Two Faced

I woke up with a start. I almost forgot where I was. I woke up with the familiar scent of faint cologne. My head was rested against his naked chest, under the croak of his neck. My hand played with curls at the back of his neck. A familiar arm was wrapped around me holding me close to his heat radiating body. Our legs were tangled together with a blanket. Wait blanket? My eyes burst open and realised we were not on my bed but on the blue couch wrapped in blanket. I looked up Harry whose eye were slowly opening.

“What the hell is going on here?” a voice boomed.

My head spun in the direction of the voice and my eyes widened when I saw Louis. His blue eyes full of anger and betrayal. I looked back at Harry whose eyes had widened drastically. I shoved his arms away and scrambled to my feet brushing down my pyjamas.

“What’s going on?” Louis said stonily.

“Nothing Louis Jees.” Harry said slowly getting to his feet.

“Why were you sleeping next to my sister on the couch?!” Louis half shouted.

“I left something behind last night so I came back to get it, Julia couldn’t sleep so we ended up watching some tv and we fell asleep.” Harry explained coolly, not looking at me.

“That’s all that happened?” Louis asked suspiciously.

“Yes.” Harry said grabbing his shirt of the ground. I nodded quickly.

“What did you think happened?” I asked trying to sound innocent.

Louis relaxed noticeably. “Nothing. Why don’t you go away there’s an Ice hockey game we want to watch.” He raised an eye brow at me. “Scram.”

I shot him withering look but was beyond grateful to escape the room knowing that Louis thought that nothing was going on. Before I reached the top of the stairs I looked down and saw Harry looking up at me.

“That was close.” I mouthed.

“I know.” He mouthed back.

I walked into my bedroom door to see Eleanor flicking through a magazine. When she noticed my presence she abruptly closed the magazine and raised her eyebrows at me.

“Where have you been?” she asked. “I know you’re new at the whole sleepover thing but you actually have to stay in the same room as that person.” She teased.

“Sorry.” I apologised gathering my stuff for a warm shower that I was starving for.
“Well? Are you going to tell me where you went?”

“I went down stairs early this morning, Harry came over and we slept on the couch next to each other. That is all, no more questions.” And with that I walked into the bathroom slamming the door shut.

*****
*Monday morning*

I woke up to the sound of the signature Apple product alarm ringing from my iPhone. I reached down the sofa side and pressed the snooze button before collapsing back on to a bare, tattooed chest.

“Morning.” Said a raspy sleeping voice.

“Morning.” I replied sitting up properly.

Yesterday was pretty average. Harry and Louis went out of town with their teammates of ice hockey while Eleanor and I hanged out with Kelsey and Joseph at the mall. Eleanor slept our house again but I stayed up till Harry and Louis came home.

I was reading the If I Stay book that had recently came out in cinema inspiring me to read the series. Because I wasn’t going to be sleeping in my room tonight I forced El to take my bed. I sat in a deep, comfy, big, baby blue arm chair that sat in the corner of my room. A blanket was wrapped around my legs. I was nearly asleep but I forced myself to stay awake till they get home or I knew all I would get were nightmares.
I looked at my phone.
2 am it read. I groaned and looked over at Els who was fast asleep.

Soon I heard a car pull up on our driveway. I hoped out of the chair and ran to the window. Sure enough it was Harry and Louis. They said their goodbyes and to my dismay split up.

I grabbed my phone and quickly texted Harry.

To Harry:

Come over!

From Harry:

Your enthusiastic xx

To Harry:

Correction I’m tired.

From Harry:

Don’t take this the wrong way but I’m glad you didn’t fall asleep. Wouldn’t want you to have any more nightmares. Xx

To Harry:

Yeah me to. x
From Harry:

I’ll be over soon. Do you want me to come round to the front door? Xx

To Harry:

Yes, El is asleep in my bed.

From Harry:

Our bed

To Harry:

Our bed.

Harry came over in 20 minutes and I was so tired I could barely walk downstairs. When I opened the door Harry was standing there. When he saw me he broke out into a large dimpled grin and stepped towards me. Taking my neck in his hands he lent his face down close to mine.

“I missed you.” He whispered before kissing me softly at first but then more urgently. He shut the door then bought me back so he was leaning against it, leaving me pressed against him as he locked the door. He pulled away pressing a quick kiss to my lips before doing so.

“Are you tired?” he whispered.

“A little bit.”

