Harrys POV
“Harry, you’re staring again” Nikki smiled, but kept looking straight ahead. I blushed and made a weird choking sound.
“Pfft” rushed out of my mouth with a puff of air. Nikki giggled her adorable laugh and turned her head to face me.
“No need to be embarrassed, I do it too” Nikki admitted and couldn’t stop the flow of blood rushing to her cheeks. That made me blush more. “Aww, is my wittle Harry blushing?” Nikki cooed, lightly pinching my cheek.
“No, you’re the one who’s blushing!” I objected, swatting her long, delicate fingers away from my pink cheeks.
“No..” Nikki blushed more. She looked back at the playground and continued to watch the little kids laugh and play. I smiled at her smile and scooted closer to her.
“Do you like kids?” I asked, staring at the side of her face.
“Love ‘em” her smile grew and she let out a happy sigh. “I love how carefree and innocent they are. They just like to have fun and they are really sweet” she gushed. I looked at the kids and admired how energetic and silly they were.
“Cute as a button, every single one of them” I said in a dorky voice.
“Yeah” Nikki said, laughing like a fool.
“You sound like Goofy from Mickey Mouse” I laughed loud. Nikki laughed at my loud laugh.
“Woo, now I won’t have to do sit ups for a week” Nikki joked once we stopped laughing. We laughed so hard that our stomachs started hurting and our faces were red.
“More like a month” I replied.
“Fine by me” Nikki smiled, looking into my eyes. It felt as if she was looking inside of me, inside of my heart. It was like she was tugging at the strings of my raw feelings for her. She reached up and tucked stray curls behind my ear, much like a guy would do to a girl. “I wish my curls were as luscious as yours” she mumbled, fiddling with some more stray curls. I leaned closer and nudged my nose against her cheek, making her turn her head to the side.
“I could say the same to you” I whispered into her ear and pecked her temple. She gasped and turned to face me. Our foreheads glued together, our eyes locking.
“Sure about that? These curls are hard to contain..” she said, glancing at my lips. I tilted my head slightly to the side and my lips-
“It’s time to get up!” the boys yelled, waking Zayn and I up. I groaned and threw my pillow blindly. This was just like Thanksgiving morning all over again.
“Time to get up!!” Louis yelled, grabbing my arms and swinging them around. Niall played his guitar as he jumped over us. I squinted my eyes at them and struggled against Louis hold.
“Get up!!” Liam yelled, his feet dangerously close to my head. They kept singing loud and annoyingly. There is no way I’m getting anymore sleep.
“Time to get up!” I yelled, sitting up in my bed. Liam, Niall and Louis cheered and I slumped back in bed. “Now get out” I grumbled.
“Harry” Louis teased.
“I’m up” I grumbled and shooed them away. They smiled and left.
“I’m gonna kill them” Zayn mumbled, his eyes still closed. I chuckled and agreed with him. The reason why Zayn was sleeping in the same bed as me was because Zayn and I had one of our serious talks. You know, those bro talks you share with a good friend.
Zayn lately has been thinking about Perrie and I don’t know what to do about my feelings. I admit, I like Nikki, but I’m not sure if I want to admit that to anyone else. I don’t even want to admit it to myself but I do because I know that I can’t lie to myself. I didn’t talk to Louis because I already had a talk like this with him and I know that Louis would give me sass about dating her after I was done explaining to him. That, and Zayn came to me about his problems, so I thought that it was only fair to share some of mine.
It was a little weird because Zayn would talk to Niall or Liam about that kind of stuff, but instead he came to me. Maybe he knew that I would somehow understand him, and maybe he knew that I wanted to talk to him about my problems. I told him how I love Liam, he’s my mate, but I can’t help but get frustrated that he’s so close to the girl I like. Not to mention that he likes the same girl I do. I don’t mean to be rude to him and I don’t mean to be jealous, but I can’t help it. I’ve never resisted a girl before, and by the feeling of it, it’s not going well.
Zayn told me how he’s thinking of Perrie again. She just won X Factor not too long ago, so it’s been crazy with all the things that came out about Little Mix. They released their new album and are already planning to have a concert in a few months. He sees her all over the internet and tv..poor lad.
Louis went to Liam and Nialls room and gave me and Zayn privacy to talk. We stayed up really late (4:30 A.M. to be exact) and in the end, Zayn and I ended up falling asleep and I was greeted once again by my dreams about Nikki. I dream about her more and more lately, and it always ends with me about to kiss her and one of the boys waking me up. Or, I wake myself up by falling out of bed or bumping into Louis.
“Harry! ZAYN! I don’t hear any movement! Get up you lazy bums, it’s New Years!” Louis yelled from behind the door.
