-Emily-

“Emily, please! Just one more song,” Sarah pleaded with me. She had begged me to go dancing as soon as we had entered Funky Buddha. I wasn’t much of a dancer myself, but I liked to go crazy to some good music. Tonight however, my thoughts were somewhere else. Or should I say, with someone else? I knew that Harry was here. He told me earlier when we texted that he would be here tonight, besides Liam told us that he was somewhere catching up with some people.

“But Sarah, my feet are killing me!”

“Fine,” she agreed rolling her eyes. “Promise me that we can dance some more later?”

I let out a little laugh. “Since when did you become such a dancer?”

“I’ve always liked to dance. Don’t you remember our senior year at high school? We danced all the time together!” She was right. I do remember.

“Fine,” I said giving her a smile. “Just give my feat some time to recover.”

“Yay,” Sarah squealed while clapping her hands.

When we got back to our booth I took a large sip of my drink and sat back down next to Sarah who was trying to teach Niall some Norwegian. He was actually very good. While I was talking to Liam about what studies I took at university, Harry suddenly showed up. “Hi,” he said while giving Liam a handshake. Guys…

“You alright, mate?” Liam said, while giving him some room to sit down.

“Yeah, just catching up with a couple of guys from Grimmy’s party.”

“Ah, ace! Well, Emily was just telling me about university-life.” No, no, no, no! I don’t want to talk about boring stuff like that now. Harry’s here!

“Oh, really? Are we missing anything?” Harry said grinning at me. I felt my cheeks flush. Why did this always happen? It was so much easier to talk to him through text messages. We haven’t been texting a lot exactly. I had received a few texts like ‘whatch’a doing?’ and ‘any plans for today?’, nothing more.

“Uhm, not really,” I said taking another sip from my drink. “I guess you get to party and meet people even though you’re not at uni.”

“True,” Harry said eying me.

“I tell you what, I do miss school though,” Liam said as a matter of fact.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah, me too man!” Harry agreed. Wow. Who knew? Maybe it was the one too many drinks talking. I laughed a little to myself.

“What’s so funny?” Harry asked amused. Liam had turned around to talk to Maria and Ashton.

“Nothing,” I said smiling back at him. “You.”

“Oh, really?” he said raising his eyebrows. “That’s a first,” he continued while flashing that cheeky smile of his. “You having fun then? I mean, apart from when you’re laughing at me.”

“Yeah, I am. I’ve probably had too many of these though,” I said pointing my finger at the Vodka Lemonade in front of me.

“Yeah, me too. I actually think I need the loo,” he grimaced. “I’ll be back in one sec!”

“Alright,” I smiled back before he left the table.

Not long after I felt my phone buzz in my hand. I laughed to myself when I say Harry’s name on the screen. What is he doing?

From Harry:
The queue is massive…… :(

I looked up from my phone and noticed that everyone was occupied and quickly hit reply.

From Emily:
Aww. :( No special treatment today, Mr Styles?

I hit send and smiled at my attempt of a joke.

From Harry:
Sadly no. How about you? Anyone treating you tonight? ;)

I looked up from my phone embarrassed and I realized no one was paying attention. Thank God. “Emily! Please, put that away.” I jumped in my seat. “We’re at a club and you’re supposed to be having fun,” Sarah shouted in my right ear. I guess I was wrong.

“I am having fun!” She had no idea. “Sorry, I just have to reply to this one,” I said looking down at the screen contemplating on what to write next.

“Who are you texting anyway?” Sarah went on as I quickly typed in my reply.

From Emily:
I’m afraid not. Beginning to feel I put on this dress and heels for nothing… :(

“No one,” I said quickly, now putting my phone away smiling up at Sarah. At first it didn’t look like she was going to let it go, but then Niall interrupted.

“Yes! One!” he shouted receiving everyone’s attention. “One Direction!” It didn’t take long before every cracked up at his lame attempt of a joke, Niall being the one who found it the most amusing. Wow, he was drunk.

“Okay, maybe it’s time for you to get some air,” Liam said standing up from his seat. I looked around at everyone, struggling to hear what they were saying over the loud music. Then Niall jumped up from his seat, making his way over to Liam and Maria who was already standing.

“Daddy,” Niall screamed before hugging onto Liam’s neck.

“Yeah, yeah. Now, lets get you outside.” Liam replied rolling his eyes while holding on to Maria’s hand. Once they left I looked at my phone again.

From Harry:
I wouldn’t say that. Meet me by the bar? :)

I didn’t have to think twice about that. I guess this drinking gave me an extra boost of confidence! I shot up from my seat and turned around to face Sarah and Ashton. “Guys, I’m gonna run to the ladies room,” I lied. I couldn’t tell Sarah…

“Okay?.. I’ll come with you,” Sarah said looking at me disapprovingly.

