***Harry's POV***

Elizabeth was beautiful. I hadn't been able to speak since the moment I saw her, but then she was about to leave so I had to say something. I didn't know what was happening to me, and the fact that just sitting next to her made my heart race wasn't helping. Once she was gone I was considering telling Louis about what was going through my head, but the rest of the boys were here so I decided against it.

''She was hot,'' Niall announced as he bit into his chicken. I scowled at him and then went back to my own food.

''She's engaged,'' I said with a disappointed tone. I had drawn that conclusion when I heard her talking to Carson, and then caught a glimpse of the ring on her left hand. I should have known that a girl like her would be in a relationship. I couldn't help the jealousy that bubbled inside of me.

''Do I sense a bit of jealousy, Hazza?'' Louis asked, clearly amused by my feelings.

''Why would I be jealous?'' I questioned even though I could tell by the smirk on his face that he knew that I fancied her. It made no sense though, I don't fancy girls, I just sleep with them, nothing more, sure; every now and then things could get serious, but I never go for girls like Elizabeth. Unavailable girls. Maybe that's the reason that I like her, because she's a challenge, and I haven't had a challenge in a while.

''You fancy her,'' Louis stated with a wiggle of his eyebrows.

''No, I don't,'' I protested, slightly agitated by the fact that he could read my feelings easier than I could.

''Harry has a crush!'' Louis exclaimed as he pumped his fist up in the air excitedly. The rest of the boys wolf whistled and I just sat there blushing and scowling like a twelve year old. Leave it to the boys to make a fool out of me whenever they find out something embarrassing.

''What does it matter, she's already taken,'' I said not bothering to hide the despair in my voice.

Louis laughed, ''you're an international sensation, and this boy ditched her to go to Paris! It'll be easy to get her to fancy you, mate. I mean come on, we practically wrote a song about this!''

 ''she said 'I love you' to him, it's something serious, and what if she's not the right one? What if I end up destroying her relationship with this boy and I don't even like her at the end of it?'' I pondered.

The boys just stared at me for a moment, none of them exactly sure what to say to me. ''I'm hearing a lot of what if's,'' Zayn said. The rest of the boys nodded in agreement.

''Just get to know her, Harry, then decide if you want something serious or not,'' Liam suggested. I could always count on him for the rational answers.

''And if I do like her?'' I asked, hoping for a reasonable idea.

Louis rubbed his chin thoughtfully before answering, ''invite her over to your flat.''

''What?'' I asked disbelievingly.

''Yeah, it sounds like she's going to be staying in a hotel for the rest of her time here, that's going to be a lot of money,'' Niall said, making a valid point.

''Exactly, so just tell her that you have an extra room at your flat and she can stay there until he goes to Paris. Then, while she's there you can make a move,'' Louis suggested. I thought about it for a moment and then nodded. Now all I needed to do was find out when I would ask her. I took out my phone and went down to the contacts section where I had already added her in. I clicked on her name and then waited for her to answer.

''Hello?'' she said from her side of the phone. I could hear a TV in the background, and I smiled as I also registered the sound of faint tapping, as if she was typing again.

''Hey, Elizabeth, it's me Harry,'' I said, feeling giddy at the fact that she had actually answered.

''Oh, hey, Harry!'' she said happily, ''what's up?''

I smiled at the sound of her voice, melodic as ever, ''well, I was wondering if you would like to get a coffee with me tomorrow afternoon.'' I was anxious to hear her answer, and the fact that she seemed to hesitate for a bit didn't help.

''Sure, I'd love to,'' she replied, ''what time?''

I sighed in relief and then answered, ''I was thinking about one. I have a meeting with management in the morning and if I miss it they'll kill me.''

She giggled on the other side of the phone, making my stomach do a flip, ''well we wouldn't want that.''

I smiled nervously, thankful that she couldn't see it, ''no, we wouldn't. So, one?''

''Sure,'' she agreed. After a short pause she added, ''I have to go, Carson is calling.''

I frowned at her statement, of course he is. ''Okay, bye,'' I said reluctantly.

''Bye,'' she returned quickly. After she hung up I looked at the guys who were all leaning towards me, waiting for the details of the conversation.

''We're going out for coffee tomorrow after the management meeting,'' I announced.

Louis chuckled. ''that's by far, the most romantic thing I've ever heard of,'' he teased.

''Shut up,'' I told him.

''Why'd you hang up so quickly?'' Zayn asked, all the boys nodded as if saying they were wondering the same thing.

I sighed heavily, ''Carson was calling.''

''Cheer up, mate,'' Louis said cheekily, ''you'll get to her soon enough.''

I just hoped he was right.
