"I don't know." I said to my best friend Elle.

"Please Zoe. You need to get out. Its been months since-" I cut her off.

"Don't even say his name."

Elle sighed before continuing on trying to get me to go to a new club that just opened in downtown London. "Look, one night, one club and I won't say another word about it."

I groaned. "Fine."

"Great! I'll be at yours around 6. We can start getting ready around 7?"

"Alright Elle. I'll have food if you supply me with a dress."

Elle and I said our goodbyes before ending the telephone call. 

I glanced over at the clock on the wall opposite I was sitting. Seeing it was only half twelve, I decided a nap would be a good idea. 

 *****************************************************************************

"You've gone absolutely bonkers Elle."  I said looking at the dress she had brought for me to wear. 

"But you promised!" She whines at my while I stare at the dress.

It was a little black dress, covered in lace. It was extremly gorgeous but would only come to right under my butt.

"I'm only doing this for you." I muttered, snatching the dress from Elle. 

She yelled a thank you as I slammed the bathroom door so I could begin getting ready.

After slipping into the dress, I put my hair in loose curls and applied heavier makeup then I normally would. 

I looked in the mirror. That hour was definetly worth it. 

For my makeup, I had a normal smokeye with a little flare from the silver glitter I spread through out it. My lips were smothered in red lipstick and on my pale cheeks was a touch of a rosy pink blush.

I looked good. 

Elle was sitting on my bed, looking flawless as ever. Her focus was on her phone and her fingers were moving at lighting speed. She must have been texting her boyfriend of three years, Marcus. 

I cleared my throat to get the petite blond girl's attention. Elle's eyes snapped up from her phone and her jaw dropped. 

"Damn Zoe. You look amazing."

I laughed, grabbing my red heels from my closet. They were the final touch on my outfit seeing as I had small diamond earrings on already. 

"Elle where did you find this dress? Because I must admit, I loook pretty damn good in it."

"I had it from a few years ago. I never wore it because it didn't look quite right on me. Looks like its found a home with you though."

"I don't want to steal your dress though!" I said.

She chauffed. "That's ridiculous. It looks ten times better on you than it ever did on me."

"Alright. We better leave if we ever want to get into the club." She glanced at her phone before nodding in agreement.

Harry's POV

I ordered another round of shots for me and the lads before leaning back against the bar. No girls had really caught my interest tonight. I wasn't even really in a party mood but the boys wanted to come to the club so I agreed, 

The bartender placed the five shots on the counter. I thanked him and picked up the small glasses filled with clear liquid. 

On the short walk from the bar to the VIP section, I spotted a rather tall girl entering the club. I slammed the shots on the table before turning to head towards the brunette. 

"Well hello." I said as I slid next to her on a bar stool.

She turned to me and she was even more stunning then I originally thought. She had small features and her eyes were a shocking blue green. "Before you hit on me, just know I will not have sex with you tonight."

I grinned at her. "Not the intention doll." 

"Well then how can I help you Mr. Styles?" She asked rest her face on her hand.

"So you know who I am."

She let out a small chuckle. "How could I not. Your face is plastered everywhere and you have quite the reputation."

"That I do, but all that matters right now is you and your name love"

"If you must know, it's Zoe."

"Well Zoe," I paused giving her a small smile "let me buy you a drink."

She taps her chin as if she's thinking about this. "As long as you know I won't have sex with you, I guess it's okay." A smile streches on her face ffrom ear to ear. Damn she's gorgeous.

I tap the bar to get the bartenders attention and tell him to put Zoe's drink on my tab.

"Of course Mr. Styles." He nods before rushing to fix her drink.

"Is this what you do with all of your girls Mr. Styles?" Zoe asks slyly, crossing her right leg over her left.

Winking at her, I give her a response. "Only the pretty ones." 

"Of course."  She laughs.  Its rather majestic but it suits her. 

Zoe and I sit at the bar for a good two hours, making simple conversation. I find she's nineteen and aa photographer at a nearby studio. I tell her about the new album coming out soon.

Our conversation is interupted when a blonde walks up and whispers something in her ear. Zoe turns to her and nods. 

"I'm sorry Zo." The blond girl says.

"Don't worry Elle. I can get a cab home." Zoe says shaking 

I interject. "The lads and i can rop you on our way back to our flats."

Zoe turns back to me. "Are you sure Harry?"

I shrug. "The lads won't mind. Thy might tease you a bit but they're harmless."

Zoe's friend, who's named Elle, nods before rushing away.

"Why don't we go back to the VIP section. You can meet the rest of the band and we can get ready to go." 

Zo nods, finishing off her third drink of the ngiht before standing up.  In the red heels she's wearing, shes about five foot eleven. (180 cm for any one wondering. ;)) I offer her my hand and we make our way back to where the lads were when I left them almost three hours ago.

"Lads, this is Zoe." I say after clearing my throat to get their attention. They look up and all of their jaws drop.
