Stella’s POV:
“Mason.” I spit out as calmly as I possibly can. I haven’t seen him in almost a year and the last time we talked, he told me how much he didn’t like me. How much better he was than me. What is he doing here; did he come to see me? That’s impossible, he doesn’t care. It’s just a coincidence. “Stella, how are you?” he says as he walks towards me wrapping his muscular arms around me into a hug. I stand there frozen. He looks good. He is so hot, he always has been. He has dirty blonde shaggy hair, just long enough to run your fingers through. He is tall, very tall, very muscular and has blue eyes so clear that I can almost see my reflection in them. He smells faintly of cologne. He smells of Mason. I was in love with him. He was the first person I have ever loved and he broke my heart. “Good, what are you doing here?” I ask trying to sound cold, although I probably sound nervous and terrified. “Stella, we have to go, Harry is waiting.” Cristina says impatiently, completely ignoring Mason. “Yeah, uh…I’ll meet you up there.” I tell her. As much as I hate Mason for breaking my heart, I want to know why he is here. Is it just a coincidence or did he come all this way to see me. I have to know. Cristina looks Mason up and down and pulls me towards her. “Are you sure this is a good idea? I don’t think Harry will like this.” She whispers in my ear. “I know, but I just want to know what he’s doing here, you don’t have anything to worry about. I love Harry more than anything.” I tell her and she takes a breath and nods. “I’ll meet you up there. Mason.” She warns. When she is gone, I turn back to Mason. “What are you doing here?” I ask him folding my arms across my chest. “Honestly, I came to see you. You moved to London so fast that I never got a chance to say goodbye. You changed your number so I couldn’t text you and when I heard that your first show was going to be in LA I figured I would come surprise you.” He explains calmly. “Surprise me? Who are you? You aren’t my boyfriend, you aren’t even my friend. You broke up with me remember?” I say. I am beginning to get angry. Who is he to just show up here like this? Does he think that I am going to forget everything? “Yeah and I was hoping that you and I could go for coffee or something to talk. I have a lot that I want to tell you Stella.” He says taking one of my hands in his. The familiar feeling brings back memories. I quickly pull my hand away. “Mason, I have a boyfriend and I love him.” I tell him feeling very proud. All I can think about is what Harry would do if he knew Mason flew all this way just to see me. Man would he ever be pissed. “I know but that doesn’t mean we can’t hang out as friends.” He states. “But we aren’t friends. I have to go.” I say as I turn my back and head to the elevators. When I get up to the door of the penthouse, I find Niall and Cristina waiting for me. “What are you guys doing?” I ask as I walk towards them. They are blocking the door. “Stella what were you thinking?” Cristina scolds me. Niall shakes his head as Cristina continues, not letting me speak. “I mean after everything he’s done to you I can’t believe that you would even want to look at him. Now you have Harry who treats you like gold. How could you Stella?” she yells at me. “Cristina! Calm down! I just wanted to hear his reason for being here, now that I know why, I want nothing to do with him. Trust me. I love Harry and I would never do anything to jeopardize our relationship so could you please stop yelling about it? I would like to keep this whole thing to ourselves please. I don’t want to upset Harry for no reason. “Okay fine, but Niall knows.” She tells me. “Really? I never would have guessed.” I say sarcastically. Niall has been standing here with us this whole time and has heard everything. He laughs and wraps his arm around Cristina. “Niall please, can we just keep this between us? I don’t want Harry to get upset over nothing.” I ask. He nods. “Sure, it’s not my place to tell him anything anyways, but that being said, I think you owe it to him to let him know what’s going on.” He suggests. “Maybe.” I say and open the door to our hotel room.
Harry is standing in the kitchen with Zayn and Louis. “Where’s Liam?” Cristina asks as her and Niall follow me in. “In the shower.” Zayn says. I walk over to Harry and he wraps his arms around me tightly. “What took you so long?” he asks. “Oh um, nothing, just ran into a few fans in the lobby.” I lie. “Oh okay.” He smiles and he kisses my forehead. “You did great today.” He compliments. I smile. “Thanks. So did you.” I respond kissing him on the mouth. I don’t like that I have to lie to Harry but I just think that it’s better that he doesn’t know about it. He would just get really angry and I don’t plan on seeing Mason again so there is no point. “What’s everyone doing for dinner tonight?” I ask the boys. “I think Harry, Louis, Liam and I are going to stay in tonight and order a pizza or something.” Zayn says and I nod. “Boys night in, cute.” I giggle. Harry winks at me and tightens his grip around me. “Cristina and I are going out.” Niall says and I nod. “Stella, will you be joining us then?” Louis asks. “Nope, I’m going out with Lou.” I tell him. “You are?” Harry asks. “Yup, I haven’t hung out with her in a while, plus we have to gossip about you.” I joke and Harry laughs. “I should go get ready.” I say as I place a soft kiss on Harry’s lips and head to our room. I close the door behind me and jump in the shower quickly. I wash my body and then jump out. I wrap a towel around myself and head into the room. Harry is sitting on the bed and his pupils dilate when he looks at me. “Wow.” He says and I blush. He always knows how to make me feel beautiful. “Turn around.” I say as I pull a black lacy thong and a nude lacy bra out of my suitcase. “No.” Harry says. “Pardon me?” I smirk. “Fine.” I say as I let the towel fall to the ground. I turn away from him so that my bare back side is facing him. I shimmy into my panties. Next I face him and bend over to pick up my bra from the floor. I hear his gasps as I slowly pull the bra on. “Fuck.” He breathes. “Should have looked away like I told you to.” I giggle. “Fuck no, then I wouldn’t have seen that. Now come here baby.” He says. His eyes look hungry and I feel a burning sensation in the pit of my stomach. “No, I need to get ready!” I tell him and he raises his eyebrows. “So you think you can just do that, make me hard, and then leave me hanging? You better run Stella.” He warns as he stands from the bed. I scream and run into the bathroom locking the door behind me. I am laughing and I can hear Harry swearing on the other side of the door. I finish getting ready quickly and open the door. Harry is no longer in the room and I am slightly disappointed. I walk out into the kitchen and the boys are all sitting around the table talking. “Wow Stella, you look nice!” They all compliment. “Hey, stop hitting on my girlfriend.” Harry jokes standing up from the table and pulling me into his arms. “You look gorgeous baby.” He says kissing my forehead. “By the way, you owe me for earlier.” He whispers slowly and seductively into my ear. I shiver and he smirks at me placing a soft kiss on my ear lobe. “Mhm.” I agree. I will do anything. I take a look at my reflection in the mirror. I am pleased with my outfit. I have on a pair of black silky pants that come just above my ankles. I have a white flowy t-shirt tucked into the pants and my hair is curled. I have on a few gold rings and a thick gold necklace. I slip my feet into black shiny pumps and wave goodbye to everyone. When I get to the lobby I see Lou in her car parked out front. I quickly get in and she drives off. “Man do I have a lot to tell you.” I tell her and she laughs.
