Hey everyone! It's spring break but I'm updating anyway :)

Harry's POV

All throughout the interview I couldn't help but stare at Juliet. She's so beautiful, and it turns out she's smart and funny too. I've been flirting with her and I think she's been flirting back. Now the interview is over and we have to go back home. Everyone else went back to went back to the limo but I stayed behind hoping to get to talk to Juliet--alone.

"You did a really good job with the interview," I say genuinely. Juliet smiles her brilliant smile, "You really think so?" I nod and smile back at her, "Yeah." Suddenly I have an idea.

"Um do you know when the interview is gonna be printed?" I ask Juliet hoping my plan will work.

"Oh I'm sorry I don't," Juliet replies. Perfect. I hold out my hand, "Let me see your phone." Juliet raises an eyebrow in confusion. "Uh why?" she asks but she pulls out her phone anyway.

"So I can put my number in your phone. That way you can give me a call whenever the interview comes out," I tell Juliet. Juliet grins. "Oh why didn't you just say so?" she says in a "duh" voice while handing me her white iPhone unlocked.

"My bad," I say. I go to the little "phone" app, then make a new contact. I enter my name and number and save it. Once it saves I call myself. My plan is to call myself from Juliet's phone that way I can have her number without directly asking her for it. Wait...is that weird? I mean I could have just asked. But what if she has some crazy possessive boyfriend or something? She probably does have a boyfriend... Oh great. I've been flirting with her all morning and I don't even know if she has a boyfriend!

I should ask her, "J--." But she cuts me off, "Your phone is ringing." I hit "end" on Juliet's phone and my phone stops ringing. I press the home button and hand Juliet back her phone. then I pull my own phone out of my pocket and save Juliet's number. I shove my phone back in the pocket of my trousers. The guys are probably wondering where I am now. I doubt I have much time to do this smoothly.

"Juliet do you have a boyfriend?" I ask bluntly. Juliet looks at me caught off guard by my question. Her cheeks turn a light pink, "Oh, actually I-I do." Instantly disappointment rushes through me. Of course she has a boyfriend! What was I thinking? What guy wouldn't want her?

I force a smile on my face, "Of course you do." Ugh my voice sounds so wrong, so resentful. That is how I feel but I can't take it out on her. I try again," Tell your boyfriend that he is incredibly lucky to have you." She blushes deeper this time. "I'll tell him."

"Well I should probably get going," I say. No real point in staying here and trying to flirt with Juliet. She has a boyfriend and I guess I have to respect that. But we can still be friends...

"Goodbye hug?" I say stretching my arms out wide. Juliet smiles and holds out her arms, "Goodbye hug." I put my arms around her waist and pull her close to me. Suddenly I hear a voice behind me.

"Are you Harry Styles?" I unwillingly pull away from Juliet and turn to see a girl with long black hair and dark brown eyes. I have to admit she's actually really hot. "Yes I am Harry Styles. And you are..." I say trailing off.

"Harry," Juliet says, moving to stand next to the pretty girl. "This is Lizett Martin, my best friend." To Lizett she says, "What are you doing here?"

"I can't visit my best friend at work?" Lizett says innocently.

"No," is say. Both girls turn to look at me. I put my arm around Juliet's shoulders. "Because I am Juliet's new best friend." I know I said I was gonna leave but hey, I'm here with two pretty girls. I think I'll stay a little while longer.

"Lizett puts on a fake hurt face, "You're replacing me with Harry Styles?" Juliet looks up at me then back to Lizett. "Well he is cuter," she says with a shrug. Oh, so she thinks I'm cute?

"Fine I see how it is," Lizett says. "I guess I'll just leave." Lizett turns around to leave and walks straight into Zayn.

Zayn's POV

The guys sent me to get Harry. We were supposed to leave a while ago but he won't come on. I finally find him in the same room we were in before. Suddenly someone runs into me. It's a black haired and brown eyed girl. Wow, she's really beautiful.

"Ello there. May I ask what I did to deserve getting run over?" I say to her. She looks up at me with big chocolate eyes framed by long, thick eyelashes.

"Oh I'm so sorry. I-I really didn't mean to," she says apologizing. I laugh, "I'm kidding. Really it's fine." She relaxes then gives me a brilliant smile. I can't help myself, I give her a giant hug. And lucky for me she hugs me back. I put my mouth near her ear. "Besides I wouldn't mind getting run over by you anytime," I whisper in her ear.

Lizett's POV

Zayn Malik was always my favorite guy from One Direction. And I've always thought he was cute when I'd see him in pictures or on TV. But now its real life. And he's flirting with me! I'm so glad I decided to come visit Juliet at work. Zayn and I stopped hugging but we are still standing really close.

"Well that's a coincidence because I was just thinking the same thing about you," I say to Zayn. Zayn opens his mouth to reply but Harry interrupts him. "Zayn?" Zayn looks up to look at Harry, "Yeah?" But I'm still staring at Zayn. His eyelashes are so long, I don't know how they don't get all tangled up every time he blinks. Usually when guys have stubble it looks really bad, but on Zayn it's sexy. And his lips are so pink and full...I suddenly have an urge to kiss him. I bite my lip so I won't do anything crazy.

"We have to get going," I hear Harry say. Zayn rolls his hazel eyes and mutters something like, "Sure now he wants to leave." He's leaving? "Come on Zayn. Bye Juliet. Bye Lizett," Harry says then he leaves the room. 

"So it's Lizett?" Zayn asks me in his adorable British accent. "Yeah Lizett Martin. And I already know you're Zayn Malik," I reply. "Well Lizett it looks like I gotta go," Zayn says then he turns to leave. "Wait!" I call. I turn to Juliet and snatch a pen from her hands. "Hey!" she says. I grab Zayn's hand and quickly scribble my name and number. I look up to see Zayn smiling at me. I smile back, "See you later." I realize I haven't let go of Zayn's hand. I quickly drop it. Zayn laughs a little then reaches down to kiss me on the forehead. I feel my face turn red.

"See you later Lizett," Zayn says then turns and leaves.
