Invisible String || H.S

Chapter 7

"I think Niall forgot to mention that I'm staying in here too tonight, but if it's a problem I can go sleep on the couch downstairs" Harry says softly while standing in the doorway, one hand on the back of his neck the other resting on the doorknob.

"No that's fine I say" butterflies immediately fill my stomach and I question the four drinks I consumed, praying that they stay down.

Harry walks over to the suitcase in the corner and I want to smack my forehead... of course thats his suitcase. He unzips the bag and rummages through his things before pulling out shorts and a t shirt.

"I'm going to go get ready for bed but I'll be back shortly, I just don't want you to be alarmed when I open the door again" he says while walking to the door. I nod my head and he leaves, softly shutting the door behind him.

I immediately grab my phone and open up the camera, praying that I still look as decent as I did when I first got here. My eyes widen once I take in my smudged mascara and my once contained hair, which now seems to be anything but.

I grab my purse and sink my hand into the bag, fishing for a hair tie. I managed to find one and gather my curls up with my hand, putting them into a half assed bun.

I then reach in for my phone charger and plug it into the wall behind the bedside table next to me.

Plugging in my phone I realize I forgot to text Ezra back and guilt sweeps through me. Before I can think of returning his message, the door opens.

Instead of being met with green eyes, I'm met with blue instead, and Niall enters.

"Harry mentioned it might not be too fun sleeping in the outfit you're wearing so I brought you one of my old tee shirts and some shorts" he says from the door way, the clothing hanging from his hand.

I smile and walk to the door thanking him.

"Convenient of you to not mention he is also sleeping in here tonight" I say sarcasm dripping from my voice.

"Oh did I forget to mention that? Totally slipped my mind, my bad" Niall says in the worst fake apologetic voice I've heard. Rolling my eyes I grab the clothes from his hands.

We say goodnight to each other and Niall leaves but not before blowing me a kiss, to which I then give a straight face and flip him off and hear him laugh as he shuts the door.

Walking back over to the bed I lay the clothes he gave me down and reach for the sweater around my neck, lifting it up and over my head.

Folding it, I rest it on the bedside table on top of my purse. I follow suit with my dress and reach for the shirt on the bed. It's dark green and has the masters logo in the center of it and when I put it on it falls to the top of my thighs.

Reaching for the blue checkered shorts I hear the door nob turn and I've barley managed to pull them over my ass before Harry enters.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry I should've nocked" Harry stammers from the door, looking down, a blush evident on his face.

"No you're fine, I was just finishing up" I say lifting up the covers of the bed and crawling in, trying to hide the blush that was probably very evident on my face as well.

I lay down on my side, facing the wall. Harry turns off the bedroom light, the room suddenly filling with the feeling of sleep, the streetlights in the window giving off a soft gold glow that lingers on the walls.

I feel the bed dip next to me and I roll onto my back not sure of what to do or say, a million thoughts race through my mind.

"Did you have fun tonight" Harry asks so quietly I almost have to lean closer to hear him.
