I left early to buy the things needed for the paper. I left my officemates with a note. I told them that after breakfast they could mingle outside the loft and be back until 1PM. It's 10:30 AM and I'm inside the mall, I mean the mall is just outside the loft. PowerPoint is the name. I am just looking out for these special paper to make the whole paper contents fit. Then I notice someone following me. The presence came too easy to identify. I know it's Harry. I can feel the vibe inside me. I didn't need to budge on this situation, I came here for one reason and that is to buy special paper.
After buying the special papers, I headed to Starbucks. The store was clean, not a busy one today. There was actually enough space for me to sit anywhere I liked to sit in. I checked my time it was 11 pronto. I mean, I have to admit that I really feel a little giddy on what the note said to me but I keep thinking maybe it was just someone who wanted to make fun of me or planting some booming pranks.
I was just sitting there enjoying my coffee when I feel inside my inner goddess that someone is eyeing me since the moment I came here. Could it be him? Could it be really him? I mean I knew someone was following me but I never really paid too much attention on that somebody. I looked at every corner of the room and there he was, holding this short bond paper that has something written on it, "Are you Taylor?" I laughed at that idea, I mean how could he not know me when he knows my name already. I could see that he has a lot of paper with him so I played this same act. I replied to his text "Yes. Why?" he bent his head to write, "Can I please sit with you?" What? Might as well give him a chance, "Yes."
Without further replies, he made his way towards me and said, "Hi Taylor." His voice was like Harry's husky and soft at the same time. Although his hair is not visible, he's wearing this black bandana making it cover his hair with a cap and his shades on. Could this be harry?
We talked of things we both agreed on and we decided to keep he papers we used for our conversation earlier. Time came when we parted ways. It was already 12:15 so I had to rush and buy lunch for all of them back at the loft. We exchanged numbers and hugged each other, he smelled good if I may add.
After taking the takeout, I headed for my way back at the loft. That's when I saw the same funny feeling that someone was really following me, when I looked at the back, "Hey Tay! Finally, you caught me." She smiled and I said, "You were following me all this time?" then she said, "of course yes. Given this secret relationship you have with Harry? I'll always be first on the blockbuster news, sis." I looked at her frowing.
She didn't talk to me since then so I let the topic go. But when we were at my front door, by the minute she was about to go inside, she said, "since the moment you stepped inside the mall, I saw Harry following you wearing this strange look, I've been following you too. I even took some photo graphs. I love you sis."
What the hell just happened?
There was no time dwelling on those clues, we had to finish the paper immediately. When I went inside the loft was pretty clean, Harry was even there, so now I wouldn't believe Selena.
"Oh there you are Haz! You're back early..." Selena said.
"Yea dude, I was here, I never left." Harry replied looking at his laptop.
"Oh yeah, tell yourself that." She said as reply.
I don't have time to meddle with their issues so I went to the kitchen bar and fixed the things I needed to fix.
Then here he comes.
"Hi Miss Taylor. I see you left early. I never had the chance to hug you first thing in the morning." He told me when he saw me. "Well, good morning too Mister Styles. I see you slept beside me during dawn til' morning. I had to leave earlier than you expected, I'm sorry." He made a sad face and approach me he made me look at him and he hugged me.
"I'm going to bring this to the dining table alright?" he said, but before he left, he kissed my cheek.
I was left with no words to say.
After lunch we were back to doing our respective works. Harry and I were working on the same spot. But I feel so awkward that I went inside my room to work alone, we just met, he's been giving me mixed signals this whole time, and this mysterious guy. Ugh this makes me feel so bad. I felt the room for a while and told the whole team except for Harry that they could come to me and just knock if the need help.
When I was back inside, he was already there.
"Hi Miss Taylor. I wanted to stay here with you and hang out. We still have a few more days to reedit these things. Besides, they are almost done with the slot picking pieces. Please Miss Taylor?" he pleaded. I mean, we could use some rest. We've already accomplished more than 70% of the job. "Okay Mister Styles, that could be arranged." I gave him this smile and this I-will-be-back look. He just laughed and I made my way to the office and announced that this day would be a rest day, they were all so happy and they agreed to go to the mall to watch some cinemas. I was left here with Harry, the lovebirds went first the Cara told me she was going out to spend the day with her boyfriend.
When I was back, Harry was there watching television. I can see he had Netflix on. He was watching Okja. I haven't seen the movie so I sat beside him and we watched the movie.
"You know what Miss Taylor?" I looked at him, "I feel different when I'm with you. It's like it's strange and suffocating but it feels good, so good." He tapped his shoulder gesturing me to lean on. I smiled at him, me being a natural flirt, I gladly accepted his idea and then leaned on him.
I knew this day was going to come. When someone brings the magic so fast and leaves so many marks in your heart, that can't be undone.
