The next morning I was woken up by the sound of my alarm. It was 9:15am. Harry wanted to talk at 10. I got up slowly, went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. I let the steam fill the room before getting in. I washed and conditioned my hair and washed my body. I got out and dried myself with a towel. I wrapped the white towel around myself and turned on the blow dryer. I quickly dried my hair naturally and then walked to the kitchen to grab a fruit. I was really hungry and I remembered seeing cut up watermelon in the fridge. When I got to the kitchen I saw Cristina sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal. "Morning Cristi, how did you sleep?" I asked her. "Really well! I was up early this morning and I sat out on the balcony and watched the sunrise. I love it here." she said. "Me too. Okay so Harry is coming over at 10 to talk, he texted me last night while I was in bed. He will be here in..." (RING) That was the door. "It's probably Niall, he said he would come over and then we would go out together, I'll get it." Cristina said. Still wrapped in my towel, I walked towards my room. I turned at the last minute to see Harry standing there dressed in black skinny jeans and a white t-shirt. Shit he looked good. His eyes moved down my body, I looked down suddenly very embarrassed to be in my towel still, I spoke "Uh hey, I'm just gonna go change, I'll be out in a few minutes." I opened the door to my room and quickly ran to my closet to change. I looked out the window and saw that it looked like a warm summer day so I put on a pair of red shorts with a white tank top with gold buttons down the center. I looked down, it was quite low cut but it wasn't too revealing. It made my boobs look very good. I walked to the bathroom and put on a light layer of makeup, I swiped my lashes with black mascara and put on a light pink lip gloss. I put on my white converse and checked my reflection in the mirror. Wow, I actually was proud of the way I looked. I then walked towards my door when I heard muffled voices. There were three, one was Cristina, one was Harry and the other one was Niall, I could tell my his accent. "Just tell her how you feel Harry, I know she feels the same way." Niall whispered. "You just have to take things slow because she's had her heart broken before and I know for a fact that she wouldn't want things to move too quickly. Be gentle with her and tell her exactly how you feel." Cristina whispered. I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest. Oh my god, did he like me? But how? We only have known each other for 3 days! Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and a silence fell through the room. "Wow Stella, you look great!" Cristina said winking at me. I smirked at her and then turned to Harry, "Where do you want to talk?" I asked him. "Follow me" he said and he took my hand. I could feel butterflies in my stomach and I melted under his touch. We left the condo and headed towards the elevator. He pushed the button for the top floor. We rode up in silence and when we stepped out there was a single door. Harry pushed it open and we were on the roof of the building. I looked out at the view, I could see almost all of London from here. It was breathtaking. Leading me to a bench near the pool, we sat down and he just stared at the floor. I decided to speak first, "Harry I am so sorry about yesterday, I am just afraid I guess. I didn't mean to turn you down." he put his hand on my thigh and looked straight into my eyes and said "Stella I like you, a lot, I don't know how and I don't know why because its only been 2 days but I feel like you get me, I feel like I can be myself around you and you bring out the best in me. I have never felt feelings like this for a girl that I met 3 days ago. It's just something about you, you're different and I love that about you. You don't even realize how beautiful you are. And if you give me the chance I would like to prove to you that I am not just some womanizer using girls for sex. I would like to take you out on a proper date. Just you and me tonight, at a nice restaurant. Please give me a chance, Stella, I know you won't regret it." as Harry said those words, I couldn't say no. I wanted to jump in his arms and just stay there. I smiled slightly and put my hand on his cheek running my thumb over his dimple. "I would love to Harry."

Harry's POV:

After letting out my feelings for Stella, I braced myself for the worst. Why would she want someone like me, I thought. She was gorgeous and could have any guy that she wanted to. Why would she settle for me, she already thought that I was a womanizer. I looked down towards the ground as I felt her hand come up and rest on my cheek, running her thumb over my dimple. I felt myself melt as her hand rested on my face. "I would love to Harry." As the words left her mouth I grabbed her hand from my cheek and intertwined our fingers together. I leaned in close enough to feel her breath on my mouth and said, "Perfect, I will pick you up and 7 then." I leaned in a  touch closer and let my lips just touch her cheek. I got up and winked at her and rode the elevator down. I needed to go tell the boys what just happened! I ran into our condo and screamed for them to come to the kitchen. "I did it! She agreed to the date tonight!" I said excitedly. They all just laughed and Louis said "Well well well, look who is starting to fall in love!" I hit him playfully and he smirked at me. "Danielle, Eleanor and Perrie are on they way over, we thought it would be a good idea to introduce them to Stella and Cristina, it will be good for them to have some girlfriends in town." Liam said.