He nodded and lifted me up into a bridal hold and carried me into the living room. I was so shocked at the gesture that I couldn’t even let out a squeal. He put me down softly before taking off his jumper and then t-shirt leaving him in his grey sweats.
My eyes ran greedily up and down his chest. Studying his tatts that I was oh so familiar with. I remember when I was 15 and Harry was 16 and he took off his shirt to reveal a bandage covering his first tattoo. I was absolutely livid. It was a star on his left arm. He told me sheepishly that it hurt a lot more then he thought it would and that anyone who said tattoos don’t hurt was a liar. I had laughed at that and asked who had said that he burnt red and said ‘Niall’ who to this day hasn’t got a tattoo. I smiled at the memory. Since then he had gotten tattoo after tattoo. I wasn’t sure if it was legal or not but I realised I didn’t want to know.

“What are you smiling about?”

I woke up from my thought and looked up and saw Harry lying flat over me, holding his weight on his two arms.

“I was just remembering the night when you got your first tattoo.” I said tracing the star.

He grinned ducking his head down to kiss my forehead. “I remember that night as well. You were so livid I thought you were going to kill me.”

I scoffed. “I was that bad.”

He raised his eye brow at me.

I sighed. “Ok well maybe I was but I heard that they were really painful and I didn’t want you in any pain.” I trailed off realising how dumb I sounded even if I was recalling the night from 2 years ago which was why I was surprised when Harry ducked down and kissed me softly.

“You were always worried about me, about everyone.” He said pampering kisses down my face to my neck and across my collarbone.


I gasped as he found my sweet spot and sucked and nipped it. “Except for Nicole and Ruby.”

He chuckled. “Yes and any other girl who I hooked up with.”

He ran a finger over my closed eye lids gesturing me to open them.

“You know they don’t compare to you.” He said seriously, looking me right in the eyes while I lay speechless staring up into his green ones. “They never will.” His kissed me once more before we fell asleep in each other’s arms.


Present time:

“I don’t want to go to school.” Harry moaned.

I laughed as I stood up. “No-one wants to go to school.”

He grabbed both of hands pulling me back to the sofa with a gentle force making me full on top of him.

“Then why don’t we just don’t go?”

I laughed as I reluctantly rolled off his torso. “Because I want to get a life. You can rely on your fancy hockey scholar ship I can’t.”

He sat up and ran a hand through his curls. I walked over and sat on his lap.

“How was yesterday?” I asked cupping his cheek while stroking it gently with my thumb.

“It was good.” He said wrapping his arms around me. “But spending it with you would of made it so much better.”

I felt my cheeks blush.

“What did you do yesterday?” he asked.

I shrugged. “Oh you know the usual I went down to the mall with Eleanor, Kelsey and Joseph.”

Harry snorted.

“What?” I asked confused.

“Joseph.” He said shortly.

I raised an eye brow.

“I don’t like how he looks at you.”

I felt my mouth drop open in shock. “Are you jealous?” Iasked incredulously. “Joseph is friend and besides I already have my eye one someone.” I said winking.

“Oh really? And who is he, if he’s a he?”

I smacked his arm. “He is and he has brown curly hair that he quiffs back. He’s got loads of tattoos and green eyes that you could die for.”

“Oh really?” Harry said with a twinkle in his eye. “Looks like I have a lot of competition.”

“It looks that way.” I whispered.

He gave me a slow passionate kiss as he ran his fingers through the ends of my hair.

“I better go before Louis wakes up.” Harry whispered leaning his forehead against mine.

“Ok.” I whispered clambering off his lap.

He grabbed his t-shirt and jumper and started to walk to the door before he left he turned back and winked. “I’ll see you in a bit ok?”

I nodded. “Ok.” I repeated as he shut the door shut behind him.

I rescued my phone from the bottom of the couch and switched it on. It was an hour till Harry would be back and Louis be up. I walked slowly upstairs as I tried to crack my stiff back. As I walked into my room and saw Eleanor was already up collecting her things. When she noticed me she grinned.

“So how was last night?” she asked suggestively grinning at me.

I rolled my eyes. “It was fine.” I said not wanting to share details.

She put her hands on her hips. “I want details Julia!”

I held a finger up to my lips. “Shhh Louis is just down the hall.”

She continued to stare me down.

“I’m not going tell you El.” I said going to my draws and grabbing out my favourite yellow sweater, my denim blue jeans and my white singlet.

She let out an exaggerated sigh. “Fine. I’m going go ok? I’m going to go and get my school stuff, I’ll see you there?”

