                             Harry's POV

"This is crazy...." Olivia said with an equally astonished expression to the one that I'm sure I was giving her. I can't believe all this time I have been talking about Olivia to Ed, and he knew she was the person he was going to set me up with. I want to go on a date with this girl.

"Well...... Maybe since we didn't get to go on a date a few weeks ago we could try it out tonight. Olivia, would you like to go on a date with me?" I ask nervously. I wanted her to want this too. Especially since we already had sex, it would be nice to get to know her a little bit better.

"I'd love to." Olivia said with a smile. My heat leaped for joy. She actually saw potential in me, and didn't believe all the crap the media puts out there about me. Thank God.....

"Great, so I'll pick you up around 7?" I question after placing my empty plate by the sink.

"Sounds good." She says sitting at the island with a smile.

"Those were delicious pancakes, by the way." I say right before slipping out of the kitchen and back to her bedroom to get my clothes from last night back on.

I never noticed how this apartment isn't exactly the largest. Especially since Olivia is such a successful designer. I would have thought she would live in a large, and luxurious penthouse over looking Manhattan or something. But this place has character. I can tell by all the decorations and trinkets lying around that Olivia's personally is infused in this place head to toe. Another one of the many reasons I want to get to know her better.

As I put on my black skinny jeans I check my phone for messages. Only one. And it's from Ed...

Ed:"Have fun last night? I saw you leaving with Olivia. Did you seal the deal? ;)"

I can't believe Ed had all this planned. We were just pawns in his game of match making. It's Ed's world, we are all just living in it....

Harry:"Olivia is a very lovely girl and I respect her a lot. I will not lower myself by telling you if I 'sealed the deal' or not so fuck off."

He replied to my text almost instantly.....

Ed:"That's what someone who didn't get laid would say...."

I was getting tired of his games. He needed to know that I knew about the blind date. Here I was drooling over the mere opportunity of MEETING Olivia, and Ed just let me go on and on about her.

Harry:"We know Ed. The jig is up. We BOTH know you tried to set us up with each other as blind dates."

Ed:"That's right! And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you and your dog!"

I just roll my eyes at his last text, and shoved my phone back in my pocket. When Ed starts quoting Scooby Doo, you won't be able to get a straight answer out of him.

I walk back into the kitchen where Olivia is loading the dishwasher.

"I'll be seeing you later. Wear something nice, but not to fancy. I'm still not sure where we will go, but I will figure something out." I said placing and gentle kiss on her cheek and give her a playful wink. I smoothly exit the apartment.

I head back to my hotel. I decide to walk because it not that far from her apartment. I begging to think about the elderly man with a cane who I met a couple of nights ago. Maybe this is what he meant when he said what is meant to be will workout. I sure hope so. I want Olivia to be that girl. That girl who makes all my problems seem to vanish just because I'm with her. I want to be that guy for her. That she can count on, and confide anything in.

I mostly just want someone to love, and someone to love me. Not Harry Styles of One Direction, but Harry. Just Harry.
