Wish [Harry] On Hold

Dedicated to MapleLeafx for making me the adorable teaser trailer above, thank you x

WARNING: Unedited but I promised an update tonight x

I ENDED UP WEARING A ridiculous dress that Heather had persuaded me to buy just minutes before leaving the shop. It was a little too short for my liking and almost felt like a second-skin. While looking in the mirror, I felt like I was dressed appropriately for working in a strip-club as opposed to a visiting a dance-club with a friend. Luckily, Heather didn't push me into buying heels. To hell with those contraptions, I opted for the flats at the back of my cupboard. There was no denying that I looked pretty good though.

"Perhaps these heels weren't the best decision," I heard Heather groan from the bathroom.

"Knew it," I muttered as I dropped my lipstick into my bag. "Are you nearly done yet? I need to pee and you've been in there for half an hour. It doesn't take that long to do your eye make-up."

Heather scoffed. "It does if you do it correctly."

Pompous git, I thought as I checked my phone for the time. Our taxi was arriving in just under ten minutes and by the way things were looking, I'd be urinating down my leg halfway to the club.

I tapped away at the screen of my phone, waiting as patiently as I could for her to finish whatever the hell she was doing. My eyes scanned over Harry's name in my contacts and I considered phoning him to see if he were up for a night out. Knowing my luck, he'd say no if I asked. He didn't seem like the type to truly enjoy clubbing anyway.

But then something funny happened. A text from Harry appeared which, confusingly, read:

Harry:
Can't wait to see you tonight. Should be a great time!

I gawked at the screen, completely and utterly baffled. He'd see me? When would he see me and how?

I quickly began to scroll through my messages, looking through my sentbox and inbox, only to find I'd - unbeknown to myself - sent multiple invitations out to join Heather and I at the club. When the hell had that happened? I'd never even considered inviting more folks round.

Then it hit me.

Fuck.

"Heather?" I called through the bathroom door. "Did you use my phone at any point today?"

"Yep," she admitted straight away. "When you went to the bathroom at the coffee house. After you told me about this delicious Harry fella, I thought to myself, 'Why not invite the bloke' just out of curiosity and also because I want you to jump him tonight. Then, to make it seem not too creepy that he was the only one invited, I also asked that Liam chap and the one you mentioned - Louis? - while as well. Fiona someone too. Pretty much just all of your recent contacts."
