All I Want For Christmas Is You

“Karla, I don’t think we should be here,” I whispered in her ear. She jerked her head to me and rolled her eyes. “Really miss goody two shoes? Haha,” she said continuing to follow the boys inside. I followed close behind Karla, taking in everything around me. “Ah boys! Come! I see you’ve brought a couple girls along eh?” the bartender said in a thick British accent. I saw Louis nod, and Niall flopped himself down on a bar stool close by. “Don’t be scared!” Niall said as the bartender handed him and the boys a cup of alcohol. Karla sat down next to him, and I kind of hung behind them, refusing to sit down. I knew this was wrong to do… even if we were in another country! “Cat. Come sit down!” Karla said, pulling my arm down and she succeeded on pulling me down. “Ah yes perfect!” Harry answered as the bartender handed him a martini glass filled with a chartreuse liquid with sparkling green mint leaves floating around in it. The bartender finished it off with an olive stuck through the middle of a toothpick. I gazed at Harry in aw as he took a sip of the liquid. My eyes slid over to Liam, who was sitting near Harry, speaking to Luke and Ashton. “Oh, I’m good,” Liam said as the bartender offered him a drink. “You sure?” he asked. Liam nodded. Zayn was taking a sip of the same drink Harry had as he was in discussion about something with Louis, who had a wine glass full of red liquid. And then I glanced over at Niall as he was taking a big swig of the amber liquid in the icy glass, and he and Karla were talking and I then saw Niall offer Karla a drink and she took just as big of a drink as Niall took, of the same liquid. I gasped and ran to her and shook her shoulder. “KARLA!” I yelled at her, and Niall stared at me in confusion. “Sorry,” I apologized as Karla turned around in disgust at me. I backed away and sat back down in a stool.
The bartender came up to me and offered me a drink and handed me a list of their famous drinks. I gazed over the list just to see the names and then I shook my head, but before the bartender took the list back, Harry swung his arm around me and whispered in my ear. “I’ll get you a drink,” and I couldn’t say no… I couldn’t feel the will to tell him that. Harry pointed at his glass and the bartender smiled and nodded at him as he went and grabbed about three different bottles of liquor. The bartender did his magic in the back and then came back to me, setting the same drink Harry was drinking, in front of me. I stared at it for a moment before Harry insisted me on trying it… And I gave in.

I shouldn’t have done that. Let’s just leave it at that.

After about three of those strong drinks, I couldn’t focus my vision, and I felt dizzy. I was walking to go tell Karla something, but I fell on my way to her, and I heard the roar of laughter rise again. I laughed too, I didn’t know why but I did. Karla staggered up to me, and screamed in my face, “I… I DON’T KNOW WHY… BUT YA KNOW … I REEEEEEALLY LIKE NIALL… HE’S SO I DON’T KNOW… BUT HE’S LIKE KITTENS SO FUZZY AND HAPPY BUT HE BITES AHAHA!” I was confused but I continued to laugh as I slapped her shoulder. “OH Did I tell you that we… uh... made out! HA! I hope Louis isn’t jealous because Louis and I are gonna get MARRIED and so is NIALL!” Karla continued as she slammed down her cup on the tile counter. I continued to laugh as I felt hands reach behind my waist. I turned to see Harry smirking at me. I smiled back and he snuggled his head in the crook of my neck. “Someone’s tipsy isn’t she?” he asked, hugging me more. I giggled and laughed harder. “I really like you,” I blurted out. Harry turned his head up to the sky and laughed. “I guess we like each other then!” he said with a cheesy smile, kissing my cheek. I giggled and snuggled into his chest, he seemed pleased and then suddenly he picked me up bridal style and took me outside. I felt the cold, dark, wind blow on my exposed legs. I had decided to wear my little black dress because that was their new single. Bad idea. It was too cold.
Harry set me down on the sidewall, in the shadows and pushed me against the wall. “Babe, I love you,” he muttered in a deep, raspy voice before his lips planted on mine. I felt his freezing hands tingle on my previously warm skin. They reached for my waist and he picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his hips. We continued to kiss and I felt him, go more and more into it, pressing his body against mine. After a few minutes I felt sweat drip down my face even though there was ice hanging from the roof of the bar. I finally pulled my mouth from his. “Harry,” I weakly whispered. His heavy breathing came steady paced again. “Yes,” he replied, staring into my eyes. I couldn’t answer, I just stared into his eyes. They were dark, and almost mysterious, they were not the bright eyes I had come to know. In fact, he was acting completely different. “I can’t do this!” I slurred before I ran and stumbled back inside. He followed behind me closely.
I slammed open the door and saw Louis passed out with Zayn in a booth. I then looked to my left and saw Karla sitting in Niall’s lap, one arm of his around her, the other, holding her hand. “Karla, I thought you liked Louis?” I stumbled and paused over every other word. Karla grinned and shrugged. “Niall is just so perfect! We both LOVE FOOD!” she said raising his hand and he laughed as he kissed her cheek. “I ... I really think you are amazing,” he said to her as she smiled. “Just don’t… you know… tell Louis about … well… us?” Karla whispered. Niall smiled and nodded as his lips met hers.

I don’t remember anything else… I just remember Liam took us to the flat and we all passed out.
