"How the fuck do I date?" I snap at Niall. "I've actually forgotten how to do this."

He laughs.

"Let's just go out, and don't go out to pull," He explains. "Put on something nice, and talk to people."

He tells me like I'm learning to read a book.

"Easier said than done." I roll my eyes.

"Just do it." He snaps.

An hour later, I come out of my room. I'm wearing my black skinny jeans, a blue shirt buttoned all the way up, with my black boots.

"Okay?" I ask Niall.

He grins widely.

"Wow," He laughs. "I never thought I'd see Harry Styles with all his buttons done up."

"Piss off," I laugh. "Is it okay?"

"Yes. Now come on." He grins.

~~~~~

"Why am I here again?" I frown.

"Shut up and get a drink." He grins. This feels odd.

I roll my eyes, walking up to the bar, tripping on nothing, waiting to be served. I play with my lip nervously, tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Harry?" A voice calls over and it sounds oddly familiar. I turn to look down the bar where the voice came from.

A tall figure stands there, fashionable shirt and long legs, gently tanned skin, and curly brown hair. His hazel eyes look pleasantly shocked, his features still gorgeous.

Nathan?

"Oh, hi?" I say, awkwardly. I'm blushing so hard.

He quickly paces up to me, and I can't believe he's here.

"How the hell have I ended up in the same bar as you?" He looks down at me, reverently, making me feel odd.

"I thought you - Didn't you say you lived in Southampton?" I frown, playing with my hair nervously.

"I did," He leans against the bar. "I just moved here last week, because of a new job," He laughs. "I can't believe you're in front of me."

I flush, looking down.

"Why are you out tonight, Harry?" He asks, and the bartender asks me what I want. I ask for a lager, before looking back at him.

"I'm - yeah, I'm trying to date again," I admit. It was too easy to be honest with him. "It's time."

"Yeah?" He smiles politely. "Can I ask you for one?"

My heart jumps.

"I - well, do you - if you want to." I cringe at my own embarrassment.

"Do you tell yourself you're beautiful everyday?" He suddenly asks, taking my breath away.

"I - no." I admit.

"Harry," He coddles. "Right. Please come on a date with me?"

My mouth opens like a fish.

"Yeah?" I say, before coughing. "I mean, yeah. That would be great."

"Oh, you don't know how happy you've made me," He smiles gently. "Can I give you my number in case you want to change your mind? I know this is new for you, so I don't want to pressure you."

How lovely. My heart tugs, making me play with my phone.

"Of course," I smile, getting my phone out. "I'm ready."
