Wildest Dreams ~~~ H.S

29.

What does she mean I need to hear this, and that people have already told me? Did I do something? I'm super confused right now. Is this good or bad? I can't tell! My thoughts are interrupted when Claire begins to tell me. "It's obvious."

What is she talking about? "What's obvious?"

"That harry has a crush on you, and you have a crush on Harry." You have to be kidding me right now. I bet Diana will get along with her well, but still. Why does everyone keep saying that?

"I do not! What are you talking about?" She crosses her arms and gives the exact same sarcastic look as Diana. There is no way that they aren't twins that were separated at birth.

"Oh come on, don't play dumb. I see the way he looks at you, cares for you, talks to you, and even treats you. That's definitely not something you do for just anyone. And, even Diana ships it! What's the ship name called? Andrearry? No that sounds bad. Handrea? Oh my gosh, it's perfect. Everyone knows it." What does she mean everyone knows it? There's no way it's that obvious. 

Oh shoot! I mean it's not obvious because it's not true and nobody knows it because it isn't happening either. "We're just friends! And trust me when I say this. It's HARRY. Obviously he is going to treat everyone like that, because it's something Harry does. He's just a gentleman, that's all!" 

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Say what you want. But also, he was totally about to explode after you smiled at him. Like it was so cute! But what's going on with John?"Claire asks, as she holds the bathroom door open for me so we can leave. I haven't really thought about it yet. I can't really tell if he is flirting, or just being kind because of the recent events.

"Well... I don't really know. He's really great," I stop before we get any closer to the table. The last thing I need is someone from our cast hearing this conversation. "But I don't know him that much yet. I wouldn't mind getting to know him though, he seems really generous."

"Hm. Well, if things don't work out with Harry, you always have him. Not that I'm saying to make him your second choice, but he honestly looks like a good guy for you. If that's what you want, go for it," Claire mumbles under her breath so I can't hear what she says next. "Even though I would prefer if you went with Harry."

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you. But yeah, maybe, I don't know. And Harry and I aren't together!" I don't really want to talk about this right now. John is pretty handsome, but I shouldn't think something like that about my director. It just isn't right.

"Oh, it was nothing. But lets go back to the table." I nod and we walk over to the rest of the cast. Everyone was almost done with their meals, but Claire and I didn't even start yet. I go to sit down and John helps me with my crutches. Harry looks at him, annoyed, as always. I really don't understand what he has against him.

"Thank you, John." I say, smiling. I feel Diana and Claire giving me a death glare. If they don't become best friends, then I don't know what to believe anymore.

"Your welcome, Andrea." The way he says my name sends shivers down my spine. I love accents, and his Australian one just might be the end of me. My cheeks heat up. I already know I look like a tomato right now, and I really don't need that to happen.

A few people order dessert, including John. I decide to check on Harry again. He's probably bored right now. "Hey Harry," He is leaning back in his chair, his eyes looking heavy. "Tired?" He attempts to open his eyes wider and fails.

"Mhmm." He crosses his arms to get into a more comfortable position. My expression soften almost immediately. Is it late? I check the time on my phone, and see that it's 11:43. Oh wow! I didn't know that we've been here for so long. Mainly because time went by so fast, while talking with Claire. I just know that Diana will love her. 

The desserts arrive, and Johns is a tiramisu. I just stare at it. I love tiramisu, but I'm not going to take Johns dessert. There aren't any extra forks either. I jump when John quietly laughs. "Would you like some?" Oh shoot, he noticed that I was looking at it.

"Oh, no thanks, I couldn't possibly take your-" 

"No, really, I don't mind. Would you like a bite?" He smiles, and my jaw drops. Wouldn't it be rude for me to eat his dessert? But it wouldn't exactly be right to stare at it, and turn down his offer. And it looks really good...

"I would, but there isn't an extra fork." John finishes chewing the piece in his mouth and nods in approval. There's no way it won't be the best tiramisu I will ever have.

"That's alright. You can use my fork." Before I can even argue with him, he hands me his fork and I take a small bit of the cake. I feel really bad for this, but he insisted. I eat it and my tastebuds raise to Heaven. I was right. It's the best thing I've ever had in my life. I hear John and Harry chuckle at the same time. Since I'm right between them, I am right in the middle of the beef. They both narrow their eyes at each other, like they are in some kind of duel.

"It's really good, thank you so much." I hand back his fork and he smiles calmly. Gosh, he's really beautiful.

"No problem." Everyone finishes their desserts and John pays. At this point, I don't even want to know how much the bill costs. I can't believe John took us to such an expensive restaurant. Especially because he said nobody else would be paying. 

We all walk to the lobby to get ready to leave. Everyone is chatting, and some of the employees are handing people their jackets that they left for them to keep safe. Diana is already lingering towards me before I can even get the chance to look for her. "What was going on with John? Why weren't you flirting with Harry the whole time? What did I miss on the car ride? I know that something happened. Fill me in on EVERYTHING!"

It takes a while before my brain can even process a single word she just said. "Who, what, when, where, why? Slow down." She rolls her eyes.

"You heard what I said, dingus." I did hear, I'm just really tired and I don't feel like having an hour long conversation right now.

"Ugh, fine. But can I just call you tomorrow? I'm really tired." Diana sighs. I know she is disappointed, but she understands.

"I guess that works too. But if you forget, you're in very big trouble." I laugh and nod as she walks out of the hotel and out to her car. I almost scream when Harry taps my shoulder.

"Holy sugar muffins are delicious! You scared me, geez." He tries to hold in his laugh, but also seems serious at the same time.

"Can you do me a favor?" A favor? It's past 1am! I mean, of course I will, but what could he possibly need at this time of day?

"Yeah, what is it?"
