The One
Chapter 9
****************Chelsea's POV****************
Amber and I went to shopping at Gucci because we still had an hour before we had to meet the boys. I bought a pair of shiny turquoise platform heels with a strap around the ankle to match my turquoise Minnie dress with a lace bodice.
"Do you think this matches my eyes?" Amber asked holding up a bright yellow silk scarf.
"Ummm.....Yes, but only wear it in the spring or summer." I replied hesitantly.
"Okay, I'll buy it, thanks Chels!" she thanked as she headed to the cash registers. I kept looking through clothes, but I didn't buy any because most of it I already had. Then I saw it. The one dress that I thought was in the trash forever. The dress Kile gave to me when we were together. I felt tears welt up in my eyes, i had held all of this up, I never admitted how much he hurt me. I never told a soul, he was such a jerk, and I fell hard for him. He was the first guy I actually cared about, I trusted. And then he had to go and cheat on me. Amber came over happily to me as I stood and stared at the history dress.
"Hey Chels look at how-" She stopped her sentence as I stood with tears running down my face uncontrollably. She quickly observed what had gotten my upset, and walked over to me and gave me a huge hug. That's one of the things I loved about Amber, she always knew when something was eating me up, and she isn't the kind of person that says 'I told you so' she is the kind of person that knew exactly what I was thinking. "It will be okay Chels, you were never meant to be together anyway. He is such an ass hole." I laughed a little at her funny remark, but it was true. He was an ass hole. I quickly wiped the tears away from my eyes and trying to chipper up so I didn't start a scene.
"Lets go. If I want to forget the past, I have to live in the present. I said lifting my spirits. "Lets go on a date." I said walking out of the store with my head held high, and confidently.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We arrived at Olive Garden, where I saw Harry's car parked curb side., which I did the same. Its one date Amber, you can do this, just be sexy like you always are, I thought to myself. I took a deep breath in, and got out of the car, and did my sexy walk. The wind hit my long blonde hair perfectly, just as I looked and saw Harry staring at me with his lips parted. The doorman opened the door for Amber and I, as I attempted to hold my dress down and fix my hair before we confronted the boy band.
"Hey." I said walking over to Harry and the boys giving each of them a hug. Harry kept staring at me, and finally got himself together to talk.
"You look-"
"Hot." Louis said interrupting Harry. I couldn't help my cheeks turning bright red. Harry nudged Louis for him to knock it off. Amber coughed signalling she was still standing there looking stupid..
"Oh, yes. Everyone this is my best friend Amber. Amber this is Zayn, Liam, Louis, Niall, and Harry." I said pointing to the boys. I saw Louis nudge Liam on the back, probably thought Amber was like hot or something.
"Should we go to our table?" Harry asked interrupting the silence.
"Oh yes, we should." I replied back. Harry held hid arm out for me to take. I was a little hesiative at first, but them I accepted his polite gesture. The waitress walked through people, and up an elevator to our table. I could she was flirting with Harry, but Harry kept his focus on me.
"Here are your menus, my name is Olivia and I will be your waitress." She said giving Harry a wink.
"I would prefer if you would not do that when I'm on a date, thank you." Harry said clearly annoyed. She apologized and took our drink orders. The boys all got a strange drink called Zelome; I had never heard of it before but Harry said it was a traditional drink in Britain with lemon juice, cinnamon, mint, and fruit. I ordered a club soda, and Amber had a Shirley temple; she usually had kid drinks, I have no idea why, I guess it was just something she liked. We talked about music, movies, sports, then my phone rang. The number was blocked so I figured I should answer it. I excused myself and headed for the bathroom to take the call.
"Hello?" I said into the phone.
"Hey beautiful." The voice said. In an instant I knew exactly who it was, the only person that ever called me that. Kile.
"Kile, what the hell."
"I heard you were on a date, so who's the guy."
"That's none of your business."
"Uh, hate to break it to ya, but it is."
"Really, how?"
"I'm your ex-boyfriend."
"That has nothing to do with it."
"Yeah, well, I am going to figure out who it is."
"Have fun with that."
"Well, since your at Olive Garden I can go and see for myself."
"How do you know I'm at Olive Garden?"
"I still have your find my iPhone I.D."
