Kismet

Georgie just looked at the stranger, "Y..you're friends with Niall?" she asked almost feeling like she shouldn't have told him about her sister having a crush on Niall but she hadn't known when she did that he was friends with the man. She had been so clueless and god she could be stupid sometimes.

"I don't know whether to be ashamed that Niall doesn't talk about me much to pretty girls or be glad that he doesn't," the man sighed and Georgie just laughed feeling a bit of her worries ease as he did.

"Oh I have never talked to Niall before," Georgie spoke trying to maybe make him feel better. "My sister Montana probably has but she never tells me much and anyway I keep getting him confused with someone else she knows," she rambled and then stopped. "I really should probably shut up and stop talking to someone I don't know and I really need to stop telling you my sister's business."

The man laughed as he looked at Georgie and she felt herself blushing as their eyes locked. It was almost as if he could see into her soul and she didn't like that. "I'm Louis," he finally spoke before extending his hand out to her. "And who would the pretty girl with the sister named Montana be?"

Again Georgie blushed more but she took his hand, "Georgia," she answered as she gave him a smile. "But you can call me Georgie not George. My sister calls me George and I hate it," she said knowing Montana only did it to annoy her and Georgie let her continue to do it because deep down she liked her sister doing it.

"It's nice to meet you Georgie," Louis nodded as he shook Georgie's hand. As he moved his hand away Georgie did her best to look anywhere but his eyes. "But I think George is quite suiting for you."

Georgie shook her head no at his words, "George is horrible for me," she told him as she looked away from him finally. "It's a boys name and it sounds so old."

Louis laughed at Georgie's words and Georgie swore she could probably listen to his laugh all the time, "Maybe you just have an old soul George."

When he called her George she crossed her arms and looked towards the counter seeing that her sister and Niall were no longer there. At least that meant maybe Montana was back there getting the tattoo she wanted done and maybe they could leave because talking to Louis was unnerving her more than she cared to admit out loud.

"Looking for ways to get out of talking to me George?" Louis asked and Georgie turned to look at him as she kept her arms crossed.

"Honestly if you keep calling me George, then yeah." Georgie admitted as she nodded her head seeing Louis just smile like a damn Cheshire cat. "You find this amusing don't you?" she asked him as her eyebrow arched.

Louis nodded as he continued to smile, "Maybe I just like pissing you off or people in general," he said as he inched closer to her and Georgie moved a bit away. "But I'll stop calling you George for now."

Before Georgie could reply back to Louis she felt a vibration in the pocket on her pajama pants and she reached inside pulling out her phone. Swiping the screen to unlock it she smiled seeing a text from Liam which she opened to reveal a picture of him and Harry wearing some weird disguises at some store.

Shaking her head she typed a quick reply.

Where are you two goofs?-G

After she hit send she looked up to see Louis staring at her and she raised an eyebrow wondering why he was staring now.

"Your boyfriend texting you?" Louis finally asked breaking the silence between them.

Georgie shook her head, "Just a friend," she said knowing that was all Liam was to her. "Trust me I'm not really his type. You'd be more his type then me," she smiled as she heard her phone go off again and when she looked down she wasn't surprised to see that it was a message from Liam again.

Store near Haz's. Haz says come please.-Li

Biting her lip Georgie continued to look down as she typed her reply.

Can't. With Montana at the tattoo place. M wanted to see her boy crush-G

After hitting send again she looked back at Louis as she put her phone away, "Sorry about that. Friends can be persistent," she said hoping that Liam would stop texting her now, especially since he knew and could tell Harry she couldn't make it.

"Trust me I get that," Louis said as he nodded. "Niall can be a pain in the ass when it comes to texting me constantly," he said as he gave her a smile that Georgie swore melted her right on the spot. She really hated how weak a practical stranger was making her feel but he was attractive. He was so damn attractive.

"My sister seems to think Niall is amazing," Georgie reminded him. "I guess I get it," she sighed knowing from what she had seen tonight that he seemed okay looking though in her opinion Zayn was a lot better looks wise but in the end whoever Montana ultimately chose would be up to her. Georgie was just glad it wasn't her in that position of having to choose between two guys.

Louis laughed at that, "A lot of girls seems to think Niall is amazing," he said before shaking his head. "I can't quite figure out why though. Maybe it's his killer fake Irish accent."

Georgie had opened her mouth to reply to that but before any words could come out she looked up as the door to the tattoo place opened and in walked Liam and Harry.

"I tried to stop him," Liam spoke up as Georgie just gave them both weird expressions. "But Haz just had to see you. Said he hadn't seen you in a week or better."

