Holly's POV

I was ready, and nervous for this date. I'd spent at least 20 minutes on my hair only to have it look exactly the same.

I'd opted to have my hair down - it's always up professionally for work. I'd picked out a white blouse, black tailored trousers, black heels and a camel coloured trench coat.

El: Wait outside the restaurant, he'll be waiting too, good luck! xxx

Me: okay. thaaaanks xxx

I drew in a deep breath making my way down to my car.

When I arrived I couldn't see anyone yet at the restaurant, I was around 3 minutes early so I got out and walked casually towards the restaurant.

I'd waited around five minutes, each male that walked passed I'd smile at but they didn't approach. I was slowly getting disheartened. He'd either seen me and left or simply ditched me altogether.

I turned when I heard more footsteps to find the last person I'd ever want to see.

Harry Styles.

"Didn't know you knew of places like this to eat?" I smirk.

"I didn't know you ate," He shot back.

"Are you implying I have an eating disorder? That's pretty low, even for you Styles."

He shrugged turning to stand and wait patiently. "So what are you here for?"

"I just like standing outside restaurants in my spare time," I reply sarcastically.

He laughs, it was a pretty cute laugh I must admit. "Such a smart tongue McIntyre."

"You know me.."

"Seriously, why are you here?"

"A date. My friends set me up." I roll my eyes. I side glance at him. "What about you?"

"Date also,"

"Oh so you do date? I thought you just shag other peoples PA's."

"Where is your date exactly?" He raises his eyebrow. "Think he saw you and left?"

I swallow. "Leave me alone Harry." He smirks, hands in his coat pockets. "Where is your date?"

"I don't know but she'll show, she wouldn't want to miss getting a piece of this." He gestured towards himself.

"You're vile."

"Thanks sweetcheeks."

Me: El he hasn't shown I feel like an idiot. Last time blind date ever again!

I throw my phone in my bag seeing Harry on his.

Instantly I feel my phone vibrate.

El: He's there! He's told Louis he's there! Xx

Harry and I look up from our phones at the same time and make eye contact.

"Did Louis set you up?"
"Did Eleanor set you up?"

We both say at the same time pointing at each other in realisation.

"You have got to be kidding me." I scoff. I am going to kill Eleanor.

"I've been set up on a date with you."

"I'm a good date alright!"

"I can't believe this," Harry mumbles. "I should just go home."

I cross my arms. "Look, the tables booked.. we may as well just.. get some food and go home."

"But we hate each other?"
