Truly Sincere [Part 1]

27

Late at the same night, everyone was busy in packing stuff for the hiking and camping plan. I had done my essentials packing which I thought would be important for the trip

"I've done my packing" I sighed putting my little bag on the table

"then please, do mine too" Alex pleaded taking the bite of the apple she was eating, laying on the bed beside her bag and stuff, not even bothering herself to get up expecting her stuff to pack itself

"I'm sorry, self service" I took out of maroon nail polish from the drawer and swayed towards the door

"You are a mean bitch" she mouthed with the apple bite in her mouth, I laughed before leaving the room

"sorry Alex"

I went towards the stairs which lead to the lawn, the swing beside it was already broken so I decided to sit on the stairs instead. Looking at the swing I recalled Harry's ridiculous prank and that how much I should be mad at him,  I sighed.

Opening up the nail polish bottle cap, I dipped the brush into the bottle twice to dip in the paint and then I drip the paint in the bottle before applying on my nails. Just when my finger nails were done, I decided to wait and let it dry first before doing my toe nails, when I was trying to close the bottle so that I can focus on drying my nails I was messing up, but then Niall came and he grabbed the brush from my hand and closed the bottle carefully

"thanks Niall" I smiled and he sat beside me

"no problem" he responded. I wanted to be mad at him too for being a little part of his prank too,  but I think I was only mad at harry that time

"what about them?" he looked down at my toe nails, which I was unconsciously wiggling, I giggled to myself

"yeah! letting these dry" I wiggled my fingers and he chuckled amusingly

"I can help" he opened the nail polish bottle again

"its okay I'll do it" I moved my feet away in shame

"you can trust me, I know how to apply this" he laughed before patting the floor beside him for me to place my feet

"sure I do" I smiled and put my feet beside him on floor

"Well it needs a lot of practice, but you are pro at it" I was amused at how he was doing it so greatly,  and he just winked at me with a smile

"busy guys?" Harry came and sat beside me, but I managed myself to make the poker face to let him know that I'm mad at him and not to look at him, but he moved even more closer to make me feel his existence but I still didn't look at him. He breathed loud enough for me to notice him, I adjusted myself a little bit and gulped down, still trying to not get bothered 

"I'm doing this honor to Jas" Niall answered on which he hummed and tried to move more closer to me. His thigh touched mine and I froze for a second and he started playing with my curls, I couldn't pretend more that I'm unaffected by his presence, I looked at him and he simply gazed in my eyes with no expression

"I need a wee" Niall lied in the middle, I knew it was drama because harry didn't take any second and took the brush from his hand

"it's okay Niall, Its almost dried I can do this" I tried to stay mad at him, I knew it was hurting him, but he earned this treatment, he didn't even think for a second before doing that horrible prank. I looked above at Harry's face and his eyes were pleading sorry now, he looked down at my feet

"please" harry mumbled, when Niall already left. And when I looked above he patted his thigh for me to place my foot so that he can apply nail polish. I placed it on the floor near his thigh, but he lifted my foot and placed it on his thigh and a gasp left my mouth, his grip was soft but firm

I clutched my hands in my lap making sure my nails are dry, I was at loss of words and the tension grew in air more with time. But I was feeling his eyes on me after every second he was looking at me,  waiting for any response from my side

"are you still mad at me?" he asked innocently when I looked in his eyes there was a guilty child

"yes! For sure, can you blame me?" I mumbled and looked down at my foot which was done, I put that down beside his thigh and placed the other foot on his thigh

"please Jasmin, I'm sorry" the pain in his tone was real, but I wanted him to regret every single second of the prank so that he should not repeat that in future

"I'll not do it again, I promise" as if he read my mind, he pulled his ears, I kept looking at him with my slight teary eyes and then I placed my foot on either side of his thigh to make space for me to move forward and the  I hugged him

"okay!" I mumbled in his chest

"I missed you this whole day" he moved back with a toothily smile

"me too,  I'm sorry" I pouted and he pulled my cheek

"I'm so excited for tomorrow" I squealed with joy as he continued with the nail polish, I was talking mess because it was the day without my best friend and I had so much to discuss with him. 

He kept looking at me, when he was done with the nail polish, he was smiling to himself while looking at me,  which made me stop whatever I was talking about, and I waved my hand in front if his eyes on which he became alert and laughed

"you know I've missed your smile?" he said, more likely to be a question and I was smiling blankly at his statement

"I like when you smile too" I said and he smiled softly with the soft dimples forming on his cheeks

"well I appreciate your work" I said while wiggling my toe nails on which he giggled

"your highness" he bowed dramatically and we both laughed

"Thank God you both are back together" Niall came out of nowhere

"yeah!  Thanks Niall for your pee drama" I taunted and he was left in the fits of laughter
