His Bandmate

“He was so fucking hot, the kissing was amazing and I can't believe how big he was. Ah! I could have gone down on him so many times.” I cringe as Lea talks about the guy she met last night. She had her way with words and she was not afraid to use them. I loved this girl with all my heart, but she was a little slutty. She even admits it herself. I think she has been heartbroken at a time before I met her, but it's nothing she likes to talk about. So I try to be supportive and let her vent when she needs to. Often she talk about how much she regrets it, but this time it's apparently about how great it was. I like the change, but I'm not really interested in the details.

Instead I think back to the kiss Harry and I shared and I smile. I feel my face flush from the thought, it was very intimate and nice on my living room floor. He called me last night and we talked for a good twenty minutes. He is so easy to talk to, even more when I don't see him and get that nervous. He can't even see my blushes through the phone, though it feels sometimes like he knows anyway. Tonight we're going on our second date. No, wait. Third? Does Wednesday count as a date? We did kiss, so...yes? Yeah, it's our third date then.

“Hey? Are you listening to me?” I hear Lea ask, waving her arms at me and I look up at her.

“No, I stopped listening when you started talking about a guy's dick.” I say and smile at the customer who looked awkwardly my way. Oops!

“You are the worst friend ever!” She whine.

“No, I'm the best friend ever since I let you talk dicks all the time.” I say, whispering the word dicks. She starts to laugh.

“Yeah, that's true. You are the best friend.” She say and hug me. “So talking about dicks...how is Harry's?” She say with a huge grin. “Ow!” She say as I hit her arm.

“I don't know, I haven't seen it.” I say a little offended.

“But, why? Didn't you say you made out on your living room floor?” She ask a little perplexed.

“We kissed, yes. But I'm not a slut like you.” I say push her a little, making her snicker.

“That is true! You're way too innocent.” She say and go over to the cash register as a customer comes forward. I shake my head and continue to stir the batter that I'm going to make cookies from.


“So you think you will do it tonight?” Lea ask as she comes over to stand beside me after taking care of a customer. I don't know why I'm shocked by her question, it's Lea we're talking about. The only thing she's thinking about is sex.

“I have no idea, we're going out to dinner. I haven't planned further than that.” I say a little irritated. It get's me a little nervous though, would he expect us to? Isn't the third date like an unwritten rule or something? I feel my gut clench at the thought, the last time I had sex was with that nameless guy. It's a totally different story when you're dating someone. When I was with nameless guy I didn't care of what he thought of me, I took what I wanted. Urk! Maybe I should cancel tonight?


I felt nervous all day and regret not calling and canceling as I stand in the shower after work. I'm not made for this, dating, it's not really my thing. I'm too tense and nervous to be good at it. I put on a pair of leggings and a black dress, I let my hair fall freely and put on light with makeup. I don't want to dress up too much, but put on black lanced underwear just in case. I feel my heart beat hard in my chest as the doorbell rings. I take a deep breath before opening the door to a smiling Harry. His smile is too infectious, so I can't keep from returning his smile.

“Hi.” I say, feeling my cheeks flush a little, as usual.

“Hello Juli.” He say and walk closer to give me a kiss on the cheek, making me turn tomato-red all over. I turn around, hiding my face and getting my jacket on as my face goes back to semi-normal. He waits outside the door as I lock it and turn towards him as I'm ready.

“Where to?” I ask as we walk out into the cold air. He stops as we get down from the steps on the curb.

“You get to choose, either that French restaurant two blocks that way.” He say and point down the street. “Or a great mexican place I know.” He say with a smile and waits for me to decide, tilting his head very cute to the side.

“Mexican.” I say and his smile widens.

“Great!” He walks towards his car that's standing beside the curb, opening up the car and holds the door open for me. I walk over and hop in the car, smiling as I put my seatbelt on. I haven't ridden in his car before, it's nice. There's maybe a little too much controls on the dashboard for my taste, but that's probably because I wouldn't understand how to turn the radio on. Harry gets in and starts the car and it makes a low purr. The stereo turns on and a soft, slow song starts.

“What is this?” I ask, nodding towards the radio. The music starts up and I nod with the music.

