The Reinvention of Harry Styles (Completed)

Chapter 12

Harry slumped into the seat across from his sister and ducked his head behind the menu as he studied it. "Why did we have to sit outside, Gem?" He whispered.

"Because Molly said you need to be seen with someone other than your manager, so people don't think you live in his attic." She explained and put her menu down. "Besides, it's nice out, and we could both use a little sun."

"Ha," Harry snorted. "I just got out of a meeting with Jeff, clearing up a rumor that I do not have a little son."

"What?" Gemma leaned in and her smile vanished.

"Nothing. It was just a rumor." He put down his menu and returned her stare. "What?"

"We should take a selfie." She pulled out her phone. "For the fans. Molly says they'd love it."

"Do you listen to everything she tells you?" Harry joked, and fixed his hair for the picture.

"She seems to know what she's talking about. Now lean in. Closer, Harry." She grabbed his arm and pulled him over before snapping a selfie of the two.

"Let me see that." He grabbed her phone. "I look bad, let's do it again." This time he took the picture, and made sure he was ready so he didn't look so tired in this picture.

"I'll text you the pic, so you can put it on your sm," Gemma said as she took her phone back.

"You want me to post that?" He tilted his head.

"Yes, Dr. Molly's orders." Gemma was already speedily typing away on twitter. "How's this caption: 'Getting lunch with this sweet creature'?" She grinned back at Harry.

"That's clever, can I steal that from you? I suppose I should say something to promote my new single..." Harry thought for a moment as he got the picture ready to post on Twitter and Instagram.

"What about. 'Looking like a couple of ghosts with @GemmaStyles in this rare London sun #NeedATan." Gemma suggested.

"I don't really use # though, so, you can have that one, and I'll take the 'Sweet Creature' caption. Considering that song is supposedly about you, it would make more sense if I said it, anyway." Harry shrugged.

"What? 'Supposedly'?" Gemma's eyebrows shot up.

"I'm not at liberty to confirm nor deny anything," Harry teased as he posted the picture with Gemma's caption. "I feel like Molly, working my own lyrics into everyday conversation." Harry laughed to himself.

"Right, anyway....lunch?" Gemma eyed him.

Meanwhile, Molly was at home watching videos of people covering Harry's album. She found one she really liked, a girl named Daisy who was described as a 'young Taylor Swift'. Daisy had managed to put a bit more emotion into the few songs she had covered, and Molly thought her voice would really compliment Harry's. She'd heard him rehearsing with his band and there was something missing, and Molly thought Daisy might be that something.

However, when Harry returned from lunch with Gemma, he didn't seem to be in the mood to watch someone who was supposedly the 'younger version' of his ex-girlfriend cover his music.

"Now that I've got a bit of time off, I can finally see Tom's play. Do you want to come with, and see your ginger lover-boy again?" Harry intended for the question to sound teasing, but he couldn't hide the edge in his tone.

"He's not my 'lover-boy' any more than you are." Molly rolled her eyes.

"Really? You're pretending to be his girlfriend too?" He said quietly, and this time Molly caught that edge he was trying to mask.
