Maybe It's You.

~ Alex's POV ~


“So how long have you known Niall ? You guys seem quite nice together.” Harry said. We'd decided to stop at some diner near the movie theatre and wait until the rain would calm down a little before heading out, so here I was sitting with Harry at almost 12 in the morning at some old diner.

“Oh gosh no, he's my best friend basically here.” I said as I made a funny face at him. I quickly brushed off any thought of Niall and I, don't get me wrong Niall was pretty cute and a rather funny and interesting person but I just wasn't attracted to him in that way.

He cheekily grinned at me as he took another small puff of his cigarette. He then set it down on a little ashtray, opened his mouth to say something before we were interrupted.

“Excuse me, I'll be your waitress for tonight. Would you like to order anything ?” The waitress stopped in front of us as she pulled out her little notepad with a sparkly blue pen. Her piercing blue eyes were quickly fixated on Harry. He looks over at me, waiting for an answer.

“I'll just have some fresh mint tea please.” I announced.

“And I'll have the same as her.” Harry added, his eyes staring back at mine.

The waitress quickly turned around making a loud tap with each step she took. Harry turned his attention to her as she made a rather funny walk as if she was trying her best to look sexy.

“She's pretty.” I chuckled noticing his gaze was still upon her.

“Not my type.” He simply said.

I smiled at his statement, for some reason it made me happy.

“So what brings you here ?” He asked turning all his attention towards me. I could feel my face burning up again as his green eyes focused on me.

“School, new life, you know stuff like that.” I answered sharply.

“I've fallen in love with this city if I'm honest with you.”

“Yeah it's beautiful.” He answered.

I gave him a small smile and made space for the waitress as she returned with our drinks. She set our tea down and quickly left to tend another customer. I smiled in delight at the smell of fresh mint filled my nose. I turned back to Harry and studied him carefully again. His curly locks carefully made their way into his forehead complimenting his face. His eyes were fixated on his cigarette as he carefully put it out.

“I am thinking about moving away though.” He continued.

“Where to ?” I asked as I took a small sip of the heaven tasting tea.

“Maybe New York City, Canada, who knows you might even see me in some Caribbean island.” He chuckled.

“Well that sounds interesting enough that I just might tag along.” I laughed as I brought my drink closer to my face. I sat there completely satisfied with life as I inhaled the scent of it. I looked over at Harry who was giving me a funny look.

“I look really weird right now, don't I ? I'm really sorry.” I apologized and set my cup down. I look away as I felt my face getting hotter and hotter by the second.

“It's okay.” He laughed. “I like weird.”

I laughed at his response and we continued our conversation, to my surprise he was interested in a lot of things I loved doing. In a way a felt nostalgic, like I had known him in a past life or something.


*an hour later*


“Next thing you know Louis is chasing after that bird and-”

The sound of my phone ringing interrupted him. I mentally slapped myself for not turning the sound off and shot him an apologetic look.

“Go ahead darling.” He said mentioning toward my phone as he took a sip of his drink.

I pulled it off trying to figure out who was calling me at this time. I immediately thought of Caleb, I hadn't spoken to him since our last incident on the phone but to my surprise it was Sam.

“Hello ?” I answered quite confused at the sudden call.

“Alex! You need to come down to my apartment! I think Zayn just broke up with me and I don't know what to do! What do I do !? The girls aren't answering me. Please I need you!” She cried into the phone. I could actually hear sadness in her voice and not the usual happy sound that came from it which made me worry even more for her.

“Okay yeah, please Sam calm down.” I answered the phone, trying my hardest to understand her thick accent as she kept crying into the phone. I quickly stood up and grabbed my purse.

“I'm really sorry but I have to go.” I said to Harry.

“Sam needs me.” He looked at me with an understanding look. I wanted to stay and keep on talking to him, to my surprise those sad green eyes of his turned out to be one of my favorites. Even though we had barely just met, I felt like we already knew everything about each other.

“I'll see you soon.” He stood up and gave me his jacket again. “Here you need it more than I do.” He chuckled.

“Thanks.” I laughed and took it. I went in for a small hug as we said our goodbyes. I quickly ran out the café trying my best to not fall in these heels I was wearing. As I made it to the bus, I quickly texted Sam.

Sam: Lila answered. She's coming too
Me: I'm on my way xx

I sat back on my seat and realized I was gonna have another long night again.
