Taking Chances
(Chapter:11)
(Friday Night)
Harry's POV:
It was 5:30. I had exactly an hour and a half to go pick up Taylor. I decided to take a quick shower, after he shower I started to get dressed. I wore a white shirt with a grey cardigan and some jeans. http://www.polyvore.com/harry_styles/set?id=91514932
As I took one more look at myself, I was getting slightly nervous. Harry c'mon you got this! It's not like its a real date to the point where I'm going to ask her to be my girlfriend or some shit.
I left my flat and started to walk towards my car. I started the engine and started to drive towards Taylor's house.
As I was driving to her house, the closer I got, the more nervous I got.
When I pulled up in her house, I got off the car and walked to her front door. I took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell, and with one press I could hear the the ding dong noise.
It was long till she opened the door reiviling herself in a white long-sleeve dress with her hair slightly wavy. I'm not gonna lie, she looked gorgeous.

"Hello Harry", she said flashing her nice smile. "Hello Taylor", I greeted back. "You look beautiful", I complemented her.(Not as beautiful as Allison though) " Thank you. You look really handsome too", she said blushing. "Shall we", I said offering my hand.
As we were walking to my car, I opened her the door then closed it and I walked to my side and got in.
"Ready?", she asked me. I smiled then looked at her. "Ready"
Allison's POV:
"So?! What are you gonna get Allie?", Tamara asked me. I was so distracted that I didn't bother to answer her. I was focused in the entrance of Applebee's to see if Harry and Taylor were about to show up anytime soon.
"Allison Santos!", Tamara screamed at me. "Hmmm?", is all I said. "Gosh! I hate it when you do that!", she said annoyed. "What do I do?", I asked her curiously. "Your always daydreaming or you sometimes just ignore what I say", she said complaining.
"I'm sorry, your right I'm just kind of distracted that's all", I said feeling guilty. She let out a sigh and looked at me. "It's okay. I guess that's what makes you, you", she said,"I forgive you", she said to me. I felt myself smile. "This is why I love you T", I said to her. Seriously, I can do so many shit that if she would do it, I wouldn't forgive her. But, unlike her, she is awesome.
"Okay! Lets just order shall we!", I said to brighten up the mood. Still, I had my eyes on the door to see if Harry would show up any time soon. Their was only one Applebee's that I knew that was the closest in this city. If it wasn't this one, then I'm screwed.
As me and Tamara looked at the Menu, a tall young man came to our table to finally take our order.
"Hello! Welcome to Applebee's! My name is Michael and I will
be serving you this evening. May I take you order?", he sled politely. Before I can order, Tamara right away cut me off. "Yes can I have steak with smash potatoes and french fries please", she said flirty. Oh Tamara.
"Sure. Anything to drink perhaps?", he asked her with a grin. "Can I have a cherry temple?", she asked cocking her eyebrow up. "Of course", he said flashing her a cocky smile. Wow, this was really awkward. I was in the middle of my best friend and our waiter flirting. When he finally write down her order, he looked at me.
"Can I take your order?", he asked nicely. "Um yea can I have a hamburger with no onion and no pickles with also french-", when I looked up at him, I saw Harry and Taylor walk in.
"Oh shit!", I cursed under my breath. "Excuse me?", Michael said confused. "Oh um", I started to stutter and could barely speak. I started to cover half my face except my eyes to see where they were sitting.
They sat just a couple tables away from us in which I had the perfect view of them. Harry looked very handsome, as always(; And Taylor, like always, beautiful. Shit man!
"Helloooo! Allison?!", Tamara waved with her hand in front of my face. "Huh?", I said facing my attention to them all of a sudden. "You wanted a hamburger with no onions and pickles...", she said gesturing me to continue. "Oh right! And some French fries with a cherry temple as well please?", I said nervously. "Okay, your order will be ready in 15-20minutes", Michael said then walked away.
I didn't notice that I was holding my breath in which I exhaled and felt relieved
"Tamara? Did you see who came?", I asked her. "Who?!", she asked dying to know. "Okay, turn around. But don't make it obvious!", I said warning her. That's great! That's the first thing she did.
She twisted her body around and gasped at the sight if Harry and Taylor. When she turned to look at me, she had an ' :0 ' face.
"No fuckin way!", she cursed so I can be the only one to hear. "Tamara! I said to not make it obvious!", I said a little mad. I didn't want Harry to know that I was here.
"Dude! Mr. Styles and Mrs. Swift are totally fucking!", she said all shocked and surprised. I let out a forced smile to let her know that it was funny. Clearly, it wasn't. At least not to me.
I was watching them from a distance and it looked as if they were having a good time. From a distance I saw Harry
him laughing then he was just smiling most of the time.
I envied Taylor. For many reasons. 1) She is very beautiful 2) She is very successful, and lastly 3) She is dating Harry. My Harry!
It was killing me inside. The fact that its easy for her. She got it the easy way, unlike me, I got it the hard way.
"Here is your order ladies", Michael said as he first put our drinks on the table then out meal. Before he left, he gave Tamara a wink and left back to work.
"Omg! Did you see that?!", Tamara said all happy.
"I sure did", I said smiling. "He's totally into you", I said to her.
