Heartbeat

More Exchanges; Get in Styles

Alex-

I pour coffee into my mug, my slippers shuffling on the carpet as I make my way to my front door to check for mail. I look out my peep hole first, and my eyes widen as I see the apartment door across from mine open up, Harry appearing outside. I watch, and when I see him glance up to my door I step down onto the flats of my feet and try to slow down my heartbeat. Maybe he isn't coming over, I need to calm down.

When the door is knocked upon my coffee cup falls from my hands in shock, splattering over my slippers. I seal my eyes closed and take a deep breath, turning around to tug the door open with a sheepish, embarrassed smile.

"Are you alright?" Is the first thing he asks me, his hair perfectly styled upon his head, distracting me from the mess I had made.

I glance down to my soaked slippers, nodding my head as I tug them off my feet. Before I can stop him, or help, he's picked up the glass shards off the floor, holding them carefully in his large palm.

"I uh, hold on, where's your trash can?" He asks me with a small laugh.

I push my hair from my face and laugh nervously but quietly as I lead him into my kitchen, showing him the garbage can.

"I came over to ask if you....if you wanted to come over today? J-just to watch some movies with me and my friends." His words are stumbled upon and I find my cheeks heating in a nervous manner as he shuffles on his feet in my kitchen.

When he goes to speak again I shake head to stop him and touch his arm to bring his attention to me, nodding my head as he looks to me.

"Yeah? Okay." He breaths out.

"I'll um, I'll see you later then, yeah?" He asks me.

And with a smile, I nod my head yes.

Harry-

"Eleanor!" I shout.

She laughs, falling onto her side to lean onto Louis who rests on the couch beside her.

"What? It's cute!" She exclaims.

"Why did you tell her? It's all I'm going to hear about from her now." I tell Louis.

He chuckles, draping his arm over El's shoulder as she smiles at me.

"So how long have you guys been talking anyways?" She asks me.

"I don't know, like a week? And it's not even much really, just a few times." I roll my eyes as I hear her 'aww' again.

"Is it weird since, you know, she doesn't talk?" She wonders.

I shrug my shoulders, "Not really."

"Hmm." Eleanor sighs, "I want to meet her." She says.

"Oh that's good because Harry invited her over." Louis informs El, wriggling his shoulders weirdly.

"Gosh Louis!" I exasperate as El starts to squeal.

"Oh Harry." She laughs.

"I'll let off of you for a minute because I need to go down to get my phone from the car." She tells me.

She gives Louis a peck on the cheek before hopping up, me sighing at Louis as he laughs.

"Oh, and I kinda feel like I forced her to come or something." I mumble as she passes me.

"Here's how you'll know, was she blushing, was she all smiley?" She stops in her tracks to talk to me.

"Yeah, maybe, I guess." I answer.

"Then that means a yes." Eleanor giggles with a slap to my arm.

"Get in, Styles." Louis jokes.

I turn around and smack the side of his head, feeling satisfied as he grunts in pain.
