Foreign Exchange

Nicole's POV
Sunday morning rain is falling

"Ugh" both Harry and I groaned in unison. OF COURSE this would happen.

"Ten bucks that it's Louis" I said.

"No doubt that it is him” Harry said, almost rolling his eyes.

Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable.

“In that case, I can ignore it” I said, and Harry mimicked the smirk on my face.

“Ignore Louis? He wouldn’t be too happy about that. He probably won’t even believe me when I tell him” Harry teased. My phone then stopped ringing.

“Think he got the hint?” I asked.

“You know, by now you could have just kissed me” Harry said, and leaned away. “Seems to me that you’re trying to avoid kissing me” Harry said, playfully pouting, thus driving me insane by how kissable he was right now.

“I’m not avoiding it!”

“Then you’re stalling” Harry smirked and leaned on the doorway behind him.

“The guy is always supposed to make the first move” I pointed out, but scooted closer to him. Harry opened his legs so I could sit right in between them.

“And who said that the girl can’t make the first move?” Harry said, raising his eyebrow at me.

“Says every romantic movie, ever!” I said, throwing my hands in the air.

“Not everything is like a romantic movie” Harry said.

“Well it should because it’s cute when the guy surprises the girl with flowers, or when he leaves little sticky notes to her or when-” Harrys hands slowly made their way up to my face, gently cupping my cheeks.

“Or?” Harry said, looking intently into my eyes.

“O-or when..” My voice trailed, trying to remember what I was going to say, but Harry was making it hard. “When they do sweet things like kiss the girls forehe-” I almost gasped when Harry brought my head down and sweetly kissed my forehead. His warm lips against my forehead made me feel so fuzzy inside, it was almost scary.

“Go on..” Harry instructed, kissing my forehead again.

“Or when he has to always hold her hand” I placed my hand over Harrys that stayed planted on my cheek. “Or when he puts flowers in her hair..” I looked up and saw that Harry was really taking what I was saying to heart.

“What about telling them that they’re beautiful?” Harry said. I softly smiled and tilted my head, putting more weight on his hand.

“All the time” I whispered.

“Well, I better start now. Nicole, you’re beautiful” Harry said. I swear, I was going to have to call the fire department because my red cheeks were going to set Harrys hand on fire. I struggled to form words.

“I-you-ah...” I blinked hard “Well, then I-”

Sunday morning rain is falling

“I’m going to kill him” Harry said, and the mood changed completely.

“Guess he can’t be ignored” I grumbled and slipped away from Harry. It definitely was an understatement when I thought how it was nice being close to Harry. It was more than nice, it was fantastic, stupendous, magical. Cliche, but we all know we feel that way around someone we deeply like, thus, not really making it cliche. Sometimes, cliche and cheesy is good. I loved being close to Harry.

I stood up and offered my hand down to Harry. He placed his hand in mine and I let out a small yelp when he pulled me back down. “Har-” Harry pressed his lips to mine sweetly before pulling away and standing up, leaving me on the ground completely stunned. He walked over to my backpack and quickly found my phone in the front zipper.

“I’m sorry, Nicole can’t be reached right now” Harry answered and hung up, tossing my phone behind him on my bed.. I stared at him with wide eyes as he walked back over to me and lifted me up. Harry walked forward, his hands on my waist as I walked backwards.

Immediately after my back hit the hallway wall, Harry attached his lips to mine. My eyes closed and my hands clutched the front of his shirt. He may not have been my first kiss, but man it felt like he was. Harry definitely has had experience because his lips were skilled, unlike mine. He tenderly moved his lips against mine and cupped the side of my face, firmly holding me in place.

But the thought of Harry being experienced meant that he was kissing other girls, and the thought of that left me in and out of the kiss. I wasn’t fully focused, but I could still feel the pressure of his lips. He’s probably kissed tons, I thought. And they all were probably more experienced than you.

Sunday morning rain is falling

Our lips separated and our heavy breathing was so loud, I almost couldn’t hear my phone continue to ring. I opened my eyes, but didn’t see much for my eyes were glazed over in bliss, but also insecurity. Harry pecked my lips before walking back over to my phone. I was surprised at how he wasn’t annoyed.

