"Oh my God! He's totally into you!" Ana and Inês screamed in unison.

"He's not!" I rolled my eyes. "It was the lack of sleep."

"Oh really? What about when you went downstairs and you fell asleep together? That's so cute, I wish I'd seen that!" Ana winked through the camera.

"Oh stop it Ana. Now, I have something to tell you. Something really weird that happened a couple of days ago and..."

"You two kissed?" Inês cut me off.

"What? No! Can you stop talking about him? Jeezzz.. It's something else. It's... Filipe."

"Who? Did I hear it well?" They looked at each other confused. "Mia, please don't do it again."

"I didn't do anything I swear. It was him, he talked to me." I whispered to the screen.

"Okay I'm confused now."

"Yeah me too believe me. It was really weird. He asked me about Harry." I avered.

"About Harry? Why?" Ana asked shoked.

"I don't know. He asked if we were dating and then apologized for disturbing me, I don't know. It was sooo weird."

"Do you think he's jealous?" It was Inês' turn to speak.

"He totally is. Harry's hot." Ana responded her.

"Yeah. He wants Mia back."

"He always wants her when she turns her attention to someone else."

"Uhr Girls I'm right here?" I waved to them.

"Mia just ignore it, he's trying to seek your attention but you should j..."

"Dad! What are you doing?" My father appeared on the doorway of the room.

"Your sister is homesick. You two could go out, maybe shopping or something. What do you think?"

"India spent the night out at Harry's yesterday! She's hard to pleasure."

"She's your sister my darling what did you expect.. Now, can you take her?"

"Thats' only because I'm in a good mood. Where's she?"

"She's helping me with lunch."

"Oh that's new. Okay. I'll take her somewhere after lunch." I smiled with my lips.

"Good." He came in. "Your a great sister you know?" In a very sweet gesture he kissed my forehead.

"Yeah yeah." I pushed him out of the room.

"Lunch will be ready soon."

"Just one minute." I waited till he leaves. "Now, where were we?"

"On the part where you take Filipe of your life for good!"

"The person itself is out of my life, but the marks remain even after his departure." I sighed remembering all the scars.

"We know honey. That thing he did before he left was terrible and only we know what he did and how he left you but see the positive side, you now have one of the hottest guys ever trying to get to you. Do you know who's jealous? Every girl in the world honey!" Ana's said speechify leving me speechless. She was kinda right, it was time to stop not living my life for a mistake.

"And we know you're pushing Harry away because of that. Aren't you?" Inês added.

"I'm not." They glared at me. "Maybe a little." I confessed.

"For God's sake how can you handle it? I personally wouldn't be able to resist it."

"Okay Inês. I think we got the point, you're smitten by Harry..."

"I'm not. I'm just trying to look for your love life dear. And you know he's fit, you always liked him juuust a little."

"I liked him as a fan. That's different now."

"Oh God. Just admit it!"

"Okay okay. He's hot. Happy now?"

"Yaaayy!" They clapped!

"How am I friends with you?" I groaned to their childish.

"You love us!" Inês declared.

"I gotta go now. Bye girls." I blew them a kiss.

"Bye! We love you." They waved.

I closed skype and went to the kitchen but stopped to hear my family's conversations as I heard the "H" word.

"So he was respectful? Like not touching her inappropriately or forcing into something..."

"Dad I'm 12, even if they wanted to they wouldn't do that in front of me but he was cute. Very careful and kept staring at her for ages every time she said something. I'm a kid but I can see that things too and I think he's not using her for fame or take advantage of her or whatever , he really seemed to care about her. But who knows, I fell asleep and they spend the rest of the night together..." For the first time I heard my sister being really serious. The amount of things she noticed in just one night..

"They what? The whole night?" My father eyed her. I decided that was the right time to intervene on the scene.

"I'm here! And I'm starving. Can we eat already?"

"I'm tired." India said with the bags in ther hands after some time shopping.

"Of course you are India. Let's seat near that statue over there."

"What is this?"

"Well this is Piccadilly, is a very famous street here in London. It was actually named Portugal Street till the 17th century."



"Is this what you learn in your history lessons?" She asked sitting on the step.

"Not only."

"We never came here before."

"I know. Daddy's been too busy right now but I'm sure when things settle down in the company he will show us the entire England." I spoke convincingly.

"That's nice. By the way why is there a man behind that van taking photos of us?"

"What?" I immediatly followed her eye's line. There was a man with a camera pointing at us all dressed in black watching us intentively.

"Okay c'mon India get up. And cover your face. Now!" I demanded dragging her by the arm.

"Why? Who is it?" She looked back trying to understand.

