Tiarna’s POV

Harry and I laughed our heads off. We tried making louder noises than Eleanor and Louis but they had definitely won the competition.

“That was fun” Harry grinned, clasping our hands together.

“Very” I chuckled.

“Hey, do you want to stay over at mine tonight? I’ll make you break faaaast” He conned.

“I would love that-“

“Yaay!” He cheered

“But I have to work at 10..” I sighed.

“So! You’ll have plenty of time!” He debated.

“Harry.. you know what I’m like. I’ll sleep in, stay in bed until I have only 20 minutes to get ready then have to rush around everywhere. If I stay at yours it’ll be even more hectic!” I huffed.

“Get up earlier?” He suggested.

“It’s like you don’t know me at all!” He laughed

“Ok ok..” He softly smiled, tracing his thumb on the back of my hand.

*******

“Crap, crap, CRAP!” I cursed. I threw the blankets off my body, immediately letting out all the warmness. *tear rolls down cheek*

I ran towards the mirror in the bathroom, where my make-up products lay neatly in a bag. I threw on foundation and powder, followed by mascara and a small amount of liquid eye liner. Now, hair.. ah shit. I threw it up in a messy pony tail and pulled a few strands to fall around my face. That’ll do.

I pulled my uniform off the hanger in my wardrobe and threw it on, then laced up my converse.

9:52am. I have three minutes until I’m supposed to be at work. My belly grumbled. Breakfa- no time damn it!

I grabbed my phone off charge and quickly walked out to the kitchen.

“Good morning!” Nicole chirped.

“Morning!” I huffed, out of breath from running around.

“Here, shove this down.” Nicole slid forward a plate with a piece of toast.

“You’re a life saver!” I grinned, shoving down the slice while walking to the bathroom. After I’d finished I quickly brushed my teeth and sloshed some mouth wash around.

I farewelled Nicole and raced downstairs onto the calm streets of London. I quick paced down my usual path and made it to work at exactly 10:04am.

“Hey Tiarna!” I looked up from my phone to see my work buddy, Nathan.

“Hey Naydawwwg” I grinned, slightly out of breathe. He chuckled, and then continued stacking cd’s.

It was finally 12:30 – lunch break time! I grabbed my bag from the staff room then headed for the door. I pushed the door open and was welcomed by a sudden chilly breeze. I crossed my arms, squeezing them to my chest, hoping this would keep me warmer. No idea how though..

I almost made it to  Starbucks but I bumped into a figure on the way.

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!.. Riley?”

“Tiarna.. Hey” He smiled. Oh that smile. The one I used to stare at uncontrollably- oh wait, that’s Harry’s. Yes, Harry’s smile..

“Uh..” I chuckled, “How are you?” I simply asked.
