You're Mine, Harry Styles.

Chapter 23

I texted Rain and told her that she didn't have to cover for me anymore, I was heading home.

Once Harry stopped the car in my driveway, he kissed me on the forehead and said "I'm going to pick you up tonight. Eleanor will be there with Louis. And Niall too."

I nodded and headed inside my flat.

"Mum! I'm home!" I shouted when I walked through the doorway.

She came running down the stairs. "Oh, honey! Did you have a good birthday?"

"Yeah." I smiled.

"Well, what did you do?"

"Harry and I went out for dinner, then he dropped me off at Rain's. You know that."

"Yeah, I know. Just making conversation."

"Okay. Well, I'm going to my room." I said as I headed up the stairs.

I really want to go shopping.

There was some black skinny jeans lying on my bedroom floor so I picked them up and traded those for Harry's shorts.

After that, I slipped on my black Vans and put my phone in my pocket along with some money.

I decided to keep Harry's Jack Wills hoodie on it smelled wonderful.

"Bye Mum. I'm going to walk around town a bit."

"Alright, sweetie. Bye." she said flipping through the television channels.

"Hey, I'm going shopping. Wanna join me? x" I texted Rain.

"Uh yes!! xxx" she almost immediately replied.

"Meet me at Starbucks." I texted back heading there.

I ordered an iced coffee while I waited for Rain to get here.

"Hey Liz!" Rain said sitting down at my table.

"Hey. Where do you wanna go first?"

"The counter." she said while getting up to order. I followed.

"A tall chai tea please." Rain ordered.

After about 2 minutes her drink was done. "Thanks!" she said while we walked out.

"How was your birthday?" she asked me.

"Great."

"What did you do?"

"Just spent some time with Harry."

"Now aren't you glad you went to that concert with me?"

"Yes. Very glad." I smiled.

"Let's go to Journeys." Rain suggested.

"Okay."

When we walked in, Rain went straight to the Vans section.

"Purple or green?" she asked me.

"Purple, definitely."

"Okay." she picked out her size and went up to pay.

"Hey!" the guy at the cashier greeted me.

I soon realized it was the guy who wrote his number on my receipt, Tyler.

"Oh, hi."

"You never texted me." he fake pouted.

"I'm sorry." I said not wanting to get into it.

"I forgive you. You should really text me though." he got out a piece of paper and wrote his number down again.

"Oh..okay." I said not really wanting to take the paper.

"Bye! Hey, wait I never got your name."

"Lizzie." I said walking out of the door.

"What was that all about?" Rain asked as we headed towards Forever 21.

"Nothing. He just gave me his number the last time I went in there."

"He looks like he likes you a lot."

"I don't care. Harry's my boyfriend."

"I know. Just pointing it out."

If you've ever been in Forever 21, you must know how overwhelming it can be.

I didn't even reach half of the store when we finally left.

I ended up purchasing a cute black purse with silver studs on it, a black and white Marilyn Monroe tank top, and some cross earrings.

Rain got a Mickey Mouse shirt. She is obsessed with Mickey Mouse.

An idea popped into my head. Since I was going to Harry's tonight and Niall was alone...maybe Rain could come too.

"Hey babe, can Rain come tonight? Since Niall will be alone? :)" I texted Harry.

"Sure, sounds great. ;)"

"Hey Rain, I'm gonna be at Harry's tonight and I was wondering if you want to come..?"

"Yes! Of course I do! Is that even a question?"

"Okay!" I smiled.

"By the way, is that Harry's hoodie and necklace?" she asked, grinning.

"Yes, why?" I blushed.

"Just wondering.." she tried not to smile.

"Excuse me." a man who looked about in his 30's came up to me.

"Yes?"

"Hi, I'm Thomas Raddford. I'm one of Teen Vogue's directors and photographers. I was wondering if you've ever been interested in doing modeling? I've seen you around here before, and I think you have the right look. Give me a call sometime. Here's my card." he handed it to me.

"Oh, well thank you." I was shocked.

I wasn't model material. Sure, I was a bit taller than other girls. But I don't think I could be a model.

"Wow. It seems like your lucky day today." Rain said with her eyes wide.

"I guess." I shrugged my shoulders.

Rain & I grabbed a bite to eat at Panera and I headed back home.

"Hey..um..Mum?" I called out.

"Yes?" she called from the kitchen.

"I got offered a modeling job for Teen Vogue this afternoon."

She emerged from the kitchen. "Really?"

"Yeah, here's the card." I handed it to her.

"Well, I'll be."

"So can I do it?"

"If you really want to."

"I really, really want to."

"Alright. Then I guess you can. Better call this Thomas guy before he finds someone else."

I wanted to wait until tonight to let Harry know about it and see what he thinks.