“Hello?” Harry answered while I just stood there. “Oh, hey Anjelica” Harry said. He walked over to me and held out my phone to me. “It’s your sister” he said and I slightly shook my head to snap out of it. I leaned off of the wall took my phone from Harry.

“Hey sis” I answered, looking at Harry.

“Hello Mrs. M.I.A., where have you been?” she answered.

“Just with Harry” I said, and Harry winked at me, causing me to gulp.

“Yeah, I know, but exactly where” my sister said.

“At ours” I replied, glaring at Harry for seductively winking at me. That boy doesn’t understand that I become a mess when he does things like that.

“Well, explains why you weren’t at school” Anjelica said and I let out a short, nervous laugh. “Just use protection.”

“Anjelica!” I scolded and Harry chuckled. “That’s not funny and we weren’t doing anything” I said, and then thought about Harry and I’s kiss. Well...I mean that counts actually...Harry blew me a kiss and I pretended to smack it out of the air. “How did you know that I wasn’t at school?” I asked, looking at slightly swollen, pink lips.

“Louis has been blowing up my phone. Apparently he has something important to tell you, anyways, that’s not really why I’m calling.”

“Okay, then why are you?” I asked and leaned my back against the wall. Harry placed both of his hands next to either side of my head and stared at me.

“I won’t be coming home tonight” Anjelica said and I gained some random courage as Harry kept looking at me. Like..I wanted to tease him just as much as he was teasing me.

“Why?” I asked and winked at Harry.

“Because Heather’s-you remember Heather right?” she said and I snaked my free hand into his hair.

“Yep” I replied and smirked as I played with Harrys hair. When I started to lightly scratch his scalp, his eyes almost went to the back of his head. He really likes his hair to be played with.

“Well, her boyfriend broke up with her, so I’m going to stay with her and do what friends do when their friend gets their heart broken” my sister said, and I noticed the mischief in her voice.

“Um, eat ice cream and cry?” I asked and let my hand drop from Harrys hair. Harry pouted and I made a kissy face at him. Who knew that Harry and I would be like this to each other. Usually, I wouldn’t be so..confident? I don’t know. I wouldn’t be making kissy faces at him. But I like it, it’s fun.

“Wrong oh innocent, young one” my sister said and Harry started to lightly trace my jaw with his fingers. I blushed and looked at his shirt instead of his face.

“Don’t do anything illegal” I said and Harry leaned in and kissed my shoulder. I got shivers and shyly scooted away. Ah, there’s the shy, not confident me again. Where did you go?

“We wouldn't get caught if we did something illegal anyways. Oh, and answer Louis’ calls, okay? He’s going insane. Bye, give Harry a kiss for me” She said the last part really loud, probably so Harry could hear.

“Shut up” I said before hanging up. I tried to stop blushing, I’ve done that way too much in one day.

“You heard her” Harry said, wiggling his eyebrows at me. I rolled my eyes before looking at my phone.

The two missed calls were indeed Louis and I decided to call him back before he called me. I guess you could say that I was avoiding kissing Harry. Heck yes, I wanted to kiss him, but the insecurity deep inside makes me hesitant. I’ve been waiting for the longest time to kiss him and now that it has happened, it definitely was amazing, if not better, than what I expected, but it also has brought up some questioning thoughts. I guess I never really thought about Harry with another girl, besides Taylor.

Ugh.

“Who are you calling?” Harry asked.

“Louis” I said as I held my phone to my ear and tried to maneuver around Harry, but he wouldn’t let me. “Harry” I said, giving him a warning look. He just leaned down and kissed me and I let him.

“Finally you twats!” Louis answered the phone and when I tried to pull away, Harry leaned in and kept on kissing me. Man, this boy was determined. “Hello?” Louis asked and finally, Harry pulled away.

“Hey Lou” I answered breathlessly.

“What were you two doing? Snogging?!” Louis said, and I don’t know if he was joking or not. I didn’t know whether to lie or not.

