-Ava's POV-
I slowly get out of the shower, my body feeling worn out in the best possible way.
As I rifle through my closet I turn on the radio so I can hear the boys interview as I get ready.
Feeling a little more confident about myself then I usually do I throw on a pair of black daisy Dukes that Poppy got me and a white tee with a skeleton on it.
The song on the radio ends just as I head into the bathroom to put on some makeup and fix my hair.
You're listening to Kiis 102.7 fm. Yesterday we sat down with Niall Horan and Liam Payne from One Direction. Today we have the rest of the boys in the studio. Zayn Malik..
Zayn: Hello
Louis Tomlinson...
Louie: Hi
And Harry Styles...
Harry: Hiiiii
I smile at the sound of Harry's voice, already missing it.
Now you all just ended the last leg of your first stadium tour, playing in front of hundreds of thousands each night. Tell us about that experience.
Zayn: It was amazing. Not many get to experience such a thing in their career so we feel very blessed to have gotten to be a part of something so big.
I'm sure. Now yesterday Niall was talking about some of the antics you get into while on stage. Anything in particular stand out to you this tour?
Louie: I do remember one instance where a girl managed to somehow jump onto the stage. She practically body checked Zayn here to get to Niall. She managed to tackle him to the ground before security got ahold of her. Never seen the lad so scared before.
Is there a lot of fans who make it onto stage?
Zayn: No, there's actually not many that try to get on stage is there lads?
Louie: No not really, they mainly resort to throwing things.
Yes, I've heard you've gotten quite a few strange things thrown onto the stage this year. What are some of the strangest things you've seen?
Harry: Well I get a lot of bananas thrown at me, but I do fancy them so keep them coming. But we get a lot of iPhones, shoes, books, things like that.
So you guys have a bit of time off now till your next tour starts. Any big plans?
Zayn: We do have a bit of work things going on but mostly I think all of us are just planning on spending time with our friends and families.
Right, and I'm sure you'll be spending time with your fiancé and Louis, you have a girlfriend as well..
Louie: Yes.
But Harry, what does a single guy such as yourself do to occupy his time off?
I cringe as I hear the question asked. No one ever leaves Harry alone about his personal life, something I'm probably going to have to get used to being a part of.
Harry: Uhhhh, like Zayn said we all like to spend as much time with loved ones as possible.
Right, so all your fans want to know, are you dating anyone right now?
I stop brushing powder on my cheeks and stare at the phone as I wait for his answer.
Harry: Ermmm actually yeah.. Yes, I am seeing someone right now.
Well, you heard it here first... Harry Styles is officially off the market. We'll be back right after this...
The program cuts to commercials and my phone instantly buzzes with a new text from Harry.
~You listening to the show? -H
To Harry: yeah
~He's going to ask who you are. You alright with me giving your name? -H
To Harry: Everyone will probably know by this afternoon anyway. And no hiding right?
~My thoughts exactly. Love you. xoxo -H
To Harry: Love you :)
I set my phone down, trying to prepare myself for the onslaught that is about to occur. I hope we made the right decision, but there's already no turning back. Once the fans know he's dating someone it's a matter of hours before they have a full background check on the girl posted on Twitter.
We're back in the studio with Louis, Harry, and Zayn from One Direction. We were just talking to the guys about their love lifes. Harry, you had just informed us that you are now off the market as well. Care to let us know a little about the lucky lady?
Harry: She's a song writer who worked with us on last years tour, right now she's heading up several large charitable organizations. Her name is Ava McCain.
Is this the same Ava you dated very briefly last year?
Harry: Yes, the timing wasn't right before, with both of our schedules being so busy.
Doesn't seem like your work load has eased up any with how successful your group is continuing to be.
Harry: No, but we are both in situations now where we can give a relationship priority.
There's going to be a lot of broken hearts out there.
Louie: Well we're very lucky we have such supportive fans who want to see us happy.
Right. Well we appreciate you guys coming on the show and we hope to see you all again soon.
Zayn: Thank you for having us.
I switch off the radio as I hear their newest song begin to play. I feel terrible for Harry. They always put him on the spot like that.
My phone buzzes nonstop as I finish off my hair and makeup and I inwardly groan, knowing that it's all Twitter notifications.
And so it begins.
The amount of Twitter hate I received after we ended things was ridiculous. Even though Harry tweeted numerous times, trying to calm the situation, it was no use.
I ended up getting off of Twitter altogether for almost five months. By the time I started posting again I received only a few hateful tweets every couple weeks or so.
After I pull my shoes on I sit down on the edge of my bed and unlock my phone. I read about three tweets before it starts ringing.
"Stop reading the tweets." Harry's voice sounds through the speaker.
"I wasn't.."
"You were. Give it a couple days and it will die down some. Then you can start professing your undying love for me." He chuckles.
"I'm going to start spamming you with 'please follow me Harry' requests. Let the fans know I'm one of them."
"To bad I already followed you this morning."
"You ruin all my fun." I whine.
"I'll make it up to you tonight love. Promise. The lads and I are just going to meet you girls for lunch so I'll see you there yeah?"
"Yeah. I was just about to leave."
"Alright see you soon Av. Love you."
