My Complicated Life! (AU Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 17:

Eva's POV

It's been just about a week since I left Harry's room abruptly. I've kept my distance from him and I can tell he is confused as to why I'm avoiding him. But I can't really tell him I'm avoiding you because I'm forming strong and deep feelings for you and that scares the shit out of me. And I know you won't feel the same and I don't want things to be weirder between us than they already are.

My attempts to avoid him included going job hunting. Once school starts I will be starting as a barista at a local coffee shop. I will be working after school and on weekends. I would've started working now but they didn't need me until after New Years.

It's New Years Eve today, and the Styles are throwing a huge party tonight. Emily and Isaac are down stairs helping people set up decorations now. I offered to help but I was told they didn't need my help. So that's why I'm sitting on my bed staring out my window at the snow falling from the clouds.

I look at the time and see i have just under fifteen minutes to get dressed before guests start to arrive. I already did my hair and make-up. Emily and I went dress shopping the other day and I picked out a gorgeous golden dress that sparkles when the light hits it right. It a little shorter then mid-thigh but I can still somewhat bend over. My favorite part of this dress is that it's simple but fancy. It's also a perfect New Years Eve party dress! (Outfit on sidebar)

I walk into my bathroom and brush through my straight hair before I brush my teeth and touch up my make-up. I spray some perfume then walk over to my closet to get my dress and shoes for the night. I grab the dress and my black pumps and walk over to my bed. I take my shirt off and then slip out of my sweatpants leaving me in my black lace underwear and bra. I unzip the zipper on the dress and step into it. As I pull it up my body I realize I'm not going to be able to zip it up all the way by myself.

"Shit." I groan as I attempt to zip it up myself.

"Need help?" The voice that sends chills through my body speaks. I jump and turn to face him. I don't trust my voice so I just nod my head. I turn around and gather my hair to one side so he can get to the zipper easily. I feel his hot breath hit my back before I feel his fingers touch my back. He slowly zips it up with his fingers trailing slowly up my back leaving goosebumps behind. I felt my face heat up knowing he can see the effect he has on me, but I don't say anything. I'm glad he doesn't either. Even after he zips it up the whole way his hands don't leave my back. He trails his hands up to my neck and down my arms slowly. He runs his hands up and down my arms softly as he leans in closer to me. I feel his hot breath against my ear and my breath hitches in my throat. I'm not sure what he is going to do next and to be honest the anticapation is killing me. We both jump when the doorbell rings multiple times. he gently pushes me away causing me to stumble a bit.

"I'll ummm meet you downstairs." He says quickly as he leaves my room closing the door behind him. I nod even though I know he's already left. I take a shaky deep breath and walk over to my bed and sit down so I can put my shoes on. Well that didn't help me get rid of my feelings for him. All the feelings I pushed away just came rushing back.

Since I don't want people to know I'm living here (The other Styles family left a few days ago and people from school are coming) I grab a small black clutch to at least put my phone in. Once I'm completely ready I leave my room making sure to close and lock my door behind me. I don't need one of my friends snooping around and finding my room and going in to see my stuff. Nobody needs to know I'm living here.

"Oh Eva dear you look lovely." Emily smiles brightly as I walk down the stairs.

"Thank you. You look amazing as well." I smiled back and give her a small hug when I get off the final stair.
