I pull away to look at his face and see his smirk, I smile as I lean in, it’s me initiating now. I kiss him back and I can feel his cheeky smile against my lips. Clearly happy that I have the same idea. I can feel his thumbs brushing my cheeks lightly ridding them of hair as we move in perfect synchronisation. As we pull apart a final time, his top lip rests on mine and his gaze rests on the floor, catching his breath. I stare at him shamelessly whilst smiling slightly, waiting for his green eyes to meet mine. He finally looks up and I take in his features. I’ve never had the privilege of being this close to him. I could see the stubble on his chin and upper lip and I could feel his eyes staring at mine as I examined the rest of his face. His plump pink lips, his dimples that made me swoon, his eyelashes that perfectly framed his eyes. He was truly handsome and I loved being this close. I could almost hear the screams of fangirls as I finally made eye contact with him. We stood there for a few moments, I wasn’t awkward but neither of us know what to say. We quietly stare at each other, our smiles slowly growing before we burst out laughing. When people don’t know how to react in an awkward situation, the often laugh uncontrollable. I heard that somewhere and never fully understood it until now.

We finally calm ourselves down from our little laughter outbreak and I begin to speak,

“Soooo….” I start with a little giggle that Harry soon reciprocates. “What just happened” I giggle and let my head fall on his shoulder. He places his hand on the back of my head and smooths my hair as he laughs at me.

“I don’t really know” he replied, still laughing. Not the answer I was looking for to be honest, I kind of wanted him to profess his undying love but you know, too soon I guess. “but I liked it” I could hear his smirk even though I wasn’t looking at him. That was more like the answer I was looking for.

“I liked it too” I say smiling into his chest.

We make our way downstairs and sit back into our original spots like nothing happened. As soon as I sit down I take Niall’s hand in mine again. I feel Harry tense slightly beside me but he soon relaxes. He knows that me and Niall are all fake. And what should I matter to him, it’s not like we are anything, I mean we kissed and we flirt all the time but we don’t have a status.
Harry put his hand on my thigh and I shoot him a look. I don’t think he realises how serious this is. He held up his hands in surrender as I turned my attention back to everyone else. We just sat around talking rubbish. Everyone had gotten considerably more drunk since we went upstairs and could barely string a sentence together. Lucy told me earlier on that she had booked a few apartment viewings for tomorrow so we had decided to slow down on the alcohol intake so that we weren’t too hungover.

At about 2:00 am, we all decided to head back to the hotel. We once again all climbed into an Adison lee cab and got driven back to the hotel. I was quite liking the fact that Harry always tried to sit next to me, it was cute and I had no objections to him sitting near to me. Once we were back at the hotel, we all got out of the cab and into the elevator up to our floor. The elevator dinged and we all stepped out, Louis and Liam’s rooms were to the right and ours and Harry’s were to the left.

“See you later guys” Louis slurred to us as we stumbled off. He was by far the most drunk but he was having fun so why bother him.
Lucy winked at me before heading into the room and leaving me and Harry alone on the landing.

“You want to come in or” he said hesitantly as he gestured towards his door. I know I shouldn’t but how can I deny it. Harry Styles is inviting me into his hotel room. No, I think.

“Err, yeah sure why not” I say, completely contradicting my thoughts, the things this boy does to me I swear. I follow him into his hotel room and linger awkwardly beside the couch as h takes his shoes off.

“You can sit down cuddles” he says with a laugh, I laugh with him but in reality, I’m dead nervous around him.