“No, no! I’m alright,” I said quickly, trying to pull off my poker-face. “You two enjoy yourselves.” I stormed of before she could protest and snickered to myself at my sneaky behavior. This was exciting!

After pushing myself past a couple of horny teenagers making-out and a bunch of people dancing, or should I say grinding, I had finally made my way over to the bar. I fixed my hair and pulled down my short dress while looking around for him. That was when I felt a couple of hands on my hips and someone breathing in the back of my neck. I guess he found me first. I felt shivers down my spine and tried to turn around to look at him, but the firm hands stopped me in my tracks and pushed my back closer to him instead. I smiled a little, thinking this must be one of his lame attempts of a joke, but my smile faded when he moved closer to my ear.
“Hey, gorgeous. Wanna dance?” he whispered in a low voice, while his hands traveled up my sides. I felt my whole body tense as I realized that this voice did not belong to the person I was looking for. I turned my head to the side so I could see his face. I was right. This was not Harry. What the hell!? “Shh! Baby, I just wanna dance,” he continued after seeing my shocked expression and began to move against me.

“Get the hell away from me,” I said trying to push myself from his embrace.

“Now aren’t you a feisty one?” He said amused without letting me go. I began fighting with his arms with no success.

“Fuck off! Seriously, let me go! I don’t want to dance you,” I continued, still trying to get away from him.

“You heard the lady! Let her go,” a familiar voice said close by over the loud music. I quickly looked up to see Harry staring at the guy behind me while holding drinks. He stepped closer when there was no reply, but kept his stern face on.

“Alright, alright! Sorry, dude!” the guy behind me said as he removed his hands from me and took a step back. I turned halfway around so I could look at him and raised my eyebrows. The creep rolled his eyes and walked away.

“You okay?” I heard Harry say and turned my head to finally see him looking at me.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Thanks for stepping in!” I said gratefully smiling up at him.

“What an arse,” Harry said while looking behind me and shaking his head.

“What an arsehole,” I said trying to mimic his voice to lighten his mood. Really, I was okay. I didn’t want some random stranger ruin my night.

“Making fun of me again are we, Miss Atkins?” Harry said as he turned his gaze back to me raising one eyebrow and flashing a cheeky grin.

“No, not at all Mr. Styles,” I said with the most posh accent I could pull off with a straight face. However, when Harry began to laugh at me I couldn’t hold it any longer and soon joined in.

“Well, would you care for a drink then?” Harry replied in the same manner as I had, which only made me laugh more. I nodded while taking the glass he was offering me.

“Cheers.”

We moved to the side of the club so we weren’t standing in the middle of the drunk-dancing crowd. After I had finished my drink I took a glance at my phone. “Am I boring you?” Harry said raising one eyebrow, still smiling.

“No! Don’t be silly,” I said placing my right hand on his chest, even though I had no idea why I did that. “I just remembered that I told Sarah and Ashton that I was only going to the ladies room. They must be wondering where I am by now…” I said as I removed my hand from him.

“We can go back? If you want to?” Harry said before taking one step closer to me. “Although, I’m fine just here with you,” he continued while taking my hand in his. I smiled at the last part and looked down at our hands. Shit! I thought to myself, as I quickly glanced around the club to see if anyone was looking and pulled my hand away. “I…” Harry began looking confused, but I cut him off.

“Harry… I told them I was going to the ladies room because I thought this…” I said pointing a finger at both of us, “whatever this is, was supposed to be on the down-low.” Even though I’d had way too much to drink tonight, I could still remember that time at Grimmy’s when Harry had told be to keep our little run-in in the bathroom as a secret. I had also promised Sarah to stay away from him, despite doing the exact opposite. Harry looked deep in thought when I looked back up at him, but gave me a reassuring smile when me eyes met his.

“Yeah, you’re right. That was probably not such a good idea…” He smiled while biting his lip. I was glad we were on the same page. Then his face lit up. “Want to get out of here? I mean… not like that. Sorry, that sounded really bad. What I meant was…” Did he just say what I think he was saying?

“Harry, it’s fine!” I said cutting him off yet again. “Let’s get out of here,” continued smiling up at him. “Just let me text the girls.” Leaving them behind was one thing, but leaving without telling them was out of the question.

“Okay. So, what are you going to say?” he said as he leaned against the wall.

I looked up from my phone and stared blankly at him. “Good question…” Harry snickered and held out his hand. I looked at him confused but handed over my phone.

“We’ll just say that you got kicked out of the club for being too drunk…”

“Nooo! Harry!” I grabbed my phone from his hands before he could type anything down. I laughed and looked down at my phone while shaking my head, “I can’t say that…”

“Why not?” Harry snickered amused.

