Something Great
Chapter 3
Harry's P.O.V~
"Why the hell do you know so much about her but you hardly know anything about me? Are you in love with her or something?!"
Valerie was getting on my last nerve with all those nagging questions. On top of that, she was embarrassing me in front of my mates.
"She's my best friend Valerie! And my roommate. Am I supposed to avoid her in a flat that we share? I've known Rebecca for years!" I groaned. Making eye-contact with Liam, Niall, and Cheryl in the backseat, apologizing with my eyes.
"What happened to calling her 'Bex'? I thought only you were allowed to call her that. She only made an enormous deal about it in front of everyone." Val fumed. "It was so humiliating! And all you did was laugh."
"She just isn't used to you yet. She doesn't take to new people well."
Cheryl snorted but tried to cover it up with a fake sneeze.
"But-" Val tried to continue.
"Oh, look! We're finally home!" Niall exclaimed, practically jumping out of the car before I was finished parking.
We got inside to find everyone gathered together in the dining room chatting quietly. Their conversation seemed to stop completely as we entered.
"What were we talking about, love?" I smiled at Bex.
"Nothing!" Eleanor and Rebecca squeaked in unison.
"O-kay then."
"We were just, uh, going over the details for the party tomorrow." Louis covered.
"No party. Just my closest friends." Rebecca glanced at me. I nodded ever so slightly, signalling that I got the message.
Mental Note: No Valerie
"Okay, so I started making a list of all the bars we should hit tomorrow night," Louis started.
"And I know which shops to go to," Eleanor added.
The girls, except Valerie, squealed. Bex giggled as I caught her gaze.
The way her eyes sparkled when he looked at me was enough to make my pulse race.
"You guys know me so well." She said in awe.
We sent the rest of the day planning her birthday. Valerie left sometime during the day but no one really noticed. We conversed until Rebecca retired to her bedroom at around 11:45 p.m. After hearing her door close, we talked presents. Since I knew what kind of pup she wanted, German Shepard, I was in charge of getting it. Lou and El were in charge of breakfast in bed and setting up the dog bed and such, Niall was on reservation duty, the girls were in charge of keeping Bex occupied, and Liam and Zayn were on decorations.
Everyone was to spend the night so we can get started as soon as possible. As I made my way to my bedroom, I noticed Rebecca's door was open and a light was on. I peeked inside to see if she was awake. She wasn't. The grey-eyed beauty had fallen asleep with a book resting, half opened, on her chest. I glided over to her, grabbing the bookmark that was on her nightstand and marking her place in the book and placing it on a shelf. Then, I pulled her fluffy, unicorn blanket over her shoulders and kissed her forehead.
Just as I was about to leave, I felt a slight tug on my arm. I turned back around and was greeted by partially opened eyes.
"Stay," She breathed. I was hesitant. "Please?"
It didn't take me but another second to pull my shirt off and climb under the covers, positioning my self beside her. The girl wiggled closer o me, nuzzling her face deep into the crook of my neck. Soon, we were both fast asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hazza, wake up." Zayn whispered in my ear, drawing me away from my dreamless slumber. "Stand next to me."
I did as I was told and everyone started singing Rebecca's favorite song, 18 by us, acapella version:
[Me:]
I got a heart
And I got a soul
Believe me I will use them both
We made a start
Be it a false one, I know
Baby, I don't want to feel alone
[Zayn:]
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
[Me:]
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
Rebecca started to wake up and realized what was going on.
[Niall:]
We took a chonce
She giggled. That was her favourite part.
God knows we tried
Yet all along, I knew we'd be fine
[Liam:]
So pour me a drink, oh, love,
Let's split the night wide open and we'll see everything
We can livin' love in slow motion, motion, motion
The girls gathered together and hummed the melody together. We finished out the entire song while Louis brought in the tray of breakfast. Bex was already on the verge of tears and it wasn't even the best part of today.
"Eat up and get dressed. We have shopping to do!" Gigi clapped excitedly.
She nodded and took a bite of pancakes. We, then left the room to give her some privacy.
I turned over my shoulder to get one last look at her. Bex' face turned bright red. As I closed her door I noticed her reach into her vanity drawer and pull out a green book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After about an hour,Rebecca came down stairs wearing a maroon cropped hoodie, light blue ripped jeans, and brown boots. Her hair was in perfect beach waves and her makeup seemed flawless.
Wow... where did my manhood go?!?
"Ready to go, Becca?" Gigi asked.
"Hell yeah! I've been waiting for this day since I was 17!" Se replied.
"Have fun! Stay safe. Don't forget to check in." I called out to them.
"Yes, dad!" Rebecca sassed.
The door shut behind them and the boys gathered around me. We discussed final plans: Niall will check on the reservation, Liam and Zayn will set up decorations, Louis will set up the puppy's stuff and I go get the pupper. Once we finished going over it, we got busy.
I knew the girls were going to shop until lunch so I took my time at the pet shop. I got sidetracked for a few minutes... okay hours. It was already 10:30 when I found the perfect puppy for Bex, a girl. I went to get the pup her shots and get her spade.
Finally making it home, I took the puppy up to Rebecca's room. Making sure she was settled in, I played with Gina for a while to get her used to things. I, then, went downstairs and joined the others in waiting for the girls to get home.
"Why the hell do you know so much about her but you hardly know anything about me? Are you in love with her or something?!"
Valerie was getting on my last nerve with all those nagging questions. On top of that, she was embarrassing me in front of my mates.
