Kismet

Georgie laughed slightly as she sat on Harry's couch a few hours later. They movie she had been watching with him and Liam had ended and now Liam who had been sitting between the both of them was asleep, snoring very softly but still enough to be heard by both of them.

"Poor Li," Georgie said as she shook her head, standing from the couch. "Couldn't even stay awake during Dirty Dancing which he chose," she smiled as she turned her head to see Harry standing up which caused Liam to slump over as his head had been resting on Harry's shoulder, but even that movement didn't stir him.

Instead it made his snoring louder and both she and Harry laughed then though Harry did move to cover him up with the blanket he kept on the back of his couch.

"You aren't going to wake him so he can go home?" Georgie questioned as she stretched some because sitting on the couch for so long had made her a bit stiff in certain places, namely her back.

Harry shook his head as he turned to look at Georgie, "Not the first time he's crashed on my couch before."

"Really?" Georgie asked feeling a bit taken aback because this was new information to her. "You two always have sleep overs I'm not invited too?"

"Funny," Harry deadpanned as he walked past Georgie and headed to the sliding glass door that led out to his balcony. "You're always here but after you leave Liam just semi stays," he shrugged as he opened the door and stepped outside, Georgie following behind. "Sometimes I think he half thinks he lives here or something. Maybe I should start offering to make him pay rent."

Georgie scrunched up her nose as she watched Harry pull out his pack of cigarettes, "His rent money would only go to help that awful habit of yours," she muttered as he pulled a cigarette out of the pack and put it between his lips. "I thought you said you were going to quit."

"I did say that," Harry acknowledged after he had lit the cigarette and took his first puff. "But that was before Rory had a pregnancy scare on me."

"Rory?" Georgie asked as she racked her brain with that name and she had almost came up empty until she realized Rory was the beach blonde dye job he had dated for a few months and recently broke up with. "Oh the girl who had that weird valley girl accent?" she asked seeing Harry nod his head letting her know she was right. "I...wow...she thought she was having your baby?" she questioned almost feeling a bit nausea's' knowing Harry had already had sex.

Yeah Harry may have been a few months older than her, he was already twenty-one where she'd turn twenty-one in September but still she just had never thought he had, had sex with anyone before and now this information made her feel horrible for still being a virgin. Hell it made Georgie feel a bit pathetic that as some dumb teenager she had stupidly been saving herself for him and Montana obviously thought she still was.

Nodding his head Harry walked a bit closer to the balcony, "Yeah, she called me up three weeks ago and said she was late," he revealed and once again Georgie had felt shocked because why couldn't Harry tell her this when it happened? Weren't they usually somewhat honest with each other. "She wasn't pregnant though. She went to the doctor and they did a blood test."

"What if she had been pregnant?" Georgie asked as she walked beside Harry, leaning against the balcony as she looked at the lights from the city. From his apartment Harry had a good view of Los Angeles all lit up at night.

"I would've married her," Harry spoke and his answer made Georgie feel sick again. "I mean it's the right thing to do and it would have been expected of me. You know how strict my mom and dad are."

Georgie fought the urge to roll her eyes at that because of course she knew. She knew because her own mom was that strict. They had both grown up in the same small town in Virginia and so she knew what strict parents were like even if she and Harry had a bit of a different home life.

Harry had grown up with a father who was a lawyer and a mother who was a doctor and he had an older sister who was now some well known model. While Georgie and Montana had been raised by their mother Carolina, a woman who had maybe loved too easy because she had given their dad one too many chances and no one had been shocked when he ran off when Georgie was five and Montana was eight and poor old Carolina had to live with the stigma of raising two children by herself but even with that stigma and the whispers about their family she was strict.

Georgie half guessed it was because she didn't want her daughters to follow in her footsteps and maybe so far she had done good, even if Montana herself loved too easy thus being torn between Zayn and Niall right now, but Georgie wasn't one to love too easy or so she didn't think. She had always been blind to her own faults and she could be now, after all she had been semi infatuated with Harry for awhile now even in spite of him clearly not ever reciprocating.

"Of course I know how strict they are," Georgie finally voiced her words breaking the silence she had created. "But you wouldn't have been in love with Rory even if it would have been the right thing," she sighed. "You deserve to marry someone you love so it's probably a good thing she wasn't pregnant."

"Oh George," Harry sighed softly as he turned to look at her as he finished off his cigarette. "You always were the romantic but surely you have to know we can't get everything we deserve," he spoke and it was after he said that, that his eyes trailed from her face and down her body and she felt a shiver run down her spine as he did so. "Some things we deserve don't really deserve us because we'll just damage it."

