Lilah

Harry. I like it. Now that I know your name, I'd love to know what you look like.

I typed the words into my phone, my fingers trembling slightly. This was easily the riskiest thing I have ever done.

"Was he cute?" I panicked to Jules.

"I didn't see his face, so I can't tell you. He could look like a frog for all I know." She glanced over my shoulder at my text.

"More sexy !!" She hissed. I huffed as I thought of something to say to him.

All of you ;)

As soon as I hit send my threw the phone on the floor, shoved my face into a pillow, and screamed.

"That's more I like it." My sister picked up my phone and poked my side. I could feel my insides turning with nerves. This was so unlike me, but the rushing feeling that I was getting from it was indescribable. I don't know what I'll be getting from this Harry, but he seemed into it which was reassuring to my nerves.

"READ! 3 DOTS! HE'S TYPING , HE'S TYPING!" Jules pounced on me and held the screen in front of my face.  My heart sank when the three dots disappeared and no message was sent. Dammit, listening to Julia I fucked up everything already by scaring him away.

Harry

How the fuck do I respond to that?

"Should I..do it?" I asked my mates in front of me.

"No." Liam said simultaneously as Niall said 'yes'.

"You already had sex with her, it's nothing she hasn't seen before." Niall protested.

"No, no. He should wait a little while longer. Harry I'm sure you texted this girl to build something and not leave things off as a one night stand." He was right.

"Yeah. Okay, I'll wait. I'll tell her no."

"Don't tell her no! Tell her later on." Liam said and Niall smirked as he sipped his beer.

"Or she goes first." He laughed to himself, and Liam rolled his eyes laughing as well.

After what was about 5 minutes of me leaving Lacy on read and contemplating what to say next, I texted her back. I'm putting way too much thought into this. I know how to flirt, I'm damn good at it. Fucking flirt Harry.

All in good time, baby. I don't want you getting more than you can handle so early on ;)

I smirked to myself at my message. I don't need Niall and Liam. I know how to get her wrapped around my finger.

"What did you say?" Niall peeped over to look at my phone, but I locked the screen as he did so.

"A gentleman never shares his secrets." I sat back and crossed on leg onto the other as I sipped my beer. My phone buzzed and I got excited, but when I looked at the screen it was just Louis texting me to ask if we were at Liam's yet. I told him yeah, and anxiously put my phone back into my pocket.

"So my proposal, what we came for before we were rudely interrupted by someone's horniness," he glared at me and I responded with a deep chuckle. "How will I get our friends and families together without making it suspicious that I'm up to something?"

"Well I can get my girlfriend in on this, you can say it's someone's birthday. Then hide the box with the ring in a little birthday bag and say it's the present. Then when you make a speech, you reveal it's no ones birthday, say what you wish, and then propose. She'll be completely surprised." Liam smiled at his idea.

" I like that." I encouraged, and gave props to Liam for his thought. Niall smiled, but Liam was suddenly frowning.

"Actually I really like that,  I should use that for my proposal." He stared off.

"It's not your time yet, Payno." I interrupted.

"Well you let me know when you plan your own proposal. Not that it would be any time soon because you refused to get into a relationship with someone for years. We all have someone and then there's you, H."

"Well that's me Liam, I don't see where that would be your problem." I protested.

"I'm just saying you deserve someone just as much as the Niall, Louis, and I do. Who knows, maybe that Lacy girl is the one." He smiled and I choked on my beer that I had been sipping.

"Too soon to think those things." I recollected myself, and quickly changed the topic of conversation off of me.

"I think Liam had a great idea. If your plan is to surprise her where she has no clue what's happening, and you want it to be with your families, then it's perfect."

"When I first met her and we were friends, she told me she dreamed of a proposal that stopped the room from talking and when she said yes, everyone would clap and watch her embrace the love of her life."

"Awwww you remember that." Liam teased him, poking his cheek. He blushed whilst his whole face went read. He was absolutely smitten, and I had to admit I was envious of him.

The doorbell rang and we heard a loud "OI OI" from the other side as Liam asked who was at the door.

He opened and embraced Louis in a big hug.

"How's it going lads? Liam, it smells absolutely shit in here what is that?" He scrunched up his face as he hugged me, then Niall.

"I don't smell anything!" Liam disagreed.

"So how's to proposal planning going? And what's this about Harry sexting his one night stand?" He laughed as Liam handed him a beer and he took his place on the opposite couch with Niall.

"You told him?" I belled at Niall.

"I had to tell someone! I can't keep shit to myself and he was bound to know anyway." They all laughed at me, and I sunk in my seat. There was more talk on Niall proposing to Leah, but I had tuned them all out. I feel the rush of excitement come back to me as my phone buzzed and as I took it out of my back pocket, the screen was lit up with her name.

Try me, I bet I can handle it.
