Dive (Harry Styles) AU

Chapter VI

           

It's already Monday morning and saying that I really don't want to get out of bed is an understatement. I passed all weekend locked inside this apartment eating and watching movies and tv shows, it would have been a relaxing weekend if it wasn't for what happened Friday night with Harry. His words are still on repeat in my mind and I think they will be for a long time. I always had a low self esteem and Harry saying those things hurt me more than anything. He was mostly the reason that i didn't got out during the last two days, I really don't want to see him and because London weather has been horrible, it's been raining all weekend, not giving me and my friends much to do outside. I told them what happened with Harry, they noticed right way something was wrong when I got up Saturday morning to have breakfast with them. I'm a open book for them, I really can't hide anything from this girls. After I told the whole story, they said it was best if I keep away from him and not listen to what he said about me. Is better said than done, but I'm gonna keep my distance from him, he already proved to me he isn't a good person to have around. My alarm rings for the third time this morning and that means I really have to get up. I get out of bed to have a quick shower, while I am taking my shirt off something catches my eye. I look at my neck and see a very big love bite, he really marked me, I touch it with my fingertips and wince in pain, it's still very sensitive. I have to cover this up with some makeup, I can't go to work like this. I fucking hate him so much.

After my shower I get dress really quick, I choose black skinny jeans and a red blouse, I end the outfit with my black high heels and start putting my makeup on. I start to cover the love bite but is taking me forever to hide it under some mascara. Finally when I think it's covered properly I make my way to the kitchen to have breakfast.

"Good morning Hanna! Where is Katia?"

"She had an early rehearsal at the academy. She is trying to get the main role in some musical."

"I'm sure she will get it, she is an amazing dancer." I say drinking my coffee..

"You look sexy today, that is all to just go to work?" She asks eyeing my outfit.

"I have to look professional. Do I look bad?" I say self conscious.

"No. You look good. Breaking a lot of hearts in the office today." She laughs.

"Shut up Hanna." I say smiling at her and making my way to the front door, closing it behind me. When I'm descending the stairs I see Harry is making is way up. Fuck my luck. I look at my feet and keep descending. . He stops me by getting in front me.

"Mary, can I talk to you for a moment, please?" He asks looking at me with pleading eyes.

"What the hell do you want Harry? Didn't I made myself clear the other night that I don't want to talk to you." I say annoyed.

"Please I just need ..."

"I don't care what you have to say, I'm late for work. I need to go." I say passing beside him and descending the stairs into the lobby. I didn't want to be rude to him but it's for the best, I have to keep telling myself it's for the best.

After the underground ride I finally arrived at the office, I say hi to Olive that is answering a call, she waves at me and gives me a smile. When I get to my desk I noticed Gemma isn't here yet. She must be late. I start reading my emails and check my notes for this week article when I see James making his way over to me. Great, now I have to deal with this guy, it's still early morning and I already know that it will be a terrible day. He reaches my desk and leans over it, his eyes are at the same level as mine.

"Good morning Mary! How was your weekend?" He asks me with a flirty smile on his face.

"It was good." I don't even ask him how was his, because that will lead him on to keep talking to me. And I lied, of course, my weekend was horrible because of my way too attractive neighbor. Why am I thinking about him now? James asks me something but I didn't heard what he said..