"You little perv. You wouldn't even think about coming her."
"Oh yeah, watch me. See ya in a little bit beautiful." Then he hung up. I leaned up against the wall in the bathroom. This couldn't be happening. I walked straight out of the bathroom, and right over to our table.
"I just need to borrow Amber for a second, family emergency." I said grabbing Amber's arm as she was drinking her Shirley temple. I weaved through people as I death gripped Amber's wrist behind me. I walked straight back into the bathroom and turned around to her.
"What's the family emergency?" She asked completely oblivious.
"Kile's coming here." I replied back as I watched her eyes widen.
"You have got to be freaking kidding me." She said in awestruck.
"I'm deadly serious. He said he wanted to know who I was going out with, and when I didn't tell me he said he will come and see for himself."
"Oh good Lord in Heaven. If he meets Harry, he's gonna beet him up."
"You don't think he would do that here, do you?" I asked.
"To be honest, he is so psychotic, he probably would."
"Okay, then we need to either have to disguise me so he won't recognize me, or start like making out with Harry so he knows I'm over him."
"I hate to say it, but the first option won't work, he recognizes the clothes you wear. I think you know what you have to do."
"Oh God, no, that was just a suggestion, I didn't think it would come down to this."
"Here, just think that your making out with Harry Styles."
"That's what gets me." I said trying to obtain all of the information.
"Okay, here's the plan. When I see I will start playing with my earring, then you do your stuff."
"Uggggg.....Okay, fine. Lets go." We both walked out of the bathroom back to our table, right before we were close Amber caught my arm and whispered .
"Would you be fine if I started making out with Louis?" I laughed at what she said.
"Sure." We walked over and sat down at the table, Harry not taking his eyes off me.
"SO what was the family emergency?" Harry asked in his attractive raspy voice.
"Oh, my, uh grandma, fell, down her, um stairs." I replied back.
"Is she okay?" He asked his emerald eyes filled with sympathy.
"Yeah, shes fine." I said lying through my teeth. We both stared into each other's eyes, he was so hot, I couldn't even believe it. I saw Amber attempting to play with her earring, and looked behind me and saw Kile searching through all of the people. I took a deep breath, and quickly leaned into Harry and locked our lips. All of them boys had their jaws dropped, and Harry's eyes were wide open and he was struggling because I was clenching his tight blazer. I saw Amber grab Louis shirt and pull him into her, and his reaction was almost the same as Harry's. Harry eventually got used to it, but Liam Zayn and Niall still had their eyes wide open. All of a sudden I heard footsteps running over to our table, and knew exactly who it was. But I didn't stop, because I knew it wouldn't work if I did.
"Chelsea....Chelsea....CHELSEA!!!! STOP!!!!!" Kile practically yelled in his attempt for me to stop. I felt a hand grab me shoulder, and pull me back. I stood up and looked at Kile.
"Kile, you know what, I've had enough of you, you've ruined everything for me, and I'm not gonna let you ruin this." I said pointing at Harry. Harry stood up, and clearly angry.
"Who's this?" He asked angrily.
"This is my ass hole ex-boyfriend Kile." I said giving a sarcastic smile at Kile. Harry stepped forward closer to Kile, but I stopped him from moving any closer as I put my hand on his toned chest. I had just remembered reading on the internet, that Harry had a very short temper, and he used to get into a lot of fights.
"Back off." Harry said sternly.
"Not a chance." Kile replied back.
"I said, back off." Harry said pushing Kile's shoulder back. I held Harry back before I whispered so only they could here it.
"You two are gonna start a scene if you do this."
"You win this time Styles. Just be prepared for the next one." Kile said walking away. Then he turned around again and looked directly at me. "Goodbye beautiful." and winked at me. I saw Harry's jaw tense, as he did that.
"How come you never told me about him?" He asked.
"I didn't think it would ever come up, he;s a stupid ass hole." I replied cursing him.
"Oh yeah, where were we?" He said before leaning in and attempting to finish where we left off. But I stepped back.
"What?" He asked confused.
"I only made out with you because I thought it would show Kile I had moved on."
"Yeah, but we never finished."
"Doesn't mean we need to." I replied back.
"Fine, just be prepared for me to finish."
great work!
