Selena
"I'm working." I manage to say after a moment of just standing in place. I walk further into my office and walk pass him to sit at my desk. After placing my coffee down i sit down in my office chair and open up emails to the representatives to start emailing them.
"Selena." He says simply.
"What?" I ask in annoyance. I frown at how it may have sounded rude. "I'm sorry i didn't mean to say it like that." I say quietly.
"Talk to me." He says calmly.
"You're the one who wanted me to listen last night." I furrow my eyebrows.
"Okay then. I'll talk." He says. I want to ask him wasn't that the whole idea in the first place but decide not to get smart. "What were you doing there last night?" He asks.
"Well, considering it's a restaurant, i was having dinner with my sister." I answer.
"That's it?" He asks.
"We talked?" I answer in confusion.
"How did you know i was going to be there?" He asks.
"I didn't." I answer with furrowed eyebrows. "You guys were sitting behind me. And before you ask how i knew that, Claire told me when she saw you guys first arrived." I add.
"Is that why you looked upset when you saw us together?" He frowns.
"No, she didn't even know who it was. She thought Cara was your sister." I answer.
"And how did she know i have a sister?" He asks.
"She asked, how else?" I answer, a bit annoyed to his questions.
"Did you tell her she was my sister?" He asks.
"No, she made a comment that made me curious. So i turned around and we both saw you guys kiss. So she figured it wasn't your sister." I answer simply as i continue typing on the keyboard.
"You um, you saw that?" He asks quietly. Instead of answering i just look up at him and nod. Then proceed with the emails. "Can you look at me when i speak to you please." He says but it comes out more of a demand. I stop typing and spin my chair slightly so i'm now facing him. I cross my legs and place my hand sin his lap as i look up at him.
"There." I say and he rolls his eyes.
"It's not what you think it is." He says.
"What are you talking about?" I ask in confusion. "Cara? Harry you don't need to explain yourself to me about that." I chuckle.
"I don't want you to think me and her are anything." He says simply.
"What you do is your business." I shrug.
"Why are you being complicated?" He asks in annoyance.
"Complicated? I'm being anything but! If i was being complicated i would assume you were a thing with her while leading me on. But i'm not. Because your relationship with her is none of my business. I'm nobody to you so there's no need to give me an explanation." I snap.
"You think you're nothing to me?" He says lowly.
"I know i'm nothing to you. We're friends if anything." I answer.
"I don't spend my money on my friends. I don't hold hands with my friends. I don't let my friends stay at my place. I don't kiss my friends. I don't leave hickeys on my friends. So no we're not just friends." He snaps.
"What is Cara to you?" I ask tilting my head slightly.
"She's a friend, that's it." He says and motions his hand in a way of saying nothing more.
"But you just said you don't kiss your friends." I say simply. He remains silent and i scoff lightly. "Did or did you not just as that?" I ask.
"I did." He says quietly.
"Than she isn't just a friend." I say, using air quotations.
"It's mainly publicity for her. She's a model Selena." He sighs.
"You wasted your time by coming here to explain nothing to me." I shrug.
"I'm picking you up at seven." He tells me.
"What? No you're not. My sister leaves Wednesday and i'm spending time with her." I answer.
"I thought Claire was staying for a week?" He frowns.
"She was but something came up." I mumble.
"Please let me pick you up at seven tonight." He says again.
"I said no." I shake my head.
"Selena i nee- Harry? Hey mate what are you doing here?" Niall asks with a smile as he walks in my office.
"Nothing. I was just leaving." He says and turns on his heel to leave my office.
"Everything okay?" Niall him.
"Yes. Just needed to have a word with Miss Carter. But it was useless." He says and leaves the room.
Niall furrows his eyebrows i confusion as he looks at me. "You two alright?" He asks me.
"Just a disagreement is all." I nod. "Did you need something?" I ask him.
"Yes, i need you to make reservation for me tonight at eight at Bouley for six." He says. I nod and he thanks me before leaving my office.
After that the rest of my day went by pretty quick and before i knew it it was six and i was all set to head on home. When i get down to the first floor i asked Faith if Chris had already left and she said he did. I frowned at the thought that i feel like i haven't see him that much, even though we lived together it feels like i've only seen him for ten minuets in total this past week. The drive home was a bit long, i didn't luck out of traffic like i normally do so it was an extra fifteen minuets to get home. When i finally pulled up in my complex i parked my car in my spot and smiled when i saw Chris's car. Hoping out of my car i head inside.
Unlocking my door i sigh in relief to be home.Closing it behind me i call for Chris or Claire but don't hear anything. I frown but continue to walk through the foyer until i reach the livjng room where Chris and Claire are seated on the couch with Harry.
"Hey sis." Claire smiles.
"Hey bitch." Chris adds with a grin.
"Hi." Harry smiles small.
"Hi.." I trail off. "Why are you here?" I ask him.
"Having a chat with Christopher and Claire." He answers.
"Again leaving me to ask you.. why?" I ask again.
"I wanted to see you." He says lowly.
"Well you did." I answer.
He sighs and stands up off of the couch. Walking over towards me. "Stop acting this way." He says quietly.
"I'm not acting anyway." I shake my head.
"Yes you are." He snaps quietly. "It's you. okay. I'm spending my free time with you. Yesterday she asked me to accompany her and i did. Yes i allowed her to kiss me but to satisfy her and help her." He adds.
"She likes you. And i won't be the one to stop her from being able to have you. Everyone deserves to be happy. And she's happy when she's with you. So why should i interfere with that? I shouldn't. Because that isn't fair. And i wouldn't want someone to do that to me." I say quietly.
"You said everyone deserves to be happy.." He says.
"I know.. and they do." I answer.
"I'm happy when i'm with you." He whispers, his hand reaching for mine. He keeps it in his ad rubs his thumb over my knuckles.
"I believe you." But you need to sort out your relationship with her." I answer.
"There is no relationship. I don't have feelings for her. Me and her are nothing. I told you I don't do the boyfriend girlfriend nonsense it's a waste of time." He says in annoyance.
"Then what's the point of coming to my house? You don't want a relationship then why do you feel the need to give me explanations and talk this out?" U ask completely confused at this point.
"You know I don't have time for a girlfriend. But I don't want to lose you. I like spending the time that I can with you. You make me feel something. I opened up to you for fucks sake, I told you about my family and my childhood I don't do those kind of things." He snaps.
"I don't know what it is you want from me then. Because i was already starting to like you, as in gaining feelings for you. And I'm glad you I stopped when I saw you at dinner because then you would have lead me on for what? To tell me you don't have time for a girlfriend? To tell me that whatever out 'relationship' is means nothing because we're nothing? I won't have that." I respond.
"What I want from you is to know that I'm trying. And I will continue to try, for you. For you to remain single and not hook up or go on dates with other men. To agree to try to like the fact that I'm trying." He sighs. "I need more time with you before this all goes downhill Selena." He adds quietly.
"Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring. Can't keep this beating heart at bay. Set my midnight sorrow free, I will give you all of me, just leave your lover, leave him for me."
