Fortunately Unfortunate - Harry Styles

29-Another World

Tiffany's POV

The kiss was like nothing I have ever experienced, I can't even begin to describe the feeling. All I know is that if I didn't know any better I had gone to another world where nothing else mattered. Unfortunately, I didn't get to stay in that world very long before my brain snapped back to reality and drug my heart with it.

All of a sudden all I could think about was how people would react if they found out I was kissing him. Becca would be thrilled, my mom would be happy for me but concerned that I am moving on maybe too quickly, the fans would either love me or hate me, and Cole would either be heartbroken or pissed, or both. Why should I care? I don't love him anymore, he has completely ignored me and has gotten so in my head tonight that I stopped kissing Harry. If I am happy, that is all that should matter. I hate that I can't just go back into that imaginary world where my heart still wants to be.

I can't believe how stupid I sounded when I said I didn't want to mess anything up. We've only known each other for 2 days. Barely. I think what I really meant was that I didn't want to mess myself up. I did remove myself from a long-term relationship, that wasn't easy, not that long ago. Although all my feelings for him are gone, something about me feels guilty. Then there's my photography career, I have been so focused on that, I don't want anything to distract me. I think the biggest one of them all, is my T1D. It is still a learning curve for me, and I can't imagine how I could try and fit a new relationship into my life with everything happening. I also can't imagine bringing this lifelong struggle into Harry's life; I mean I know that is thinking way ahead, but even just dating, he has such a busy life I don't see how he could make time for a girl like me.

Now I stand here with Harry waiting to give him an answer about tomorrow night. My heart says yes, but my brain once again is thinking too much and won't let my heart make the decision. I question him, buying myself more time.

"Harry, are you sure? I mean I was just messing around tonight, I don't want you to be disappointed if they don't turn out the same way".

"You said it yourself, that was just your small digital camera, tomorrow night you could bring your whole set up, take practice shots during the sound check, whatever you need. I can't imagine me not loving them." He has a big smile on his face, the dimples are making me melt.

"If you say so...alright I will do it." I give in to what my heart wants. Although it is definitely not that hard to convince me otherwise. Of course, I would love to take more photos of Harry and show him my work when I have all the tools I need. This is like my photography dream come true. I try and push away all the thoughts my brain was running around with from before. I let my heart be happy.

"Great! I am really excited to see how they turn out and to see you again, I'll make sure this one is the best yet".

"I think every one of your shows is the best Harry, so I don't think you will have to worry too much about that." I pause for a moment, deciding what I want to say next. He starts to say something but I cut him off by reaching up and giving him a kiss on the cheek. He looks surprised.
"Thank you for everything, Harry. I really am excited." His smile gets bigger now.

"You've thanked me a lot in these first 2 nights of me knowing you, and you are quite literally always welcome. Anything for my favorite fan" He gives that silly overdramatic wink.

"Fan? What happened to favorite fans?" I put emphasis on the pluralization of fans. "I thought Becca was included in that?" I joke around with him.

He leans down to whisper in my ear. It sends chills up my spine and goosebumps all over. "Can you keep a secret?" he asks and I nod my head. He moves my hair from in front of my ear and leans in even closer. "No fan could ever compare to you". I think my heart stops beating for a second or two. He really always knows what to say, even when we are just joking and messing around.

I am sure I am blushing but I play it off by pretending to overreact I gasp, "You mean to tell me you don't like my best friend?" I laugh not being able to take myself seriously.

"Hey now, don't go spreading rumors. Wouldn't matter anyways, nobody would believe you, you are a terrible liar" He chuckles making fun of the little act I did.

"Excuse you, that was the best performance of my life." I cross my arms looking up at him. All I can focus on is those eyes and those dimples. They are both going to be the death of me.

Harry just laughs and smiles at me, mimicking me as I cross my arms. I love every moment. It all feels so natural, it is something new, and yet comforting and familiar. I haven't felt this happy or this carefree in a long time.

Rebecca and Elin walk back in and see us staring at each other with our arms crossed.
"What's going on here? A staring contest?" Elin laughs and we both look over at them,

"Sure, we'll go with that," Harry says and repositions himself next to me.
"So, where'd you two run off to?" He asks to change the subject, which I am thankful for. I don't know how I am going to tell Becca everything that just went down and to have to try and explain in front of Elin AND Harry seems like the worst-case scenario.

"I just showed Rebecca my new guitar case, I figured she would appreciate it," Elin says and smiles over at Becca.

"Dude it was beautiful, it was custom made with the softest material, it was so shiny, it had all different strap options, places for extra picks, I think I went to heaven just looking at the thing. I even face timed Zach, and he agreed." She was talking so fast and I hardly understood why that was all so fascinating to her but I was glad she was happy.

"I have no idea why that is all so special but that's so cool dude!" I match Becca's energy and Harry and Elin laugh at us.

"Well anyways H, I am going to head home unless you need something from me?" Elin asks as she heads out the door.

"No no, thank you, Elin, everyone else already head out?"

"Yeah I think so, I think Pauli might still be here but last I saw him he was getting his things to head out as well".

"Alright, thank you again"

And he talks about me constantly thanking him, as he does the same.

"Any time H. Bye girls, will I see you both again tomorrow?" she asks us raising one eyebrow at Harry after doing so.

Harry pipes in before I could say anything.

"Actually Tiffany will be the photographer tomorrow night. And Rebecca you are more than welcome to come again as well." It was kind of him to invite her, I was hoping he would.

Rebecca gives me a glance and smirks at me. I can tell she is pleased that I have agreed to this, and she doesn't even know the half of it.
