I finally sit down on one of the mall benches. Finding a job is harder than it sounds. Every store so far as had no job opening or the workers creep me out. Maybe I should go somewhere else. I decided that I would walk around and leave my car at the mall. I won't go to far since I'll have to walk back. I turn the corner and continue walking down the sidewalk. I pass some small clothing stores and cafes. I notice the familiar black Range Roger parked across the street. I know it's Harry by the cross hanging on his review mirror. I look both ways before crossing the street. I walk inside and the smell of sweat fills my nostrils.

"May I help you miss?" A guy asked with a clipboard.

"Um I'm looking for a Harry. Harry Styles." I ask him and his eyes go wide.

"Uh yeah follow me." He says and walks through the weight room. All the guys stop lifting and watch as we walk through. I can tell by their eyes that they aren't used to seeing girls here. He stops and I look over his shoulder to see Harry hitting a punching bag. He's wearing black basketball shorts that hang low on his hips and a bro tank.

"Harry there's someone to see you!" The guy yells over the music and Harry stops and turns around with a

Confused face. His eyes meet mine and his eyes go wide. "I'll leave you to it." The guy says and walks away. Harry takes off his gloves and turns down the music.

"What are you doing here?" He asked and pulls me into a hug.

"Harry! Your all sweaty stop it!" I giggle as his grip tightens.

"Sorry love, but answer the question." He says and gives me a toothy grin.

"I was looking for a job and I saw your car." I shrugged and watched as he took a sip from his water bottle. "I never knew you went to the gym?" I ask him and he smiles.

"Gotta look good for my beautiful girlfriend." Harry says walking up to me. Our noses touch as he towers over me.

"Well she's one luck girl, yeah?" I tell him and smile.

"Very." I simply says and I reach up and kiss him. Our lips move in sync as I hear hollering.

"Get at it Styles!" I hear a familiar voice yell. I pull back and see Harry is flipping them off.

"Harry!" I say and slap his arm down.

"It's just Lou, love." Harry says and I see Louis lay back down on the bench and begin to bench press.

"I'm the only girl here.." I whisper uncomfortably as I feel eyes on me. I was wearing blue jean short shorts and Harry's black v-neck which was tucked in. I had my hair up in a lazy ponytail considering its super hot outside and I wore my hot pink flip flops.

"Well your fit so.." Harry smirks down at me and I back up.

"You smell bad." I cringe as I smell him.

"I need to take a shower, follow." He says and grabs his duffle bag with one and my hand with the other and leads me towards the locker rooms. "Wonna join?" Harry ask his hit breath now on my neck.

"N-no." I struggle to get out. It's like Harry has some sorta spell over me and he knows it.

"Maybe another time?" He whispers slowly in my ear before walking towards the showers leaving me standing there. After 5 minutes, I pull myself up and sit on one of the tables. I hear some voices come in and I tense up but pull out my phone to try and look occupied.

"Oh look boys." I hear a guy say and I feel their eyes on me. I glance up and see 3 guys standing by the lockers with no shirts on. "What is a pretty girl like you doing in the locker room?" The blonde one asked walking towards me.

"I'm waiting for my boyfriend, Harry." I say harshly.

"What are you doing with that prick?" He asked harshly now arm length away from me.

"He's not a prick. Your just an asshole." I snap at him and hear his friends laugh. The guy opens my legs and stands in between them.

"He's not here now is he?" The guy whispers staring at my lips. He leans forwards but my hand raises up and hits him across the face. I push his shoulders back and jump down.

"Fucking bitch!" He growls walking towards me.

"Get the fuck away from her Jason." I her a deep raspy voice growl. Jason eyes go wide and he quickly turns to see Harry.

"S-Sorry man." He stutters and backs away from me. Harry's hand grab his shirt and push him against the lockers.

"You touch her or go near her again, your fucking dead." Harry spits in his faces. The guy just nods and Harry lets go of him. Harry grabs my hand and pulls me out of the locker room and towards his car.

"Where's your car?" Harry asked lowly.

"At the mall."

"Give me your keys" I reach into my bag and toss it to them. He leaves me in his car as he goes back inside. He walks back out and climbs in not saying a word. His jaw is still tensed from the situation from earlier.

"Harry-"

"Louis will drop your car off at my apartment." He says not looking at me. I let out a sigh and roll my eyes. He's acting like a baby, it's not like I asked the guy to do that.

Once we reach his apartment I get out and slam the door. Heading up the stairs towards his apartment not looking back at him. The sun is starting to go down and I'm sure ill end up staying over here. I turn the corner and run into something hard.

"Woah there princess. Slow down." I hear the last person I wanted to talk to.

"Sorry" I mumble and feel an arm wrap around my waist pulling me away from Adam.

"Move Adam." Harry says harshly walking past him.

"Better watch it Styles. I still know your secrets!" He sings and walks towards the elevator.

"Don't run off like that Delilah." Harry growled lowly as he opened the door.

"Quite treating me like a child Harry! It's not my damn fault that those freaks hit on me!" I finally snap.

"Stop making yourself look so vulnerable! I can't always be there!" He yells back stepping closer to me.

"Well I'm so sorry Harry." I say sarcasm dripping from my voice.

"Bye!" Harry yells and slams the door leaving me alone in his apartment with my thoughts. I open the door and see Harry walking away. I groan and shut it. I know if I leave it'll only make matters worse.
