Harry POV

I really enjoyed the last few days with my mum at home. "Bye, have fun! But not too much please. At least not in front of the cameras." My mum looks at me with so much love in her eyes. "I know mum, I promise. I see you again yeah? Love ya." And with that I go to the car that is waiting for me.

When we arrive at the set I go out of the car and straight to make-up and clothing. Since I was here last year I know where everything is and don't need to ask Claudia. It goes quickly and I'm fast in the next car to the Villa. Paul is there waiting for me.

"Hey! how are you feeling?" That's a hard question because I don't really know. "Nervous but alright." is what I go with. "So your job is easy. Just say hello to the participants. Maybe some Smalltalk. A little laugh here and there. You saw it on TV. Yeah that's basically it." Yeah I can definitely do that. Pretend that I didn't saw the participants before. "Got it. And after I go in the villa with them or?" Paul looks at his tablet. "We'll give you more instructions after we wraped up this scenes." And with he goes away and I'm alone at the end of the red carpet.

It's kind of boring just standing here and saying "Hey, how are you! Have a good time here!" to every men who is coming out of one of the limos. Okay, well some of them got told to do funny things, so I have a good laugh sometimes. But Louis wasn't here yet and I want to know what they told him to do. Dancing would be funny or just anything. Freak Harry, suit yourself, there are more men here than Louis. Fair chances for everyone!

I see the last limo. The make-up artist fixes my make-up for the last time. I already forgot the names of the two men who just walked up to me because there he is. Louis. Breathtaking like before. He has a dark blue suit on which complements his eyes. And wow he doesn't need to do anything, he can be himself, which I quite like, because like that I can meet him like he really is.

"Hi, I'm Louis Tomlinson" as if I don't already know that I think to myself. "Hi, nice to meet you. Harry Styles." We hug. "I already know you name, you know." He laughs and because of that I laugh too. "Well, would be awkward if you wouldn't" We squeeze us one last time before we breake the hug. I tell him what he has to do now and he goes in the Villa. I look after him and with that I hear the Producer yell "Cut! We got everything for that, thank you" Which means I am free to go in my own room to think about all the boys I just met. And when Claudia says we start filming again I'll go to the men in the villa and need to talk to every single one of them until the first night of roses which will be quite fun but also very exhausting.

I quite enjoy my break, drink a coffee and think about everyone. I have a few men in mind which are more interesting than others, so I'll make a list in my mind in which order I want to talk to them so I mix them through.

"You're on in 5 min Harry, remember to talk to anyone please so nobody feels left out. After that you have time for yourself again to think and then I'll need you in clothes and make-up again. Obviously after that is the Rose ceremony. Just so you have a shedule." Claudia gives me a paper with my shedule on it and exits the room.

"Well let's go then" I send on last message to my mum and Niall and go in the Villa.

It's overwhelming because all the men are clapping and whistling at me. And suddenly everyone wants to talk to me. Soon there is a small croud around me, they gave me a drink, which I gladly accept. We talked together for a while but soon enough one of the Producers gave me a sign that I should start with the private talks.

I just go with the person right next to me which happens to be Ethan. I quite like his smile and he smiles like the sun as I ask him to come with me somewhere quiet.

"So, how do you like it till now Ethan?" I ask him. "It's nice. I like the Villa, but I like you even more" Wow okay, that's not the reaction I expected but okay, let's go with it. "Oh, ehm, thanks I guess" I chuckle lightly. I'm a little overwhelmed now. So I just go over to ask him questions about his private life to know him better. "Where do you come from?" Yeah, sounds good enough. "Well, I was Born in Paris, lived there till I was 13 and now I'm living in California." Interesting. With that I ask him a few more questions until I consider it as enough and go talk to a few more men.

After many talks I have still 5 more men to go. Maybe I should just go talk with Lou now, the talk I was waiting for the whole night. I mean there are a few men I have in mind now which are definitely going through but there are also some I'm not quite sure. Anyways I have a preference still towards Louis. If my mum and Niall would know this, they would definitely most likely kill me. I still have their words in my head: "Fair chances for everyone Harry, promise me. If Louis turns out to be an absolute asshole you'll hate yourself for not giving anyone a chance to find your soulmate." I shake my head. No such thoughts now go find Lou and finally talk to him.

"Hey Louis! May I just steal you away for a minute?" He nods and so we go outside where nobody is standing/sitting right now so we can have a private talk.
