Trust [ Harry Styles AU ]

N I N E

Around nine Harry drove me back home, but as soon as we got there the car that Maggie and I share wasn't there. Harry probably sensed that I didn't want to be left alone because he offered to stay with me until both Maggie and Bridgette arrived.

So we sat in his car for hours with music softly playing in the background. There was silence between us while our fingers were entwined, it almost felt perfect. Not going to lie I did take about three short naps and every time I would force myself awake.

This went on until the A.M when finally Maggie pulled up. I felt extremely awful because I know he's a busy man and here I was robbing him of his sleep.

"Can this day get any slower?" Maggie groaned.

She then let her head drop without putting any thought about the pain afterward.

I wince,"We clocked in ten minutes ago."

"It's just the fact that we sit here for eight hours, every, single, day! I can't take it anymore. I'm quitting." She pushed herself away from her desk and wheeled herself around so she was facing the wall.

"Become a vlogger, easy bank," I joke and when I turn over to look at her she quickly spun around and gasped loudly,"Don't actually take me serious."

She pouted and shook her head,"Nah I could never. I mean I've thought about it... but it's like I don't go out whatsoever so that's boring. Can't be a beauty guru because I can barely do eyeshadow. So I just have to deal with this dumb job." Maggie huffed and resting her head on the palm of her hand as she stared at the computer screen.

"Do you miss working for Amber?" The question was random but I had been wondering because ever since Aaliyah got employed, Maggie's mood has been all different.

"Pshh yeah right Emma! You're basically saying that I loved getting bossed around and doing pointless things for that barbie bitch! Which I didn't even get paid for." She said and then murmured to herself as she clicked away.

"But you seem so grumpy now. Look talk to Amber about swit–" As I spoke, from the corner of my eye I saw Harry's figure walking right past me.

That shut me right up because without even thinking twice I jolted up and caught up to him as he walked down the hall to his office.

"About yesterday–" Before I can say anything else Harry cuts me off by grabbing my arm and dragging me to the corner.

He begins to whisper,"Let's not talk about yesterday here at the office, it's unprofessional and makes us both look bad."

"I was just going to apologize–"

"Emma you have to understand that anything that happens between us outside of the office, should not be talked about here." He harshly whispered before hiding himself when someone had walked by, and without another word he left me standing alone feeling embarrassed.

"Yeah it won't happen again." I whispered and looked down at my hands. I sniffed away the daring tears and shook off my emotions.

"Emma I just found out that there's hot chocolate packets!" Aaliyah's familiar voice echoed the empty hall.

I turn my attention to her and force a smile to my lips,"Yup! They're deep in the cabinets. Surprised you found them."

Her small frame approached me,"It was like someone was trying to hide them, can't believe–Wait, you seem down what's wrong?"

"What are you talking about? I'm fine!" I nervously laugh, and play it off with a bigger smile.

She gets closer and looks deep in my eyes and I take a step back and try to avoid looking directly at her,"You're eyes... they look sad?"
