An Unexpected Turn

After my lunch, I decided to text Hannah.

Melanie: Hey, just wanted to let you know I arrived in London. The hotel is INCREDIBLE.
Hannah: No way? Send pics of your room! I'm jelly.
Melanie: lol ok I will later. Welp guess what? Pretty sure Harry has a gf.
Hannah: Ooooh... How do you know?
Melanie: Niall told me we're having dinner with the guys and "their girlfriends".
Hannah: Well, you have Niall and this is just another sign you need to let the Harry thing go.
Melanie: I know, I know... I hope I can handle seeing him tonight. I don't even know this guy I don't know why I'm nervous.
Hannah: Well, stop it! You have Niall, don't ruin this.
Melanie: :-\

-.-.-

It was finally approaching six. I hadn't seen Niall yet, but I was eager to. I really missed him and couldn't wait to get him all to myself. I was about to text him when I heard three knocks on my door. It must be him.

Opening the door I see Niall standing there. Black skinny jeans, tan suede boots, and a button down white shirt. I'm glad he was dressed casually as I wasn't sure if I was dressed appropriately.

"Babe." is all I say before launching myself at him. His arms wrapped around my waist as we kiss.
"I see you've missed me." he says when we pull apart and he has the cutest smile on his face.
"I have. I hope you have, too."
"You have no idea." Niall says and then starts to give me lots of sweet little pecks on my lips.
"Are you going to come in or are we leaving?" I wonder.
"I would love to come in but the guys are already on their way to the restaurant."
"Well, then let's go!" I say and we head towards the elevator.

-.-.-

Niall drove to the restaurant, I'm glad we didn't have a driver. I'm not too fond of having a driver, it seems too formal for my liking. The restaurant wasn't far away at all, perhaps only 5 blocks away. Now that we're here, I can't help but notice this place was different. It was called Galvin at Windows and it didn't seem like your typical restaurant.

"Um, Niall, why is this restaurant so high up?" I ask as Niall gives the keys to the valet guy.
"You'll see, honey. I hope you like it."

We go up the elevator many, many floors. 28 of them to be exact. When we exit, I'm stunned at what I see. The whole place was made of windows overlooking London. It was amazing, but it made me a little dizzy.

We walk to our left and then I see what is going to be our table. It was big and round next to the window overlooking the city. It seems most were already there. Most meaning everyone except Harry.

"Guy's you remember Melanie." Louis and Liam nod with a smile. Both get up to greet me with a kiss on the cheek.
"Great seeing you guys again." I say.
"This is my fiance Norah." Liam introduces me to this petite brown eyed girl. She seemed sweet.
"And this is Sarah my girlfriend." Louis says as this gorgeous blonde girl stands up to greet me.
"So nice to meet you girls!." I say.
"We're waiting on Harry and Jordan, late as always." Liam complains before suggesting we look at the menu.

They served French cuisine here, my favorite! I was glad we got here before Harry. I really needed to shake this feeling off and enjoy my time with Niall. I was discussing the menu with Niall when I heard his voice and I suddenly felt very nervous.

"Sorry we're late, mates." Harry's raspy voice is unmistakable.
"About time!" Liam says as Harry takes a seat across from me with him was his girlfriend.
"This is Melanie, you remember her right?" Niall tells Harry.
"Of course!" he says. "Melanie this is my girlfriend Jordan."
"Hey." is all Jordan says.

She was nothing like the others girlfriends. I didn't feel like judging, but she was highly under dressed for the restaurant. It's not like we were at a black tie restaurant, but we weren't at IHOP, either. She was wearing jean shorts, a black tank and converse. Her brown hair in a messy bun. Harry had his usual attire of black skinny jeans, black plain shirt and suede boots. His long hair in a bun.

Fuck. His hair is in that irresistible bun.
FOCUS, MELANIE.

I suppose being at the same table as Harry wasn't as hard as I thought. Not much interaction from either him or Jordan. They mostly kept to themselves. As far as the rest, they were all very nice with me. Liam was very interested in my psychology major.

I hadn't paid attention too much to the window next to Niall as being at big heights makes me a bit dizzy. It was a mistake when I looked over after both Harry and Niall excused themselves to the restroom. Without Niall blocking my view, I felt quite dizzy to see down towards Hyde Park.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" Niall asks, sitting down in his seat.
"I get dizzy at great heights." I say trying to keep it short.
"What can I do for you?" he asks very concerned.
"Nothing, babe. I should just go splash some cold water on my face. I'll be right back." I stand up and head towards the bathroom hoping I don't fall.

I can see I'm approaching the bathrooms when I see Harry exit the men's. I freeze in my spot. Not sure if Harry or the dizziness is to blame.

"Oh, hey." Harry says to me with a smile that quickly fades when he notices I don't respond. He starts coming over to me when suddenly I begin feeling faint and start to collapse.

I don't know how he did it, but Harry made it just in time to catch me. The last thing I felt was Harry's arms around me.

Notes

I hope everyone enjoys the update. I wonder what will happen next!

Sadly, my laptop is crapping out on me so I won't update again until I get a new one. My husband wants to buy me one this weekend so I hope we have time to pick one up.
