Anyone but Harry Ch. 2

Kaylen's POV

The following morning I woke up and washed up, later changing into some simple Hollister jeans and a blue fitted top. Before I even had a chance to walk down stairs to see what the boys were up to, I was greeted but a kiss on the cheek by Harry.

"It's 12, love. Either you are really jet lagged or you're sleeping beauty in the flesh!" He said as I felt myself blush.

"Oh shush Harry. I was tired that's all. Are the boys home? It seems awfully quiet."

"Louie, Liam, and Zayn are out running errands. Niall I believe is making our late breakfast. You want to run down to the lounge and just talk till then?"

"Sure. Shouldn't I say good morning to Niall?"

"No, you're fine. It'll just be 5 minutes."

Harry's POV

"No, you're fine. It'll just be 5 minutes." I said without much thought.

Truth was I just wanted to spend more time with her. Get to know her. Her brown eyes were just like Liam's. Warm, a near honey hazel color, but not quite, there were too many gold tones to them. Unlike Liam she had lighter brown hair, a gold tinted brown, with natural chestnut tones. Her smile was shy, but flirty and welcoming. Although I knew Liam wouldn't be happy about it, there was something about her that made me toss and turn at night.

We walked in a quiet but not erie silence until getting to the lounge. I snuck a peek into the kitchen and saw Niall plugged into his iPod as he cooked. "Good" I thought. I could tell him and Kaymie were close by the way they interacted. Maybe it wasn't the type of close I should be worried about, but you ever now. We sat down on a couch meant for two, and she rested her legs on my lap.
"What do we talk about?" She flashed me that smiled I adored already, and when I returned it, she blushed and looked down at her hands.

"Well, how do you like London? You know, living with these strange fellows? Must be incredibly different from California."

"Yes it is so very different, but in a good, refreshing way. So yeah, living in London is as strange as you lads, but in a great way. Plus being around you guys is like being around Liam, and we have always been the closest of siblings. He's 18 and I'm 16, just two years apart. Oh and Niall! I love that boy, he's like my best friend. We've always gotten along well. Hey how old are you and the boys?" She shared with me. Her comment about Niall somewhat bothered me, but I ignored it.

"Niall, Liam, and I are 18. Zayn is 19, and Louie is 20. I know, seems like Liam is the daddy and Louie's the childish one, but that's just the One Direction family!" After that she laughed, agreeing with me. I told her she'd soon see the relationships that go on in the household. I was about to ask her if she wanted to join me at the London Eye for dinner when Lou, Zayn, and Li walked through the door and Niall called us in for brunch.

Kaylen bounced off the couch, and ran to hug Liam. She then wrapped her arms around Niall's waist from behind.

Kaylen's POV

I hugged Niall from behind since I realized he had no idea I was up. He just hugged my hand and patted my cheek gently "Hello my lady, how long have you been up?" He asked.

"I washed up then sat in the lounge talking with Harry. So not too long, Nialler."

"Ha, okay Kaymie. So you take your eggs scrambled unlike the rest of just right?" Wow I couldn't believe he remembered from that one time we shared breakfast after he slept over at my mom's with Liam. "Yes sir, that is correct!" He smiled and handed me a plated with scrambled eggs. I wanted to protest and tell him he shouldn't have gone through the trouble but instead kissed his cheek and thanked him.

From the side of my eye I thought I saw Harry give me a strange, bothered look. I quickly dismissed it. All the boys sat down and we shared a couple laughs. But Harry was right, you could totally spot the tightly knit relationships. Niam, Niall and Liam, on one side of the table talking about plans to take me out this weekend, agreeing on everything. Larry, Louie and Harry, joking around and sharing food and boiling tea for each other and finally Ziam. Harry would occasionally run his fingers through Zayn's hair and Zayn would grunt in protest. Liam would scold Harry, not rudely but briskly. The boys were so entertaining. Then I wondered where I fit into the lads' lives.

