Chapter 1

"Jade! Get up! It's almost time for you're shift at Victoria's Secret!" Ali said while pounding on my door.

I groaned and rolled over, falling onto the floor. "Damn it!" I yelled in pain. I was wrapped in my blankets like a cocoon. Unraveling myself

I got up and looked at my alarm clock. It read 8:07 am.

Looking through my clothes I found my dark wash skinny jeans and my favorite sweater. After throwing them on, I walked into the kitchen. "Alison! Where are the pop tarts?" No reply. Of course. "Where the hell did you go so fast?" I whispered to myself. A piece of paper taped to the fridge caught my eye.

"J, I ran down to grab coffee with Charlie. See you after your shift. I have my cell if you need me. Love you Babe! -Alison."

Charlie was Ali's boyfriend. They spend about every waking minute together.

As I walked through the doors of Victoria's Secret I felt the cool air conditioning brush against my face. "Hey! We're opening the store 10 mins early today. Is that alright with you?" Maggie waved at me from behind the counter. "Um, yeah. Let me just go change really quickly!" I hurried into the back and changed into my "uniform".

I walked behind the front counter and went under the desk to plug my iPhone into the speaker system. "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry started playing throughout the speakers. Our first costumers walked into the store. Yay, about 7, 13 year old girls.

"Hi, can you please help me find a matching bra and thong that is really sexy? Thanks." One of the 13 year old looking girls asked me while staring at her phone screen. "Yeah, sure. Follow me."

This is going to be a long day...

When my shift ended it was about 6:00 and we were closing early. It was my turn to lock up. I walked around re-folding the shirts, re-hanging bras, you know the usual. I got bored after I was done cleaning up and decided to try on some lingerie. The music in the store was still flowing through the speakers. I danced around the dressing rooms having my fun for the day.

My fun was over and I ended up buying the lingerie, Leaving some cash in the register. A cute matching black lace bra and panties set were in my bag. I locked up the store and hopped into a cab heading down to Times Square. (I needed to buy my 6 year old niece, sophia a birthday present at Toys R Us.)

After I picked up Sophia's present I was walking down the street hoping to pass a Starbucks. I was turning a corner when my phone buzzed. I reached down for my phone and pulled it out of my pocket. 1 new text from Alison. I put my finger on my phone to slide and unlock it.

Suddenly my body collided with what seemed to be a tall guy. We both came crashing to the ground, all of my bags flew into the air. I landed right on top of him. "Ow." I winced looking at my now scraped arm. I looked down and saw a pair of emerald green eyes staring at me.

"Hello, I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention!" He spoke with a beautiful British accent. "No, no! I'm so sorry I was on my phone!" I felt awful! I mean I basically landed right on him. "Oh, um." I realized I was still sprawled on top of his body. I moved off of him and sat criss cross apple sauce on the sidewalk. He sat down facing me. His hair was fairly curly, a chestnut brown, and he looked to be around 20. He seems really familiar for some reason.

I noticed I was staring and snapped out of my thoughts. "Uh, hi. I'm Jade." I stuck out my hand for him to shake. "Hey I'm Harry Styles." Oh yeah, I know where he's from. He's in that band called One Direction. I guess they're like major superstars right now. "Nice to meet you." Harry spoke. "You too!" I started to pick up Sophia's present, "oh, let me help you!" Harry offered going straight for the Victoria's Secret bag. "No!" I yelled. It was too late. Harry saw the bunches of black lace and picked up the matching set. "Shit, I'm sorry.. Uh." I mumbled.

Harry's POV:

I turned the corner and a body slammed into my chest. I fell onto the ground, the person falling right into me. I looked up and saw the most beautiful girl with blonde hair and grey/blue eyes. I just stared at her. "Ow." I heard her whine. "Hello, I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention!" I told her apologetically. "No, no! I'm so sorry, I was on my phone!" I could see that she felt bad.

She realized she was still lying on me and sat up sitting cross legged. I sat up as well. She started staring at me and I could feel my cheeks flush. "Uh, hi. I'm Jade." She spoke softly. I shook her hand "hey I'm Harry Styles." I could tell she was thinking. "Nice to meet you." "You too!" She replied. She seems sweet. Jade started picking up a bag from Toys R Us. "Oh, Let me help you!" I went for a Victoria's Secret bag. "No!" Jade screamed. I picked up at bundle of black lace, realizing it was a bra and panties.

"Shit, I'm sorry.. Uh." Jade stuttered. I held up the panties and she looked petrified. She started blushing profusely. "These for your boyfriend?" I asked the blushing girl in front of me. "No.. I just wanted them. I don't have a boyfriend." She looked a little sad! Oh, maybe I hit a nerve. "A gorgeous girl like you doesn't have a boyfriend? P'sh. I don't believe it." I gave her a cheeky dimpled smile.

Jade's POV:

"A gorgeous girl like you doesn't have a boyfriend? P'sh. I don't believe it." Harry said giving me an adorable dimpled smile. "Thank you, but I really don't have a boyfriend" I laughed nervously. "Your eyes are mesmerizing." Harry spoke quietly, but I could still hear him. "Thanks, your's are too" I laughed nudging his arm. "Oh god, did I say that out loud?" Harry asked completely shocked. "Yeah, you did. But it was nice." I stood up grabbing my bags. Harry still had my undies in his hand. "Can I have my thong back?" I giggled. "Oh, uh, yeah. Yeah. Here." He handed me my panties.

Both of our iPhones were on the ground still. I picked mine up. He did the same. "Well, maybe I'll see you again. Bye love!" Harry got into a taxi.

Love? Did Harry Styles just call me love? I guess it's a British thing. I walked to the curb and hailed a cab. Finally going home.
