Aim ➸ Harry Styles.

Chapter 12. ✿

Khloe’s POV.

I really needed to catch up with Tara. With all the chaos going on, I had to admit, I was pushing her aside and I really do miss all the time we used to spend together. She’s my best friend and I don’t want to neglect her because of a boy.

I grabbed my phone and texted her.

‘Hey T, do you want to go for coffee tonight, catch up a bit?’

I hit send and a few seconds later, Tara’s name popped up on my screen.

‘Sure, I’m really starting to miss you. Come by my house at 7?’

I smiled at my best friend and quickly replied.

‘See you at 7 J’

By the time I sent the text it was already 4:30, so I decided to hop in the shower and relax a bit. I walked into the bathroom, turned the water on so it would heat up and stripped down. When I stepped in the shower, the water felt warm against my skin, and all the thoughts roaming around in my head, seemed to disappear for the time being. Once I rinsed off and stepped out to dry off, I pictured an outfit in my head and when I got out; I put on a pair of light blue jeans, a beige sweater, a beanie and a pair of UGG boots. I curled the ends of my hair and put on some eye liner, along with some lip gloss.

When I was ready, the clock on my bed-side table shown 6:15, so I had a good 45 minutes to get to Tara’s. I decided to call Harry just to let him know, and see what he’s up to.

“Hey babe,” I loved it when he called me ‘babe’, it’s silly, I know but I like it, it makes me feel… special.

“Hey there, how are you doing?” I asked, sitting comfortably on my bed.

“Good, good I just got out of the shower,” I could imagine the smirk on his face right now.

“Me too, I was getting ready to go out with Tara, and since I had nothing to do, I thought I’d give you a call,” that came out very wrong.

“So you only called me because you had nothing better to do?” Thankfully, I could sense a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

“That’s not what I meant. What I meant was that I thought of you while I was getting ready and when I finished, I called you,” that was better, I think.

“That’s better, so where are you going with Tara?”

“We’re just going to a coffee shop; I really need to catch up with her,”

“Do, you want me to drive you?” I knew he was worried, because of what happened last time he left me to walk alone in the dark, but I wanted to show him that I could take care of myself.

“No, it’s ok, it’s not far away, and I can walk,”

“But-“I cut him off; I knew exactly what he was going to say.

“I know what you’re going to say, don’t worry about me, I’ll keep you updated ok?”
