Attraction

t h i r t y // asking me on a date

"So what exactly are we doing today?" I asked before taking a huge bite of the chocolate covered pancake. Harry looked up from his phone screen and replied, " Today we don't have any official plans or any sort of meeting. If you want take rest today. You did a good job these few days."

I looked at him wide eyed, quite shocked at his nice behaviour. It was good to know he felt I was doing my best and this was probably the first time he genuinely appreciated my work. "Yeah I guess I'll just stay in on today" I replied sending him a smile.

The rest of the breakfast went on in comfortable silence. I occasionally sent snaps to Natalie of the place around and also of the food.

We reached outside my room. I opened the door to enter, and just as I was about to step in Harry called out. I turned around to face him and raised my brow.

"I.. uh. Listen do you want to I.. I mean I can show you around tonight if you're fine with the idea?" He spoke flustered, trying to avoid eye contact.

I could feel a smile growing on my face. Is he asking me out on a date?! "Yeah sure why not!?" I replied grinning.

He nodded and without another word walked towards the elevator and left.

I entered my room and fell on my bed open armed. I stared at the ceiling and thought about what I should be wearing. I couldn't stop smiling and if any stranger were to see me, they would honestly think I'm not right in the head.

I ran to the closet to find out something nice to wear. I suddenly realised that Harry hadn't mentioned where we were going, at what time.

I took out my phone and texted him,

Emily : Hey, when are we going to leave and where are we going?

My thumb kept hovering above the SEND button as I reread the text and kept overthinking if it was okay to send it or not. Fuck it I thought and sent the text.

I waited glancing at the screen every minute. I let out a sigh and went to the drawer and pulled out a file I was supposed to submit. Just then around five minutes my phone beeped and I rushed to it.

I waited before opening the text as I didn't want him to think I was stuck to my phone eager for his reply.

Harry: Be ready my 7, wear something comfortable. x

Did he just send a kiss at the end!? I get like a giddy teenager whose crush just spoke to her. I went through suitcase to find something cute and comfortable.

Well I still have eight hours left to pass. I opened my laptop and tried finishing off my file.

............

I heard a shrill sound and I woke up. I rubbed my eyes and looked around. Seeing papers scattered around me, the food tray beside my bed I realised I fell asleep.

I went to the door and opened it. A room service boy stood outside, who probably came to take the plates I used for lunch.

He smiled and left after clearing the place. I was halfway done through my files when I decided to eat lunch. I ordered a large pizza and garlic bread. I was busy watching YouTube videos and really tired that I dozed off and didn't even realise it.

I looked at the time and saw it was 6:30! Oh shit! I have only half an hour to get ready. I switched off my laptop, closing the lid a little to harshly as I was in a hurry.

"Oh shit I'm going to be super late! Clothes clothes where are my clothes?!" I started talking to my self trying to figure out what to do. My hair kept falling on my face so I grabbed them and put them up in a bun.