“It's The Lumineers.” He say and smile over at me before looking back at the road.

“It's so nice.” I say and listen to the amazing voice of the singer. I sneak a peak at Harry who smile as he drives. He turns the volume up as a quick tempo song comes on and I dig with the music. Harry sings to the music and I smile as I watch him from the passenger seat. I can't hear him that well, but enough to hear that he has a lovely voice.

After about fifteen minutes, we stop in front of a building and get out. I see the word Comida on a sign above a door. The place barely looks like a restaurant, more like a shop or something from the outside. But as soon as we go inside we get welcomed by heat and amazing smells. The place is filled with colored fabric and all the tables are low with cushions on the floor. I smile as I see that, reminded of Wednesday. We get directed to a corner in the restaurant and I sit down on a big pink and purple pillow, sitting with my legs crossed. Every table is surrounded and enclosed with fabric, making it very intimate and romantic. Harry sits down beside me and his legs looks so long when they sprawl out over the floor. I snicker a little as he finds a comfortable position.

“What?” He ask with a grin.

“You just look out of your element.” I say with a smile. He doesn't fit in here with his black tight jeans and black and brown plaided shirt. He does look very handsome though and the dimples on his cheek is very distracting.

“What? I thought I fitted in just perfect.” He chuckles and holds up a plaid pillow towards his stomach. “See, you don't even see me in here.” He holds the pillow up and does a peek a-boo thing.

“You're so weird.” I say and he hits me lightly with the pillow, making me laugh as the waiter comes to our table. I try to hold my laughter back as he takes our drink orders. As soon as he leaves, Harry hits me with the pillow again and I burst into laughter, holding my stomach. I see other customers look our way through the fabric hanging between us. I close my mouth, trying to be quiet.

“We're getting evil eyes.” I say low to Harry and he frowns.

“From who?” He whispers, looking around serious, making me smile.

“The lady by the window.” I whisper back. He stretch a little to be able to look towards the windows and then leans down again, coming closer to me.

“I think she hates us.” He say and I snicker. He's pretty close by now, leaning on his arm that's against the floor just beside me. His eyes goes from joking to serious in a heartbeat. I feel my stomach flutter as he leans closer to give me a soft kiss of the lips. As he leans away we get interrupted by the water with our drinks. Harry orders several dishes for us to share and I smile as I see him pick out the ones we're having.

As the food comes I feel my stomach rumble with hunger and the smell is so good, it tickles my nostrils. Harry picks up an olive and feed it to me. I take it between my teeth with a snicker.

“Are we doing this?” I ask, raising my eyebrows. I've never had someone feed me food before, it's actually sweet. We have seven plates in front of us with different finger food. Harry shrugs and chuckles, so I pick up a chip with some stuff on it and hold it out to him. He smiles at me before taking a hold of my wrist as he opens his mouth and takes the whole chip in, sucking a little on my fingers afterwards. I snicker more and dry my hand off on the napkin.

“So what are your plans for the weekend?” He ask as we've stopped feeding each other and almost all the food is eaten. I take a sip from the beer Harry insisted that I would drink, maybe he wants me tipsy tonight? Hmm...

“I don't know really, no big plans. I have the day off tomorrow, so that will be nice. Hopefully it will be nice out so I can be outside.” I say and smile at him. “How about you? Big plans?” He chuckles and sit up straighter.

“No, not at all.” He runs a hand through his hair. “Maybe we can do something if your free tomorrow?” He ask with a flirtatious smile, his green eyes sparkling under his lashes. I think he could make anyone do anything he wants with those eyes.

“Yeah, maybe.” I say a little cocky trying to sound very important and busy. “Give me a ring and I'll see if I can squeeze you in.” I flip my hair and he shakes his head, making his curls sway, and laugh.

“Hey, would you like to come with me to meet the lads?” He ask after he payed the waiter, I actually offered to pay, but of course he got offended by that.

“You mean now?” I ask a little surprised.

“Yeah, their just hanging at Liam's.” He say and sound like that's a given fact. Wow, meeting the lads, that was a big thing. Almost like meeting the parents, but honestly I think this is bigger, if they wouldn't like me then I'm screwed. I look into those eyes again and of course I can't say no to them.

