I heard the door of the house open and close. Harry walked into the kitchen and saw me cooking dinner. He smiled. God I loved his smile.
"Hey Rachel, wacha up to," I stared at him, wondering if he was being serious.

"What does it look like dumb ass, I'm making dinner! I lost a bet with Zayn so in return I have to cook dinner. D'you know how much shit I had to buy to cook for 4 guys a girl and NIALL!" Harry laughed.

"Well Im sure it'll be great. Need any help." He asked.

"Actually yeah I sorta do, I'm just making pizzas but the stupid part of my me decided to go gourmet." He smiled and I smiled back. Harry and I had been best friends since before X-Factor and One Direction. The band was doing some recording at the moment so we all just decided to stay at my parents house since they decided to go on a world tourist thing and left the house to me (lol bad idea). Anyway, I couldn't wait for 9 months of living with my best friend, that was before I realised that I had feelings for him. Now every time I see him I feel panicked but I have to act completely normal because I know he would want to know what was going on if I was acting different and when Harry confronts me about anything I can never hide anything.

He started chopping some tomatoes while I started making some pizza bases. It was a comfortable silence. After about 10 minutes Harry looked up at me and he got a look that I new meant he had an idea. Shit. Before I new it Harry had grabbed a handful of flour and chucked it at my face. He took one look at me and burst out laughing.

"You little shit face!" I screamed while grabbing the softest tomato and smashing it on his head so it went all through his curls. His beautiful curls...... he pulled a look of mock horror.

"Too far Rachel." He said in a dramatic voice. He grabbed the bowl of water I had been using to clean my hands and tipped it over my whole body. I screamed. And I mean screamed.

"HARRY!!!! I'M GONNA GET YOU, YOU CURLY BITCH!" I grabbed handful after hand full of flour and threw it at him, then got the dishes hose from the sink and sprayed him up and down. Before long we were having a full on food fight. We were both covered in tomatoes, flour, seasoning and god knows what other food while cursing, screaming, squeeling, (that's right harry was squeeling like more of a girl than I was,) and laughing.

"Oh my god do you know how hard this is gonna be to wash off. I have flour and water- shit that means I have dough all through my hair." I whined. Harry smiled and laughed. He walked over to me and started picking bits of food out of my long brown curly hair. I only now realised how wet and see though my thin white top had become. Harrys smile dropped as we both realised how close our faces were. We both froze for a few seconds and he kept his hand in my hair. "I-Im gonna go have a shower." I stuttered and quickly walked past him towards the bathroom.

After about 40 minutes in the shower I finally had all the food out of my hair and I stepped out of the shower only to realise I had forgotten to bring clothes into the bathroom and now only had a towel that barely covered my breasts and arse at the same time. I sighed and put It around me as tightly as I could while preparing to run to my bedroom without anyone noticing. I opened the bathroom door, walk out and bumped strait into... Harry. Of course. His eyes widened as he looked at my almost naked body then blushed and looked back up to my face. My eyes were wide and I was sure that I was as red as the tomatoes we were throwing at each other before.

"umm---I-I was just going to see if you were out of the shower yet" he swallowed.

"Uh- yea, I'm umm done with the shower... yea" I mentally pace palmed myself. I started to make my way past Harry as he started to make his was past me and I tripped over his stupid feet! He caught me by the waist and I heard him suck in a breath when we both looked up and realised how close we were. Our lips were barely two inches apart. We froze for probably 10 seconds, just staring into each others eyes. Wow he had amazing eyes. Shut up Rachel. I stood up properly, opened my mouth to say something, closed it because I didn't know what do say, and did probably the stupidest thing I could have done. I sprinted past him past him and into my room, slamming the door behind me. I barely heard him call out my name just before my door closed. I sunk down to the floor and put my head into my hands, praying he wouldn't follow and would just get in the shower. When I heard the water running I stood up and got dressed before making my way back downstairs into the kitchen.

I sighed. Harry had cleaned up everything and new ingredients were sitting on the bench. I started to cook again while mentally scolding myself for being such an idiot. I should have laughed it off or made a stupid joke. That's what I would have done a year ago. Thankfully Harry didn't come back downstairs until I called out that the pizzas were ready, and when he came down he was with Louis and Liam. By the looks on there faces I could tell that Harry hadn't told them anything. Which was good because i wasn't really sure what he would tell as I had no-idea what it meant to him, if anything.

"PIZZAAAAAAAAA!!!" Niall screamed. We all covered our ears until his little shouting sesh was over.

