"Thank you so much for looking after Sophia for me for a few hours. I should be back by two. No later" I explained to my sister as I made sure my hair was perfectly straight.

"Where are you going anyway?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "You seem pretty nervous". I let out a sigh and grabbed my bag from my bed. "Just meeting a friend". Serena let out a laugh and nodded her head. "A guy. I get it. Well have fun. But not too much fun! We don't want another baby running around" she stated. "It's not like that Serena!" I giggled.

I walked over to Sophia and kissed her head. "Be good for Aunty Serena ok baby girl?". Sophia nodded her head and smiled. "That's my girl". Serena walked over and picked Sophia up to see me out. "Text or ring if you need me". With that, I left my apartment and headed towards Starbucks. I didn't take my car because it was around a 10 minute walk which I was fine with. I needed some exercise.

Once inside I noticed a mop of brown curly hair. There he was. I took a deep breath before walking over to him trying to hide my nerves, butterflies going off in my stomach.

"Harry?". He turned his head to look at me and smiled brightly. Immediately his dimples appeared making me think of Sophia. "Cleo! Hey! It's been ages" he said as he got up and hugged me tightly. After a couple of seconds he pulled back and pointed to the chair opposite him. "I ordered you a hot chocolate, I remember that being your favourite" he stated.

"Thanks..". He nodded his head and leant his head on his hands. "How have you been then?" He asked. "I've been very busy, let's just say that". Harry nodded his head as I took a sip of my hot chocolate. Not the best I've tasted. "I would ask how you've been but your life is all over the news and TV". He let out a small chuckle and nodded once again, a cheeky smile on his face. "You're right about that. It's not as glamorous as the media out it out to be you know? It's hard. I can't have a private life and I can't have a relationship without people getting involved" he explained.

I leant back in my seat and crossed my arms over my chest thinking about what he said. "Must get stressful and pretty lonely..". He shrugged his shoulders and let out a sigh. "The boys keep me company and all but having a girl in your life is different".

"I haven't had a relationship since whatever me and you were" I stated making his eyes widen in shock. What was so shocking about that? "Seriously?! But you're..you're gorgeous! Who wouldn't want to be with you?" He stated. He was obviously very surprised. "A lot happened in these last 2 years Harry. I have what some people would call baggage". Harry raised an eyebrow in curiosity but knew better and didn't ask about it.

"I saw on the news about you and Kendall Jenner. What's going on there?" I asked him so I could change the subject. "Nothing anymore. She cheated". I raised an eyebrow and nodded my head. "Ouch..though Harry I was wondering why you asked to meet me here after two years?". The curly haired boy chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. "I wanted to catch up with my very own Cleopatra. I mean what I did to you was a douchebag thing to do" he explained as he looked out the window, watching the cars drive past. "I put fame and fortune over you. Even though we only had sex, I did feel something for you" he continued.

"But the second an opportunity appeared you ran and never told me. Not even one text".  Harry looked down at his coffee and nodded. The poor boy looked so guilty. It was like he'd been tearing himself up about it for awhile. 'It's ok Harry. You gave me the greatest gift of my life' is what I wanted to say but I couldn't.

"Cleo..?". My eyes widened as I heard Emily's voice: I turned my head to see her looking from Harry to me. It was at that point realisation came in her eyes. Oh no. She knows. I have her a pleading look hoping she wouldn't give anything away about Sophia. "Emily, I thought you were working today?" I asked her casually. "No..they called saying I didn't have to go in" she answered sounding very unsure. "I'll ring you later Cleo" she said before walking away.

"Who was that?" Harry asked as he watched Emily walk to the counter. "My bestfriend. You remember her don't you? I use to talk about her?". Harry looked in deep thought for several seconds before nodding. "I can't remember her name though..".

For a couple of hours me and Harry sat in Starbucks for a couple of hours just catching up on life and what we've done in the last 2 years. However, my mind was with Emily. What was I going to say to her?!
