-next day (around seven pm)-
"So exactly what does that mean?" I ask in a chuckle.
"It means shut up because we're here." She laughs as she turns off my car after parking. Exiting my car we walk into the restaurant. Chris couldn't make it because he said he has some errands to run, Claire and i both knowing he meat he'd rather shop then go to dinner. As we're seated our waitress takes our drink order, after she had returned with our drinks she took our order and went on her way.
"I wish you could stay longer." I frown.
"I was supposed to be in New York for a week but i have to leave Wednesday." She frowns.
"That's two days Claire." I sigh. Our waitress appears with our food, setting them down in front of us we thank her as she walks away.
"I know, i'm sorry. But it's part of my job." She frowns.
"Only cool thing about your job is you get paid to travel the world and take notes on it." I chuckle.
"That's not all it is smart ass." She laughs. "But i would have to agree on getting paid to travel." She smiles.
"Mom and Dad miss you a lot you know." I inform her.
"I talk to them nearly every day. They're constantly telling me how they miss you! Mom tells me you barley call her, she has to call you." She cocks an eyebrow.
"I'm busy." I shrug chuckling.
"I'm constantly traveling. Different airplanes and different hotels almost every other week. If i can manage to talk to our parents daily so should you." She says pointing the end of her fork at me.
"I know." I frown. "It's just whenever i talk to mom she only talks about that damn step sister of ours." I roll my eyes.
"Ew. Okay i understand that part." She giggles. "But that's still your mom, so call her at least once a week. Imagine being a mother and your youngest child not calling you for weeks!" She adds.
"Okay, okay i get it!" I laugh and she joins me.
"Hey, does Harry have a sister?" She asks randomly.
"Um, yes? How'd you know?" I ask.
"Is she blonde?" She asks quietly.
"I don't know i've never met her, why??" I ask again.
"Don't turn around. But they're sitting a few booths down across from us." She says quietly.
Furrowing my eyebrows in confusion i ignore what she said and sneak a glance, pretending as if i was looking for something in my purse. When i find him i see a blonde, her back facing me so i can't identify her. I shrug it off and turn back around, continuing with my meal.
"Okay that can't be his sister." Claire says. I turn around again and see the blonde stand up and lean over the table to place a kiss to his lips.I frown at the sight, the blonde gets up and walks in the direction of the bathrooms her profile now being visible. I frown again and face forward before either of them see me.
"You're right. That's Cara." I say shortly.
"That model?" She asks.
"That would be the one." I nod and take a sip of my wine.
"I thought you and him were a thing?" She frowns.
"I can't say i did also. We weren't anything." I answer shortly again.
"But he can't buy you things and kiss you in front of me- your sister-and takes you on dates or has you stay at his place and then bring some other girl out Selena." She says quietly.
"Like i said, we weren't anything." I shrug.
"So you're gonna tell me this doesn't hurt you the slightest bit?" She asks.
"Of course i'm upset about it, but we're both single. He doesn't date. He's made that very clear to me." I answer. "He's a free man." I add.
"Selena-"
"We're here to be together. Let's not let him ruin that." I smile. She gives me a weak smile but nods.
...
"I'm full. I fucking hate food." She laughs.
"Ready then?" I chuckle.
"Yeah." She nods.
We stand up after receiving the receipt from our check. Pushing in my chair i put my purse on the table to put my wallet back inside and grab my phone and car keys. After hanging my purse on my shoulder my phone goes off with a text message. I decide to ignore it until i'm in the car.
"Selena?" His voice asks. I was just about to make it to the front without him noticing. I sigh and turn around, to see him looking at me with his phone in his hand. Cara also looking at me with a friendly smile, her hand in his on the table. He noticed my glances and frowned. "What are yo-"
"I'm kind of in a rush i'm sorry." I interrupt him and walk to the front, exiting the restaurant and meeting Claire at the car.
"What held you up?" She asks.
"Just as i was about to pass him my phone goes off and then he calls my name. I'm assuming he sent me the text then heard my stupid phone go off." I groan and stick the keys in the ignition.
"Do you need to vent or anything? You know i'm here." She says calmly.
"I know, but no thanks. What's that gonna do? He wasn't mine and i wasn't his. I'm not hurt. Trust me when i say that, i just feel stupid sort of, because when i met her i could tell she has a thing for him. And here i am staying at his place and kissing him when someone else is already trying really hard to get him to be theirs." I answer. "I have to respect that she likes him. I don't want to ruin her chance on being happy." I add.
"God, you're too nice sometimes." She chuckles.
"Shut up." I giggle.
We arrived back at my place about two hours ago. Claire and i spent the entire time watching Friends on Netflix.Then before we knew it it was midnight. We had went to bed around twelve thirty since we just laid in my bed and talked about anything and everything. The sound of my phone vibrating underneath my pillow woke me from my slumber. I groan to myself and reach underneath to retrieve it. I look at my clock beside my bed to see it's ten minuets until one in the morning. After grabbing my phone i unlock it in annoyance.
"Chris i swear to god if you're calling because you forgot your key you can sleep outside." I hiss as i rub my eyes.
"Selena it's me" His voice rasps.
"What do you want it's nearly one in the morning." I groan silently, being sure not to wake Claire up.
"We need to talk please." He says.
"Harry i just said it's nearly one in the morning. I don't have time for this right now i have work tomorrow." I snap.
"I'm already outside your door. Just let me talk for a minuet." He says.
"Well then you can stay out there because i'm not getting up, i'm tired and have work as i just said. Just tell me now." I answer.
"Okay then come outside." He says.
"I meant now as in over the phone." I say, rolling my eyes even though he can't see me.
"No. Because over the phone you can easily hang up or continue to interrupt me." He says.
"Well then this will have to wait because i'm sleepy. Goodnight Harry." I say, i heard him say my name quickly before i hung up. I place my phone on the table beside me only to hear it go off again. Leaving it on vibrate i just ignore it and allow myself to fall asleep.

"Good morning Miss Carter." Faith greets.
"Hi Faith." I smile as i pass her and head towards the elevator. Chris had to come in about an hour earlier due to some meeting in his department. Stopping on my floor i walk straight into my office. My door being wide open for some reason. I leave my purse on my desk and make my way to the coffee room. Making mine and Niall's coffee i walk to his office, faintly knocking on the door with my foot since both hands are occupied.
"Come in." His voice echoes.
Opening the door i smile at him and walk over to his desk, placing the coffee on it. "Here you go." I smile.
"Thanks Selena." He smiles. "You look different?" He says.
"Really?" I ask furrowing my eyebrows, he nods and i frown slightly. "Is my skirt too short?" I ask in worry.
He chuckles and shakes his head, "No Selena it's not that. Ah, you're hair isn't curled. I'm sure that's it." He smiles. I chuckle and nod.
After asking him for a list of representatives who promote his company i head out of his office. Walking into mine i gasp when i see Harry leaning against my desk with his hands in his pockets. "What are you-" I begin to ask but am interrupted.
"I told you, we need to talk." He answers.
"I had a dream I was dying, but I found nobody there. And if one last night is all that we've been given, let's live it like we care"
