Half A Heart

Chapter 11 - Taylor

I dance around my apartment, my music blaring. I check the time, seeing it's only 9:00am. Lunch yesterday turned into a walk and coffee in Central Park and Harry walking me home afterward. He also stayed for dinner, which was a simple dish of spaghetti.

Now I'm dancing around like a fifteen year old girl after her first date. I can't believe Harry feels the same way about me as I do him. We're actually together instead of pretending...this is probably the best year of my life, even though it's nearly 2013.

'And let me kiss you!'

I yell to the music, loving the sound of Harry's voice. He can really sing...and I'm seeing it tonight. Karaoke. With Louis and Eleanor. Oh, this should be fun.

My music stops as my ringtone sounds. I take my phone off my dock and answer it.

"Taylor speaking," I say cheerfully and hear his chuckle on the other end.

"Hey, beautiful," he says and suddenly I'm glad he can't see the red tint on my cheeks.

"Hey," I say, a smile on my face "What's up?"

"I just wanted to let you know that I'll be picking you up at around six," he says "Is that alright?"

"Sounds great," I smile "It's going to be so fun!"

"Now that you're coming," he says "It's going to be funner."

"Funner isn't a word, Harry," I tease and he chuckles.

"Same difference," he says, laughing slightly.

"You obviously failed English," I state, checking my red nails.

"Actually, I got an A in English, thank you very much," he says and I laugh.

"Whatever you say, Harry," I tease "Hey, I gotta go...see you tonight!"

"Bye," he says and I hang up the phone. I walk into my bathroom and turn my straightener on, letting it heat up as I brush my teeth. I do my hair, making sure it's pin straight before doing my makeup. I go back into my bedroom, playing my music again and getting dressed in a red long sleeved shirt and simple black high waisted shorts. I slip my feet into my red lace ups before grabbing my bag and leaving the apartment, grabbing my phone on the way.

I make my way to Barneys, excited to finally have a day of shopping with Selena...we haven't gone shopping in ages. I walk into the large clothes store and see her straight away.

"Selena!" I yell and she whips around, smiling widely.

"Taylor!" She yells back before running into my arms, hugging me tightly.

"Hey," I smile before pulling out of the hug. "Ready to shop?"

"You got that right."

. . . .

We exit Barneys with several bags and start walking back to my apartment.

"So you guys are actually together?" She asks, excitement clear in her voice.

"I guess you could say that," I smile widely and she laughs.

"I love how my advice actually worked," she says and I look at her confusedly.

"What advice?" I ask and she scoffs.

"To watch love begin again!" She exclaims and I shake my head.

"You just took my song and made it advice," I state "Not very original."

"Eh, whatever," she says "At least you followed my advice."
