Silver Lining | Harry/Demi

Three

Harry slept in the evening sun, shirtless by the pool. The idea of moving to New York's such a challenge for him, offered to running his dad's company was the biggest compliment, but to be honest he liked it when he doing it by himself, start from nothing. It also good for him to leave his past behind, no more her, not officially, but at least he can get away from his clingy soon to be ex-wife.

He loved his new house in nearby Manhattan, all glass window and wood, and he loved New York. Who knows, maybe he's gonna meet the future Mrs. Styles here?

On the verge of sleep, he was woken by a shadow blocking the sun from his face. He opened one eye, squinting up.

'hello, boss.'

Louis slap him sharply in the head.

'ow!'

'don't you ever call me like that again!'

'what? You're the boss, Lou.' yes Louis and Harry are best friend, they was attend the same Uni back in London.

'yeah, but you're boss of the boss.' he sat beside him. 'so what's up? I bring the financial statement that you ask.'

'it's Saturday! Weekend! Who still thoughts about work? You can always bring it on Monday.'

'she did.'

'who?'

'Miss. Lovato, our new financial adviser.'

'make sure I give her extra credits.' he sat up 'just leave it there. I'll check later but for now, I have something important to tell.'

'spill the bean.'

'I met a girl! Or a woman.'

'really? Where? What's her name? Did you get her number? Pretty? Nice arse? Nice tits?'

Harry shook his head by his friends questions. 'at the pub near the office last night. Pretty, really pretty. Big brown eyes, with a long dyed blonde hair, nice arse, nice tits.' he chuckled. 'mate, I just met her, should I ask her number? I'm too awkward for this things, it's been too long since,- you know?'

'yeah, I get it mate, but it's good for you.  At least you get her name, right?'

'that's the thing I forgot her name. Something sounds like Debby, daisy, I don't know, it's begin with a D.'

'well, maybe you'll get the chance to see her again.'

Demi sits alone outside a cafe in Manhattan, waits and waits, watching people walked passed by, feeling a bit annoyed by the fact she must do something related to work on Sunday, which is her days off.

Demi stands, smoothes her dress when he sees her boss, Louis, entering the cafe.

'sorry I'm late.' he said.

'well, for once I'm earlier than you.'

'I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting, dems. Seriously It's unbelievably busy!'

'I hope you have something important to tell. It's Sunday, my only time with Maxim, you aware of that right, Lou?'

'yeah, I know. I told you I'm sorry. Where's har- Mr. Harold?'

' I don't know, I don't even know his face.'

Louis pulled out his phone and try to call Harry,  Demi watching him, holding her chin with her knuckles.

'Demi, I'm so sorry...'

'what?' she looked at him confused.

'he can't make it for today, he canceled it. I'm so sorry about wasting your time.' says Louis. 'he was meant to call and cancel.' he can hear her sighs.

'it's alright, not your fault, Lou.'

'lunch? My treat?'

'thanks Lou. But I better go now, Max alone with Ashley and I don't really trust her with a kids.'

'can I take you and Max to the zoo?' he still try. 'as my apologies for canceled meeting on your days off?'

She smile politely to him. 'sure.'

He always has a crush on her since first day of high school. He knows that Max's her child with her high school lovers, Zayn Malik. But nothing can change his feeling towards her. That's why he offered her the job in a first place, and help her covering about Max.
