Cute as a Button - Harry Styles

Chapter 2 ~ Gingerbread Latte

A/N Photo of Ryan Evans on side (:

Lydia POV

3:08pm. Ryan should be here by now. Where is he?

Ryan Evans my boyfriend for 2 years was never late. He was always punctual unless there was an accident or he had been called in for a photo shoot. Ryan is also a model just like me. That's how we met, on set a Burberry photo shoot.

Standing outside the studio, I had just finished a photo shoot with One Direction, the biggest and hottest boy band of this century, for their new album Midnight Memories. As you can guess, I'm a fan. Okay I lie, I'm a proud directioner but can you imagine being in the same room as them like I was just back then!

I totally freaked out but luckily I managed to keep my composure. Well I think I tried to anyways?

I'm quite glad I left the photo shoot before I had the chance to make a complete fool out of myself. I briefly got to speak to all of the 1D boys apart from Harry, whom I was modelling next to but his mind seemed somewhere else. Somewhere far.

Before the shoot, Harry was my favourite but my opinion has kind of changed because he didn't really speak to me. At all. Niall was definitely my favourite after the shoot because he just seemed so genuine, funny and nice, not to mention he has the most adorable accent! He made me feel welcome and encouraged the other guys to speak to me, which was very sweet of him.

Looking down at my new gold iPhone 5, the time was now 3:21pm. Ryan is so late! I decide to text him asking where he was and if he was coming.

Leaning against a brick wall just outside the studio, my daydreams were soon interrupted when I heard a loud group of guys coming out of the exit from the room I had just been in. Immediately recognizing them as One Direction, I quickly pulled out my phone pretending that I was doing something important.

"Hey Lydia!" a familiar Irish accent shouted from the group of boys.

"What are you doing out here? It's freezing!" Niall questioned as the other boys just stood and listened to our conversation. As soon as Niall mentioned it was freezing, I immediately adjusted my maroon snood place around my neck. Niall was correct; it was absolutely freezing especially when I'm only wearing a pair of dark wash skinnies, a black cami with a thick beige and black Aztec print woolly cardigan along with some black leather boots.

"I'm waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up!" I shouted back at him because I was quite far away.

"Well do you want to come to Starbucks with us while you wait for him?" Niall questioned.

"Er..." I answered unsure.

"Oh c'mon, it'll be better than waiting in the cold!" another guy with brown hair gelled up like Elvis' hair, Louis, replied.

"Sure, why not?" I said walking towards the guys.

Louis was right, it would be between than waiting in the cold for Ryan, who might I say has not replied yet and is very late. Ohh and I do crave for a bit of Starbucks right now, especially because it was almost Christmas and the seasonal drinks were now out.

We decided to walk to Starbucks as it was only a two minute walk and the streets of London were pretty empty right now. Our journey consisted of small talk about upcoming events and their new album.

Walking into the cosy small Starbucks, the strong smell of coffee hit me instantly. The boys and I walked over to a booth for 6, 3 on each side. Liam, Louis and Zayn took one whole side of the booth leaving Niall, Harry and I on the other side.

Being lazy butts, they all shot gunned not ordering drinks which just left me to order drinks for them. I took their orders and made my way to the queue.
