind of insecure. He raised his hand to my face, and brushed his thumb along one corner of my mouth. I pulled away, too late. He rubbed lip gloss between his thumb and forefinger. “You’d look better without it” he released his hands from my mouth returning it back to his side then climbed on the bus.

Harry’s P.O.V
I climbed on to the bus and sat on the couch, I flipped through the TV seeing if anything would catch my eye. Yes! Soccer, I lay back with a bag of Doritos next to me and watched the game.
I was shaken lightly; the coldness of the person hands to the touch of my warm skin woke me up. It was Zayn “Wake up sleepy head we’re back” I sat up rubbing my eyes and getting the crust out the corners. I bagged up the Doritos and placed it nicely where it belonged then exited the bus.
Our tour was starting in three days so we had to go and start packing to get a “head start” is what Simon said. I made my way upstairs catching a glimpse of Gabby she was taking the elevator so I hoped in it with her just before it closed. “Aye Gabby can I ask you a question?” I looked at her. She was curious to what I was going to ask her “Sure” she pressed the number of her floor on the button. “There’s a party on the west coast. I thought we could go” she didn’t answer for a while. I knew she was coming up with an excuse. “I’m not allowed to go out on weekdays” wow sassy! That makes me want her even more.
Time alone with Gabby would be intriguing, and dangerous. I wasn’t sure how exactly, but I was trusting my instincts on this one. She affected a yawn “Like I said I can’t go out on weekdays”
Right when I was going to open my mouth in protest, she added “If this party is something you’d be interested in, I can almost guarantee I won’t be………Why are you asking me anyways?”
Oh god, I wasn’t ready for this I was expecting a quick easy yes. It pretty arduous trying to get Gabby to go somewhere with me.
“A friend can ask another friend out right?”
She looked down at her feet. The door to the elevator opened. We both got off and walked down the hallway.
“I guess….so now you know why I can’t go to the party correct?”
“Because you’re not allowed to go out on weekdays or you’re just scared of being alone with me”
Before she could stick her key in the door, she turned around to face me. “I am totally not scared to be alone with you, obviously”
She pointed up and down the hallway. I leaned closer to her now, putting my forearm above her head and my other arm around her hips.
“Then prove it, tonight at the Nightfall Amusement Parks”
She moved closer to my face, she stood there not saying a word. I could tell she wanted to kiss me. I could feel the warmth on her lips on my mouth. I could smell her inviting minty breath; I got a shot smell of her perfume that was lingering on her neck. “Fine” she came closer, and leaned her face over to peck me on the cheek. I smiled as she walked in and closed the door. I stood there. I dropped my head looking at the ground now.
I put my forefinger and index finger up to my mouth. Tracing my lips, I removed my fingers and bit my lip. I missed my chance. I missed my chance to kiss her. I dropped my hands from the wall and started making my way back to my room. I should have kissed her.

Gabby’s P.O.V
I knew it! I knew he wasn’t mad at me! Thank you! Gosh I didn’t know what I would have done if he was mad at me. I walked in threw my phone on the table in the living room and sat on the couch. I gazed at the TV before turning it on, I bit my lip. I couldn’t believe I was this close to his face. I want more. Something about Harry was inviting, sexy and dangerous.
I wanted more. I knew what I was getting myself into I’m completely in love with that boy. But he will never know that because, were just friends. And our friend ship means way more than heart ache.