“Sure.” I say a little uncertain. All of a sudden I got very nervous. As we go to the car I feel myself starting to sweat. I'm not good with meeting new people, not in a group. One on one is my thing. Harry opens my door, but hold his arm out so that I can't get in.

“It's going to be fine, they will love you.” He say and leans down to give me a peck on the lips. I smile up at him and feel a little better as I jump into the car. The drive wasn't far at all, only a couple of minutes until we stop outside a big complex. I look up at the big house as Harry opens my door and feel my stomach turn. Am I really ready for this? What if they won't like me? What will I even say to them? Aren't they like super famous? What does that matter, Juli? You're dating Harry, he's super famous – idiot! I sigh at myself.

As we get into the foyer of the apartment complex, my eyes get big. It's huge! The floor is marble and there's pillar holding up the roof, far up there. Harry didn't fit in at that restaurant, but I sure does not fit in here. Harry takes my hand, giving me butterflies, and leads me toward the elevator. He presses top floor and we ride up in silence. I take a deep breath as the elevator stops and the doors open to a corridor with three doors. I'm so nervous. I'm thankful though that Harry forced that beer in me, it takes the edge away. I still haven't seen anything the guys has done, so I don't know what the other guys look like, but Lea says that they are all very cute. Not that, that matter right now. Harry knocks on the door and I feel my heavy breathing as he strokes my hand with his thumb as the door open up and a sweet looking guy stands there with a smile.

“Hey, you came!” He say and pats Harry's shoulder. “And you must be Juli, we've heard a lot about you.” He say and give me a sweet smile. He has brown hair that's shorter on the side and a little puffy on top.

“Hi. Nice to meet you.” I say and grin back at him. Harry has been talking about me? I smile up at Harry.

“This is Liam.” He say and point towards the guy. I nod and Liam stands to the side and lets us in.

“Ey, Haz is here.” Another guy, this one darker, say as he comes out of a door in the little hallway. He too pats Harry's shoulder before turning towards me.

“Hi, I'm Zayn.” He hold his hand out and I take it.

“I'm Juli, nice to meet you.” I say and he leans closer to kiss my cheek. I feel myself blush and Harry chuckles beside me. Zayn and Liam walks closer into the apartment and Harry put his arm around me and lead me with them. I'm so not used to handsome guys kissing me on the cheek, why do they do that? I don't even know them. Two down, two to go.

“And this is Niall and Louis.” Harry say as we walk into the big living room. The first thing I see is a guy in the corner, his toned body in a white t-shirt, the messy hair standing up in a perfect mess on his head and those blue eyes with a hint of green staring straight onto mine. My breath gets caught in my throat, my heart beats fast and I feel my forehead moisten. What. The. Hell.

I can feel my cheeks getting a darker shade of pink and I see the confusion in the guy's eyes, he's good at hiding it though. I can bet that the shock shows on my face since I'm not such a good actress. I look away, not sure what to do. Harry feels my tension and look down at me.

“What is it?” He asks low, so the others wont hear.

“I need to go.” I say and he frown. I look into his eyes and he see the panic in them and nod.

“Sorry guys, this was a quick visit. We'll see you later.” He say and I smile and wave at the other guys who seems as shocked as Harry. I just need to get out. I need to go. I want to run out as fast as I can.

“Are you okey?” He ask as we get out onto the street again.

“Yeah, I just don't feel so good. I need to go home.” I say, looking down at my feet.

“Okey, I'll drive you.” He say and turn towards his car.

“No, you don't need to do that. Go be with the guys, I'll catch a cab.” I say and look up into his uncomprehending eyes. I hate that look, but don't really know what to do right now. I see a car drive down the street just then and I hold my hand up to make it stop. It stops beside us.

“Oh.” Harry say and looks sad. I walk closer to him and takes his hand.

“Tonight was perfect, sorry for making it short.” I say and kiss his cheek.

“It's okey.” He say low, still sounding confused. I get into the cab and drive away, looking back at Harry who is standing on the curb, looking baffled. I hate doing that to him. I turn back around and take a deep breath.

I can't believe this. That was him. The nameless guy.

He is Harry's friend.


Holy shit!
