Chapter 3: Suprise

Chapter 3: Surprise

Harry’s P.O.V

I didn’t sleep  much last night, my mind kept thinking of Rhiannon and her date and wondering how it went, I’m not sure why I care but I just do. I wake up at 7, which is quite early for me and start to get ready to go to the gym, which I’m excited to go to be quite honest. I leave the hotel without any of the boys because they were all sleeping so peacefully and we usually don’t get much sleep when on tour seeing as our shows start tonight! As I make my way over to the gym I see a few fans waiting for me, I stop and take a few pictures before heading inside. I notice that Rhiannon isn’t in the class I saw her in yesterday so I assume she isn’t coming in today, she better be alright. As I enter the gym I see her on the other side of the room where the treadmills are, which is where I was going anyway. As I step closer I can see what she is wearing. Short skin tight black shorts, hair up in a pony-tail again and a low cut black sports bra. I swallow a lump in my throat and try to act as normal as possible. The closer I get I see her standing next to this guy who is majorly flirting with her, not that I can blame him, but she is flirting back to my surprise, giggling and fluttering her eyelashes, I didn’t picture her to be someone like that. Just then she looks up and sees me. She smiles a friendly smile excusing herself from the guy.

Rhiannon’s P.O.V

I’ve been trying to be all girly and flirty with the guys in the gym today, it’s hard seeing as I’m not the type to be so giggly but it’s what the boss wants and it seems to be working. I sigh a sigh of relief when I see Harry because he doesn’t seem like one of these gym junkies that only uses a girl to impress his mates and maybe something else if you catch my drift, girls are simply there to accessories their hard worked on muscles. Maybe I can actually have a proper conversation with him unlike most of these other guys. “Hey harry, you’re here early.” I greet as I walk towards him. “Uh yeah we have a show tonight so I wanted to come in before sound check and stuff” he smiles. “Cool, you treadmilling?” looking over at the treadmills behind me, “Yeah I might” he smiles as he walks towards the treadmills.

Finally the clock hits 12 and I can get lunch, being flirty can really wear you out. As I enter the kitchen I grab my usual lunch of apple and banana with peanut butter and sit at the tables. “Hey can I join you” I hear a familiar husky voice. “Sure” I smile up at Harry. He takes a seat right next to me looking at my lunch shaking his head, clearly unfamiliar with its deliciousness. “It’s really good if you give it a shot,” I say with a giggle, wait did I just giggle naturally? “Yeah no thanks” he laughs, “so how was your date last night?” he asks looking straight at me, clearly interested. “Not too bad I guess” I simply reply not having much else to say. “So you guys a couple or something?” He asks, I almost fall off my chair in laughter; he looks at my totally confused. “No, not at all, he’s a great guy but not my type.” I say looking deeply into Harry’s eyes. “What is your type then?” he asks leaning closer so I could feel his breath on my skin. Before I can say anything Tony walks through the door. I quickly lean back in my chair picking up my fork; Harry just looks down at his lap with a cheeky grin. “Hey Rhiannon want to go out again tonight” Tony asked eagerly, it is Kate’s birthday so I assumed we’re going out but he’ll just offer to come with and I felt awkward making up excuses. “Actually she’s coming to our concert tonight” Harry speaks up clearly seeing my discomfort. I snap my head up looking at him, he just nods. “Oh yeah, it’s Kate’s birthday so Harry kindly helped me organise the surprise for her.” I smile hoping to convince him. “Hmmm, ok, well have fun then.” He says as he leaves. I sigh out of relief but then it hits me how am I going to tell him we didn’t go, I mean nice of Harry to lie for me but we don’t have tickets. “I’ll send a car to pick you guys up at around 6 tonight, the concert starts at 7:30 so you can just chill back stage with us” he beams at me. “Harry, we don’t even have tickets” I state with a sigh, “well I say you do so you’re all good, don’t worry about it.” He smiles and heads for the door. “Thank you Harry” I smile, he nods and leaves the kitchen.

