Harry.

"So what'd she say?"

"I don't go out after eight-thirty," Harry replies in a feminine voice. Louis chuckles, nodding. He picks at his salad, eyes remaining on Harry.

"What'd you say then?" He asks. Harry shakes his head, smiling. The waiter comes back with refills, both men thank her.

"I told her seven and I promised to have her home by eight-thirty, exactly."

Louis nods approvingly. "This girl is a tough one. She obviously is a self-control freak. You won't be sleeping with her on the first date," he replies.

Harry wonders if Louis knows this from experience or if he's just making it up. So he shrugs as if he doesn't care, though him and Louis both know he's not gonna go home happy.

He has a need to hook up with women constantly. Usually every weekend, sometimes more if the week is stressful. But Ashton is beautiful and she's uptight. Harry didn't know if he could wait.

"Say, shouldn't you be getting ready?" Louis asks. Him and Harry both checks their watches. 5:45 P.M.

"Thanks for lunch, see you this weekend?" Harry asks. He stands and so does Louis. He nods, giving him a hug in the most manly way possible. Neither said a word as they parted ways. They both new they'd go out this weekend to find women to hook up with.

Just because he was taking Ashton out doesn't mean he's tied down.

"Harry," she greets. She exits her apartment instead of inviting him in. She was dressed nicely. Her small dress was black and much too tight for Harry's comfort. Her clutch in hand. He also noticed the small marks on her wrist. He had hurt her.

"You look... great," he mutters. He doesn't want to seem too excited and scare her. For some reason his stomach is churning. And the thoughts of her maybe sleeping with him after dinner makes his mind go fuzzy.

She smiles, thanking him quietly as they walk to the elevator. The small ride to the lobby is quiet and awkward. She remembers when her and Nick were at the awkward state. She loved every second of it. But this, she doesn't love this. She hates it because it brings back memories.

Maybe this is how Nick felt when he was in the awkward state with her. This makes her hate this moment event more.
