 I woke up with a huge grin on my face. That was the best sleep I had in ages. But when I searched in the covers for Harry, he was gone. Soon enough, I discovered a note in his place. I quickly skimmed over it.

‘Morning love. You sleep too much! Ha ha. I’ve gone to work. Call me when sleeping beauty awakens. Love H x’

 I rolled my eyes before reaching over to grab my phone. I picked it up and went to unlock it when I realised that my background had changed to a picture of Harry pulling a funny face. Once again, I rolled my eyes before proceeding to call Harry. His phone rang a couple of times before he finally picked up.

“Aahh she’s alive!” He said sarcastically. I laughed at him trying to be funny.

“Yes Haz, I am alive... And alone! Do you usually ditch girls after you spend the night with them?” I teased.

He replied with a laugh, “Only the ones I don’t care about.”

I frowned at his harshness and didn’t even bother to reply.

“Tara, I was joking!” He informed me. I still didn’t reply. If he wanted to mess around, then mess around he would get. He continued to say my name, “Tara?” I let out a little groan to let him know I was still listening to him.

He continued on, “I knew you were still there, you can’t resist hearing my magical voice”.

“Magical?” I questioned.

He started to sing, “Cause everything Harry does is maaaggiicc”. I stared at my phone in disbelief. Was he really singing his own song to me?

“Ummm, ok.” I replied, which only made him laugh.

“So, are you going to come entertain me at work?” He asked.

“Where are you, what are you doing and how long are you working for?” I replied.

I could feel him smiling on the other end as he said, “Do you want to know what I’m wearing too?”

“Oh God.” I replied, smacking my hand on my forehead. He had a smutty line for absolutely everything, he was such a tease. As if he could see my reaction, he laughed a warm, comforting laugh.

“I’m at the stadium rehearsing for tour with the boys. Got a few good hours to go but I’m really getting bored of singing the same song over and over. Please come entertain me. You should’ve seen the relief on everyone’s face when I told them to pause for five minutes so I could answer your call. We’re all so over today already, we’ll do anything for a break.”

Giving in, I replied, “Fiiinnne, I’ll be there. But I expect first class treatment Styles. You know, you coming to open my door for me, you buying me lunch, you – “ Harry interrupted me.

“ – Always about food!” He laughed.

“Of course it’s about food. I ain’t no skinny bimbo, you’ve got to appreciate them curves Haz” I commented.

“I agree, you have a great body” He replied. I didn’t know how to reply to that. Was he perving at my body? Because I always perved at his. Luckily for me, I didn’t have to reply to his comment because I could hear Paul, the boys manager, in the background calling Harry’s name.

I took a deep breath before saying, “look you better go. I’ll be there in an hour ey?”

“Yea babe, I’ll see you then!” He said before hanging up. Did he just call me babe? I thought that was only something boyfriends called their girlfriends. All this time, all I’ve wanted was just to be Harry’s girlfriend again, but did he feel the same way about me. Knowing I’d never know the answer, I gave up and decided to instead just get dressed and meet up with him.
