1 in 7 Billion (Harry Styles)

Chapter 30

{comment what you think! Here's a long[er] chapter for you all! Loves xoxo}

Hayley POV:

After departing from Harry's last night (after a battle of him begging me to stay the night and constant ass grabbing, I finally broke free.) I caught a cab home. Harry made me promise to text him that I made it home safe, so after that was done I jumped into the shower. The water always took forever to heat up, so I sat in the corner shivering. I heard my phone ringing from the counter top, and made a dangerous and slippery attempt at grabbing it. It was a number I didn't recognize.

"Hello?"

"Hales!"

"Taylor, hey! What did I say about you calling me that?" I half laughed, relieved it was someone I knew.

"Shit, sorry. I forgot."

"You're fine. What's up?"

"Well, I've been wanting to see you again and was wondering what you were doing this Saturday?"

The Tour Event.

"I'm sorry, but I can't Saturday! I have this event thing that I'm going to. Rain check?" I try to be nice. I really did like hanging out with him. He was nice and reminded me of back home. The good parts of home anyway.

"Damn. I'll just keep buggin' you until it can actually happen. If your plans fall through make sure to call me, yeah?"

"Sure thing. Bye Tay."

I hung up before I could hear him reply. My shower was finally luke warm, and I took advantage.

The Tour Event was in two days. Eleanor told me that a girl name Lou would be doing my hair, and that all the girls would be getting ready together. They assured me there would be no red carpet, but there would definitely be photographers inside the event. That settled my nerves a little bit, but I was still so nervous. Harry and I are official now. Well... I think so. Yeah, we are. We are. Maybe.
I'm pretty sure. Like 99.9% sure.

Anyway, I didn't know what this mean to be honest. I wasn't expecting him to announce it to the entire world or anything. But eyebrows will definitely raise when we show up together. Harry already talked to me about how the public would most likely react. He told me not to read any magazines or articles or anything on Twitter, for it was all "rubbish" and I apparently "don't need to see or read any of it."

After work on Friday,Eleanor texted me asking if she could come over to see my flat and have kind of a girls night. I put on some spanx and Harrys black flannel that he left here, and laid out all my favorite movies. I stole some wine from the boys penthouse and poured it into two glasses before I buzzed her up.
To my pleasant surprise, she wasn't alone. Sophia also came through the elevator holding tubs of ice cream.

"I hope you don't mind, Hay. Liam was being a complete twat." Sophia explained.

"Of course not! I'm so happy you came! What's up with Liam?"

"He's just being really distant and won't talk to me. He says he's got a lot on his mind and I think it's best just to leave him alone tonight."

"Men." Eleanor scoffed and the three of us laughed together.

"Hayley, love, we can't tell you how excited we are to have a blonde best friend now." Eleanor said.

"Excuse her, she was already drunk when I picked her up." Sophia giggled and so did I. My heart did warm at the fact that she considered me to be one of their best friends. Drunk or not.

"So, 'ave you shagged curly yet?" Eleanor asked as she took a gulp of wine.

"Nope. Not yet. Makin' him work for it yanno?" I winked at them and I could tell they approved of my hard to get act. They knew I'd tell them when it finally happened.
We all snuggled up on the couch as '10 Things I Hate About You' started playing. We gushed over young Heath Ledger, and drooled and drooled. We finished off three bags of popcorn and three entire bottles of wine by the end of the movie.
