>> you left me in the hallway <<

[ANGEL]

My eyes slowly open as I finally wake up still unaware of what happened last night. Still lying down, I realize that I'm not in my room but one that I can't recognize. Nervousness causes me to quickly sit up and as I do my legs feel sore and I gasp at the pain. I look down to find that I'm completely naked besides a silk duvet that's covering me.

Memories from the night before start flooding my mind. Shit. I look up to find Harry sitting at the foot of the bed with his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. He was shirtless but wearing some grey sweatpants from what I could see. I was afraid to say anything, even move, though the silence was now killing me.

I continued to stare at him, neither one of us moving, only our breathing can be heard until he speaks up.

"What happened last night, was a mistake." his voice was laced with regret but it was quiet.

I felt my heart drop a bit at his words even though I definitely didn't want to be affected by this. I only nod my head even though I know he can't see me. I start batting my eyes when I feel tears threatening to leave.

He stands up and without giving me any type of attention just walks into his bathroom that's connected to his bedroom. He disappears and soon I can hear the shower start to run. I take this as my sign to leave so I get out of the bed and begin to pick my clothes off the ground.

My movements are very slowly as I'm still wincing and struggling to walk from how sore I am. I gather my clothing and begin to dress myself, feeling almost numb.

Why is this affecting me so much? Why does he have this weird control over me? The questions were repeating in my head as I was desperate for answers I knew I would probably never get. I was taking my time dressing myself while I continued thinking about last nights events and his reaction this morning. He didn't seem regretful last night...

The water stops running and soon anger starts to fill me. I turn my head when he walks back into the bedroom with a white towel hanging on his hips, below his v - line. He glances at me and sighs.

"I thought you would've left by now." he says coldly and that only fuels my anger more. He turns around with his back now facing me as he starts going through his drawers. I take this chance to walk up behind him but before I'm able to go any further he spins around and corners me.

"What do you think you're doing?" Another one of his famous smirks starts forming on his face. That stupid little smirk that irks me sometimes.

"How dare you take advantage of me like that and then decide to be cold about it and say it was a mistake? Even though I now agree, it was a mistake and definitely shouldn't have happened! What's wrong with you?" I punch his chest but he doesn't even flinch. His smirk drops and his eyes go a shade darker again. He forcefully grabs my wrists and pins my arms above my head again.

"Don't you dare speak to me like that again! As of what happened last night, I'm glad we can both agree it was a mistake and don't try to make me seem like the bad guy because I don't remember you doing anything to stop me." His voice was menacing, only frustrating me more and bring tears to the brim of my eyes.

He brought his face lower, only inches away from mine, "Don't deny you didn't like it, Angel." His voice was husky and I had to close my eyes to keep me from drowning in his green ones. Thankfully there was a knock at the door that made Harry turn his head and let go of me where I almost fell and lost my balance.

"Harry? You have a visitor." Johanna's sweet voice echoed from outside the door. I rushed to the door before Harry could say anything and swung it open to reveal a confused Johanna when she saw me get out of Harry's room.

"Angel?" she asked. I went to her side as she place her hand on my back to give me comfort. Johanna looked back up at Harry who was standing at the door frame but we're all soon distracted at the sound of heels clicking against the floor.

A beautiful blonde lady with enchanting hazel eyes and a tight navy blue dress starts making her way towards Harry. Johanna and I stand aside as we watch the two of them.

"Good morning , Mr. Styles. I was going to take on your invitation last night but got caught up at the office so I thought I'd pay you a visit this morning... if it's not a problem." She was acting all flirty towards him and he was completely into it, just letting his eyes roam her body.

"Of course, perfect timing." He placed his hand on her lower back and directed her into his bedroom. Before closing the door he glanced at me and threw me a wink.

[UNKNOWN]

I speed away from the house to make sure I don't get caught. As I'm driving I pick up my phone and start dialing a number in hopes that he picks up. After a couple rings I'm about to hang up when I hear a voice at the other end.

"Hello?" His deep voice says.

"Mr. Payne? I know you told me not to, but I drove to Harry's house anyway. Before you get all worked up, I didn't get caught and luckily he wasn't home."

"Ugh. You're lucky he wasn't. Next time actually pay attention to my orders and don't go near his house again. We can't risk getting caught, do you have any idea what that could do to our company?" He's practically yelling at me through the phone and I decide it better to just go with it then fight against him.

"Yes, Mr. Payne. Sorry sir." I quickly hang up and drive towards Malik & Payne Inc.
