Girl Crush

Chapter 3

For the next couple of days Harry and Alex tried to write songs. Harry really tried but what he came up with just wasn't good enough. It wasn't the level he knew he was capable of.
"No! No! No! It's sucks! It fucking SUCKS!!!!!!" Harry yelled.
"It isn't that bad!" Alex tried to calm Harry down.
"Alex you are my friend so just be honest, don't spare me! This is a shit song!"
"Yes! You're right this is a shit song," Alex tried not to laugh but he couldn't. Harry looked at him with that Harry is very unimpressed face, but he began to laugh too.
"Just for the record I'm laughing at my own misery!" he said. "What if I've lost it? What if I never write another song? I will be remembered as the one who couldn't do it", Harry groans as he puts his head in his hands.
"Harry now you are overreacting. We are only writing for a couple of days and you put too much pressure on yourself. You think you really must write a really, really, really good song right now. It doesn't work that way and you know it. You know what, let's stop for now. Go home, have a shower and I'll pick you up at seven. We'll go out for dinner and afterwards we'll go to a club."
"Dinner fine but, a club? Really?" Harry sighs.
"Yes Harry. We're going out tonight. You need to relax a little."
Harry nods, "Okay. I guess I'll see you later on." He got up from his seat, put on his jacket and went back to his house.

"Dinner was really good. Thanks Alex for making me go with you." Harry said.
" The night isn't done yet", replied Alex, "Now let's party!"
" Yay!" Harry cheers sarcastically.
"Oh Harry get over yourself! You're fucking twenty-three years old! A party once and awhile won't hurt. And by the way, it's not just the two of us. I've invited Mitch and the rest of the group we went to Jamaica with."
"Ah Jamaica! It was so much fun", says Harry dreamily. "What if we did it again?" he looked at Alex. "Jamaica was awesome! It was the full experience. If it can be arranged..." Harry smiled. "I'm in!", Alex said.

Harry took his phone and called Jeff, his manager. After 10 minutes on the phone everything was sorted. "Jeff is going try make it happen."
"Let's hope it works out but for now the only thing you have to do is party! Come on!" Alex gets up from the table and Harry follows him.

All the others were already at the club. Alex and Harry greeted everybody with a bro hug.
They sat on the couches in the VIP area in the club and they all got their drinks. "I want to ask you guys something", Harry said suddenly. "I have tried to start writing the second album but it isn't going very well," Harry admitted. "Alex and I were talking about Jamaica and if Jeff can arrange it we want to go back. I really liked writing with you guys so I want to ask if you would consider going back with me?" Harry asked.
They all nodded, "Of course we want to go back with you!" Mitch said.
"Thank you guys" Harry said as he raised his glass, "To the second album!"
"To the second album!!" they all cheered and drank.

Harry was content. He went out with the guys, they caught up, drank and joked. Harry could feel that he was more relaxed.
The guys were all talking when suddenly a woman came up to Alex. Harry's jaw dropped the moment he saw her, she was by far the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She wasn't skinny but had all the right curves in the all right places. She was little and had brown mid length hair. "She is perfect!" Harry thought.
Mitch gave Harry a push with his elbow and whispers, "Close your mouth and stop staring." Harry closed his mouth and tried not to stare at the woman while she was talking to Alex but he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Harry this is Jane," Alex says suddenly. Harry looks Jane right in the eyes. She had the most beautiful blue eyes. For a moment time stood still and they just stared at each other till Jane reached out her hand, "Hi nice to meet you," she said.
When Harry touched her hand,it was like electricity was running through his whole body. Jane noticed it to. He saw it in the way she looked at him. Harry chuckled, "Nice to meet you too."
"Jane is a songwriter as well. Maybe if she wants, she could write with us some time?" Alex interrupt. Harry nods while Jane says that she would love to.
"I really liked your album," she admitted to Harry. "I've to go back to my friends now but just give me a call when you're ready to schedule an appointment. It was nice to meet you Harry," Jane says and she gives him her most beautiful smile before she walks away.

"Wow!!" Harry says when he watches Jane walk away. Everybody on the table laughed at him.
"She is hot isn't she?" Alex asks and all the men, including Harry nod. "How old do you think she is?"
Harry thinks, she is older than him but not by much. "I don't think she is older than 27," he says.
Alex laughs when he sees his friend is mesmerized by Jane. "She is 10 years older than you," Alex says. "She is 33."
"No!" Harry says, "She's beautiful", he whispers.
They start talking about something else but Harry is searching the room with his eyes, looking for Jane. Harry can see Jane at the bar. "Should I go and talk to her? I want to know more about her but what if she treats me like Camille?" he thinks. "Come on Harry it's just a talk nothing more!" and he walks up to her.

"Hi. Can't you get the attention of the bartender?" Harry asks.
"No, I've been waiting for ages but he only pays attention to the hot young girls back there." "If I was the bartender I would help the hot woman over here," Harry chuckled. Jane looks around and notices that she is the only woman at the bar. She shyly laughs at Harry.
"What a smile," Harry thinks, "those lips. I want to press her against the bar and kiss those lips right now" he says to himself.
"Or maybe the bartender doesn't see you," Harry teases.
"Hey!" Jane playfully slaps his arm, "I know I'm little but no need to say it out loud!" She acts like she is mad but Harry can see that she isn't.
Harry calls the bartender and orders drinks for them. "So you write songs, anything I know" Harry asks?
" Actually I wrote Girl Crush for Little Big Town. I saw your cover of it and it was beautiful."
Harry smiled, "Thank you," he said. They talked a little about writing and making music. When their drinks were finished the DJ put on a slow song. "I really love this song," Jane whispers.
Harry takes her hand, "Come on, let's dance". He takes her to the dance floor. Harry puts his hands on her hips and pulls her close against him, probably closer than he should but he couldn't stop it. They danced a little and suddenly Jane looks up in Harry's eyes, it feels like everything fades away and it's only them there on the dancefloor. Harry lays his hand against her cheek and she presses it harder against his hand. They keep staring at each other. Harry leans in and Jane also comes closer. "Just kiss the woman!" Harry screams at himself in his head.
Right at the moment he was about to kiss her but Jane pulls back. "Sorry," she whispers, "I have to go. Bye." and then she was gone. Harry wanted to go after her but he stopped himself, "You don't know her. It's weird for you to go after her," he says to himself.
Harry goes back to his friends but he keeps looking for Jane for the rest of the night but she was gone. Harry was just left there asking himself, "What did he do wrong?"
