The next morning I wake up to yet more notifications from Emma. I really should get back to her.

4ever1D: Ellie you're in the damn tabloids I NEED answers

El come one wtf is going on????

EllieMandM: we went on a date type thing
It still doesn't seem real.
I think something big is coming though with the boys...and I don't know if it's going to be good

I leave it at that not wanting to say too much and break Harry's trust. I'm sure it'll all come out in the end anyways.

Emma fires back with another rapid round of questions but I just don't have answers for her. I close the messages and exit the app.

I throw my phone on the bed and stare up at my ceiling. I have nothing to do today. I can't go to work, Kambrie has work and that pretty much rounds out my options. Just as I pick my phone back up thinking I'd like to text Harry to see what he's up to, his name flashes across the top of my screen.

I know I said you could plan our next date, but there's a party tonight, some record label thing we're being made to go to and I'd love if you'd go with me...

I was unaware we'd had a first date Harold.

There was an Instagram pic and everything Elouise.

So that WAS about me ☺️

Obviously?

I didn't want to assume, Harold.

🙄 yeah yeah. So will you be joining me tonight?

I think that can be arranged.
What should I wear?

I'll take care of it, you can get ready with us. I'll pick you up at 2.

I look down at my phone and realize it's already 1. I had let the morning slip away from me without noticing. I run to my shower turning on the water I quickly undress and step in. I wash my hair and body as fast as humanly possible. I get out the shower and set to work blow drying my hair. By the time my long brown hair is finally dry I only have 15 minutes until Harry said he would be here. I throw makeup into a bag knowing I won't have time to do it here. I throw clothes out of my closet until I reach a black slip on dress. It's sleeveless and hits at the tops of my thighs. I pair it with my white vans and a black plastic choker. I slide my feet into my white slip on vans and fall on to the bed. I haven't been laid down for thirty seconds when my phone rings

I'm here.

When he'd said he would pick me up I'd assumed he'd send a car like he had before but as I look out my window I see a black Range Rover parked in the drive. I hop of the bed and race down stairs.

"Hi gorgeous" he says as I enter the car. I blush in response.

"Hey, handsome. I wasn't expecting you to actually come I thought you'd send your driver."

"Nah I thought it might be nice to spend some alone time with you before were surrounded by people tonight."

"So where is it we're going right now exactly?" I ask curiously.
