Past, Present, No Future. (Harry Styles)

85. Stella

~ Harry's _ POV +

"I was hoping we can forget what happened last night" I told Meliza when I found myself standing in the bar again the night after the incident, "Because I love my girlfriend"

"Ex-girlfriend" I corrected myself.

Meliza looked up at me as she wiped down the counter top, "And I'm hoping we can forget what happened last night too, because I love my boyfriend"

"Didn't know you had one" I tried to tease as I sat down on one of the bar stools.

"I don't, just thought it would add to the effect" Meliza laughed and placed a shot glass in front of me along with pouring in a brand of alcohol in which I happily brought to my lips.

The sound of glass being shattered behind me caught me attention having me turn around to see what had caused it.

"I don't need your money!" a female American voice called throughout the place.

I saw the girl speaking, she grabbed the man's drink and threw it at his fresh dress shirt.

The man she was yelling at stood up leaving the bar and her sitting at the table.

"Who is that?" I asked Meliza who had been as well looking at the scene.

"The man or the girl?"

"The girl"

"Her name's Stella" she began to say, "She's always in here shagging man to man, she's gotten a reputation for it"

Stella had long brown hair, it being pushed back from the front of her face. She wore skin tight jeans along with black boots that reached to the middle of her calf.

"She's American, am I correct?"

"Very" Meliza answered, "Why so interested?"

"No reason" I turned back to Meliza, "Just curious" I smiled cheekily.

"Excuse me" I pardoned myself, leaving my drink on the bar,

I walked over to where Stella sat on her cell phone, sliding in to where the man was sitting before he left. "Douche bags these days" I began, "Only caring for themselves"

"Tell me about it" she rolled her eyes, pushing her dark hair to the back of her head.

"Harry Styles" I reached my hand over the table for her to shake.

"Stella" she gave me a smirk.

"Stella what?"

"What's it to you?" she laughed, "You don't need to know my last name, I'm just Stella to you"

"Well then I take my last name back, I'm just Harry to you"

"No way Styles" she laughed again, "Although I am very ecstatic to meet you, I have to leave" she stood up from the table, stringing a bag to her shoulder.

"Will you be here tomorrow?" I asked as she walked away.

"Maybe, maybe not" she called before exiting the place.

I looked over to where Meliza was at the bar, she rolled her eyes at me.

"You're playing with the lioness Harry, you're going to get bit"

"I don't care, depends where's she's biting me" I winked.

And she made me forget about Vanessa.

The next day I came back to the bar, had Meliza give me the usual anonymous drink, but this time I searched the place for Stella.

She wasn't there, so I left early that day and came back the next and again. No Stella.