“Louis, my sister said that you had something important to tell us” I said, dodging his question completely. Harry gently pushed some curls that got in my face and tucked them behind my ear. I gave him a small smile in return.

“Yes! Guys you need to come back sooner!” Louis shouted.

“Ow Louis, inside voices” I said, holding the phone away from my ear.

“Simon called and said that he’ll be coming home early, around the time that you said you two would be coming back!” Louis continued to shout. Harry sighed in frustration and took my phone.

“We’ll be back on time” he said.

“It’s almost four right now. I’m giving you two hours. And I mean it” Louis said. His voice so stone cold, you’d have to agree.

“Yeah, I got it. Bye” Harry mumbled and hung up.

“What’s wrong?” I asked as Harry handed me back my phone. He seemed upset. Well, I mean I was a little bit too. I wanted to spend more time with Harry.

“I was going to take you too the ice rink today..” Harry said.

“We still have time, silly” I said, smiling hugely at him. He really wanted to skate with me.

“Really?” he asked.

“Harry, it doesn’t take long to get there, and we don’t have to skate for three hours. We can skate for an hour and then...” I pondered for a second before smirking “And you can take me for frozen yogurt like you were supposed to.”

Harry beamed and grabbed my arm. “Let’s go!” Harry practically yelled and started dragging me to the front door.

“W-wait! I need my shoes and keys! Oh and money!” I said, trying to resist his pulling.

“I’ll get them for you” Harry said and stopped pulling me. He left me standing by the door as he went to go get my things. I sighed and leaned against the wall. This boy will be the end of me.

Zayns POV
“Thanks for hanging up!” Louis yelled at his phone.

“It’ll be okay Lou” Liam said “Harry’s with Nikki, and Nikki is a very responsible, reliable girl. She’ll get him here on time” Liam insisted.

“But the van! He may get it here on time, but what if there’s like a dent or something?” Louis whined and Liam patted his shoulder.

“Harry isn’t that wreckless” Liam said.

“I’m betting you five bucks right now that they’ve kissed” I said to Nick. Nick looked at me sitting next to me in the backyard and thought about it.

“But Nikki would totally chicken out” Nick said.

“It’s not like she hasn’t kissed before” I said, referring to Liam.

“So? You know how awkward Nikki is. Not to mention shy around him” Nick said.

“I say she didn’t” Niall joined in. Louis was too busy complaining to Liam to notice our conversation. “I mean..I don’t want to be mean..but..it’s just that..”
“What is it Niall?” I asked, encouraging him. He picked at the grass before looking back up at us.

“Harry’s to scared to do something like that” Niall said.

“I’m sure he’s grown some balls, and he got her to ditch” I shrugged and Nick threw a grape at me. I opened my mouth and chewed on the grape when it landed in my mouth.

“I’m betting ten bucks” Nick said, popping a grape in his mouth. I smirked at him.

“Promise?” I said. Holding up my pinky. Nick nodded and took my pinky with his.

“Hey Nick, are you spending the night?” Liam asked, standing up with Louis.

“Uh, I dunno” Nick shrugged and I shook my head. He’s so cute.

“I’m making brownies for Simon when he comes back, you know, he likes that stuff. So I just wanted to know how much I should make” Liam eyes him and Nick blushed. The last time we had brownies, Nick ate more than half of them. We were all surprised that Niall didn’t get to the brownies first.

“Well, if you’re making brownies..” Nick said and we all chuckled.

“I take it that you’re staying” Liam smiled at him and patted his shoulder “Always good to have you over.”

“Thanks” Nick smiled and Liam walked inside with Louis.

“I miss my girlfriend” Niall suddenly said, pouting.

“Oh don’t fret. You’ll see her tomorrow” I said, nudging him with my foot.

“I’m going to go bug Louis” Niall randomly said, suddenly becoming childish and scurried off to the house, leaving Nick and I outside.


“Where do you think Harry is taking Nikki?” Nick asked, rolling a grape in his palm.

“I’m not sure, but I’m sure he’ll think of something totally obvious, yet not expected. I’m sure Nikki will tell you and Harry will tell me” I said, and opened my mouth as Nick threw another grape at me.