Rolling her eyes now, Georgie looked away from Harry, "Now that's just stupid," she said as she shook her head. "It's also stupid you didn't tell me about Rory's pregnancy scare when it happened."

"Didn't want you disappointed in me George," Harry said as his voice took on a bit of a sad tone. "Liam was when I went to him to rant and confess all my feelings."

Georgie bit her lip hard to keep herself from confronting him on telling Liam and she also hated herself for wanting to do that too. Yeah Liam was her friend and Harry's too but he hadn't been around since the beginning, since childhood and it hurt he'd tell Liam over her.

"I would never be disappointed in you Haz," Georgie told him as she turned back to him again and this time she leaned in to kiss his cheek. "You'd have to do more than get a girl pregnant to disappoint me," she smiled as she pulled away seeing him just staring at her as if he could see through her which also made a shiver run down her spine.

"Now let's head inside. I have to get home anyway," she continued as she moved away from the balcony and headed to the sliding glass doors.

"You could stay here tonight," Harry offered as he walked to where she was and he opened the door. "You could sleep in my bed with me since Liam has the couch," he said as he walked inside and Georgie followed after him, surprised by his offer of her staying the night and in his bed.

Georgie once again scrunched up her nose as she shut the door behind her on her way back in. "I shouldn't," she said once she turned back to look at him. "I'd feel awful making you share your bed with me."

"It's not the first time we've shared a bed George," Harry laughed out loudly and Georgie didn't see how Liam who was still snoozing on the couch could sleep through it. "You're already in your pajamas and it'd be a shame for you to walk back to your apartment or get a cab this late."

"You have several points," Georgie nodded as she huffed out, throwing her hands up. "I'll stay but if you hog the covers I'm throwing you out of the bed during the night," she teased before brushing past him to go to his room, hearing him call out that he'd be there soon.

He apparently just wanted to tuck Liam back in and cut off the lights that were on. His parents would love to know that he was doing well in remembering to conserve energy. Maybe sometimes he didn't live up to their standards but he did have that..and well he was a nice friend and a good man, probably too good if he was willing to marry someone just because they had his child.

Getting to Harry's room, Georgie flipped on the light switch as she toed her shoes off on the way to his bed and when she made it to his bed she sighed before laying back, not sure if she'd be able to go to sleep easy. Not after finding out what she had about Harry almost being a dad. She had meant it when she said she wouldn't have been disappointed but it still hurt knowing that she was right once again in him not wanting her romantically and it also hurt that he had opted not to tell her, instead choosing to tell Liam.

Being brought out of her thoughts though, Georgie turned her head when Harry came into the room, shutting the door before he began to strip down to his boxers and she probably should have looked away even if she had seen him in just his boxers before. It was never polite to stare but with Harry she really couldn't help it mainly because he was almost like a walking Adonis or something but he'd never admit to knowing it. He was always so bashful about his looks when getting complimented.

When he joined her in bed Georgie wasn't sure why but she felt her cheeks heat up slightly at just how close they were now. She had almost forgotten how small his bed was. It was a bit bigger than her own bed but still small compared to other beds.

"Goodnight Harry," Georgie spoke closing her eyes before he turned and saw her blushing or even staring at him though he probably already knew she had been staring when he changed. He had to have felt her eyes on him.

"Wait," Harry spoke sounding a bit whiny and Georgie opened her eyes to find that he had turned on his side to face her. "Was Liam right earlier? When he said you had a crush on that Louis dude."

Georgie raised an eyebrow at Harry's question because right now with just the two of them he looked so vulnerable and sounded a bit less defensive than he had before.

"Does it matter if he was?" Georgie questioned as she locked eyes with Harry. "I'll never see him again and it doesn't matter," she told him figuring her words should be confirmation enough. That he'd get the hint that yeah she maybe had a small tiny crush on Louis but like she had said, she'd never see him again.

Harry seemed to frown at her words or well Georgie thought it looked like a frown but she was tired so her mind could just have been seeing things. "It matters," he spoke as he wrapped an arm around Georgie's waist and his statement confused her because if she said it didn't matter then it didn't.

"Goodnight Harry," Georgie said again as she closed her eyes, choosing to just ignore his words and as she drifted off to a sleep she didn't think she'd have she swore she heard Harry saying it mattered to him but again she was tired and in between awake and asleep so her mind could have been playing tricks and probably was.

Harry may have been a tad overprotective at times but her having a crush on Louis wouldn't matter to him. Just like the fact that he had sex with girls who weren't her shouldn't have mattered to her.
