I got home much earlier that day, around five o' clock.

Emily was making dinner, a simple stir-fry with glasses of ice water already sitting on the table. I quickly greeted her before setting my things down in my room and taking a moment to collect myself. Today certainly had been eventful, and strange. I decided against telling Emily about it, but thinking about Harry not being able to tell his friends about his life nearly made me change my mind. Not quite, though. I would eventually tell Emily and Harry would eventually make up with his friends, I was sure. 

I also realized that's probably what he was so upset about yesterday. Louis must have called before he went to the Twist Cafe and that's why he was so upset. I hoped Niall was helping Harry through the situation. From what I knew of both Niall and Harry, they were lovely people and deserved good things in their lives. 

I really did hope Harry took me up on my offer for adventure.

"So, how was your day?" Emily asked as we sat down for dinner. 

"It was interesting," I laughed softly, taking a bite of my stir-fry. "I'm getting the feeling that every day working for Caroline Twist will be pretty interesting."

"That's good," Emily nodded, not caring to ask any further questions. "I landed an audition today."

"What? Really? Where?" I asked excitedly, setting my fork down. 

"This little club just down the street," Emily answered, a smile on her face wider than I had seen in a long time. "It's super swanky and fancy and straight out of a forties movie. I talked to the owner and he's letting me audition! It's like crazy hard to get a gig there, so I'm not super hopeful, but it's a start."

"Have a little faith in yourself," I demanded my friend. "You're one of the most confident people I know, and one of the best singers I know. You can do it."

"Thanks buddy," she sighed. "I just want to start doing something here. It's been almost three months and I've done nothing."

"Well, you're starting now," I encouraged her. "We're both going to do great things. Just watch, in a year we're going to be known all over this city."

"Oh, yeah," she laughed loudly. "Rosalyn Jones, world-famous book editing intern and her best friend, Emily Cole, world-famous cabaret singer."

"You don't have to put it so negatively," I laughed along with her. "But yes,we're going to really enjoy our lives, I'm sure."

"I sure hope so," she nodded. "Did you do anymore writing today?"

"No," I answered honestly. She didn't need to know the rest yet. "But I've got some ideas."

And I did. I was going to write an entire novel, and Harry was going to be my muse.

                                                                                                    ~                ~              ~

After dinner and watching a few episodes of Gossip Girl, I retired to my room for the night. I wasn't going to sleep, however. Instead, I opened a word document, lit a linen candle, and opened a random spotify playlist. It was time to write. 

Harry was the most interesting person I had ever met, and I barely knew him. He was a world famous popstar with all the money in the world. He was a great performer and singer. But he was also quirky and funny (in his own way) and sweet. I wanted to get to know him as much as possible, and write about it. I would fictionalize him, of course. Hopefully he would never even realize the book was about him. My plan was to help him become a solo artist. I knew he was essentially done with One Direction. I would just help him realize it. And then I'd write about it. Was I using him? Maybe, but it was going to benefit both of us. And we'd have a lot of fun doing it. 

I did have a slight crush on him. Who wouldn't? He was beautiful and kind and talented. But I didn't plan on taking it anywhere. If anything, I wanted to be good friends with both Harry and Niall. They both interested me in their own ways. I once again realized I wasn't under any rules. My parents weren't here to make sure I was dating a respectable son of one of their rich friends. They weren't telling me that it was absurd that my boss was asking me to write with a celebrity after only two days of working for her. I didn't have a curfew or a class to go to or the library to hang out in. All I had was my dreams and my desires and those included being friends with Harry and Niall. And no one even needed to know about it. 

New York really was a magical place so far. It was absolutely beautiful. From the narrow streets of the boroughs to the busy sidewalks of Times Square, it was definitely a perfect place for inspiration. I couldn't believe Harry hadn't found inspiration yet. He must not have truly been looking. I suppose I wasn't looking either; inspiration fell right into my lap in the form of a good cafe and a great boybander. Still, I took the inspiration and ran with it. Harry didn't. 

I wrote all of these things down. I couldn't really begin my novel yet. Not until I knew as much about Harry as possible. Then, I would start writing as life went along. I wouldn't even plan it. Call me a bad writer, but I wasn't following any rules anymore. Why should I?

Before I could write another word, my phone buzzed. 

From Harry Styles: you up for an adventure?

I grinned wider than I had in a long time. It wasn't a random day like I'd instructed him. It wasn't spontaneous and off the top of his head. He likely had planned it the second we said goodbye. Even still, I replied.

To Harry Styles: meet at the Twist Cafe right away.

From Harry Styles:  you got it. 

I grabbed my credit card and a gray sweater, told Emily I was going for a little stroll, and went out for an adventure.
