No Foundations

You get me a little overwhelmed too. - Chapter 15

Harry's POV

I never expected Remi to start singing when we sat down for her and Niall's little concert, and as soon as she did I never expected her to sound like that. How is it that she never stopped getting cooler and cooler? Every time I turned around I felt like she was doing something more impressive than the time before. It was frightening almost. I've never felt like this about anyone, and I fell for her so fast. I felt like she was this magnet that I couldn't get away from. Every time she was in the room I could feel myself being pulled to her. It's like, nothing else is important right now. All I want is to hang out with her and get to know her and kiss her. Inside I feel like I'm going insane, but I can't show it. I'm just sitting here watching her play guitar smiling like an idiot because I can't help myself. She was halfway though playing give me love by Ed Sheeran when I couldn't take it anymore. I got up and walked out of the room. I left the flat actually. She stopped playing and watched me as I walked out of the room.

"Harry?" Louis called to me as I closed the door. There was something I needed to do. I walked determined to my flat and locked the door behind me once I had entered. I dug my cell phone out of my pocket and dialed a number. I waited impatiently as the phone rang.

"Come on, come on, come on." I said then finally someone picked up.

"Hello, Harry? Is everything alright?" The voice on the other end sounded stern as always.

"Yeah, Simon, it's just, I need to tell you something." I gulped, I knew I had to talk to him about this. When he told us about Remi, he told us we could not distract her, but something tells me that nothing is going to distract her when it comes to this project. She had a very good head on her shoulders and I knew she knew how to separate professional life and personal life.

"What's going on, Harry?" He asked with concern in his voice now.

"Simon, I think I'm falling in love with Remington. I don't know how she feels, because we really haven't talked about it, but I'm going crazy. I need you to know that if things go the way I want them to, I wont distract her from our album project or anything. I promise, but I need to know that if I pursue this it's not something I'm doing behind your back."

"Harry, you've known this girl for just a few days. If you really do like her I'm happy for you, but we all know how you are with girls. Every time a new one comes around your eyes light up like it's a shiny new toy." He says on the other line. Simon really isn't afraid to hurt your feelings. He's right though, I do tend to get carried away, but Remi is different. Now I have to prove it to him.

"Listen, I get it. I know better than anyone else how I am with girls, but she's different Simon. I really mean it. You know how special she is on a professional level. Now, I've gotten to know her on personal level, just imagine how amazing she must be. Multiply that by a thousand, and that is Remi. I can't stress this enough." I plead with him to understand where I'm coming from.

"Yeah, I can see where that's probably true. Here's my situation though, I gave her this huge project. She basically has complete reigns on how your new album sounds. If you guys are dating, if that's what she wants, what happens when she gives you more solos than the other boys and they claim it's because you two are together? Then I have to find a whole new person to work on a project that she put together. It wont be the same and it wont be as good. I'm sure you guys don't want a mediocre album." He always brings up good points. It's almost like he's thought about this happening before. I laugh to myself, I bet he has, I bet he banked on one of us falling for her at some point. It had to be me...

"That will not happen." I say completely confident, "Like I said, she is not the kind of girl to mix personal and professional life."

"Alright, I agree with you maybe, but now think about this. An album is an 8-month project. Do you think you like this girl enough to last at least 8 months? If you two break up in the middle of it, wont that make for awkward tension? Is that not something that is crucial to not have in a studio? I understand that Remi knows how to not mix personal and professional life, but do you?" he had a good point again. I sighed.