“Lou, don’t get your panties in a knot!” I yelled back, slipping out of bed with Zayn. Just as Zayn was about to open the door, he stopped and looked over at me.
“Thanks Harry, for the talk and all. Everything will be alright with you and Nikki” Zayn said. I opened my mouth to speak, but I wasn’t sure what to say. “No problem” Zayn smiled and opened the door.
“Yeah..” I sighed and looked down.
“Oi, curly. It’s 1:45, in the afternoon. We have to be at Nikki’s by 8, just a reminder” Louis said, popping his head through the door once Zayn was out of the room and walking down the hall. “That gives you plenty of time to get ready for you know who” Louis said, wiggling his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes and strode to the bathroom.
Nick is apart of student government at school and since he’s in student government, he has to be at every event they hold. Today, the Junior class President at school is throwing a New Years Eve party and student government is in charge of decorating and advertising the Spring dance. The only people who are allowed to go are Juniors, Seniors, and anyone who they bring with them.
Originally, Nikki, Anjelica and Nick were invited to come celebrate New Years at our house, but when Nick found out about the party, he didn’t want to go without Nikki, so Nikki agreed to go with him. And Anjelica wants to watch out for Nikki, so shes going also. Me and the boys love each other, but hanging out without them on this special day wouldn’t be as fun as it could be, so we decided to go too.
I turned on the shower and stripped out of my clothes. Instead of turning the water hot, I turned it cold. Normally, I would bathe in warm water, but this past week, I’ve been thinking about Nikki a lot. The hot water helps forget, or used to help forget. The hot water brings warm, lip locking thoughts to mind and I don’t want to think about that. I stepped into the cold water and shivered. No thoughts about Nikki, good start. I focused on the cold water running through my hair and down my back, cooling my hot skin. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back. Suddenly, thoughts of kissing Nicole in the cold rain came to mind. I sighed at the thought.
“Urggg” I huffed and quickly finished washing myself. I hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my shivering body. When I checked the time, I didn’t realize that I was in the shower for an hour. I must have thought longer than I imagined. Within the next 5 hours, I changed, cleaned, ate, and played some games with the boys.
Just remember, no drinking and driving, don’t leave each other alone, and be back by 1 o’clock, got it?” Simon said to us in his fatherly tone.
“Ah Simon, we got this. Have a good New Years” Louis said, lightly shaking Simons shoulder. Simon smiled and sighed.
“Happy New Year boys” he said, looking at all of us.
“Happy New Year” we smiled at him.
“Get a move on, no need to be late” Simon shooed us out the front door. We all piled into the van and headed off to Nikki’s. When we got there, we quickly greeted Nikki and Anjelica and then followed Anjelicas car to Nates house, the junior class president. Nick was already at Nates house since Nick was supposed to help decorate.
The whole ride there, Louis would honk at Anjelica and jokingly yell crazy things at her. I chuckled when Anjelica flipped him off. It took about 20 minutes to get to Nates house and it took 10 minutes to get to Nikkis, so in total, it takes 30 minutes to get back to Simons. We pulled up in front of a big house surrounded by cars. Music pounded in the house and few people lingered around in front yard.
“Don’t drink from the red cups” Anjelica sternly told Nikki as we walked up to the door.
“Yes” Nikki obediently replied and nodded.
“Good, and don’t take any pills, even if your head hurts or people say that its aspirin” Anjelica instructed Nikki. I thought that it was strange because wouldn’t Nates parents be home? Surely parents wouldn’t let their child do this. Zayn and Liam seemed to be thinking the same thing.
“The boys and I got ya girls, it’s all good” Niall said, pulling her to his side and tenderly kissing her temple. Anjelica smiled and nodded.
“Yay! My only friends are finally here!” Nick cheered as we walked into the house. People were dancing and drinking from red cups. The air was stuffy and hot and it was really loud in the house. Balloons were lying on the floor or floating up to the ceiling and there was confetti all over the place. Some people were wearing New Years hats and glasses.
“We aren’t your only friends” Nikki giggled and shook her head.
“Well, you’re my only friends that I actually hang out with” Nick said, ushering us further into the house.
“Where are Nates parents?” Liam asked over the music.
“Nates parents are at a business party and will be gone the whole weekend for some new launch company thing. His Grandma is supposed to be watching him for today and the weekend, but he tricked her into going home for the night and to just check on him over the phone during the weekend” Nick explained and I nodded in understanding. In England, wild parties were thrown when parents were gone on business or something.
“Hey you” someone shouted over the music and pulled me away from my friends.
“Taylor?” I said, looking down at her.