I nodded. “Ok. Yeah I’ll see you at school.”


“Right see you later!”

“Wait Eleanor.” I said before she left my room. “Remember no-one can know about Harry and me alright? Not even Kelsey and Joseph.” I warned.

I was worried I felt my hands clam up as she studied me for a moment before she broke out into a grin. “Of course I will Jules no need for you to look so worried.” With one more laugh she laugh.

I loved her but how she was so cheery this early in the morning I will never understand. I headed to the bathroom and had a quick shower then I did minimal make-up of eye liner, mascara and my raspberry tinted lip balm. I then shrugged on my Outfit

I then went into the kitchen where sounds of laughter bounced off the walls.

I caught eye contact with Harry whose eyes immediately trailed up and down my body. He wore a white t-shirt and a red and blue short sleeved flannel paired with black skinny jeans and black boots but he was eating a bowl of my cereal! Fucking hell.

I walked up to him and snatched my bowl of cereal away from his grasp. “Get your own bloody cereal Harry!”

He chuckled. “Good morning to you to.”

I went over to where Louis was standing, put my cereal down and he embraced me in quick hug.

“How you going sis?”

“I’m good I was London?”

“Yeah it was really good.”

I grabbed my cereal and started scoffing it down as we would have to leave in 5 minutes.

When we got into the car the talk started with football scores.

“Hey Jules what happened to Eleanor?” Louis asked me in the mirror.

“Did you seriously just notice she wasn’t here?” I asked in shock.

“So what if I did?” Louis challenged.

“Then it would make you a dick.”

“How?” Louis exclaimed.

“Because you know she likes you so you muck around with her at parties then you pretend she doesn’t exist everywhere else!” I snapped.

Louis slammed the brakes on the car. “She likes me?” Louis asked wide eyed.

I gasped. “You like her!?”

“No of course not!” Louis said starting to drive again.

I narrowed my eyes but I let it go.

I caught Harry’s eyes in the wing mirror. Who gave me a quick smirk and wink before turning away. I wondered what school would be like. Would he flirt with every girl like usual? Would it be like the restaurant after dance? Because if so I wasn’t sure how I would take it.

“What’ s going on with you two?” Louis asked as he pulled up into the school.

“Nothing.” We both replied.

“Right.” He said as if doubting us.

As we got out of the car I grabbed my brown back pack and I slung it on my back. As usual a crowd gathered around the car.

Oh no. I thought to myself as I watched people crowd around Harry. He caught my eye and winked at me before shrugging Nicole off completely before walking over to Niall, Liam and Zayn. I smiled to myself as I walked into school.

****At Lunch*****
I fidgeted nervously in the lunch line as I waited to see if Harry would walk through the cafeteria doors.

“Your ridiculous you know.” A voice said quietly in my ear.

I jumped and spun around nervously to see El grinning at me.

“El don’t you know better than to sneak up on a girl who is with a guy who gets every single female attention in the school? Seriously I saw the librarian looking at him earlier and she’s 63!”

El held her hands up in defence. “Jeez sorry.”

I bought my hand up to my face. “No I’m sorry I’m just stressing that’s all.”

“Its ok but from what I’ve heard all of the girls have gone into a manic.”

“Why?” I asked confused.

Eleanor shrugged. “Who knows? Only one way to find out though.” She shrugged her head slightly too where all the tables were filled with most of the school.

I sighed. “I know your right.”

“Of course I am!” Eleanor flounced jokingly.

Once we got our food we made our way to a free table next to the most gossiping table in the school.

Kelsey and Joseph soon spotted us and made their way over to us.

“I don’t believe it. Not Harry Styles.” A girl named Angie whispered behind me.

I turned. “Don’t believe what?”

“Apparently Harry Styles has a girlfriend or is ‘taken’ whatever the hell that means.” The Angie’s friend said. I think her name was Rebecca.

“What?” I asked completely shocked. He did not tell the school about us.

“I know right.” Angie said as if she knew what was going through my mind right now.

“Who is he seeing?” I asked nervously.

Rebecca shrugged. By now all two tables were tuned into the conversation. “Who knows all we know is that every girl who has flirted with today he has brushed them off and then he finally said that he was seeing someone else and was off the market.”

A warm feeling spread through my stomach and I had to bite my lip to hold back a smile.

“What a shame.” I replied full of undetectable sarcasm.

“What has gotten into him?” Nicole said dropping into her usual seat.