“Well for starters, because I’m not that drunk,” I said as a matter of fact before looking down at my screen. “And secondly, because my phone just ran out of battery…” Shit.

“Problem solved then.” Okay?...

“I’m not following,” I said giving him a confused look. He looked very pleased with himself.

“You got kidnapped.” Again I could not hold a straight face.

“What? By who?” I said while laughing.

“By me. Come, we’re leaving.” Harry motioned for me to leave.

“What about the girls?”

“Liam and Ashton will make sure they get home safe. Besides, it’s not like Niall is going to leave your friend Sarah behind!” I guess that made sense. Well, apart from that last part.

“They’ll be fine, Emily.” Harry pressed, as I must have looked more confused than ever. He did have a point though. I could deal with the drama tomorrow.

“Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go,” I finally gave in.

---

On our way out of the club, Harry did not stop to say goodbye to any of his friends. He did stop however to speak to a buff looking man wearing a suit and a walkie-talkie. Must be one of the security guard’s of the club or something I thought to myself. “The car is right outside,” he said when he returned to my side.

“Outside? Wait. Harry, what about all the paps?”

“Shit, forgot about that,” he said as he thought to himself. “Here, put this on and cover your head,” he continued before handing me a black Burberry-coat. “It’s way too big, but it’s better than nothing. It’ll do,” he said eying me up and down.

“Okay…”

“Stay behind me,” he said giving me a reassuring smile before the door opened and all the flashes started go off. I quickly hid my head behind my right arm and covered my face with me left. Well, this did not look suspicious at all… I stayed behind Harry like he told me as we walked over to the black car waiting by the curb. Harry held the door for me to get in first and then himself before the car door was closed and we were off. Wow! That was quick. “You okay?” Harry said putting on his seat belt.

“Yeah!” I exhaled while doing the same thing. Once I turned back to face him I realized this was the first time we had been together alone since Grimmy’s party. Well, apart from the driver sitting in the front seat obviously, but I think he had other things to focus on. Like driving… Wait. “Hey, Mr. Kidnapper. Where exactly are you taking me?” I said trying to look like a scared child hiding in Harry’s big coat that smelled delicious might I add.

He laughed a little before thinking. “Where would you like to go?”

“Uhm, I think that defeats the point of you kidnapping me? I don’t think I’m supposed to have a say in the matter…” I said while snickering.

“Oh, in that case. It’s a surprise!” he continued now grinning, flashing all his teeth. I smiled back at him and shock my head while laughing at him. How is it that this bloody hot and good looking guy can turn into such a goofy child in minutes? “Making fun of me again are we, Miss Atkins?”

“I wouldn’t dare, Mr. Styles.”

“Good,” he said pointing his finger at me like a parent would. “But are you sure? I mean, I can take you home if you want to…” I suddenly felt my stomach tighten. No! What’s with all this?

“Not unless you want to take me home?”

“No, I’m just… Never mind,” he continued, letting go of the subject. Why was he suddenly interested in taking me home? We were having so much fun at the club. What happened to the cheeky Harry that I was with just a few moments ago?

“Then cut all this gentleman crap,” I said giving him a little smile before lowering my voice.

“You’re supposed to be kidnapping be, remember?”

“I am kidnapping you!” he than said way too loud making the driver give us a dirty look.

“Shh,” I said as we both giggled like teenagers and hid in the backseat. “Well, you suck at it.”

As soon as those words came out, Harry unbuckled by seatbelt, grabbed my wrists and pulled me closer to him while holding my hands behind my back like a hostage.

“Do I?” he whispered in my right ear before leaving a trail of kisses down the back of my neck, making my whole body shiver.

“No…” I pressed while trying not to laugh.

“That’s more like it,” Harry said before one of his hands disappeared. I laughed while I tried to move out of this really awkward position. “Stay still,” he said just as my eyesight disappeared. He covered my eyes with… a scarf?, and then let me sit in an upright position.

“Hey! I can’t see anything!”

“That’s the whole point, stupid,” he laughed to himself as I struggled, now not able to either move or see. “Where here,” he carried on, more to the driver than to me I think and then the car slowed down and stopped. Harry let go of my wrists as he opened up a door and got out of the car. Moments later I felt him pull my right arm, signaling for me to get out, and so I did. “Thanks for the ride, mate!” Harry said before I heard the door behind me close, and the car’s engine roaring to life again and leaving us behind.

“Harry, where are we?” I said while giggling and holding on to him. Walking in those heels was hard enough with eyesight. Now I was walking around drunk and blindfolded. I heard him laugh a little as I half-stumbled on something as we walked. After a few more seconds of giggling and squealing we stopped and Harry began to untie whatever he had used to blindfold me with.

“Welcome to my humble abode!” he said proudly before he turned to unlock the door and let me in.
