Hey guys! Hope you're okay! Thanks for reading/commenting/voting. Just a note to say Edie is pronounced Ee-dee.. <3

16th January 2014.

Harper.

I smile happily as I take out the cupcakes I'd made with Sienna. Well, I did everything - she stirred it and licked the bowl.

"Look how yummy they are!" I grin showing her the tray.

Sienna gasped a little chuckle leaving her lips.

It had been a fun Saturday, we both lay in bed until around 11 watching Peppa Pig before having a brunch with my mum and sister. Then when we came back home I decided to make some cupcakes.

I hadn't seen Harry since he came round Wednesday night, he left me a note for me to wake up to with his number on telling me to text or call when I woke up.

I texted him and we haven't really stopped since.

I gave Sienna a banana and mixed my vitamin shake as my phone began blaring, picking it up I take a sip of my shake.

"Hello?"

"Hey it's me,"

I laugh. "Harry why are you whispering?"

"I shouldn't be on the phone, I'm at a friends but I just wanted to say I'm going to LA on Monday for a week or two,"

I was surprised, completely caught off guard. I mean, why would he just decide to fly to LA?

"Er.. okay.."

"I was wondering if you fancied a holiday? Come out with me? Sienna will love Venice beach."

I shake my head trying to get it around what he was asking. "You want us to go to LA with you?"

"Yes,"

"But I have work, and Sienna has nursery."

"Can't you just.. take a break?"

I wanted to laugh at his oblivious attitude but decided that would be rude. "No Harry,"

"Oh,"

"I have money to earn, bills to pay, Sienna needs nursery in order to stay in a routine.. I can't just up and fly to LA, sorry."

"It's fine, I understand. I just won't see you for a little bit."

I don't know why this made me disappointed. I wish he had told me earlier, but theoretically it wouldn't be sensible, I haven't even known him a month - although I feel like I've known him longer.

"It's okay, I'll see you soon?"

"Yeah," I hear him sigh. "I've got to go, see you soon Harper."

"You too Harry."

. . .

"So who is he?"

I frown washing the pots from dinner as Edie stands beside me drying. She came over for dinner, Sienna was now fast asleep so we had time to talk. "Who?"

"Whoever you're seeing,"

"I'm not seeing anyone,"

"Liar,"

"I'm not!" I laugh.

"You clearly are,"

I sigh.

"Come on, tell me, I'm going out later, I don't have time to dilly dally."

"We're not together or anything, it's really early days, I doubt he even has feelings for me."

"But you like him?"

I was silent scrubbing a bowl. "I don't know,"

"You don't know?"

"He's.. different,"

"Different?"

"He's going to LA, he invited me and Sienna,"

"Shit who is this guy? Is he a celeb or something?" She laughs.

"Ha,"

"So what did you say? Please tell me you said yes,"

"I said no,"

Her eyes widen. "You said no?!"

I nod. "I can't just.. fly off to LA with a guy. That's not responsible. He took it well but I don't know if he was happy."

"Heck, I'll go with him."

I smile. "Oh Edie,"

. . .

Harry.

I was drunk enough to know where I was, but drunk enough to not really care what I was doing. I was heading to LA on Monday and for now I just needed a release, a way out, anything to get out this frustration. Unfortunately Sadie was in Germany for some shoot or something.

And that's when I noticed her sat alone at the bar.

Strolling over, her eyes lit up as she noticed me sit beside her. "Here alone?"

Her hair was to the side, lips red, perfume strong but sexy. "Appears so," She shrugs, a flirty smile adorning her lips.

"Harry," I introduce.

She nods sipping her drink. "I know,"

"And your name?"

She smiles checking out her nail polish before looking back up at me through her lashes, eyes filled with lust. "Edie,"