"Looks great Rach," Liam smiled. We all sat down and started to eat. I was very happy with everyone's reactions, well maybe not Zayns. Nialls eyes widened and he put 3 more pieces on his plate. Louis made a sassy M-m-mmmmmm. Liam and Harry both moaned. Zayn smiled looked up and said.

"I think what really made this Pizza satisfactory was the fact that you knew you were making it for me and you knew you were making it because you lost a bet and you deserved it." He smiled a fake-sweet smile and went back to eating.

"Oonomevaweewyholdushwwovabewa" Niall said. We all stared at his with black faces. He chewed and swallowed what must have been a pull piece of pizza and cleared his throat. "I said you never really told us what the bet was." My eyes widened and Zayn looked like he was trying to figure out what to say.

"You know I don't think that rally matters why do you all get back to eating your pizzas ok? Alright. Eat." I said with an awkward voice. Everyone started to ask further question but me and Zayn managed to get them to drop it. The rest of dinner seemed normal but I think everyone could tell something was off. Harry and I didn't look or speak to each other once throughout the whole meal. Infact, Harry said very little at all. After I had done all the dishes (also part of what loosing the bet had cost me. 15 minutes of scrubbing guys pizza plates) I started back to my room when someone put a hand over my mouth and pulled me backwards into a room shutting the door. I panicked, kneed the person, turned around and slapped them before realising it was Louis.

"Oh my god Louis I'm so sorry I didn't- wait what the fuck were you doing?" He was on the floor groaning but I knew it hadn't hurt that much.

"I wanted to talk to you but I didnt want anyone to here." He said in a pushed voice.

I put of a face that said 'What the fuck'
"Dude you could have thought of a million there ways to do that. Now get your silly ass off the floor and tell me whatever you wanted to talk about." I demanded. Louis huffed then stood up pulling me away from the door so we couldn't easily be heard.

"What's going on with you and Harry?" My heart quickened. Maybe Harry had said something.

"What do you mean?" I said lamely. Louis gave me a look as if to say 'really?'

"Rachel stop playing dumb. Hazza barely said two words at dinner and you guys didn't even look at each other. It's clear something's going on so stop being a baby and just spit it out!" He whisper yelled at me. I thought about how my feelings had developed for Harry and how our friendship would be ruined if I ever told him. Whatever friendship was left after I idiotically ran. I could feel tears start to form in my eyes and Louis' face softened.

"Shit, Rach I'm sorry I didn't mean to be so harsh- come here." He pulled me into a hug and I graciously accepted it. "Please, what's going on?" I sighed and decided to just tell him. I told him everything from when I first stated developing not friend-like feelings for him to when I ran into my room in that tiny towel. Louis listened the whole time and took a deep breath at the end.

"I think you need to tell him" I started to protest but he cut me off "before you start saying what a stupid idea it is just think. Is it? I mean, you obviously like him a lot and he probably feels the same way about you. I see the way he looks at you and its in more of a best friend way. If you said you liked him I think he would say it back." I sighed.

"thanks Louis but there's no way in hell he would like me back."

"Why? I mean your funny, crazy, Energetic, sweet and let's face it. Your hot." I smiled at his comment.

"as much as I love listening to you compliment me Im gonna leave now. And I'm not telling Harry so don't you either. Ok?" Louis sighed and looked defeated.

"Fine."

i went back to my room, not noticing the curly haired boy standing behind a plant as I left Louis room. at 10 oClock I decided to have a little ice-cream so I left my room, coincidently at the same time as Harry left his. -__- we awkwardly walked into the kitchen and both went to the freezer, getting out the ice-cream we liked. At one point I saw Harry look at me then sigh and look back down. Right as I was about to grab my bowl and go back to my room Harry spoke.
"Rachel" I turned around so he knew I was listening.

"I um-well- I heard you and Louis talking earlier." I felt my breath catch. How much had he heard?

"I heard everything," he said as if he could read my mind. Shit.

"and...." Our friendship was effectively ruined.

"well.." Here it comes.

"Why didn't you tell me? I mean I like you back obviously" wait.... What?! I tried to think of a good way to respond.

"Huh?" Good one Rach. Real smart.Harry smiled.

"of course I like you. Rachel I've wanted to ask you out since we met but I always thought you would say no and I didn't want to ruin our friendship." I stood there still stunned. "Rachel please say something."

slowly. I smiled. Harry noticed and smiled back. he stepped forwards. "Rachel Evans I love you" I smiled even more.

"I love you too Harry" he kissed me and it was the most beautiful feeling in the entire world.
