Tempting Styles

Chapter Sixteen

*Harry's pov*

I had been in the studio recording with Zayn, Niall, Liam and Louis the whole morning. I wouldn't really call it work as we do what we love but it did get a bit tiring after a while, since I didn't get much sleep last night for no apparent reason. Now, finally, we were getting a break. I followed the boys outside and Liam had brought along a football. We kicked it around for a while, not playing anything in particular. "There's that event we've been invited to next week." Louis said casually as he passed the ball to Zayn.

"Oh yeah!" Zayn said as he passed the football to Niall and looked at Louis. "I can't remember what it was."

"It's a ball." Liam reminded him and I couldn't help but wonder why I was just hearing about this now.

"A ball?!" I asked incredulous. Why would they invite us to a place where we have to dance? I thought, are they not aware of our total lack of coordination and dancing skills? "Why didn't I know about this?"

"Because you were late for the meeting with management." Liam reminded me and I gave him an apologetic look even though he wasn't mad. "Everyone's allowed to bring an extra person. I'm taking Danielle of course. Are you guys bringing anyone?"

Louis nodded "Eleanor." He stated.

"Well..." Zayn said looking thoughtful. "Obviously I'm bringing Perrie, but I think she's been invited too. So I don't know how that's gonna work. I think we'll just go together." He kicked the football to me and I kicked it around a few times before passing it back to him.

"I don't know yet." Niall shrugged and I did the same because I didn't either. I wracked my mind thinking of hot girls that I could possibly take, but my mind went blank. I didn't want to go alone since I knew Niall would probably bring a date, as he always does, and then I would be the only one going alone. Oh well, I thought. We still have a week and if I don't get a date, I'll just ask one of my friends.

The conversation moved on to the new album and the tour that was coming up. We were all quite happy about the songs we had been recording and Niall couldn't wait to be playing more guitar at the concerts. Soon we were called back in to work. So sad, I thought as I looked at the clear blue sky and didn't want to go back in the studio. I reminded myself that I'd be done in a couple of hours and I'd have a whole afternoon to enjoy the nice weather. Happy with the latter thought I walked back in and got to work.

*Dru's pov*

"I am so happy we could meet up! It's been way to long!" I said as I approached Ella and Jane, two of my good friends from high school. "We really need to catch up!" I hugged both of them and we started walking down Oxford Street.

"We do!" Ella said overly excited, as she always was. "I haven't seen you guys the whole summer! And soon we'll all be starting University in different places." She jokingly pouted her lips before pulling them back into a smile and telling us all about Juan, the love of her life that she had met in Mexico during July. Ella was actually Mexican, when she first moved here she spoke no English. Seeing as I am half Mexican myself I helped her around and translated a lot for her. Soon Jane became our friend too and we became a little group, us three and Daniel. Pointless to say that Daniel and I had always been closer and after high school we stuck together while the other two decided on two different Universities out of England.

"My summer has been pretty boring." Jane told us, when Ella had finished telling us about how much she wanted to see the boy she had met again. We walked into a shop and Jane turned to me with a sly grin. "I bet you can't say the same! Right Dru?"

I frowned a little not understanding what she was talking about "What do you mean?" I asked her.

"Oh come on!" She said, the grin never leaving her face. "We've seen pictures of you and Harry Styles at the park with Daniel's little brother!"
