It was a little over a week since Alex and I had gone out on our first "date" and the photos of us at the breakfast place were posted.

The guys and I were allowed to leave the house and hang out like we used to, which was great.

And Harry and I were on much better terms, trying our best not to get too close, waiting just a little bit longer to call it official.

I was really impressed with how patient we were being.
Especially him.

If we don't count last week, of course.

It was a Saturday night, and I was getting ready for my next date with Alex, which was in like twenty minutes.

We were going out for dinner to this pretty expensive restaurant, so I dressed a little more elegant for tonight.

Tonight I was wearing a satin blue dress, that ended just above my knees, accompanied with some black heels and some gold jewlery.

I was a lot more comfortable with this dress compared to my black one, as it covered more of my body.
Meaning it wasn't too short.
And, it even had pockets!

I spritz a bit of perfume on, fix my hair and look in the reflection to see if my makeup was okay, when I notice from the corner of my eye, Harry staring from the bathroom door.

I turn my head to look at him, still admiring me.
Those green eyes of his had me in a chokehold.

I put my hand on my hip and tilt my head to the side.
"Hi." I grin, biting my bottom lip as a smile curved up my lips.

"Hi." He says, approaching me.
He shakes his head.
"You look stunning." He says, kissing me on the cheek.

My eyes close and I smile warmly, wrapping my arms around him as he kissed my neck over and over and over again.

I pull back slowly.
"Can't have too much fun yet." I say, kidding around.

"I know." He grins, almost in a sad way.
"Can't help it sometimes."

"We've been doing so good, let's not spoil it, yeah?" I ask him, straightening out his shirt and stroking his arms downwards.

We get caught up in the moment when all of a sudden there's someone else at the door.

Simon.

He had his arms folded and was looking at both of us with rage.
I quickly remove my hands from Harry, as he turns around as well, as startled as I am.

"Elizabeth, you have to get to work in a bit." He says, tapping his watch.
"Or have you forgotten about your date with Alex because you're busy with Harry?

"No Simon, I haven't forgotten." I say nervously.

"Then why are you both still in the bathroom?" He asks impatiently.
"Together, I might add."

"I just came to give Lizzy her purse, so she wouldn't forget." Harry says politely, handing me my black clutch as I blush.

I mouth a "thank you" to Harry, as Simon narrows his eyes at us.

"Well, now that I've given Lizzy her handbag I'll see myself out." He jokes, still being pretty polite.
"Simon." He says, as he exits, smirking, as he swiftly passes by Simon.

Before leaving completely, he turns back around at the door and blows me a kiss, making me laugh.

Knowing Simon is still watching me, I slyly grab it and pretend to put the kiss in my pocket.

I knew those pockets would come in handy.

"Elizabeth, I'm expecting full professionalism tonight." Simon says sternly.
"None of this hooking up business, understood?"
"You know how I feel about my clients mixing work and relationships."

I nod, pursing my lips into a line, trying not to laugh.
Simon, if only you knew.

"I understand, Simon."
"Trust me, it won't happen again." I reassure him.

"Very well." He says, nodding his head.
"I'll be in my office working, give me a ring once you reach the restaurant."

"I will Simon, thank you." I say obediently, as he leaves the bathroom.

I exhale.
That's one of the many times he's practically caught me and Harry.
That was almost too close.

I walk out of the bathroom, and to the living room, lifting up my arms energetically, giggling.
The boys all sat on the couch, whistle and whoop, making me laugh.

"Stop that." I say smiling, grabbing my wrist nervously with my other hand.

"Never." Harry says, standing up, coming face to face with me, his hands grabbing both my wrists, making me almost drop my clutch.
"You look incredible." He says breathily, making me want to kiss him really bad.

"Hey, it's Cinderella and Prince Charming!" Niall exclaims, making Harry and I's heads turn to face him, making us all laugh.

"Cinderella and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, more like." Liam adds jokingly as Harry rolls his eyes and I giggle, leaning my head on Harry's shoulder.
"What is that posture Harry? Straighten up." He says, making us all laugh and Harry straightens his posture.

"Where are you off to anyway, princess?" Niall jokes, as the other guys laugh.
"Are you late for the ball?"

"Yeah, right." I scoff, shaking my head and laughing.
"Tonight's my second fake date with Alex."

"Where are you guys going tonight?" Louis asks, curiously.

"He's taking me out to The Penthouse." I say, setting my clutch down on the couch as they all Ooh and Ahh.
"I've never been, apparently it's really elegant."

"Just make sure he pays the bill this time, Lizzybug." Harry says, pointedly.
"And while you're at it, get the most expensive thing on the menu." He jokes as we all laugh.

"He's lucky that he's even going out with you, Lizzy." Zayn adds.
"Quite a view he's going to be having all night." He says, as all five boys agree.

I fold my arms and shake my head shyly.
"Get out of here." I giggle.

"No, Zayn's right." Louis adds.
"You look magnificent Lizzy, you'll make everyone's head turn tonight, that's for sure."

"You boys are too kind." I grin, giggling as we hear the doorbell ring.
"That must be him, no one get it, I don't want another fight happening." I say, and rush to answer it, but I'm stopped.

"Don't run in heels, darling." Harry says, taking me by the hand.

"Make sure to reapply your lipstick after eating." Louis says, adding to the list of things for me to do on the date.

"Try to have fun." Zayn says, in a nonchalant manner.

"And make sure you're back here by ten-thirty p.m, young lady." Liam says, pointing his finger at me, making me laugh.

"Sharp!" Niall adds, making me laugh again.

"Noted." I say, nodding my head.
"Bye, guys." I grin as they all wave me goodbye.

"Lizzy, wait!" I hear as I get to the door, stopped yet again.

I turn around to see Harry holding my clutch.
"You forgot your purse." He says handing it to me as I take it from him.

I smile brightly.
"What would I do without you?" I say and give him a kiss on the cheek, and leaving the house.

Here we go again!
