It had been a couple of weeks since I had met the Prince and I had gotten the job at Finance and Fiscal Affairs, it wasn't an ideal job, but it was something to get on my feet. After my interview that day Harry had text me asking me how it went, and I had simply told him that I would know in a couple of days. He had went on to tell me that I would get it, and to put honestly he was right I did. That was two weeks ago and I haven't heard anything from him, which was fine with me, I knew how busy he gets. 

Granted work was slightly boring, but it had it's perks, like Lucy, a shy woman who minds herself and Dillon a guy that has a laid back personality. I met them the day I started and can count on them, if need be. "Hey Dillon I got that paper you needed for a Mr. Herman." I say placing the paper onto his desk. 

"Hey thanks Sara" he exclaimed happily "You know after a hard day a work maybe we should all head out for some drinks." 

"Yea we should it be fun!" Lucy says twirling in her chair. 

"We should at least be safe about it" I say smiling, as soon as I finished saying that my phone buzzed at me, I looked down and saw that it was a text message from Harry. I unlocked the phone and opened the message to reply back to him. 

'Sara how you doing deep apologies from not keeping contact two weeks ago I mean to mend that greatly, What're you doing tonight?' he wrote, I blushed and quickly started my typing. 

'Going out for a few drinks tonight, although it's my friend's idea, but I do intend to see if you want to tag along?' I text back and sending it. By now Dillon and Lucy where watching me and it was Dillon who spoke first. " Who's texting you?" he asked slightly confused. 

"Oh just another friend I met when I first moved out here." I say looking back down to my phone when Harry's reply came in. 

'Sadly I can't, I wish you the best of fun! make some days free for me.'  he wrote. I had text back saying will do and thinking of you, before getting back to work. When Harry gave me his number that day and he texted me that following evening I hadn't even realized he did until he wrote 'Smashing' on a reply and now every time his number shows up on my screen, I've labeled him as "Handsome Hunk" in my phone. Harry will never know I call him that. 

After work the three of us show up at Cahoots for our break away from what we call it "life" and as we walked in Dillon had smile as he asked us what we wanted to drink. I had asked for a bloody mary while Lucy asked for a long island ice tea. Two of us found a table that sat four and sat down Lucy sat across from me. "Hey Sara I'm actually glad you moved here to London." she admitted. 

"I'm glad I did too Lucie! You and Dillon have become important to me, and I could never replace you guys!" I say as I see Dillon coming to sit next to Lucy. 

"Yay for pure happiness! " Dillon announced handing me my drink as Lucy sipped at hers. All three of us for some apparent reason had the same thought of pulling out our phones to take pictures of our night out. As the night went on I had two bloody Mary's and 3 shots of Whiskey drunk out of my mind I had completely slipped my mind when my phone had went off. "Hey Sara bear. Who's Handsome Hunk?" he asked looking up from screen. 

"uhhhhh no one" I shout grabbing my phone quickly and reading the text. 'Ok what's with all the pics they're cute don't get me wrong love 'em.' I hanged my head I drunked text him. 

I quickly responded 'My Bad Head hurts life a bitch.' I hit send and when I reread my message I hit my head on the table. "Shit! He's gonna think I'm an idiot!" I say by that time we had decided to leave and as we were getting up from our table, load and behold he texted back. 

'You okay? Do you want me to come and get you?' it said I almost rammed my foot on a table leg when I read that one. 

'Yes......No.....I don't know.....I miss that hair of yours.......Don't overthink that last part I'll fine get a taxi home.' I hit send without thinking once more, I groaned again when we got outside. "I did it again, this time......urgh get me home please." I say as Dillon hailed a cab for me. 

"you going to be okay Sara? " Lucy asked leaning on Dillon slightly, she hadn't drink that much so was still coherent as the evening went on. 

"yea I'll be fine, Stay safe getting home." I say as I told the taxi driver where to go. I got home stumbling up the steps to my door grabbing my keys looking for the one that would let me inside. I dropped them and cursed my luck, all the while ignoring my phone, telling me that Harry was trying to get a hold of me, but sadly with no luck. Ten minutes I got into my apartment and found my way to my living room and plopping down. I almost went to sleep had my phone not ringed it way into existent. 

I grabbed my phone and answered it "Hello?" I say not knowing it had been Harry the whole time. 

"'ello. Are you okay? Did you make it home alright?"  He said, I noticed he sounded worried more then I thought he would. 

"Oh yea I'm fine got home okay, slept some of it off in the car.......ummm about my last text...." he had interrupted me. 

"your last text put a smile on my face that's for sure, but I'm glad you're home safe and sound."  he put in. I could hear that smile even if I couldn't see it. 

"Well I'm glad I was able to place a smile on someone tonight. Harry that text you wrote when you said you'd come get me, would really come get me?" I asked needing to know if he would. 

"Sari I would, against all odds I would."  he replied after that we talked a little bit more before he told me to go to bed. "Alright Love time for you to go to bed." he stated. 

"Just....Alright Call me again sometime, When I'm not lost to the sober world." I say earning me a laugh from him, we said our good byes and I quickly got to my feet and dressed into some pajamas and when I got to bed that night I had gotten one last text from him saying 'good night and sweet dreams'  That's exactly what I did, dreaming of him.