Liam of course was my brother and the boy I was most close with. Louie was a sweetheart who already treated me like family, but wasn't as over protective as Li. Zayn I hadn't had enough time to talk to, but we seemed to be on good terms, and I figured we'd end up being good friends. Niall was like a best friend to me, always saying hello and wishing me a good night and being the sweetest boy possible. Then there was Harry. Now he puzzled me. From the moment we met there was something about the way he talked and looked at me that I liked. He was touchy, but in a nice, inviting way. His room was also across from mine, and we would talk constantly, which also meant blushing constantly. Okay so I liked him. But it was just a mere crush, and I wasn't about to go tell anyone about it. "Kaylen. Kaylen, babe?" Harry had been trying to get my attention but I hadn't heard him. "Oh, sorry Harry. What's up?" I replied quickly. He asked me to join him outside on the balcony once I was done with my food and went up stairs. As anyone would have guessed I scoffed down my breakfast and met up with Harry.

"Hey Kaymie!" He said just as I came into view.

"Hey Harry! What's up?"

"Well, you haven't been in London long, and I figured I could take you to the London Eye for dinner tonight after the concert… as date?" His words came out slow and deep, but relaxed. I couldn't believe it. Harry had just asked me on a date. Knowing I was turning a bright pink, I gladly said yes. He embraced me tightly and whispered to me, "I'll pick you up at 9, love." Then he let go, smiled, and walked off.

Niall's POV

Harry walked in looking a little too happy.

"Mate, care to share why the cheesy grin?" I smirked at him. He looked around before responding. Liam had gone upstairs to talk to Kaymie, and Zayn had done the same to take a shower.

"Okay, Lou, Niall, don't you breathe a word to Liam. Not yet." He began. I felt myself tense up, knowing where this was going. "Kaylen. I asked her on a date at the London Eye tonight for dinner and she gladly said yes! But like I said you can't dare tell Liam, he'd never allow it." Harry had begun the explanation in a delighted tone, but ended it with a sigh. I knew where he was coming from though. At one point, I thought I had feelings for Kaymie. I dismissed them rather quickly because I knew that even though Liam thought it would be a great boyfriend to any girl, it would make him uncomfortable. I can't imagine what Li would feel if he knew Harry, who had such a bad reputation with girls, was trying to get at his sister. Louis and I agreed to keep our mouths shut and Harry retreated. I went up as well, deciding to take a nap before rehearsal in two hours.

I twisted and turned, tried sleeping with and without sheets, with music, without and nothing worked. I thought about my previous feelings towards Kaylen. She was the sweetest, most intelligent, and welcoming girl I had ever met from day one. I had feelings for her in all honesty, but I just never pursued them. Now that Harry was taking her out on a date I couldn't help but wonder if those feelings were still there, or if it was mere jealousy. I shook my head, knowing my thoughts were just clouded. Of course there was nothing there. I cared for her like a sister. As if on que, there was a quick rap on the door.

"Come in!" I yelled, but not fiercely. She walked in, looking especially happy. I knew it had to do with Harry and I felt myself think nothing of it. Feew! Those feelings weren't there anymore! I smiled at warmly, motioning her over to sit on my bed. "Hey, what's up Kaymes!"

Kaylen's POV

He patted the space next to him on my bed asking me what was up with a huge imperfect smile plastered on his face. "Nothing really. Excited to see you guys perform!" I said pinching his ever so cute cheeks. "Oh and one other thing… I sorta might have a date with Harry." A smile creeping up on my face. I had a feeling he knew, and if he did then he did a good job humoring me.

"I KNEW HE FANCIED YOU. Oh Hazza, winning you over in the first two days! He's not going to leave any of you for the rest of us!" Niall joked with me. I giggled at the thought of the other boys being interested, which I doubted. "Well, you won't have to worry about that! Louie has Elenor and Liam has Danielle. I mean that leaves you and Zayn out, but I have a friend who I know you boys would love coming in soon..." I couldn't help but grin as Niall gave a confused and curious look. I explained that last night Liam had come up to talk to me about things. He had asked if being the only girl in the house bothered me, and I simply stated that I did not mind, but I did miss my best friend Jessica. School had been let out for the summer and we had had so many things planned out. I wasn't complaining, I loved London and the boys, but it was hard to complete the list I had made with my best friend being here in London and her in California. Liam, compassionate and understanding as always, told me I could fly Jessica over for the summer before I started school here. Niall then understood. Nearly every girl in Cali was a 1D fan, and while Jess and I were no fan girls, we all had our One Direction crush or favorite. I winked a Niall letting him now he was Jess's favorite. "Well, I would date a fan," he said, blushing. "but only if she has a loving personality and a warm, comprehensive heart."