"Some papparazzi I believe." I tried to burry her face on me doing my best to hide her face. The last thing I needed was India's face all over the internet.

"Good. Let's take some photos." She stopped walking.

"What are you crazy? No way." I pushed us into a cab not really sure where to go. I couldn't go home though. If the man was following us he would find out where we live which is totally unnecessary. "Okay I have an idea."

"Where to miss?"


-


I rang the doorbell once again but no one was answering. I pushed harder again impatientely.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." I heard from the inside. "Mia?" A very surprised and almost naked Harry opened the door. I instantly covered India's face to prevent her from seeing him only with a towel wrapped around his waist. I almost forgot the words. Almost.

"Do you always open you door like this?" I said recomposing myself.

"I went for a quick shower." He shrugged.

"I can see that." I pointed at his dripping hair.

"So what's up?" He didn't seemed unconfortable with his nudity at all.

"We were followed by some paps and I did not want to go home so instead I came here. That was probably a bad idea. We're going." I held India's hand ready to leave.

"No! Please stay, I just need to dress. There's food in the fridge or the bathrooms if you need, My house is your house. I'll be back in a minute." He left with a warmingly smile.



"I'm hungry." India reminded me of her presence.

"You're so embarassing." I rolled my eyes at her leading us to the kitchen. "Okay let's see." I looked around in recognition. "Maybe this?" I reached for a little bag with bread. "Do you want one?" India nodded and I handed her the bread also looking for some juice in the fridge. She sat on the table eating happily and I sat on the counter watching her.

"He's so hot!" My sister managed to say full-mouthed.

"India! Words please!" I glared at her.

"Oh don't tell me you didn't noticed. He looked very sexy. The towel was a pity though." She was right, he looked really good. His perfect shaped body did not leave my mind.I was not aware of his toned body... Well, till now... I thought.

"India..." I warned her "You're too youn..."

"I'm back." Harry interrupted my lecture, fully clothed with some beije pants and a black t-shirt.

"It's cold outside you know." I stated.

"Yeah but it's hot in here."

"Yes it is." India murmered chewing a piece of her bread. I would totally slap her right now if we were alone! Her big mouth... I could see Harry supressing his laugh. I looked down touching the bridge of my nose too embarassed to face him.

"I'm using the bathroom." She got up leaving us in a very awkward silence. Oh for God's sake. Someone's gonna have a earful tonigh. Oh if she is...

"She is quite the kid isn't she?" He said breaking the silence.

"Yeah. She thinks your hot." I stood on my feet and took her now empty glass to put on the sink.

"What about you?"

"Me?" I turned around to see him standing too close, trapping me between the sink and his body.

"Yes. What do you think?" I could feel his breath due to his proximity. I couldn't move though, he placed both hands on each side on the counter and leant forward leaving me with no way out.
His eyes were burning into mine, glancing to my lips from time to time. I swallowed without words, he was too close now. He had desire spread on his face, licking his lips eager for my response. As I didn't say anything he approched my mouth.

"I think you should put a coat on." I murmured against his lips, pushing him away.

"Killjoy." Were his words, making me laugh loudly.

"You didn't think I was that easy did you?" I said arms crossed in front of him.

"I never said that."

"A lady needs to be conquered Styles." I patted his arm slightly amused.

"You can only conquer someone if the other one is willing to BE conquered." He emphasized raising his eyebrows at me.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means I'm not blind. I can see you feel it too, you just don't let yourself go. You avoid every intimate moment and run away every time I try to kiss you. Why don't you let me in, why don't you trust me?" It was actually the first time he mentioned kissing me.

"We just don't know each other well."

"We do enough! And it takes time to get to know someone, it happens along with friendship. As we spend time together, we get to know each other better. But if that's your problem I have an idea." He smiled from ear to ear showing me his irresistable dimples.

"I'm scared."

"There's no need to. What are you doing tomorrow?"

"Emh baby-sitting most likely."

"Well you're not. We are having a date." He pointed at both of us.

"Oh we are?"

"Yes we are indeed." He replied amused. "Me and the lads have an interview at a radio station in the morning, you and your sister can come with us and then she stays with the lads, we can call El too, she loved India and we have the rest of the day to ourselves."

"I can see you've got it all planned."

"So.. Do you agree?" He flashed me a smile.

"I'm ready!" India appeared smiling cheekily. "Can we go now?"

"Sure." I looked for my bag on the living room. Harry walked us to the door, closely behind me. "And about your proposal..." I turned to him on the door. "Ask me again tomorrow." I shrugged.


If he really wanted to turn this into something, he would have to strive for it.