Damn I forgot if Nicole and Ruby weren’t trying to hook up with every guy in the school mainly my guy then they were here gossiping.

“Got into who?” a girl asked.

“Harry. He keeps saying he’s taken but he doesn’t go out with people!” Nicole raged. I had to turn away so she couldn’t see my grin.

“You know what. He keeps saying he’s taken but I bet that whoever he’s with won’t be able satisfy his needs for long.”

I felt like a rock was being slowly dropped into my stomach and I felt El stiffen beside me. What was Nicole planning?

I looked over at Harry’s usual table and there he was sitting on the table while talking to Niall. He saw me looking and sent me a subtle wink. I smiled quickly and then turned away ignoring the buzz that I got from seeing him. Suddenly my phone buzzed.

From Harry:
Craving your lips so bad right now

From Harry:
Oh my god I wanna kiss you.

I covered my cheeks with my hair as I felt them blush.

To Harry:
You kissed me this morning

From Harry:
I always want to kiss you

From Harry:
Even a second after we pull away from a kiss I just want to kiss u again.

To Harry:
Well from what I hear your currently taken

From Harry:
That travelled fast. Is it ok I said that? I only did because the girls were flirting with me and it just came out, I didn’t mention your name thou

To Harry:
It evolving you of course it travelled fast! And im ok with it anything to stop girls from flirting with you.

From Harry:
Now who’s the jealous one?

From Harry:
Not loving the way he’s looking at you thou

To Harry:
Still apparently you then, I told you nothings there.

From Harry:
I believe you x I better go though before people put two and two together. Xx

I smiled at the three xs in the text.

To Harry:
Ok see you after school.


“So then it’s decided there will be a bet against who can get Harry to bed first.” I heard Nicole announce I was drawn out of my texting faze with Harry.

“What?” I gasped standing up and walking to the table. El immediately got up and stood by my side. El is so loyal.

“Your heard us Julia.” Nicole said narrowing her eyes. “Whoever gets Harry into bed first wins? Everyone who is participating has to give £20 to the cause. So far 20 girls have.” But to my dismay a pack of girls from another table excitedly dropped their £20 onto the pile.

Feeling somewhat brave I reached into my pocket and grabbed my £20 note. “I’m in.” I said dropping it onto the pile.

Nicole looked livid. “And why would Harry even consider going anywhere near you?”

Usually a comment like that would be a massive ego drop but I remembered that Harry’s taken status was because of me giving me a new confidence.

“I think we both know I have the better chance here as it’s me who he takes home every day and my brother is his best friend so he hangs out at our house most of the time.” I shot back.

“Do you know who he’s going out with?” Angie asked eagerly.

“No.” I said shortly.

“Are you going to try Eleanor?” Rebecca asked.

“Oh no I have no chance.” She said cheerily.

We then went back down but just before the bell went I noticed that Louis wasn’t at the table. Making sure that Nicole and her little posy was watching me I walked slowly over to Harry’s usual table. He noticed me when I stood between his legs. His eyes widened drastically. I lent forward letting our cheeks brush.

“Is Nicole watching me?” I whispered into his ear.

“Angel everyone’s watching you.” He whispered back at me. I could practically hear his smile.

“Good.” I replied stepping back but not before running a hand down from his shoulder to just under his pec. “Let them.” Then I left swinging my hips knowing he was watching after me.

Once I got out of the cafeteria I let out a deep breath.

“Julia I can honestly say I am shocked.”

I turned and saw El grinning at me.

“I swear I thought she was going to explode. You were smooth very smooth.”

I laughed. “Thanks well I wanted to make the first move.”

From Harry:
What the hell was that?

To Harry:
You’ll see, whats the big deal?

From Harry:
You may off gotten me a bit turned on and I’m wearing black skinnies.

I laughed.

“What is it?” El asked.

I showed her the text quickly and she bursted out laughing.

To Harry:
Sorry!

From Harry:
You’re not sorry

To Harry:
Not at all



“What is your plan exactly?” Eleanor asked.

I shrugged. “It’s not really a plan more of a fun plan. I mean it gives me the excuse to flirt with Harry if I want to and it means I can scare off any hopeful candidates.”

“You’re not worried that he would actually sleep with someone else are you?” El asked worriedly.

I paused for a minute. Would he? “No.” I replied truthfully. “But still it means I can have my fun. I’ve never flirted with anyone before so this should be good.”

El laughed. “I have to say I’m loving this side to you.”

“Me too.”
