Pride and Prejudice
Sleepless night
Charlotte's POV
After the big hug, we decided to spend the evening together at my place, since I’m alone and they haven’t been there for a while.
We are now at the supermarket, lost in the corridors. We don’t know what we will eat, but we don’t really care. It’s nothing but perfectly normal. We always need ages to decide what to order. Niall and Megane aren’t with us, since they decided to spend their first evening together. So we’re now 8, walking like zombies in the supermarket.
Suddenly, we hear someone shouting ‘MERRRRICO!’ I don’t know who shouted but I do know that this is someone from our group.
‘I guess this is Mexican food then? What do you think of fajitas?’ I ask to Harry, who’s by my side. When we arrived, we split in 4 different groups and before I could say anything, he grabbed my hand and led me away from the group. We started to mess around. Fortunately, this is nothing new with the guys, and they don’t care if they’re famous and have a reputation to maintain. They are the most immature kids on the planet sometimes! But they’re so amazing!
‘I don’t know, I’ll ask the others.’ I expected him to pick up his phone and call them. But he didn’t! Mr. Styles doesn’t act like everybody else! Instead, he shouts at the top of his lungs:
‘WHAT DO YOU THINK OF FAJITAS GUYS?!’ then he smiles at me, prouder than ever.
‘I LIKE IT! WE JOIN YOU, DON’T MOVE GUYS! EVERYBODY TO MEXICO!’ I recognize Louis' voice this time.
Few seconds later, everybody’s here, but Liam and Louis. I didn’t know they were in the same group. I thought they would have been with their girlfriends! That’s what Zayn and Perrie did! El notices my questioning look and answers my silent question:
‘I don’t want to be around him when we are at the supermarket. My 6-year old cousin is more mature than him then!’
‘But how do you do for your food? Are you the one shopping for the two of you?’ I ask her, quite curious to know how they handle this.
‘No, because he knows that I don’t like it, and since it’s just the two of us, he’s usually quieter. But when you’re around guys – I don’t blame anyone! – he just can’t help being rude and all. So I leave him before!’
‘Clever girl!’ I congratulate El as she greets me with a big smirk.
‘SUPERMAAAAAN!’ shouts Louis, who is in the Superman position – with his fist pointing to the sky and wearing his coat as a cape - lies on a shopping trolley that is pushed by Liam. We just can’t contain our laughs at this sight! They’re amazingly incredible! Who else could have done it?! I’m sure that nobody would have dared! They’re the only ones that could think about it!
But our fits of laughter are soon stopped by a security guy that asks us to be more polite.
‘Sir, I can assure you that we are nothing but polite. I parked my carriage and my horses in the closest field, instead of letting them poo on the pavement. I am a good citizen, am I not?’ says Harry with one of the most posh accent I’ve ever heard!
I bite my inner cheek not to laugh, but this is so hard when the security guy looks at Harry like he was a ghost! Then he leaves without a word, mumbling something really low. When he’s out of sight, we can finally let our laugh be, and it feels so good! My abs hurts so much, but this is the best pain ever!

We’re back at my apartment, cooking Mexican food. We turn up music, and sing at the songs that are broadcast at the radio. Once every 20 songs, we hear one of the boys, and they started acting during their own solos. The live the song at 100%! El and Dani capture this moment on their phone, so that we can show Megane and Niall. When there’s Niall’s solos, the boys stop everything they doing, and stand straight at a tree with dark faces. He seems to be dead! Louis even traces the cross with his fingers and says a solemn ‘Amen.’
**
This is almost midnight, we ate all the food we prepared, which was quite a lot, even for us! We could have fed an army! But it seems that we were hungry and there’s nothing left!
We are now on the couches, watching a movie that I don’t remember the name. This is an American comedy, but I don’t think it’s funny. Everybody’s asleep but me.
‘Do you think they’re sleeping?’ asks a rocky voice.
Harry’s awake too! I had my head on his shoulder; this is quite a miracle that I didn’t fell asleep earlier though! This is damn comfortable!
‘I think we’re the only ones left. El seems to be freezing…’
I get up and leave my comfortable spot to go and get blankets for my friends. I come back in the living room with several blankets and tuck them in with it. They seem to feel better, and so am I. I’m happier when my guests are feeling good at my home than when they’re cold!
‘Are you coming?’ Harry asks, standing in my bedroom doorway
‘Where do you want me to go?’ I stupidly ask.
‘In your bedroom! You seem exhausted, like if you hadn’t sleep during a full week.’
‘You’re not far from the truth though… Yeah I’m coming.’ I turn off every light before leaving the room and close the curtains so that they don’t have to face the daylight. When I think everything’s good, I get in my room where Harry’s standing full clothed by my bed. I get in the bathroom to wash my teeth and put my pajamas on, and when I come back, he hasn’t moved from an inch!
‘Go to bed little girl.’
I obey, and go under the blankets. I don’t want to leave this stop anymore! My bed is my new place of work, my new place of everything actually! This is so comfortable!
Harry tucks me in, kissed me on the forehead, says good night and heads to the door.
I quickly stand up and ask:
‘Where are you going, Harry?!’ I look at him surprised.
‘I’m going at my place, why? Where do you think I’m going?’ he looks at me with a are-you-stupid-or-what look.
‘Don’t be silly and come here. You won’t sleep alone there, while we’re all here. Furthermore, my bed is big enough for the two of us, and this isn’t the first time we share the same bed! C’m’on! Don’t be a big baby Styles!’
I used the first half of the bed, and try to fall asleep. I can feel the sheets that are lifted, and that he’s now lying next to me. He moves to me, and kisses me on the cheek.
‘Night Char.’
‘Good night Harry, sleep well’ I turn off the light and Morpheus takes me with her.
Harry’s POV
I’m awake by someone kicking me over and over again. Screams fill the room, and I’m afraid it’s coming from the girl next to me. I turn on the light as fast as I can, and I see her sweating, crying, and calling for someone. I shake her shoulders strongly, and she finally opens her teary eyes. She looks at me, and needs some time to realize that it was just a nightmare. Yet she knows it, she looks frightened my something.
‘Are you okay?’
‘Have you heard from my sister lately? Have I even heard from her?’
‘Yes, you called her while we were cooking the dinner. She’s fine, she’s at your dad’s, all your family was there tonight. Why?’
‘I don’t know’ I can tell she’s lying. She turns her back to me and I can hear her sobbing and breathing heavily.
‘Come here stubborn girl.’ I open my arm, and wat for her to come. She isn’t long to surrender and cries on my shoulder. I swiftly reach for the light button and turn it off.
‘Shhh… it’s over. It was just a bad dream. Your sister’s ok. She’s safe and sound.’
‘how do you know it? she may be alone, calling after me to come and save her. You’ve got no idea.’
‘True. But none of your parents called, so she’s fine. She’s certainly asleep right now, and you should be too. You’ll be exhausted tomorrow if you stay up all night. Go back to sleep, I’ll watch over you.’
‘Thanks Harry’ she kisses me on the cheek, and put her head on my shoulder. Soon, I’ll hear her peaceful sleeping breath, and I’ll be ok.
After the big hug, we decided to spend the evening together at my place, since I’m alone and they haven’t been there for a while.