When I turned my gaze back to Harry and Taylor, she was now feeding him from her plate. That teared it! By now my hunger went away and my blood was boiling like crazy.
"Woah dude! Look at Mr. Styles and Mrs. Taylor, looks like their hitting it off pretty good", Tamara said as she was cutting her steak. "Yeah", was all I could really say.
All of a sudden, right when I decide to look again, he reach across the table to plant a kiss on her cheek. That's all it took for my eyes to get watery. I couldn't let Tamara know that I was about to cry.
"Hey um, I'm going to the restroom quick okay", I said getting up to go to the restroom. "Um okay, but hurry! Your food will get cold", she said to me. By now, I felt a tear fall from my cheek. I wiped it away quick so she wouldn't see.
As I went in the restroom, I got into one of the stalls and let out my tears.
I cried for what seems to be a while, but eventually I had to get back to Tamara. As I was cleaning my smeared make-up, I heard the restroom door open and someone coming in.
When I finally cleaned my face, I walked out of the stall and saw a blonde girl fixing her make-up. She right away noticed me since I was the only one in the restroom with her.
"Allison?!", Taylor said surprised. Oh shit!
Harry's POV:
"I'll be right back", Taylor said as she went to the girls washroom.
As I was sitting their, I started to look around the restaurant and saw someone I know I've seen before. Before I know it, she turned around and met my gaze then turned around quickly as if she got caught.
I look to see if Taylor was coming, but she was no where in sight. So, I decided to go and say hello to the person I spotted.
"Hello Tamara", I said as I reached her table. She almost chocked on her drink as she saw me. She right away got a napkin and wiped her mouth.
"Mr. Styles! What a surprise!", she said in a nervous way.
"Yes it is. What are you doing here? Are you here by yourself?", I asked her.
"Actually, no. I'm here with Allison, she just went to the restroom really quick", she said.
"Wait! What?! Allison's here?!", I asked shocked.
Allison's POV:
"Mrs. Swift! What a surprise to see you here!", I said trying to sound surprised. Which clearly I wasn't.
"Yeah! It is! Did you come with someone? Who did you come with?", she asked all happy and surprised.
"Oh, I came withTamara. Who did you come with?", I asked to see what she would say.
"Oh! I came with Harry! You know your English Teacher", she said to me excited.
"Of course I know him", I said looking at the ground. "Yeah we're just having dinner, it's know big deal", she said. "That sounds like fun", I said trying not to cry again. "Are you okay? Your eyes look slightly poofy and red", she said worriedly.
"I'm fine. Just allergies", I said as my eyes started to get watery. "Oooh, well I hope you get better", she said putting her hand in my cheek and the other in my shoulder. She is so nice, I couldn't hate her for shit!
"Thanks Mrs. Swift", I said to her with a smile. "Your welcome sweetie! Anytime!", she said nicely. "Well I have to go, I'll see at school then", I said trying to leave.
"I'll see at school", she said smiling. I have her a small smile then left.
-
"Tamara can we please go", I said chocking up in tears. "Hey hey hey? Are you okay?", she asked noticing my teary eyes. "Yeah we can go", she said grabbing our stuff. We soon just hopped in her car and drove home.
Harry's POV:
"So guess who I saw at the restroom?", she asked all excited. "The mirror, sink, and toilet!", I said joking. "No! I'm serious! I saw Allison from school! You know our student", she said to me.
I wasn't surprised when de told me. I saw when she walked out the restroom and just left right away. I wonder if she knew I was here?
"Oh really", is all I said. "Yeah, she is such a sweet girl! You know that she is one of my top students in class? She is super creative and very independent", she said proudly.
The thought of Allison in my mind made me smile. Taylor was right, she IS very smart and creative. It sucks knowing I can't be nothing more other than her English Teacher.
When we finished our meal and paid the bill(which I paid) we soon left and started to drive Taylor home.
-
"I had a nice time Harry", she said smiling at me.
"I had a nice time too Taylor", I told her as we were in her doorstep.
Next thing I know, she reaches her hand in my cheek and started to lean in. By instinct, I grabbed her waist and brought her lips to mine making her chest touch mine as well.
When we pulled away, she blushed red.
"I'll see you soon Harry, Gnight", she said as she closed the door.
I felt weird when I kissed her for some reason. I don't know, I didn't fell no spark. Her lips just weren't as Allison's. Soft, pink, and kissable.
Who am I kidding?! I know that their will be nothing between us. It was just impossible.
Allison's POV:
When we arrived at my house, Tamara decided to sleepover since she was to lazy to drive back home. As I changed to my pjs, I right away spotted Tamara stare at me weird.
"What's wrong?", I asked her curiously.
"I don't know Allison, you tell me?", she said as if their I something wrong. Which their is.
"What are you talking about? I'm fine", I lied.
"Cut the bullshit Allie! Tell me what has been up with you these past couple of weeks! Your not as before anymore", she said slightly sad.
In the spot, I decided to finally just tell her the whole truth. I know I can just her.
"Fine, I'll tell you", I said giving in. "But promise not to freak or ask to many questions!", I said warning her.
"I promise! Now spill!", she said anxious. Alright then, here we go.
"It all began, in the first day of school....."
