I wake up to Harry's long limbs sprawled all over my body, his legs wrapped around mine and our arms intertwined. Something about this comforting state subsides the immense hangover I can feel brewing in the back of my mind, allowing me to enjoy these final moments of peace before the full affect kicks in. Harry lays shirtless next to me, his breathing heavy and curls spilled down onto his forehead, the black ink captivating his torso and drawing my attention.
I gently pull Harry's arms from around me and unwrap myself from his grip, I know that if I don't get up now i'll be late for work and that was something I couldn't afford doing so early on in the job. Harry re-adjusted his body to cacoon himself around my pillow, letting out a large puff of air before slipping back into his slumber. My head was throbbing and I needed water like it was oxygen, I quietly walked across the floorboards and pulled out a black pair of well fitted trousers and a pink collared blouse, I mentally reminded myself that I needed to go shopping before pulling back the door and heading for the bathroom. The hot water against my skin was soothing, it almost felt like it was removing any of the toxic chemicals that I ingested last night and allowing my body to start fresh. I swaddled the white towel around my body and applied a small amount of foundation in an attemp to cover the dark circles under my eyes, a light coat of mascara and a small puff of blush had me looking like a totally new person.
I poured myself a cup of the freshly brewed coffee and debated whether or not to wake Harry, I didn't want him to feel like I just left without so much as a thankyou for last night but I also didn't want to wake him for no real purpose at all. I decide against it and instead left him a note on the kitchen bench.
had to leave for work early, didn't want to wake you, thank you again for last night I really appreciate it. There's coffee in the pot, help yourself. I'll see you soon x
I grabbed my mug and headed for the door, the thought of sitting in an office all day made me feel physically ill, not to mention the fact that I knew Harry and my story would be the talk of the town, ensuring that I would be writing another article about our relationship. I jumped in the taxi and directed him to the Confession building, I couldn't believe that I had left a half naked Harry Styles in my bed for this shit. I walked through the large doors and waited for the elevator to return back to the ground level.
"Goodmorning," an unfumiliar voice sounded next to me. A tall slim man dressed in black trousers and a vibrant black and blue love heart shirt awaited me, his hair swooped into a flick towards the front of his face and a gorgeous olive green complex.
"Morning," I politely replied, unsure who this man was.
"I'm Nick, i'm new here, actually todays my first day." His accent was similiar to Harry's however with a tang of femininity to it.
"I'm Luca, i'm pretty new here too, todays my third 'offical' day," I quoted, ensuring not to splash coffee all over my fresh blouse.
We both entered the elevators door and Nick punched in level three.
"Editorial?" I questioned. The building was divided into three levels, level one was fashion and photographs, basically were all the bones of the magazine came from, level two was writing and printing and level three was editing and final approvals. All the head hunchos were based in level three, so I felt a sense of pride riding the elevator up the floors.
"Yeah, i've just actually transferred from Regal Magazine over on D'Arcy street so i'm hoping to spread my wings a little more here in the editing field." He seemed nervous yet composed, while still holding that professional ora.
"Ah I see, you've definitely come to the right place, I'm actually the head director of the editing side of the magazine so I can't wait to see your work." My words catching Nick by surprising causing him to crisp his alternative shirt out. The elevator doors opened and I headed straight for my office, smiling a quick smile to Nick before closing my door and thumping my body down into the cushioned black chair. Gia had already placed todays articles on my desk along with my cappucino and small posted note that said -' meeting at 11 in the conference room on level two :)' I peeled the sticky label off the cup and attached it to the manilla folder. Thankfully this mornings stories had already been written and all I had to do was proof read and edit the layout before emailing them off, I don't think I could possibly string a logical sentence together in the state I'm in right now.
I picked up one of the four articles in the folder and began skimming through the contents, the story was on Jennifer Lawrence's recent pixie cut and carried on to list all the other A list celebrities who have followed the trend, personally not a story I would even consider writing on, however I knew it was what customers liked to see, diversity and inspiration for women all over the world. I uploaded the document to my computer and emailed through the layout and finished designs. The title of the next story instantly catching my eye.
