33 -

I straighten my HMV uniform and sigh involuntarily, burying my face in my hands.

"I want to go home," I groan, interrupting Lauren in the middle of her own heated conversation with herself as she complains about how hair dye prices have risen.

"Gee, I do to but I don't shout it when we're full of customers, Harry." She hisses, flicking my upside the head.

"Harry?" I question.

"Yeah, Harry. That's your name. Are you okay?" Lauren looks at me.

I was so used to Niall calling me princess or Harry Styles (or stupid) that I had literally forgotten my own name for a second.

"Peachy." I mumble, "Go check on those seven year olds, make sure they aren't breaking stuff."

She pulls a face but walks away to do it anyways.

"Harry...Styles?"

"Uh, yes?" I look up at the girl in front of the desk. "Do you need help finding something?"

She had pretty olive skin, a dazzling shade of brown for eyes and dark hair.

"I'm giving you advice, because you need it alright?" She whispers.

I furrow my eyebrows. "Uhh, okay--?"

"Niall Horan comes into your life like a ray of sunshine in your darkest hour, he's cheeky and giggly and funny and he's everything you ever wanted," She says in a hushed tone, leaning towards me, "But, one day he'll take off his mask and you'll realize he isn't the light of you life, he's a cold-hearted monster. He's the dark. He's everything you've ever hated and everything you don't need. Don't fall in love with him Harry Styles, because I swear to God it'll kill you."

I look at her, bewildered. "Who are you?"

"I'm a nobody right now, Niall does that. Makes an everybody turn into a nobody," She whispers. "But if he cares, tell him Belle says hey."

"Wait, I don't--!" I jump over the counter and attempt to follow her, but then I see Lauren in the corner of my eye trying to rip a magazine out of a little boy's hands.

Maybe I should start reevaluating the criminals I hide in my house a little more.

"You're back!" Niall exhales the second I walk in, "Thank God. Charlie is so boring-- Just meows and asks for food."

"Yeah," I mutter, with less enthusiasm. "Hey."

"Why the frown? You're with me now." Niall pouts at me.

I laugh, flicking him in the forehead, "You're so cocky sometimes." I kiss his temple before walking into the kitchen.

Niall hums in approval, before asking, "Was is that Lauren girl? The one that wants to marry me and have rainbow-haired children?"
