 Lilly's P.O.V:

To get out of bed on Monday morning was hard, very hard. Having had the best weekend I have had in a long time, I really didn't feel like going to work that day. I guess I just didn't want it to end, I never did.

I always thought ahead of things, when I am in a perfect moment, I always know I'm gonna remember and love this moment, and then I never want to leave the moment, I just want to live in it, forever. But, I know I can't, and maybe that's what makes it so special, and worth remembering, because some things simply aren't made to last forever. I knew this already of course, but I guess I'm just forever wishing one day my life will be a story of nothing but those memories, and everyday will hold one, and I will have a life that is actually worth remembering ,and looking back on, and smiling.

I did get there though, eventually - to work. I loved going to work usually, just not today, as all I really wanted to do today was think about Harry. He has been on my mind a lot ever since Saturday, he's just been there, at the back of my mind, and I know hes bad for me, but he's really not at the same time.

I walked out of the lift, and looked up to see Ruby and Louise running towards me, grins spread across both of their faces, it was clear they wanted to know the goss. I hadn't spoken to them since Saturday apart from over the phone, as I had to write my Kylie story all yesterday for today.

"Who was he? He was rather handsome!" Ruby beamed, looking at me with light in her eyes.

"His names Harry," I replied to the girls who looked at each other and laughed knowingly.

"We know it was Harry Styles! Like, the Harry Styles! But what was you doing with him and how was he?" Louise asked, piping in. My mind went blank. That was the one question I hadn't been prepared for. 'What was you doing with him?'  A question that seemed so hard to answer without revealing his embarrassing secret. The two girls stared at me, as my expression of happiness fell as I got dragged into a pool of confusement, that I knew would only lead me into a spiral of never ending lies. Finally, in the desperate minute I had left to not look weird, I found an answer.

"I knew him when we were young," It was the worst answer ever,ever. I didn't want to lie to them, but after that, I don't think I have much of a choice.

"And, we just went for a meal," I finished off, trying to distract them.

It didn't work.

"What?! You knew Harry Styles when you were younger and you never bothered to mention it?!" Ruby was nearly screaming with a mixture of excitement, and anger.

"I didn't think it needed to be mentioned. I didn't know you liked One Direction," The lies were getting easier to tell now, which wasn't a good sign, but they just kept flowing out of my mouth like word vomit, and it didn't sound half bad either.

"Everyone does," Ruby shrugged, who then turned to Louise.

"So, just tell us what happened," Louise insisted. Finally, I thought, a question I was able to answer - truthfully.

And that's how we spent our morning. Talking about the time I had with Harry and where we went, what we did; how it was like; what the food was like;if he was nice;if he was a good kisser. It went on for a while, but I didn't seem to mind and neither did they. If I missed out a tiny detail Louise would soon make me stop and say it again, but in more detail, so I got the hang of giving them a lot of detail about what happened. When I told them what happened at the end of the date, they were complete opposites of my family; they thought the whole idea of waiting to see if he came for me was a good idea, Ruby even said she would use it next time she found a nice guy.
