Kai was right, this was a really nice neighborhood.

"Destination is on your right." Siri announced. I turned on my turn signal.

I pulled into the driveway, and quickly parked my car. I sat there for a few minutes giving myself a mental pep talk, thinking that would make some of the anxiety go away.... it didn't.

Maybe I should just go home. I can't make a fool of myself if I go home, but I'd be stupid to turn down a day with Harry Styles.

I took a deep breath in before I pulled myself out of my car. I think I adjusted my outfit at least five times before I arrived at his front door then I sat there thinking of how I should knock.

Why am I like this?

I slammed my palm into my forehead before I let out a deep sigh. I shook away all the anxiety, literally. I raised my hand to hit the door.

Was that too quiet? Too loud? Too persistent or urgent?

"I've got it!" I heard someone yell.

The door swung open; a boy with long, messy, dark brown hair opened the door, his face held a blank expression. "Who are you?" He furrowed his brows in confusion as his eyes scanned over my body.

"I'm one of Harry's friends. ''I said in a soft yet shaky voice.

calm down, you're okay.

"Harry!" His eyes looked over my body once again, "There's a girl here for you!" He yelled through the house. "You can come in." He moved out of the doorway so I could step inside.

"Hey, love!" Harry's accent filled the room as he ran down the stairs. He wrapped his arms tightly around me pulling me closer to him. "Everybody, this is Audrey."

I looked around to see a house filled with people. I didn't recognize any of them, but they all gave me a friendly smile. I could tell they were all wondering what he was doing with me, and honestly that's an excellent question.

I waved to them, very awkwardly if I must add.

"I feel awkward." I mumbled to Harry and he only smiled. They all stared a hole through me as they tried to figure me out.

"Let's get you upstairs." He grabbed my hand gently pulling me behind him. "I'm sorry about them, they don't know how to admire someone as beautiful as you are." I blushed.

"Thanks for coming to hang out with me, love." Harry said as he opened his bedroom door for me. I followed in behind him.

"Anytime. " He plopped down on the bed while I stood awkwardly in the middle of this room.

I felt so awkward. I was nervous and I didn't know what to do. Like do I join him? Is that too much? Would he think I was trying to sleep with him? Do I just keep standing here?

"You can come sit." He patted the bed directly beside him. I made my way to the bed beside him. "My friends are loud so I apologize in advance. " he said with a polite grin across his lips.

"It's okay, I'm not this quiet once you get to know me." I shrugged.

"Dude! " I heard this guy yell as he busted into Harry's room. "We are going to play Mario Kart, do you wanna join?"

It was the same boy that answered the door. You could see it in his eyes how excited he was and I thought that was sweet. He reminded me of a child on Christmas morning which was even sweeter.

"I'm with Audrey, Mitch," Harry said as his eyes shifted over to me.

"If you want to come Audrey, it'd be lovely." The guy winked at me. "Oh, I'm Mitch Rowland, but you can call me whatever you want. " He waved as he properly introduced himself.

"If you want to go, " I paused for a minute looking over at Harry, "I haven't played Mario Kart since I was a kid, so it would be fun." I said with an awkward smile pressed against my lips.

"Let's go then." Harry said with a small smile forming on his face. He helped me off his bed, never letting go of my hands.

I had absolutely no clue what time it was. I just know this house was almost completely full of people by eleven.

I didn't really peg Harry as the party type, but he looked to be enjoying himself. I could tell he was a social butterfly. I'm not sure if this man has ever met a stranger.

"A drink?" Harry asked me as he approached with two red solo cups in his hands, I shook my head no.

"I'm driving tonight, so I can't. I don't wanna risk anything."

"You could just stay here for the night." He suggested as his eyes wandered over the crowd, "I mean that's only if you want to, of course, but we have the room. I could take the couch tonight."

"I don't want to kick you out of your own bed," I said as I looked over at him.

"I wouldn't mind, love." He took a sip of whatever was in his red solo cup, "Kai tells me you're always editing or busy with classes, maybe you could enjoy yourself tonight." I raised my eyebrow at him. "It's just an offer, you don't have to take it, love."

"I guess, I could." He smiled as he handed me a cup. "What's in this?" I asked as I pulled the drink to my nose.

"Rum and coke, more rum than coke." He joked as he took another sip of his drink.

"Aye, come play beer pong." A boy yelled to Harry. "Bring your girl." I watched Harry's eyes grow wide as color started to appear in his cheeks.

his girl.

"I'm actually really good at beer pong." I nudged him with my arm, "You would totally kick ass with me on your team." He chuckled.

"Let's go kick some ass then." He held out his hand for me to take which I gladly did. He led the way through the crowded room, making sure no one was going to trample over me.

i kinda like you styles..