"I love you." I smile as I hang up the phone.
Fifteen minutes later I'm pulling up to Five O Four, the restaurant El picked out for lunch. I see the girls getting out of Perrie's car as I pull into a parking spot.
"It's true!" El gasps the second I get out of Harry's Range Rover.
"Told you!" Perrie smiles as El grabs me into a tight hug.
"What's going on?" I laugh as El practically jumps up and down.
"What's going on?! Oh how about the fact you're driving around in Haz's car and he just announced to the world you are dating! When did this happen!?" She practically yells at me.
"Calm down El!" Perrie laughs as she leads us inside. "But really Ava, what happened between you two?"
I refrain from answering as we are shown to our table by an older teenage girl.
"Okay, now dish!" Perrie orders once we're alone.
"We just... Well I just kind of confessed my feelings for him and here we are." I shrug.
"You're in his car. Did you guys, you know?" El asks excitedly.
Perrie rolls her eyes at her, "What she means is, did you finally have sex?"
"I so don't want to talk about this." I groan, picking up my menu.
"They did!" El laughs, "Louie said he caught them going for round two this morning."
"Oh my god please stop!" I put my hands over my face as my cheeks flush.
"Nothing to be ashamed of love." Perrie laughs. "Though it is about bloody time. The lad was a proper mess without you. I knew you would get together eventually."
"This is just so amazing! Like you're finally a real couple!" El grins, clapping her hands.
I roll my eyes and excuse myself to the restroom, needing a break from El staring at me like I'm a newborn puppy.
I check myself in the mirror, feeling butterflies in my stomach knowing I'm going to be seeing Harry at any moment. I feel even more nervous when I think about what is going to happen, again, tonight. Not that I don't want it to happen. God, I so can't wait for it to happen.
A sharp knock on the door makes me jump, knocking my bag onto the floor.
"Just a sec!" I yell out, scrambling to grab my bag off the floor.
I quickly throw the door open, coming face to face with a very angry older woman.
"Sorry." I apologize as I move out of her way.
She huffs past me and I shake my head as I make my way back to the table.
I can hear Louie laughing from halfway across the room as I head back to our table, my heart quickening when I catch site of the back of Harry's hat.
Typing away on his phone, he doesn't notice my presence until I take my seat next to him.
His eyes shoot up to meet mine as a goofy grin overtakes his face. "There she is."
I smile as he leans over, placing his hand on my cheek and giving me a kiss.
"Aweeeee!" El giggles, making Harry chuckle against my lips.
He sits back in his chair, brushing a strand of hair off my face before grabbing my hand and holding it on his knee.
"You two are gonna make me sick." Louie whines as El smacks him upside the head. I laugh to myself, loving the way she handles the guy.
"Ignore him." El orders.
"Harry Styles' girlfriend... I thought they were only a thing of myths and legends." Zayn smiles at us.
"Ignore him as well." Perrie instructs, giving Zayn the eye.
"Just kidding love." Zayn gives her a peck on the cheek, earning a smile from her.
I laugh at all their banter back and forth as Harry types away on his phone. He sighs when he finally shoves it into his pocket.
"Everything okay?" I ask.
"Gemma." He rolls his eyes. "I'm surprised she hasn't called you already. She's going mad over us being together."
"Oh." I frown.
"No! Not like that!" He smiles at me, squeezing my hand. "Like she's already making Team Hava tee shirts, whatever the hell that means."
"Wow." I laugh.
"We need to go bowling!" Louie raises his voice.
Harry shakes his head at him, "You're bloody awful at bowling."
"So are you." Louie narrows his eyes at him. "But the rest of us are flying out midweek, so let's go bowling. Tomorrow night."
"Why bowling?" Perrie asks.
"Cause I may have already ordered us bowling league shirts." He grins.
"You really need to do something more constructive with your free time." Zayn scolds.
"Says the lad who spray paints his walls."
"Touché." Zayn smiles at Louie.
"Now come on! Niall is all for it. He already reserved us the bowling alley." Louie whines.
"I think it sounds ace!" El grins.
"Alright. Let's do it." Zayn agrees.
Harry glances at me, "What do you say love?"
"I say I'd love to kick both your British arses." I smile, looking back and forth between him and Louie.
Harry smirks at me before turning back to Louie, "Looks like we're in."
"Ace!" Louie grins, "However, you Ava, are going to lose."
"Doubt it."
He sticks his tongue out at me before informing us all when to meet and where.
After a full hour of Zayn fighting Louie over having to wear a team shirt, Perrie and I discussing a song for their wedding, and Harry repeatedly getting to handsy under the table we are all getting into our cars and going our separate ways.
"What do you want to do the rest of the day?" I ask as I buckle my belt. "There's a concert in Griffith Park we could check out."
Harry laughs as he pulls out of the parking spot and heads down the road.
"What's so funny?"
"We've together for exactly..." He glances at the clock, "14 hours. We aren't spending the day sitting in a park."
"Okay, well what would you suggest Styles?" I question, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Finn home?"
"No, he's staying with Jules and her family in the Hamptons this week."
"Perfect." He grins at me, his dimples popping and making my heart race.
