Little Black Dress

Harry's POV

Turning up at Beccas place with her ex Sebastian there totally threw me for a loop. Poor Becca looked so uncomfortable.  From what I can understand they parted ways somewhat amicably but Seb seems to pop up every now and then laying guilt trips on Becca saying he "wants to try again" and "why"? I've played that game too many times to count and I understand that Becca gets incredibly frustrated.  Why flog a dead horse?  Sometimes people just aren't meant to be together and they need to realise that.

Becca apologises profusely as we drive into town to Claridges.  I tell her that its ok, not to worry and not to let it ruin our night.  She agrees and we change the subject talking about Paris and how Beccas show went.  We arrive at the Carpark finding a spot in record time.  I cut the engine and head round to Beccas door.  I offer her my hand "Mlady"?  She smiles her gorgeous smile and giggles as she takes it.  I set the car alarm and head towards the lifts to the Dining Room.  

I can tell she is impressed as she is taking it all in.  She tells me that she has been past many times but has never come in.  I'm glad that her first time is with me.  She deserves the best and I hope that she enjoys her self this evening.  We make our way to the Dining Room and I am greeted like an old friend.  "This way Mr Styles".  We are escorted towards the back of the Dining Room by the beautiful staircase.  I like that we are given privacy as I don't want any intrusions. I order a bottle of Dom as we sit down and peruse the Menus. I suggest that we start with Soup and Becca agrees.  

**********

Dinner was sublime.  Our chat was easy, the food was on point and Becca, well she is such a beautifully talented lady.  The more time I spend with her the more I want to get to know her better.  Our first meeting was so quick and full of excitement and unbridled passion but I owe her more than that - I want to go slow, take time, enjoy each others company and if I'm reading her signals right I think that Becca is on the same wave length.  

After we finish Coffee I suggest we head to a Club, maybe Paper in Soho or The Rooftop Garden.  Becca agrees that sounds like a great idea so we square away the bill and head to the Carpark. I open the door for her and she slides into the passenger seat.  I start the engine and head to The Rooftop Garden. 

I pull up outside and jump out as the Concierge offers to park the Audi for me.  I open Becca's door for her and we head up to the Garden's.  I've been a member here for some time and I know Becca will love it and appreciate its beauty.  

Grimmy is hosting an event here tonight in the Spanish Garden and asked if Becca and I wanted to pop along.  I figured it would be a good idea as she could meet Grimmy, Pix, Alexa, Gemmy, Louise and a few others again.  We head up to the door and I see Grimmy from a distance.  He greets me in a warm hug and then turns to Becca.  "Miss Andrews, I am pleased you could make it, come this way my love, we need some bubbles stat".  

He gently pulls Becca to the bar and she looks at me with a "help me Harry" glint in her eyes.  I shrug and laugh and she soon breaks into a smile as Grimmy plies her with bubbles.  He then leads us over to a large table where my nearest and dearest are sat.  I'm enveloped in hugs from my sister, Louise, Pix, and Alexa.  I want to introduce Becca to them again but Grimmy is taking up all her time.  I can hear them talking about clothing, her runway show in Paris.  I love Grimmy to bits but sometimes he just needs to be quiet.  He could talk for England that one.  I head over and politely interject asking Grimmy if I can steal Becca away.  "Course love, course"  He kisses Becca on the cheek twice and tells her that he's glad she could come.  She smiles back.  "Thank you for inviting me Grimmy, it's quite beautiful here".   "I like this one H" he replies, "she's a gooden".  Even in the dark I can see that her cheeks are slightly pink at Grimmy's remark.  She is so beautiful and I have to agree with him.

"You ok love" I ask her "Grimmy not to full on for you"?  She giggles.  "I've secretly had a crush on Grimmy for years Harry, when I found out he was gay I was devastated".  I laugh out loud then.  "Oh god don't tell him will you" she looks at me with her beautiful eyes laughing.  "Your secrets safe with me love"  I reply back.  "Come, I want to introduce you to some people.  She looks a little worried then.  I motion for Gemmy and Louise to come over.  "Becca, you remember my best friend Louise Teasdale and this is my sister Gemma".  Lou greets her warmly in a hug and congratulates her on her successful show in Paris.  "Thank you so much Louise, I'm really pleased with it.  Gemmy hugs her next.  "Lovely to meet you finally Becca, H hasn't stopped talking about you".  It's my turn to flush with embarrassment.  Trust my big sister to drop me in it.  Becca looks at me with a glint in her eye.  "Is that so Styles, god what have you said about me hmm"?  "Only the truth love" I reply trying to take the heat of myself. "That you are a beautiful lady with extreme talent".  There that should do it.  I see that Becca is indeed blushing, yes point to Styles! Gemmy offers Becca a seat and a glass of bubbles.  We scoot in to the table and I take her hand gently in mine stroking it reassuringly.  Her gorgeous eyes looking up at me.  I want to kiss her so badly right now, but know that I need to just be chill.  Chill is good.  

Becca strikes up conversation easily with Gemmy, Pix, Alexa and Louise.  They talk designers, runway trends, this years new finds, make up colours everything.  I am left in the dust and make my way to the bar where I find Grimmy talking with Rita Ora.  Rita greets me with a lovely warm hug.  "Allo darlin, you alright"?  "I am love" I reply back.  We chat for a little while and I see that Becca is heading towards me.  She sneaks up beside me and lets me know she is headed to the bathroom.  I take her hand then and bring it to my lips in a soft kiss.  She smiles at me then, "you are quite something aren't you Styles".  I let her hand go reluctantly as she heads to the bathroom.  Grimmy and Rita look at me with my dopey smile.  "Ohhh you've got it bad haven't you H, you like her a lot".  "Not gonna lie Grimmy, I think she's absolutely beautiful and I'd love to see more of her".  "Well I think she's delightful, beautiful, friendly god she's the whole package H".  

I buy another bottle of Champagne and take it back to our table where Becca soon returns from the Bathroom.  I pour her a glass and she sips it gently.  I slip in beside her and ask if she would like to dance.  She stands up and takes my hand and leads me to the dance floor.  Our dance moves this time aren't as crazy as they were last time we met and danced.  I twirl her round gently and she laughs her beautiful laugh almost tripping on the person next to her then apologizing profusely.  I bring her in close to me and we sway in time to the music which has now slowed down quite considerably.  She looks up at me.  "I'm having a wonderful night Harry, thank you for Dinner, the drinks, its just really lovely".  "You are welcome love, my pleasure".  I kiss her gently on the head, she snuggles into my chest then, her hands tracing over me.  I'm trying to be a gentleman and not make any moves but its hard not to.  I take her hands in mine then kissing them gently as she looks at me.  She smiles her beautiful smile at me again, looking so content and I am happy that she sees I am trying to take this slow.  She then however takes me completely by surprise and whispers in my ear.  "It's ok Harry, you can kiss me".  I look at her, briefly checking I heard her right.  She nods up at me.  I lean down to her, eyes closed as our lips meet in the most electrifying kiss I have ever experienced.  Her hands gently round my neck, her mouth the way it just melts into mine.  Our tongues meet for a brief moment and I am engulfed in her.  We pull away from each other, and I instantly feel cold.  "Wow" I breathe under my breath as I gently stroke her cheek.  "Indeed wow" she replies back.  I want to take her home now, make her mine over and over again, but I can't I need to be sensible, I don't want to ruin this for another quick fumble in my bed, though last time it was definitely more than a quick fumble.  I am going to take it slowly, court her, treat her with respect like the beautiful angel she is.
