Chapter 7:

-----{Emma's POV}-----

After a normal day at work, I decided to make my way home to pack and get ready for Ed's tonight. I felt slightly guilty for the intrusion but Ed said that they didn't mind, so I thought I might as well have a night out.

After getting home, I grabbed a spare bag to put a few things in. I packed my: moisturiser, make-up, spare underwear, a blue and white striped tank top and denim shorts along with some striped TOMS to finish the outfit. I then placed my perfume and toothbrush in the side pocket along with my eyelash curler, to finish my packing.

I looked at the clock and it was 5:10pm so I decided to change; I changed into matching black underwear and put on some pj shorts and a grey tank top. I saw my reflection in the mirror and ruffled my naturally curly hair so it fell nicely around my face, I then re-applied my lipstick and checked in the mirror again, satisfied with what I saw.

I felt fur brush against my leg as Zazu nuzzled against me. I smiled at him, picking him up and walking into the kitchen so I could re-fill his food and water bowl. I reached down into the cupboard and retrieved the cat food, squeezing it into the bowl. I then put the empty wrapper in the bin before walking to the fridge to get the milk, only to walk back and pour it into his other bowl.

"There you go Zazu. Now don't make a mess while I'm gone!" I gave him a quick hug, glancing at the clock again noticing the time. 5:35pm. Saying my goodbyes to Zazu, I grabbed my bag and headed out the door.

I decided to head to the local shop before going to Ed's so I could pick up a few snacks for all of us. I picked up several different packets of sweets, popcorn and chocolate for our night in; I paid the woman at the till before hearing the ringing of the bell on the door as I exited the shop.

~~

I reached Ed's apartment door after parking my car. I pressed the buzzer and waited to hear Ed's voice through the intercom, holding a bag in either hand full of junk food. What do you expect? It's a night in.

Without any noise the door opened and I stepped inside confused, I normally always get a warm welcome when I come here. Knowing Ed and Harry they are going to pull a stunt on me, so as I reach the door I brace myself for the worst...

6:15pm

I arrived at Ed's fifteen minutes ago and found he was the only one here. We sat on his couch catching up as we normally do, starting to think that Emma wasn't going to come.

"She's never late." Ed said confused as he wondered why she hadn't shown up, without even a message saying she wasn't coming.

"She must be pre-occupied then." I was slightly disappointed she didn't turn up but I don't mind staying in with Ed - he's a good mate.

"you disappointed?" he laughed mockingly as he looked at me.

I smirked, "Yeah and no really. No because I can still sit here and relax with you; and yeah because I kind of wanted to get to know her. She seemed nice when I met her, and she's fit!" we chuckled until we were interrupted.

"You think I'm fit?" Emma stood leaning on the doorframe to the living room with a mischievous smirk on her face, implying that she'd heard the entire conversation.

I gave her a cheeky smile and answered her question honestly, "Well, yeah!" I laughed to myself as she rolled her eyes playfully and strolled into the kitchen unpacking the bags she had brought with her.

------{Emma's POV}------

I moved into the kitchen to unpack the bags after overhearing the lads conversation. It took a hell of a lot for me not to giggle nervously as I stood there and watched them, oblivious to my presence. I heard someone get up off the coach and walk towards me looking over my shoulder to see what I had gotten, I raised my eyebrows and glanced to the side to see Harry's sculpted face leaning on my shoulder with a smirk, as he quickly glanced at me then looked down at the goods I'd placed in front of us.

"Nice to see you too!" I spoke sarcastically as his cheeky grin rise to his eyes making his dimples look prominent. He removed his head from my shoulder and stood up straight waiting for me to turn. Which I didn't. Shortly after he realised I wasn't moving, I felt his large warm hands rest on my waist and turn me agonisingly slowly towards him.

"Nice to see you Emma" he grinned genuinely and walked back over to Ed on the couch. I smiled to myself and turned back around to put some sweets and popcorn in the bowls; I walked back over to the lads, handed them the bowls and sat on the opposite couch waiting for the film to start.

------{Harry's POV}------

We sat in silence as the credits rolled on the film. Ed got up and switched the film off and sat back down, "so what d'ya wanna' do now?" he wondered.

We remained in our places contemplating what to do until Emma spoke up, "We could play twenty questions?"

Ed interjected "you guys can play, I'm shattered so I'm gonna' head to bed. I know a lot about the both of you anyway." he then got up and strolled to his room and shut the door. Guess its just the two of us...

"Okay, so where are you from?" I started the game.

"Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. What is your favourite one of Eds songs?" wow, tough question. She's good at this.

"Errmm, Little Bird. That song is great. Family?"

"Two brothers, both older, mum and dad separated. Same question?"

"One sister, older, mum and dad divorced. And I have a stepdad. Favourite food?" I could tell this was a hard question as the pace of the game slowed down.

"Im going to go with...Spaghetti Bolognese. Favourite film?"

Easy question. "Love Actually. Ideal first date?" I felt adventurous to ask this question but it'll tell me more about her, and that was the point of the game. I started to wonder if she would actually answer me until she broke me out of my thoughts.

"Um, well I don't need anything fancy like a meal or a trip to the cinema, ya'know. I've always been happy with literally sitting and watching the stars in the park or something. With fairy lights or floating lanterns, just anything cheesy that you see in a film. If its with the right person it shouldn't matter." She started to play with her fingers, she was being completely honesty with me. I realised that she isn't someone extravagant and its the little things that will make her happy. She is lucky with what she has and makes use of it, a genuine person.

"Anyway, lets carry on. Describe one personality trait about yourself that no-one knows about."

Tough question, people know everything about me... "er, I don't know, I'm sexy?" I chuckled and heard hear giggling alongside me.

"From the things I read, I think the majority of people know that!" she laughed a little more, me joining her.

I continued with the game, "same question?"

"I suppose I'm a little cheeky." she looked at me and smirked.

"Single?" I bit my tounge and waited.

"Yeah" she added, "you?"

"Why you interested?" I chuckled really wanting to know the answer.

"Do you want me to be?" I looked into her piecing hazel eyes, this must be her cheeky side, I like it.

"Yes I'm single." I diverted the question back to the original one, not giving her an answer but making her smile at me knowingly. She got up and took the empty bowls to the kitchen without saying a word, only smiling.

I followed behind her as she walked to place them in the sink - my hands placed themselves on her waist softly and could feel her exposed hip in the process. I turned her around slowly as our chests pressed tightly together leaving no gap between us; I then lowered my lips to her neck as she tilted her head sidewards to give me access to the exposed skin.

I allowed my lips to touch her soft skin for a second before she reached for my face and gently pulled it up so my forehead rested against hers. The moment was so heated, I could feel explosions in my stomach and my heart beat started to increase. Our lips started getting closer and closer until they were barely and inch apart.

"Goodnight Harry" I felt her warm breath on my face as she whispered, separating herself from me and giving me a sly smirk before leaving the room. Such a tease.
