[Harry Styles' Flat. 7:12pm]

Sounds of the door knocking.

Gemma : "oh god that's him! Get the door I have to change!"

Harry : (sets plate out on the table) "hurry up" (walks to open door)

Louis : "Hi"

Harry : "Hey um come in"

Louis : (nods and follows Harry to the living room and sits on the couch) "it's much different than how I imagined it"

Harry : (tilts head confused) "what is?"

Louis : "the decor"

Harry : "oh well after I moved in here I kind of altered it a bit to my liking. The cat wallpaper previously wasn't really my style"

Louis : (snorts) "she did not have cat wallpaper"

Harry : "she did"

Louis : "well it's nice. Very.. you. Harry's Styles..get it?"

Harry : (bursts out laughing) "oh my gosh, I do"

Louis : "wow and all this time I thought I was the hyena"

Harry : see? thanks for the compliment"

Louis : (shakes head smiling) "Where's Gemma?"

Gemma : (bolts through from the other room) "here I am!"

Louis : (stands) "you look beautiful"

Gemma : "this old thing" (points to her dress) "thank you though ready for dinner?"

Louis : "Oh uh I brought the movie I don't know if-"

Harry : (takes dvd from his hand) "the notebook?"

Louis : "yeah I figured it was something Gemma would like"

Gemma : "I hate romance movies but Harold here loves them"

Harry : "the notebook is my favourite movie"

Gemma : (coughs) "right anyone wants dinner?"

Louis : "I'm starving actually"

Harry : "go ahead I'll be there in a moment"

Gemma : "great grab a seat I'll serve"

Louis : (picks up book from table) "this is a first edition"

Gemma : (takes book from Louis) "I told Harry not to leave his stupid books where the food is"

Louis : "it's Harry's?"

Gemma : "yeah. He just loves old century books. This one's his favourite" (motions to the book in her hand)

Louis : "yeah pride and prejudice is a good read"

Gemma : "oh gosh don't tell me you too?"

Louis : (snorts) "I was a literature major in college"

Gemma : "Harry studied sciences but deep down I always had a feeling he wanted to do literature"

Louis : "why didn't he?"

Gemma : "well he didn't want to disappoint our father"
