You & I (Harry Styles)

6. The Arrangement Effect

-Harry's POV-

I felt terrible. I had ruined her phone for the second time and I knew she must be pretty mad at me no matter what she said.

"Look I am really-" I started again.

"Hey," she interrupted. "Don't apologize again. I know it was an accident just like when I broke it the first time."

"But don't lie and tell me your not mad." I said as I pressed the lobby number in the lift.

"I'll admit I was close to hating you at first but like I said, it was an accident. That's like saying I hate myself for what I did." She looked seriously at me. "I did at first, but I can't hate you forever like I can't hate myself forever. I mean sure it's important that I have a phone but when it comes down to it I won't be materialistic and want to kill you over a phone."

I thought about that. Well not to justify myself but she had a point. She's amazing that's all there is to it, I thought.

"Well thank you then." I smiled.

"And I get that Clint has more important things to do than to deal with my phone," She was saying. "And I don't want to rush him because I get it's annoying to do and stuff. But how long do you think it might take?"

I had a thought that I felt terrible for thinking. But I thought it all the same. In a way I was sort of glad she had another excuse to hang around us longer. And I hoped it honestly took awhile to fix.

"I'm not sure, it might be awhile." I said. "Not too long obviously, but probably not as fast as he did it today."

She nodded. "I understand." Then the lift came to a stop and we got out. "I just don't exactly know what I'm supposed to do. I mean I use my phone as a planner and reminder and to receive email and you know... And this is my second day here and I need to make calls and get school mail..."

I thought about what I could do. "Well I can arrange something."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Like I'll take out your SIM card and I can find a phone to let you borrow in the meantime." I'm sure I had some extra cellular device somewhere; I would definatly find a way.

"Really?"

"Absolutely, I mean it's the least I can do, Ria." I grinned. "And I could bring it to you tomorrow or something."

"Okay, but I have my first class tomorrow morning." Ria said as we walked out of the hotel. I remembered to slap on my beanie and sunglasses. "If it could be afterwards? I get out at one."

I nodded. "That works perfectly. And I know I have no way to contact you yet so let's set something up."

"Okay... Uh, do you want to meet at that coffee shop near Big Ben?" She looked at me.

"Okay, at like half past one?"

She nodded. "Good then, thank you." She smiled- I liked her smile. "What if you run into something, Harry? Like that prevents you from showing up and you can't tell me?"

"I will do anything I can to see you." I told her. "Unless I die of coarse. Then I'll have Louis go fetch you."

She laughed. "I hope you don't die," We crossed the street.

"So what do you tend to order at a coffee shop?" I asked.

"Hmm depends on the weather." Ria tapped a finger to her lip in thought. I wished I could take a mental photograph. "I'd say normally some type if caramel frappucino or sometimes a cinnamon one."
