harry
he looked at her run out and couldn't move. he felt so sick of what he had just said. he should have probably ran after her and apologized, covering her face with kisses and whispering sweet nothings in her ears.

harry pulled out his wallet and payed the silent woman who was judging him. he walked out and got into his vehicle, he knew he had fucked up big time. his was distracted by the sound of his phone ringing. without looking to see who it was he answered.
"hello?"

"hey baby! when are you getting home? i made stir fry vegetables and pot roast!"

"um...i'll be home in five minutes love."

"bye sugar muffin!"

harry rolled his eyes and mumbled an "i love you" and hung up. everything was perfect with erin now, so why did it feel so wrong? he called erin back and told her he had some last minute paperwork. she was a bit upset but he talked her down.

harry pulled into the familiar parking lot and got out of his vehicle. "mr. styles," the receptionist in the lobby said acknowledging him. he gave her a quick smile before entering the elevator, clicking on the penthouse button. harry straightened his suit and gave a small nod to the old lady who was to his far left. the elevator dinged and harry exited and walked into zayn's lounge area.

"zayn?" harry called out loudly. "m' coming mate!" he heard a voice reply before zayn emerged shirtless in some adidas sweatpants. "hey mate, you could have called," zayn said running his hand through his hair. "you have company?" harry asks raising his eyebrow.

"no, not yet anyway. perrie said she might drop by so i tried to make the place look clean. "i've been dusting all morning!" zayn replied fixing the flowers on the table. "she said she 'might' come over. she never said it was a sure thing," harry chuckled, amused that his best friend was cleaning to impress a girl.

"yeah but harry, it's a possibility. girls like tidy guys, i read that in cosmo," zayn ranted on. harry laughed at zayn, "you...read...c-cosmo?!"

"why are you here harry," zayn pouted and crossed his arm, clearly annoyed. harry sighed and explained everything to zayn who nodded and added a few comments here and there. they had been talking for hours and now the room was getting dark. the city lights shone through the glass window.

"you've got a great view mate," harry said staring out at the pretty sight. "it is, isn't it?" a female voice said stepping into the room. "it's nothing compared to you," zayn said with a smirk. harry rolled his eyes at zayn, "hello perrie," the green eyes man said giving her a smile. "i'll be off now," harry said getting up.

"i didn't mean to intrude. were you guys talking about something important? i can leave." perrie offered. "no! harry was just about to leave!" zayn said getting up and glaring at harry. perrie scanned zayn's body, biting her lip. zayn seemed to notice this and smirked, "like what you see babe? it's all for you, you know."

harry walked into the elevator still hearing some of their playful banter. he couldn't help but smile, they were perfect for each other.

when he got back home, erin was watching some chick flick on netflix and munching on carrot and celery sticks.

"babe!" she said with a smile. harry forced a smile on and gave her a quick kiss. erin pulled him onto her and forced her lips on his. "i'm in the mood baby," she said pulling away, grinning at harry deviously. "i-i'm really tired babe, we had so much to do at the office," harry said trying to pry her off of him.

erin huffed in annoyance, "fine. i'm going to bed!" she stormed off into their bedroom. "brat," harry mumbled under his breath before exiting erin's chick flick and played sons of anarchy instead.

harry fell asleep that night in bed with erin but with elanora on his mind.
