"Why do we have to leave so early tomorrow?" I groaned.

"That was the only available flight."

"I just can't believe were leaving already."

"I bet you'll see him again. You've been spending a lot of time with him. I think he likes you. He's a good guy for you."

"What should I wear to dinner tonight?" I asked changing the subject. 

"Where is he taking you?"

"Craig's"

"I'll look it up." She said getting her phone. It takes her forever to look up something. A couple minutes later, she told me it was a dressy kind of place.

"Dressy as in like jeans and a nice shirt or dressy as in like dresses and suits?" I asked.

"Dressy as in like dresses and suits." She replied.

"Great. Well I don't have a dress nor do I want one." 

"C'mon, Sam. Do it for Harry." I started to fake cry.

"C'mon, let's go shopping."

"Why?" I whined.

"Harry's spent most of his time this week with you. You could do this for him."

"Fine. But this is a one time thing."

"Okay, now get up and get ready." 

Later...we were on our way to go shopping.

My phone buzzed. It was a text from Harry.

      Harry: Good Morning x

      Me: Morning :) 

"Where are we going?" I asked Mom. 

"The Grove" 

"Is that Harry texting you?"

"Yeah, he was just saying good morning."

"I know you're just going to get mad but he's good for you."

"He's five years older than me."

"Age doesn't matter"

"Dad doesn't agree with that."

"You should know now you're father won't like anybody you date unless he knows they're good enough for you and I think Harry's good for you. He makes you happy."

"Mom, it just wouldn't work. We're friends that's good enough for me." Plus I'm not good enough for him. He deserves way better but I wasn't going to say that to her because we would start fighting.

"And you don't understand what it would be like to date him. He's not a normal guy. He's in one of the biggest bands on the planet. I would just hurt him."

A couple hours later...

"C'mon, Mom. I'm getting tired of looking and trying on."

"I know, I know you said it a hundred times. Just two more than we'll pick up Jen and go to lunch."

"Fine." I groaned going back in the dressing room. I went to try on these two last dresses while Mom waited outside of my dressing room. The first one was a simply black dress. It was above the knee and has spaghetti straps. I liked it because it was simply. I walked out. I'm not gonna lie I liked it.

"You look beautiful and not like a tomboy." Mom commented. I ignored her last comment.

"I like it." I said looking in the mirror. 

"Is that the one?" Mom asked. 

"Yeah, this is the one." I answered.

"Great. Now you just need some shoes."

"I'm not wearing heels. I'll look like a freaking giant and they are hard to walk on."

"We'll look at flats then." I went back in the dressing room to change back into my clothes. Then we went to look at shoes. I got a pair of nice black flats. I also got a necklace and a couple bracelets. We checked out then went back to the hotel to get Jen for lunch.

Once we got back I got a shower so my hair would have enough time to to air dry. 

An hour later...Harry was on his way.

"You look so beautiful" My mom said looking at me.

"Thanks Mom."

"You look so different." 

"I do." I said looking in the mirror. 

"C'mere." I walked over to her. She fixed my hair.

"There. You're father won't believe this."

"Yeah and as soon as you tell him he'll never let me live it down." 

"I have to take at least one picture."

"No...Mom..."

"C'mon do it for Dad."

"No." I got up anyway because she wasn't going to leave me alone until I do. 

"Smile!" I faked smiled. She took a picture with her phone. There was a knock at the door. Mom went to answer it. 

"Hi Harry. How are you?" Mom asked. 

"I'm doing well, Sue. How are you?" I took one more look in the mirror then went to the door. Harry looked me up and down. 

"Wow...you look beautiful." I smiled.

"Thanks. You're not so bad yourself." I replied.

"See you later, Mom." I said going out in the hall standing next to Harry.

"Bye guys. Have fun." We went to the elevator. I pressed the button for the elevator turning around leaning against the wall. He was looking me up and down again.

"What?"

"Nothing"

"Which one you think?" I asked.

"Sorry." 

"Which ones going to open? This one or this one." I said motioning to the elevators.

"Oh. I think this one." He said pointing to the one on his right.

"Alright, then I'll go with this one" I said pointing to the other one. It beeped.

"I won." I said standing in front of the elevator. Harry was standing close behind me. The doors opened. We entered the elevator pressing the button for the lobby then the doors closed.
