A Hit In The Making | H.S | 1D |

Chapter 5

Harry's POV:

6:38am. Louis, Niall, Zayn and I are already dressed and having breakfast in the dining room of our joint rental house while Liam is making scrambled eggs in the kitchen. There's still an hour before we need to leave for the studio and I wish I were still in bed. Of course, I didn't get much sleep last night. I'd practically beem up all night and couldn't stop thinking about Rachel; her voice, her smile, her unsuspecting gaze and adorable laugh; the feel of her hand in mine and the genuine love that constantly shown in her eyes. Even her hair; it's smelled incredible. Like honey, coconut and a hint of sweet lavender. It was enough to drive me crazy in every best way possible.

"What're you daydreaming about there, loverboy?" Zayn asks teasingly. I look up to see quite the mischievous grin playing across his face. "Oh I know this one. Could it be Steep? The lovely brunette that you just couldn't keep your eyes off of?" Louis joins in, causing me to stop mid-crunch and stare intensely at the two. "Mind your own business" I reply more harshly than I intended. Chill out, Harry. You shouldn't be so worked up this early in the morning. "Ohhhh my bad. But youre practically droolin over there. It's pretty obvious. We're only making an observation" Zayn replies sarcastically and chuckles to himself. "Honestly, I don't think any of us could stop thinking about her.  She was very nice to all of us. And she's funny too" Niall adds whilst he works on his breakfast burrito. "Yeah, she seemed genuine. I like her" Liam half yells from the kitchen. I'm surprised he can here all of this over the sound of clanking dishes and sizzling bacon.
"Yeah, me too. It was nice meeting someone without her asking something of us, y'know?" Zayn looks around and we all nod in approval.

"Not to mention the girl was pretty easy on the eyes. Kind of hot, even. But not really in a showy way. Like she wasn't even trying. You dont see a lot of that these days" Louis states, once again receiving appoving nods. "I mean did you see how long her hair is?" Niall let's out an exasperated sigh. "That's one of the first things I noticed, actually" I chime in and finish the milk in my bowl.

"I wonder what she's doing right now" I say, staring aimlessly at the clock above the doorway leading out to the back deck. "Me too. I kind of wish she were here" Liam replies as he sets his plate down on the glass tabletop. "Wait a minute, didn't one of you get her number yesterday?" Zayn asks, eyeing Niall and I hopefully. "Oh that's right! Hang on let me grab my phone" Niall darts down the hallway and into his room. When he returns Louis, Zayn, Liam and I already have our phones out and ready to add Rachel's contact information.

"Well get on with it then! What's her number?" Louis asks in anticipation. I can't remember the last time I've seen the lads so energetic in the morning. Niall rattles off her digits whilst I work at creating the group chat. In a matter of seconds the chat is created and the boys are each sending their names, encouraging Rachel to save their contact info. "This should be fun" Niall says enthusiastically. I think he was looking forward to this most out of everyone.

Two minutes pass before we receive a response. The second one phone buzzed, the others quickly followed suit and everyone immediately opened their iMessage app.

From Rachel:
Hey guys! I just woke up lol. Everybody having a good morning?

Ringo:
Yeah, we're all having breakfast right now. What time will you be at the studio?

Rachel:
Sometime around nine-ish. Maybe earlier but it depends. How about y'all?

Nialler:
Paul says we have to get an early start on today. we leave in a half hour