"Don't worry, you know that I'm no fan girl, well neither is Jessica. She finds you adorable already though, so if you become interested you always have a shot!" I told him reassuringly while putting in a good word for Jess.

"Thanks dear! Look, rehearsal is soon I'm going to freshen up." He hugged me quickly and went off, leaving me in his light blue room. I walked over to the following room, sitting on my bed and whipping out my phone. I had to call Jess, invite her over for the summer and fill her in. I punched in her number. After four rings, she answered.

"Hello?" Jessi's voice rang through the other line, sounding puzzled. I had forgotten I had gotten a new phone and number since arriving in London.

"Hey! It's Kaymie!"

"Oh, Kay! I miss you so much, sorry you got a new number and I didn't think it was you. How's London? How's the boys? Tell me everything!"

"Oh Jess, slow down. London's a beauty. The boys are all gorgeous, I'm slowly getting over the loving accents, the fact that my brother has an accent and I don't since I was raised in Cali, and slowly getting used to the thought of sharing this experience with you." A smile spread across my face slowly.

"You still have no idea how lucky you are to be related to Liam. I know you always lived apart and all, but you two kept a great relationship and look where he is now! Wait, wait, wait! Did you say SHARE this experience?" Jess finally caught on to what I had said, causing her to scream out in joy.

"PLEASE EXPLAIN FURTHORMORE NOW." She demanded.

I told her about Liam's offer to fly her over to London for the summer. Immediately she was delighted and hung up to talk to her mother about it. I sighed contently as I looked to my clock. It was now 2:00 pm, rehearsal started at 3:00, and the concert was at 5:00; my date at 9:00. I found myself anxious for the day to unravel but knew I was just nervous for my date with Harry. I chuckled to myself & lay down, drifting off happily.

Around 45 minutes later I awoke to someone jumping on my bed and hugging me. I opened my eyes adjusting to the light to see a grinning Harry. "Hey love!" I wrapped my arms around his neck hugging him back. "Hey!" I laughed.

"The boys told me to tell you that we're off to rehearsal. Someone will come pick you up at 4:45 right before the concert ok? Dress up how'd you like, enjoy the concert, and have fun." He pecked my cheek once before jumping off my bed and heading downstairs. "Bye!" I yelled after him with a sly smile.

The next hour consisted of me doing my make up, choosing what to wear and texting confirmation details between Liam and Jess. Liam arranged for her to arrive next week Monday, three days from now. I could barley contain my excitement. London just got better and better. Soon a driver picked me up and dropped me off at the arena where the boys were performing. After the impossible act of getting past the screaming fans, I got backstage and wished the boys good luck. They all hugged me and said thank you, clearly excited and eager to get on stage.

Nearly three hours later the concert was over and we headed home. I congratulated all of them, they sounded terrific. During some of the slower songs the crowd even kept quiet; respecting their beautiful voices, keeping everyone silent in awe. The lads blushed and said thank you, still humble as always.

It was now 8:00 and I only had an hour to get ready for my date. Louis, Liam, Niall, and Zayn all set up blankets in the family room as they prepared to watch movies. Naill cuddled up to Liam, Zayn leaning on Liam as well, leaving Lou alone. "HARRY, COME HERE AND CUDDLE WITH ME." Lou called before catching my eye. "YOU TOO BABES!" I giggled at him before looking over at Harry who was trying to descend up the stairs. He headed back down and looked at Louis lovingly. "I can't. I have a date at the London Eye in an hour. Sorry!" Harry claimed, throwing a wink at me. Liam sat up and stiffened a bit. "With who Harry?" Liam asked warily.

"Oh. Uh with Kaylen." Harry shrugged shyly, afraid of Liam's reaction, but still confident in some way.

Liam scowled for a second before shaking his head. "Oh alright. Be back by 11 please, I don't want to stay up too late."

"Yeah, no problem mate!" Harry smiled widely at Liam, then me. I smiled back before Harry reached over to hug me. "Dress casually, but nicely. Oh and warmly. But not to warm that you won't need a hug." He whispered into my ear before finally making his way up the stairs. I ran over, hugged Liam, and kissed his cheek. "Thank you Li." I said sincerely.

"Yeah, of course. We'll talk later. Now go, get ready for your date." he shooed me off, and I did as I was told.
