work it out (harry styles)

Chapter 7

I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. Last night was a very emotional; night to say the least. I had my first major panic attack in years, and I finally knew how I felt about Harry. I really, really, really, liked Harry. And I couldn't help but hope he really, really, really, liked me too.

I got up from my bed and quickly washed my face. After that I went into the kitchen and made my breakfast. My phone buzzed, and I saw I got a message in a group message which included two of my best friends out here in L.A., Hadlee and Laken. 'hey girl! you have a lot to explain to me ! lol i think you owe me a lunch date ;)'Hadlee said. not two seconds latter Laken texted, 'um yeah me too '.I smiled at my phone. They were right, I did have a ton to tell them. 'lol lunch at Urth at 11:30?' I suggested. 'perfect !' they both replied. 'ok! see you there, babes." I sent. I finished my yogurt, and went to my room to start getting ready.

I turned on my speaker, hooked up my Bluetooth on my phone, went on my spotify, and hit shuffle. 'Forever' by Haim came on and I started softly singing along and went to my closet to try and find the perfect outfit. I settled for a white, chiffon, tank with a black wash pair of skinny jeans and my pair of black , studded sandal heels(outfit's in the external link) . I went over to my vanity and did my everyday makeup and left my hair in it's natural, brown waves. I looked at my phone to see it was only 11:00, so I went to my living room and watched about 15 minuets of a re-run of 'Love It, Or List It' because I'm a loser who watches HGTV religiously. I then grabbed my purse, phone, and keys and headed out the door.

I arrive at Urth and see Hadlee and Laken at a table already . "Hey baaaabess!" I said. "Claire! Ok tell. Me. Everything." Hadlee said serious. "Well we met at the gym actually." "OMG I'm going with you next time," Laken said. I just laughed,"Ok. But yeah, we just started talking, and I went over to his, he came over to mine-" "WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO?"Laken interupted.People were looking at us because of loud she said that. "Chill out, dude. We just talked and made cookies," I said smiling and remembering when he put the cookie dough on my nose,"and he's so sweet. I really like him, yall." "Uh oh. Claire's got a cruuuush!" Hadlee said squealing. I just blushed and looked down, "I hope he has a cruuuuush on me too." "Of course he does. You are so hot, dude. He would be stupid not to." Hadlee said. "I don't know. I just, I don't want him to just think I'm hot. Every other relationship I've been in, that's the only reason they get with me. All I ever end up with are douche bags." I said looking at my lap. Our food came out and I took a bite. "Well, if he's as sweet as you say he his, I have a feeling he won't be like that." Hadlee said. "Yeah, I guess so." I said. "How has your modeling been going?" I asked her. Hadlee was a model too. Only she was very serious about it. She was only in FIDM because her parents wanted her to get an education outside of high school, and that was the only school she was remotely interested in. She had done campaigns for American Eagle, Kate Spade, and even a small campaign for Victoria's Secret. She was drop dead gorgeous and had a body to kill for, so I wasn't very surprised."It's great, Claire. I got booked for New York Fashion Week! I'm so excited!" she said smiling bright." Hadlee ! That's great! You should be excited! Im so proud of you!" I said. "Thanks Claire, it really means a lot." she said holding my hand."How is your singing, Laken?" I asked. Laken loved singing. She might be super crazy, but the girl can belt out some notes. She played some gigs around the area occasionally."It's pretty good. I got some writing sessions in the other day. That was really cool." I smiled at her as I felt something buzz in my purse.

A text from Harry. 'We've got another show tonight, be my guest? ;)' I smiled at my screen and my stomach filled with butterflies. "Is that your boy-toy calling?" Hadlee said. "Yeah" I said in a sing song voice. I looked up and she smiled happily at me. 'It would be my honor. Would you mind if I brought two friends?' I sent. The girls would love to go. Harry replied instantly,' You have friends?'. I laughed out loud at that one. 'keep that up and you will have one less friend' I said. 'I'm only joking, babe. Invite whoever you want ;)' How would yall like to go to a One direction concert with me?"
