Artist: Rihanna ft. Drake

Harry

"That is not what we agreed to." I sigh.

"Well whatever we agreed to, you aren't following it by continuing your visits." She scolds.

"I send you money. And you send me photos. That is all. We will start following that again from now on." I say.

"She asks for you Harry." She says. "You're the one who came over to my house to see her. You said you wanted to see her in person and you did but she asks for you constantly now. So if you want to keep seeing your daughter you need to makeup your mind." She adds.

"Irina i do not have time to be a father. You are fully aware i couldn't be a father figure to her even if i wanted to be." I respond.

"Regardless of what you think, she's your daughter." She says.

"I know. Which is why i send you money every month. Irina i'm a shit person as it is, do you really think i could be there for her?" I huff.

"You said you would try.." She says lowly.

"We were nineteen Irina." I sigh. "When you told me you were pregnant i didn't know what the hell to do! We were both nineteen, we were young, hell we're still young! I couldn't support her then. But i can now and that's what i'm doing. But i can't be there for her as her father. I'm too busy to have a child." I say ashamed.

"You don't have time to be the father to your child, but you have the time to date Niall's employee." She scoffs.

My mind went instantly to Selena. Wondering if she'll call me or text me back. If she'll still come by later. "I already told you. She and i are not together." I answer.

"That's a lie and you know it." She says.

"It's not. Me and her are noth-" I begin but am interrupted by the sound of a knock on my doors.

"Who is it?" I call out.

"The one and only." Louis's voice sounds. Irina scoots over on my desk slightly so i can press the button to open my doors. Doing so the doors open and Louis speaks. "She has your file! I'm busy ill talk to you later!" He calls as a girl is pushed into my office.

I easily recognize the long brown hair and long skinny legs. She hesitantly turns around, her eyes widen slightly but go back to normal. I'm fully aware how this looks to her as Irina is propped up on my desk.

"I'm so sorry, i didn't know you were busy." She says quietly. "I should have called, i'm sorry." She apologizes again. She takes a few steps further into my office and places the file down on the coffee table in front of my desk between the two chairs. "Again i'm sorry." She says shyly and turns to walk away. I feel the n need to call her and tell her to not to leave.

But i don't.

She walks towards the doors and they slide open, she leaves my office without even a glance back and feel this little empty whole inside now that she's gone and i didn't even try to stop her.

"Are you or are you not seeing her?" Irina asks.

I sigh and run my hand over my face. I don't date. Irina knows i don't. She was my last girlfriend.. well fiance technically. But regardless, Irina was my last relationship and we were twenty when we split up. We met in year eleven in college, or 'high school'. We were seventeen at the time and lasted three years. Then came the day i feared most, when she broke the news she was pregnant. I was just starting to take over my fathers business and was no way in hell ready to be a father. But once Irina had our daughter i was already CEO of the company and was able to provide for the both of them. Irina is a model so she doesn't need my money, but i send her money for Millie, and a little extra for herself.

"Harry." She says , breaking me from my thoughts.

"We're not dating." I answer. "But she's not just a friend." I add.

...

I let out a long sigh as i make my way to her apartment door. I feel.. nervous to see her after earlier today. Knocking on the door i hear Chris's voice yell that he was on his way to the door. It opens and he raises his eyebrows.

"Here to pick me up and take me on a date hot stuff?" He smiles and i chuckle.

"Is she here?" I ask.

"She is." He nods and motions for me to enter. I walk pass him and stand beside him as he closes the door. Her room is down that hall to the right, second door on the left. Just walk in." He says as he returns to the sofa.

I thank him and make my way through their apartment. I reach her door and knock twice. I don't hear a response so i slowly open the door. I feel i'm violating her privacy but Chris did tell me to just walk in. As i open the door her room is how i would picture it to be. All the furniture white, the bed sheets and pillows white, white curtains and white mirrors. She has some grey essentials such as a pillow on her bed or the chair to her vanity. The carpet also being grey.

I hear a gasp making me turn around and my eyes widen slightly. I turn back around and smirk to myself. "I'm sorry i-"

"What are you doing here?" She asks, her voice full of annoyance.

"Came to see you." I chuckle and slowly turn back around.

"Harry turn around." She says as she crosses her arms over her body. She's in a pair of matching dark red bra and panties, though i'm unsure why she's so shy all of the sudden.

"Selena I've gone down on you.. you don't need to be shy." I smirk and she rolls her eyes as she goes to her dresser. She pulls out a pair of black yoga pants and a white v-neck. "White shirt with red bra... nice." I comment and she rolls her eyes.

"What do you need?" She asks as she brushes through her wet hair.

"You." I say simply.

"Really Harry, what do you need?" She asks as she puts her hair brush and sits on her bed.

"I answered that." I answer.

"I don't buy that." She shrugs.

"I don't blame you." I say lowly.

"I'm not saying i'm the type of girl who deserves the world, but i know i don't deserve to be a second option." She says.

"You're not my second option." I shake my head quickly.

"Your actions would agree to disagree." She huffs.

"Irina was my last girlfriend." I say and she looks up at me with furrowed eyebrows. "We still are on speaking terms, we're good friends. But that's only because of our daughter you don't need to worry about her." I add. "I just need you to know that i do care about you, and do want you to be my g-"

"Wait, did you say your daughter?" She interrupts me with raised eyebrows.

"It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to, an't deny that I want you, but I'll lie if I have to. Cause you don't say you love me, to your friends when they ask you, even though we both know that you do..."

It was that moment, he knew he fucked up.