I rush home to tell Kate to get ready, its 4:30 and that only gives her an hour and a half to get ready. “Kate, get ready we’re going out for your birthday!” I yell as I enter the door. “Where to?” she yells back, “Surprise, just get ready, dress like you’re going to meet the man of your dreams.” I reply and I her door shut as she begins to get ready. I mean she loves Niall so I guess that was the right advice. I stand in front of my closet unsure what to wear. I grab a pair of leather tight leggings, London style underground boots and an Oasis band shirt; hopefully it’s not offensive to wear a band shirt to another band’s concert. I actually have never been to a concert so I hope I don’t embarrass myself. I put my hair up into a messy bun and tie a bandana style scarf around my head. I apply light natural make-up but with red lipstick to liven up the outfit. As I step out I see Kate in a  blue low cut play suit and black heels with curled hair, I feel so underdressed but that’s usually the case so whatever. “Wow, you look amazing Kate.” I compliment, “You said man of my dreams right, I hope Niall is prepared” she winks, if only she knew.

A car horn beeps and we both step outside to see a black hummer limo parked in our driveway, we both gasp, well Kate kind of squeals and runs towards the “car”. I have no idea how with those heels but I follow behind her. We drive to the arena in complete silence as Kate is too excited but still clueless. As we step out in the back of the arena she looks at me with a questioning look. Just as I was about to answer her we hear a familiar voice, “Aggh, you guys made it” says Harry as he steps out of the arena doors. Kate freezes; I kind of forgot to tell her I knew Harry Styles. “And you must be Kate, Happy Birthday” he says smiling at her, she just nods and weakly smiles, clearly still in shock. “Nice shirt by the way” Harry says leading us to the doors. I blush slightly as we enter the doors, Kate still hasn’t said anything. As we walk into a room, which I assume is the dressing room we see all of the other boys just chatting, not going to lie I fangirled a little on the inside. “Boys I’d like you to meet Rhiannon,” Harry starts to the boys, “so you’re the one he couldn’t shut up about for the whole day” Louis blurts out, Harry glares at him and I just look down and blush. “And this is Kate, Rhiannon’s best friend and the birthday girl.” Harry says as he gestures to Kate. “Happy Birthday” they all chime in sync and Niall walks up to her and hugs her like he knew she would freak, she hugs back but clearly still in shock.

The boys leave to go do sound check and as soon as the door closes Kate starts to hyperventilate. “I can’t believe that just happened” these are the first words she said since we got here. “Surprise” I say with jazz hands. She just laughs and hugs me tightly, “Thank you Rhi” she says pulling away from our hug. “You should thank Harry, it was his idea.” I say, she stares at me waiting for an explanation. I tell her everything from the day we met, which was just yesterday, to how he saved me from another date with Tony and how he helped organise the birthday surprise. She keeps staring at me, mouth open in complete shock. “I think he likes you” she winks, I shake my head quickly, there is no way. “Yeah right” I say trying to convince her, “and maybe you like him back” she nudges me with another wink. I shake my head even faster this tie feeling a bit dizzy now. “Come on, you’ll have to move on some day” She says, I just glare at her. “Shows about to start” a lady says popping her head around the corner and we follow her to our seats, front row mind you. The concert was great and every time Harry looked over at me Kate would nudge me making me roll my eyes. Once the show ended Kate looked disappointed that it was over but still ecstatic that it happened. As we head towards the door, a buff guy starts to walk over to us. “OMG, Paul is coming this way” she whispers, I don’t know who he is really but I just nod. “Rhiannon and Kate right?” he questions, we nod, “Right this way, ladies” and he leads us backstage again. “You didn’t think we’d let the birthday girl leave that easily now did you” Harry smiles at us, we just laugh, “and Harry wanted to see you again” Liam winks at me, I feel a blush creep up to my cheeks and I quickly look down. Harry nudges Liam and blushes slightly too. “So… you ladies ready to go?” Zayn asks suddenly, “Go, go where?” I hear Kate suddenly speak in a shaky voice. “Out for a bite to eat, I’m starving” Niall says rubbing his stomach; we all laugh and head towards the door to an awaiting car. We quickly get in and drive to a restaurant that I’ve never really seen or paid attention too.

A/N: hey guys, I hope it’s not too boring, please give me feedback!
