My Best Friends Brother
Chapter 9
Harry’s POV
My date with Adrienne was perfect. She was always so stable and constant in my life. She makes me feel so normal. And she isn’t afraid to laugh in my face when I have spinach in my tooth. I started laughing out loud at rehearsals for tonight’s show. I was eating and she looked at me and started laughing so hard she started crying.
“You don’t want spinach in your teeth while your plastered on People Magazine tomorrow, now do you?”
It was so blunt, she didn’t care, and I loved that. Of course the fans were tweeting us confused as to what was going on and Kendall was texting me. Like no. Can’t you see I’m not into you?
“Hey mate!” Luke stalked over to me like a man on a mission, and all I could think is this can’t be good.
“What’s up bro?” I asked casually.
“Adrienne is pretty slammin, eh? I was wondering if you could put in a good word for me? And maybe you, her, Kendall and I could double date?” He smirked like it was the most perfect plan ever.
The boys all heard this, looking at me warily wondering what my response would be. The 5SOS boys didn’t know about us, only Ashton did. But it didn’t take a rocket scientist to know that we were shagging on the down low. It’s so obvious. We can’t keep our eyes off of each other.
“That would be an awesome plan if I was with Kendall and not Adrienne.” I snapped back, showing who the boss really was in this conversation.
“What?” What didn’t he get about that?
“Adrienne is mine. That’s what.”
Niall’s jaw dropped and Zayn proudly smiled. Zayn was always one to be honest about feelings. He’s had a crush on Perrie for as long as I could remember. And they came out with their engagement right away. He doesn’t feel the need to hide how he feels. It’s pretty cool, I think I need to take a few pointers from my mate.
“Oh. Shit man, I’m sorry bro. Had no idea you had such a hottie on the side.” Luke was still talking and he was really pissing me off.
“Don’t talk about her like that.” I growled and walked away to join the boys. “Let’s take 5 so they can warm up.”
I walked off angrily and headed to my dressing room. I stopped dead in my tracks when I walked in on Adge lounging on the little loveseat in the room looking at the Midnight Memories album.
“Oh. This is awkward.” She blushed and chuckled lightly. “I didn’t think you’d be done so early. I was bored and figured I’d wait.”
“It’s fine babe.” I walked over and sat down next to her, she crawled onto my lap and just sat there silently.
“Are you okay, Harry?” She looked up, curiosity in her bright green eyes.
“Luke is obsessed with you and it pisses me off, so no I’m not okay.” I snapped. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to take it out on you.”
She turned her head that was on my shoulder and kissed my neck, soothing me. “It’s okay, just know that he’s got nothing on you baby.”
I smiled wide, at her and to myself. How the fuck did I get so lucky? Her being in the dressing room saved me from having a miserable rehearsal for the next 2 hours.
“Hey what are you looking at that for anyway?”
“Trying to figure out which songs you wrote about me.” She shrugged acting as if she owned the world.
Nope, just me. And my heart. And my feelings. And my body.
“Well what have you come up with so far?” Am I really about to confess my secrets? I guess so.
“For real!?” I nodded at her. “Okay well, I know about Little Black Dress. But why?”
“Oh I need explanations too?” I pretended to be annoyed.
Adrienne’s POV
“Gemma’s graduation. I hadn’t seen you in about 4 months and you walked in with that dress and I swear I went crazy. It fit you so perfectly. But it fit my floor better that night.” He smirked at me. “There’s just something about you in a little black dress.”
“Okay… my next guess is.. Don’t Forget Where You Belong?” I looked at him, wondering. “Right before you left for the states, I told you that.”
“And you are correct. It stuck with me. And then when you moved into your dorm at University, I thought of it again, but more directed toward you. I never wanted you to feel alone, and if you had my music, I thought it would ease you into it.”
“Harry.” I touched his cheek softly. “I’m in like with you.” I giggled at my choice of words.
It was too soon and we weren’t ready, but I cared for him. More than you can imagine. I felt like he needed to know.
“I’m in like with you too.” He chuckled at how ridiculous it sounded. “Where do you come up with these things?”
“Shut up and kiss me.”
And so he did. The album fell to the floor and Harry had me on my back on the tiny couch. He was hovering over me with his lips glued to my neck. Once he hit my sweet spot, I moaned loudly. Could we keep our hands off of each other? I don’t think it’s possible. I reached for the bottom of Harry’s shirt and started pulling it over his head.
“God, I love your tat-“
“Bro you cool-“ Zayn barged into the dressing room and stood still in shock. “Shit! I’m sorry guys!”
Harry and I looked at each other and laughed.
“No it’s cool man, we’re just bad at keeping our hands to ourselves.” Harry said to Zayn.
“Yeah and Harry is just bad at locking doors.” I joked with them.
“I was coming to check on ya, are ya cooled down?” Zayn asked him seriously. “I would have been pissed off too.”
“Yeah, I was cool, now I’m hot again.” He winked at me.
“Oh gosh this is already embarrassing enough Harry!”
“Don’t be embarrassed, love.” Zayn was so sweet, I can’t even. Lucky, lucky Perrie.
“Zayn! Haz! We’re getting ready to rehearse!” Niall ran into the room also. “A party? Why wasn’t I invited?” He frowned jokingly at us.
“Oh you boys. Go get on stage! I want to come watch.” I got up after them and followed them out.
“Good, maybe you can come up with the rest of the songs that are about the girl I’m in like with.”
“Such a sweet talker you are Mr. Styles.” I winked at him and he smacked my butt before he made his way on stage.
I sat in the front row and watched in awe. They’re so funny when they sing together. I feel like I’m watching a comedy. I found myself laughing hysterically for the next hour as they went crazy on stage. Man, I loved these boys.

Notes
I like the idea of Harry confessing his feelings about her through the album, and having her guess. Their friendship/relationship is open, afterall they've been friends for almost 15 years!
