What if?

Chapter two

Finally, it's Friday. My first week at the office went great. Mr. Vance was impressed with all my work and said I can slow down, when honestly I wasn't speeding up.

It's lunch time, and I'm sitting with Perrie, Gemma, and Sophia. I met them on my first day at lunch and we've really gotten along ever since. I found out Perrie has a crush on Zayn and Sophia has a boyfriend named Liam. Gemma keeps to herself and doesn't say much about herself.

"So, Bell, do you have a thing for any of the guys here yet?" Gemma ask me. I like how she called me Bell instead of Jezzabelle. Nickname achieved.

"Well there is this one guy.."

"IS HE HOT?"

"IS HE NEW?"

"HAVE YOU GOT HIS NUMBER?"

I can't keep up with them. I decide to answer with his name. "It's Harry." They all looked at me and gasp. "What? I think he's cute and Amanda said he's different."

"Bell, you don't want to go there." Sophia looked at me with fear in her eyes.

"He seems nice? I dropped my gum and he followed me to my house to give it to me."

The worry in their eyes disappears. "Sorry, nobody even knows his last name. Everyone is scared of him. He can be very intimidating." Perrie gushed.

"Well I'm not going to jump the gun. I'm not really sure if I even want to date agin after my last relationship." They all look at me confused.

"Do you care to talk about it?" Gemma ask.

"No not really." I realize I've been staring at my plate. So I look up and when I do, it's just my luck to see Harry staring at me from across the room. "Gemma.. GEMMA." Im trying not to break my stare with Harry. Our eyes are locked.

"What!" Gemma shouts.

"He's staring at me."

"Who?"

"Harry."

"Where?" Could she be more obvious? She stands up, and begins to search the room for emerald eyes that resemble her own. Now that I think about it they really do look alike.

"Gemma sit down!" I pull her arm down hard. She glares at me.

"I'm warning you, he's not like other guys." Gemma whispers into my ear.

"I'm gonna go get some coffee before we go back to our offices." I say to my small group of friends.

"Hey" I turn around to see Harry following me.

"Hi"

"What are you going to order?"

"A Carmel frappuccino, my favorite." I smile up at him. God I hope I'm

Not blushing.

"Mine too." Of course it's his favorite too.

We walk to the elevator together and ride up to floor 6. We've been talking for nearly 15 minutes and I'm starting to really like him.

"Well thanks for paying for my coffee." I know I'm blushing when I say this.

"Your welcome. Ms. Rose."

"How do you know my last name?"

"I work on everyone's person files. So I know more about you then you may know about yourself." Great. That's just great.

"Well u better get going, nice talking to you." As I try and make my fast exit, i trip over my own feet, spilling my coffee and scattering my files all over the place.

"Jesus, Bell!" Harry shouts from behind me. I frantically begin to gather my papers. Harry bends down next to me, his face inches from mine. "Are you alright?" He nearly whispers. I can smell his mint breath, how does he have minty breath yet he just drank coffee? "Bell?"

"Y-yes I'm fine." He moves a stray piece of hair behind my ear. Kiss me please kiss me. Before I process what I'm thinking he stands to help me up.

"Do you um, have a boyfriend?" What?

"No, actually I just got out of a horrific relationship."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up-"

"It's fine, really." I cut him off before he can finish.

"Well I'll be seeing you." Harry then turned on his heels to walk away. What just happended?

The day went by fast and I coulnt wait to get home. I want to get into my weekend wear, sweatpants and a t-shirt, and relax in my apartment.

As I'm walking towards my car I see curly hair out of the corner of my eye. Standing behind me, with a big grin on his face, is th one and only, Harry - What's his last name?

"What's your last name?" He looks puzzled.

"Why should you care?" Ouch.

"I was being friendly, you know like how you bought me my coffee." His rudeness doesn't phase me.

"O, sorry I.. I'm sorry." He looks confused.

"It's fine." I sigh and unlock my car door.

"Uh," he clears his throat, "would you like, to... To come with me to d-dinner tonight?"

I gasp, I think my heart just fell out of my butt.

"Y-yes, that would be lovely!" I burst with excitement. A little to much I think, Harry begins to laugh at me.

"Well, ill see you at 6:30? IF that's ok? I mean I know it's 4 now so if you want to make it later that's quite al-"

"Harry! 6:30 is fine calm down." I laugh at his babbling.

"Ok, thank you."

"No thank you." I smile to him and get into my car. I have two hours until he picks me up. This should be interesting.
