Almost Lover *On Hold*

The rest of the time at the fire was pretty normal. We all just got to know each other. Niall is funny and huge flirt, Louis is hilarious, Zayn is really nice and chill he’s the quietest out of them but I have a feeling that because we just met, Liam is nice and sweet, and Harry is- I don’t know- when I was talking to him he was mysterious and intimidating but with the whole group he’s funny and nice.
I turned to walk up the trail with the rest of my group, but a large hand grabbed my wrist. Without even looking I knew it was Harry. “What?” I pushed out as a faced him.
“I thought you were single?” He said as a question.
“I am.”
“Em!” Jai’s voice called from behind me.
“Go, I’ll come up in a minute,” I answered without turning. I heard footsteps of him running up the hill. Then I was alone with Harry.
I’m alone with a boy I met a few hours ago: Great. I barely know anything about him. What if he isn’t nice and sweet like he was acting when everyone was around?
“If you’re single who’s he?” Harry scuffed.
“Were not dating and we will never date. Jai’s hot and cool but isn’t my type,” I explained trying to remain emotionless and in control.
“So you’re fuck buddies,” He said and I couldn’t tell if it was a question or not.
“No,” I quickly defended, “I’m- uh- not like that. I’ve never even-.”I cut myself off.
A slight smirk crossed his face, “I almost feel bad for him.”
“What?” I question confused.
“He obviously thinks you’re going to sleep with him soon and you are obviously not,” Harry chuckled.
“Maybe that’s what you want but that’s not what every guy wants, Harry,” I snapped.
“Trust me if that was all I wanted we would be in my bed right now,” He said.
How could he just say something like that? Does it make him feel awkward at all? “You know you are the most cocky, arrogant guy I have ever met.”
“Thank you. Now tell me, if you aren’t trying to fuck or date Jai why do you guys have a thing?” He said stepping closer to me so there was only about a foot of space between us.
I don’t have an answer. I don’t know why I have a thing with Jai. It’s honestly just because he’s hot and an easy guy to- take advantage of- I guess. He’s just a push over and I know he won’t make me do anything I don’t want to. I don’t want to be in a relationship but I want someone to kiss and flirt with. I can’t tell Harry that though, he’ll think I’m a horrible person. “I don’t know.”
“Wait-.” He said like he just remembered something, “you’ve never even what?” A smirk appeared on his face before he answered his own question, “Had sex, wow. That’s adorable,” He said through a laugh.
“You’re an asshole. I’m waiting for someone I actually love,” I said as I felt my cheeks heat up.
“Love isn’t real,” Harry responded breaking eye contact for only a moment before turning back to me.
“What?” I questioned. Does he really think love isn’t real?
“Never mind.” He brushed off my question without answering. “Can you stay down here for a while?” He asked with smile returning to his face.
“Let me see, can I stay outside in the cold night with a boy who pushes me around, laughs at me, and think I want him? No, I don’t think so.”
He grabbed a blanket off the ground and brushed it off before wrapping it around me, “See that was nice and I could have said a cocky comeback about how I could make you warm but I didn’t and that’s nice, so just stay down here for like ten more minutes.”
I could help letting out a little laugh, “Why do you even want me to stay down here?”
“Because I want get to know you,” He smiled.
“I’m sure that’s why,” I said in a sarcastic tone, “but I have to go.”
“C’mon, just ten minutes,” He bit his lip as he stepped closer closing the gap between us and grabbing my hands, pushing his fingers in between mine.
Every place that his skin touched my was tingling and it felt like I had fireworks going off in my stomach.
“Bye, Harry,” I forced before pulling away from him. He’s doing this on purpose. Trying to prove I’m not in control. He’s an asshole for that, not forcing me to stay but making me dread leaving.
“Hm, can I at least have a goodbye kiss?” He said and I can tell he’s trying to make his voice sweet and innocent.
“Drop the act,” I pushed.
“That’s the first time anyone has told me to stop acting nice.”
He pulled his hand through his hair with a smirk placed on his face. I think he know how much he’s affecting me right now. I feel like I’m about to explode because of how nervous I am; I know my hand are shaking and my cheeks are probably red. He seems so proud that he’s intimidating me. God, this would be a whole lot easier if he wasn’t so attractive.
“It’s not nice if it’s an act,” I finally answered.
“You’re right, but I really am a nice guy,” He responded with puppy dog eyes.
Ha, that must be a joke. “Mhm, well if that’s all I’m going to go now.” I turned around; letting out a breath I didn’t know I was holding in the second we broke eye contact.
“Wait, Emily,” He said grabbing my wrist, “where’s my goodbye kiss?”
Without thinking I brought my mouth up to his ear like he did to me earlier except I have to stretch up a bit. “You’re not that lucky,” I whispered before turning and hurrying up the trail to the house.