"We're Just Friends - Harper Andrews" It read, a clear photograph of Harry and I leaving Harwood arms, hand in hand, and eyes focused down. That bitch.
Harry Styles and Mystery girl Luca Taylor were spotted last night leaving Harwood Arms restaurant in South London, the two were snapped cozying up not only inside the restaurant but outside too. This wouldn't be the first time Styles has gone for a down under beauty, the two denied their relationship in earlier weeks however it's clearly obvious that some things you just can't hide. They carried on to Rush nightclub were they joined the rest of One Direction for a night of partying and romance, before leaving together around one o'clock. Get your claws out ladies, it looks like hearthrob Harry is officialy off the market.
Anger boiled inside me as a read every word Harper had written, I knew that there was no way the story would go unaddressed so my hopes of not emailing it through were very slim. I knew deep down that somebody was going to write about last nights events, I just hate that it had to be her. I uploaded the attachment to the software and began adjusting the layout of the piece, the photos were foul, my jeans did absolutely nothing for my figure and I knew the backlashed comments that would surface after all the teenagers in the world found out that Harry was "single". I sipped my coffee and stared at the article in front of me, head throbbing and anger fueling inside of me. The light knock at the door pulled me out of my negative trance and Gia popped her head through.
"There's somebody here to see you," an overwhelmed look overcoming her normally very relaxed face.
"Okay send them in," I stated before returning my eyes to my computer. The door pushed open and the hustle from outside bellowed through, I focued my attention on the door and there stood Harry, tight black jeans, black T shirt and his hair pushed off his face. He was the last person I expected to see yet for some reason the only person I wanted to see.
"I got your note, you don't like seeing me in the mornings hey," Harry smirked, dejavu setting in from last time he caught me sneaking from his bedroom the first time I slept over.
"What are you doing here Harry?" I questioned, now standing from my desk to shut the door, the crowd from the office had gathered around my door and I knew everybody was in shock that Harry Styles was here.
"I wanted to see if you were okay from last night and I thought i'd bring you something to eat," now holding up a small paper bag encasing a warm croissant.
"Thats very sweet of you Harry, thank you, I'm feeling much better this morning and I'm honestly so sorry for doing that too you last night, I was such a mess." Embarrasment lacing my voice as the visuals of last nights catasrophe entered my mind.
"You snore you know," Harry laughed, stepping closer to me. I could feel my heart beating faster as his fingers intertwined with mine, I don't think i'll ever get used to that.
"I do not and i'm pretty sure you elbowed me in the face so its even," propping my chin up to meet the gaze of Harry's, I didn't realise how much taller he was then me until we were leant up against each other like this, my neck cocked back and Harry's leant forward.
"Did not," Harry mouthed before pressing his lips firmly on mine, my mouth naturally parted allowing Harry to lightly brush his tongue over my bottom lip before catching it in between his teeth. I had lost all control over my body and before I knew it Harry had me pressed up against the back of my large desk, his hands cupped around my face and his tongue rasping around mine. Although the windows were frosted I still couldn't risk anybody seeing Harry and I in this position so I slowly pulled myself away from his grip.
"Ugggghhh," Harry moaned, pressing his forehead against mine.
"I know, i'm sorry, I just can't at work, what if someone walks in?" I replied, moving my body off of the wooden desk.
"You have such a dirty mind, I wasn't going to fuck you on your desk Luca, jesus who do you think I am?" The mischievious smirk returning to his face.
"Shutup," I dragged out before pushing Harry's body playfully away from mine.
"What are you doing tonight, I want to see you again."
"My neighbour actually invited me to his gig tonight, I'd rather not go alone so want to come?" The idea of going at all made me feel anxious, however I knew i'd have to make up some bullshit excuse next time I saw his inquisitive face around the complex so I may aswell go and pretend to enjoy it.
"Alright sounds good, i'll come by around six?" Harry asked.
"Yep, i'll double check all the details and stuff and then message you later on okay." Harry now taking a step closer to me.
"Yes m'aam." Leaning down and gently brushing his lips against mine, before kissing me on the cheek and heading back out the office door. The commotion came to a complete stop as Harry stepped out of the room and I couldn't help but laugh at what an affect this guy had on people. Including me.