"It hasn't been a week.." Georgie started but stopped when she realized that yeah it had been a week. Summer break had started a week ago and she had, had the last of her classes at college and she had seen Harry then but then work at the bakery had kept her busy and she really hadn't had time to see much of Harry.

Harry pouted slightly as he sat down on the other side of Georgie, ignoring Louis, "Has too been a week," he argued as he shrugged his shoulders. "Just need my weekly dose of good ole George," he spoke before dropping the pout and smiling.

It was when Harry called her George that Georgie realized why she hated the name so much. It reminded her that all Harry would ever see her as is George. Just George, one of the boys and someone he needed a weekly dose of.

"So wait, he can call you George but I can't?" Louis asked though his tone came off teasing.

Georgie turned back to Louis as she offered him a smile, "Sorry Louis, I guess it comes with being a friend since we were babies. I still hate the nickname but only tolerate it from two people."

"Yeah Louis," Harry spoke inserting himself into the conversation and his tone came off rather defensive. If it had been a weapon it would have been a knife that could wound. "Comes with being a friend since we were babies."

"Oh down tiger," Louis muttered as he rolled his eyes before sizing Harry up or at least it looked that way to Georgie. "I wasn't being mean to Georgie girl here. She and I were actually having a nice discussion before you two showed up and interrupted it."

Georgie felt Harry inching closer to her and she sighed making herself force a smile, "It's nothing Harry. He was just teasing me," she said as she shook her head before turning to face Harry.

"Do you even know him?" Harry asked her as he raised an eyebrow though before Georgie could speak he started again. "I mean obviously you do because you know his name but..well I don't know.." Harry sighed almost giving up though he kept up whatever defensive stance he had, like he too was sizing up Louis much like Louis had done him.

"I just met him tonight if that's what you mean," Georgie explained as she kept smiling though it became less forced. "But he's nice enough and he wasn't being mean."

Harry just stared at Georgie for the longest time before speaking. "If you say so," he muttered out though he didn't sound like he believed her. "Cause I swear if he was being mean I'll.."

"You'll what?" Georgie asked him as she laughed now. "Steal his cat if he has one? Pinch him? I know you won't fight him because you're too nice for that."

"Couldn't even fight me when you thought I was stealing Georgie as your friend," Liam piped in from where he stood.

Georgie shot Liam a look of surprise at his words, "Harry may have been pissed Li but he never tried to fight you."

"Yes he did," Liam nodded his head and his firmness shocked Georgie slightly. "He threatened to the day he forgave you and then he chickened out and made me promise never to tell you and the rest was history and we all became friends."

"Well you just broke that promise," Harry muttered as he turned to Liam briefly and fake glared before looking back at Georgie. "Enough talking though. I didn't come here to talk over senseless things. I came to ask if you wanted to come to IHOP with Liam and I and then we can all go back to my place and watch movies. I promised Liam he could pick the movie which I'm probably already regretting."

Georgie went silent after Harry's offer though she wanted to say yes but she was here with Montana even if it seemed Montana had really just used this outing and her coming along as an excuse to be near Niall and well also partly because she kind of could sit there and talk to Louis for hours if she had the chance.

Biting her lip she turned to look at Louis briefly, watching as he cocked his eyebrow up and gave her a glance.

"Don't look at me Georgie girl," Louis spoke as he shook his head. "Your friend Harry asked you, not me, and I really don't feel like riling the tiger up since he seems tame right now."

Exhaling loudly Georgie finally nodded her head, "I'll come with," she agreed and it was after she got those words out that she watched as Harry stood up and started pulling on her and she laughed though she obliged and stood up before turning to look at Louis. "Tell Montana where I am," she called out as Harry began to usher her outside.

"So..I think Georgie has a crush on that Louis guy," Liam teased right after they were outside and the door shut.

"I do not," Georgie shot back, her cheeks turning pink because Liam could obviously see right through her and knew she had some crazy slight crush on some dude she'd probably never see again.

Harry shook his head as he slung his arm around Georgie as if he was protecting her though she had no clue what from. "George doesn't have a crush on him," he said as he walked down the sidewalk now in step with Georgie. "He's too much of a snob for her and not to mention he has to get through me first and he'd never pass my test on criteria to date my best friend."

Listening to Harry, Georgie forced a smile as she felt a pang of sadness when Harry called her his best friend because she wanted to be more still and it'd never happen and apparently he'd never let her date other boys either because she half suspected no one would pass his criteria.
