A Twist in Fate (A Harry Styles Arranged Marriage love story)

Chapter Twelve <3

                (A week later) It’s been about a week since I moved in with Harry and Louis. Living with them is a blast! We’ve stayed up late every night I’ve been there, watching movies, pranking the neighbors and other celebrities, and ordering pizza at the craziest times. I have to admit, Harry isn’t that bad once you get to know him. Yeah, he can be a flirt and be rather pervy, but that’s just who he is I guess.   I was sitting on the couch, between Louis and Harry, when Harry’s phone went off causing us all to jump. “Hello?” Harry says getting up and walking over to our bedroom, leaving Louis and I on the couch. After a couple minutes of silence, Harry sprinted out of our bedroom and jumped over the back of the couch tackling Louis. “That was Liam; we have a band meeting with management today in 20 minutes.” Harry says standing up off the ground. “What is the meeting about?” Louis asks putting on his Toms. “Umm he didn’t say.” Harry said before coming over and hugging me tightly. While hugging me, he whispered “Meet us at Nando’s around 6 pm.” “Okay, will do.” I whisper back. He gives me one last squeeze, then heads for the door following after Louis. About 10 minutes later, I decided to text Bay.

“Hey, do you want to go to the mall?”

“Yeah, sure! Pick me up in an hour?”

“Yupp.”

              I threw my phone on the bed, as I made my way to mine and Harry’s master bathroom. After a 20 minute shower, I got out and curled my hair and applied natural looking make-up. I changed into this [polyvore].

       (At Bay’s house.) As I pulled into the driveway, Bay ran out the front door with a huge smile plastered on her face. “Hey!” I said as she jumped in the passenger seat. “Hey!” She sang. “So how are you and the Nialler?” I ask pulling out of her driveway. “Better than ever! You should hear the date he took me on last night!” She exclaimed practically jumping with joy. “Where did he take you?” I ask curiously as I hit the motor way. “Well we drove to the beach around dusk and walked down a dirt path. While walking down the trail, I saw little flickers of light through the brush. When we got to the end of the trail, I heard the sound of waves crashing against the shore. He brought me to a small private beach. There was a blanket set out and candles and tiki lights lit up the small area. As we sat down on the blanket under the moonlight, with a billion stars sparkling in the sky he sang to me and played his guitar.” She says smiling and looking into the distance dreamily. It was nice to see Bay happy again, she has had a rough past in love and I was glad to know she’d be safe with Niall. “That’s so sweet, what song did he sing?” “He sang “I’ll Be” to me. It was the most amazing thing a guy has ever done for me!” “Awe, that is so cute!” I say turning into the malls parking lot.

            “Where do you want to go first?” I ask as we walk in. “Well, I know you being the preppy girly girl that you are, you probably want to hit Ralph Lauren first.” Bay says before laughing. “I’m not preppy!” I say punching her in the shoulder. “Owww! And yes, you are!” “Nuh-uh.” I respond before sticking out my tongue. “But Ralph Lauren is right there… and I do need a new polo.” I say starting to walk towards the store. “Of course you do.” Bay says before rolling her eyes and following me.

           After spending about a half hour in there, I ended up buying five polo’s for myself, one for Harry, and a couple sun dresses. “God, did you anything not girly in that store.” Bay says vaguely. “Yeah, of course!” “What Harry’s polo?” “Yup!” I say smiling and swinging the Ralph Lauren bag from side to side. “Wow.” “Hey! There’s Juicy couture" I say walking towards the pink and gold store. “Oh my god. It’s so girly in here.” Bailey says looking around at the pretty lace tops. “Well yeah!” I say taking a couple of the lacey shirts off the racks. After we visited a few more stores (Vineyard Vines, Calvin Klein, and Lacoste.) I asked Bay where she would like to shop, seeing that she did not buy anything at the last 5 stores we went to. “So Bay, where would you like to shop now?” “Hot Topic.” She says walking over to a darkly lit store. “Bay, what is this place?” I ask as we walk in and I see a bunch of dark clothing and skulls. The workers there had piercings and a bunch of tattoos. They shot me a dirty stare when they saw all the bags I had in my hands. “Bay, I really don’t like this place.” “Well I do, I’ll only be in here for about 15 minutes.” She says grabbing a black and purple shirt and skull bows off the shelf. “I’ll meet you out in front.” I say starting to walk towards the exit. “Okay.” She says grabbing more things to try on. As I sat in front of the store, I checked my Twitter. Finally, after about 20 minutes, Bay came out of the store. “Do you want to go to Starbucks?” I ask pointing at the little corner shop. “Yeah, sure!” She says following me over there. After a long, vigorous day of shopping, Bay and I pulled into Nando’s where we were meeting the boys for dinner.

                    As I parked my car, I saw Harry standing by the entrance, wearing a Jack Wills hoodie and sunglasses. “Ari! Bay!” Harry says giving us each a big hug. “Harry!” I reply smiling. He smiles cheekily at me before asking “How was shopping?” “It was great, I got you something!” I say as he hold the restaurant door open for Bay and I. “Oh really?” He asks raising an eyebrow. “Yeah, you’ll love it I say as I follow him to our table where the rest of the boys were already seated. “So what was the meeting about?” Bay asked as she sat down next to Niall. “Well… we’re going on tour!” They all exclaim, big smiles appearing on their faces. “That’s wonderful!” We say excited for them, but sad they’re leaving. “Yeah, and do you want to know the best part!?” Harry says grabbing my hand below the table. “What?” I ask. “You and Bay get to come with us!” “I don’t know Harry.” I say. “Oh come on Ari.” Everyone says pouting. “I don’t want to get all that publicity and have people never leave me alone. I say slumping into the chair. “Ari, we’ll all keep you safe. We have Paul to protect you also. And I can’t stay away from you for that long! I’d miss you way too much.”  Harry says looking into my eyes and squeezing my hand. “Okay! I’m in! When do we leave?” I ask looking around at the boys. “The bus leaves next Thursday at 10 AM.” Zayn replies. “Ugh, that’s so early!” Bay whines resting her head on the table. “I’ll carry you to the bus babe. You can sleep in.” Niall says looking at Bay and moving a curl out of her face. She looks down smiling and her cheeks turn a rosy pink. I could tell they’d be a couple within the next week. They really like each other you can see it in their eyes and the way that they look at each other.

           ----As Harry and I drove back to the flat, I looked out the window daydreaming. “So, are you excited for the tour?” Harry asks taking the slip road. “I don’t know Harry.” “Oh come on love, it will be fun I promise you. And about the publicity, well people are going to know you either way Ari.” “Yeah, but I’m not a big fan of how the paparazzi constantly stalk people.” “It’s not that bad and they only find us at airports and before shows and stuff. I’ll stay close during the times they’re there to keep you safe. “Promise” I ask. “Pinkie promise” He says taking one hand off the wheel and holding out his pinkie. We loop pinkies and I smile looking out the window again. Maybe the whole touring the world thing wouldn’t be so bad. What’s the worst that could happen? As soon as we get inside, I head to the bedroom and change into my pajamas; I crawl into the nice, comfy, warm bed and fall fast asleep.
