**HARRYS POV**
So I had to admit that I was a bit nervous to meet this girl. Zayn had surprised me with this this morning and I was a bit skeptical. Until I saw her.
I thought Reyna was pretty. Perfect for Zayn. But Riya was beyond that. It was her smile and the way she laughed and her complete nervousness around me.
She was adorable.
**RIYAS POV**
I was all jitters and then my heart stopped and then picked up double time. I couldn't even believe my eyes. I couldn't believe that Harry Styles was smiling at me like that. If I died right now, well, that would be ok. And you know that feeling when you look at someone and the last thing you wanted to do was look away? Yeah, that was my life right there.
**HARRYS POV**
I tried to get to know everything about her as possible. I found out that she was an only child and that she was camera shy. Cameras flashed and she blinked almost every time.
“Just ignore them. And smile." I comforted her, holding her arm closer.
I took her inside a large store that seemed promising.
“Pick anything you like." I told her.
**RIYAS POV**
Anything I wanted in a Prada store?
I stare at him hesitantly.
“Im serious. Anything." He urged.
I sighed. How could it get any better than this?
“Then come help me." I told him.
Most of them were outrageously expensive so I set those aside and went to the other side of the store.
He wasn't very helpful.
“You look amazing in all of them. I just can’t decide!" He threw his hands up in the air.
We ended up choosing a knee length bandeau dress.
Harry eyed the zipper going down the back of the dress and we both laughed.
“So after tonight, one of the bands good friends, Simran is flying in just for tomorrow. You should come to meet her. Shes absolutely amazing. You and Reyna would get along with her. Shes crazy though."
I immediately nodded. The way he talked about her was cute. Like he'd known her forever.
**HARRYS POV**
Later on that night, we went to dinner. Which was just habitual. It was mainly only for the press. We had to show them all we could clean up and behave. Though we managed to have fun through everything. We laughed and Niall was upset about the portioning size, which was no surprise. But I couldn't take my eyes off of Riya. I usually wasn't like this. Usually, I liked the drama free, one time relationship but I didn’t want that for Riya. She needed more respect than that. She deserved the best. And thats exactly what I wanted to be for her.
**RIYAS POV**
After making toasts and finishing up dinner, we all decide to go out for drinks, which I was all for. We both started drinking immediately. Just having fun. We sat at the bar and then Reyna and Zayn sat with us. Totally sober.
I excused myself to go to the bathroom. I squeezed my way through a lot of people to find the restrooms in the back but somebody stopped me short.
“Hey. Do you want to have a couple drinks with me?" He asked, his british speaking slurred. And his eyes glossy.
“No. Im already here with someone else." I said quickly as I continued to push. But he stopped me again, this time to grab my arm.
“Then he shouldn't have left you alone." He spun me and covered my mouth as he swiftly maneuvered me outside of the club. Once we got outside, I began to really panic. My heart was racing and all I could think to do was bite the hand that was covering my mouth. Once he removed his hand and cursed, I screamed as loud as I possibly could. But he didn’t like that too much. So he continued dragging me along with him, despite my constant pulling and begging.
The next thing I knew, I was being slammed to a wall.
**HARRYS POV***
You have got to be kidding me. The cold breeze outside didn’t ease my tension. I searched and ran like a madman trying to find her. She was so small. How could I have let this happen to her? Then I heard one of them find her. I immediately ran to her and pushed the man off of her. I couldn't even tell what I was saying. But I was angry. Seething. The guy was clearly on something. So he pulled out a little boy scout knife on me and I tried not to laugh as I egged him on to try to cut me. Then there were arms around me like chains, pulling me back. Their reassuring words didn’t help either.
Well, it didn’t help until I saw her face.
**RIYAS POV**
Every time he rubbed the anti oxidant on my large gash, I winced. But he looked up at me with those eyes every time I did. I couldn't take that expression so I had to stop reacting to the pain. For him. We were all very tired and Liam said it was 2:13.
The other guys went to their own flats so it was just Zayn, Reyna, Harry and I.
They suggested that we changed and crashed here. I was too mentally tired to think otherwise.
Harry had his hand ok the small of my back as he led me up the stairs after we had said goodnight.
Once he opened the door to his flat, he grabbed me into an unexpected hug. And then at that point, all I could do was cry.
“Im so sorry I let this happen to you. This is all my fault." He said rubbing my back. “Don’t cry." He pleaded as he pulled away and pressed his lips to my forehead. “Come on, lets get you something to wear."
He held my hand as he pulled me along the end of the hallway. He let me have some plaid pajama pants and a loose shirt. I took them willingly while removing my heels that I hadn't noticed were hurting my feet now.
“Can you unclip the top of my dress?" I asked. I couldn't reach it, yet it was exactly what he wanted.
“Of course." He said, with a devilish look in his eyes. I laughed as he unclipped it and just unzipped a little bit of it.
“Why thank you." I said, a smile on my lips.
I went into the bathroom after that and slipped out of my dress and put on his clothes. I was completely comfortable. I came out of the bathroom and he matched me. With the plaid pj and loose shirt.
“Well don’t we look cute." I said.
“You- look beautiful."
“Even with my hair in a bun and in your clothes?" I asked skeptically.
“Especially with your hair in a bun and in my clothes." He said coming close to me. We walked over to the couch and he turned on the tv for me and went to the kitchen where I heard his clattering.
“What are you doing?" I asked. Then he walked in with two or three bowls of chips in his hands and a bag in his mouth.
He set them all at the table in front of us and sat next to me. We put the blanket on us and he put a chocolate chip cookie in my mouth.
“This is a lot more romantic than that dinner." He said, laughing at me while I was chewing on that enormous cookie.
**HARRYS POV**
The night was perfect for me. We talked and ate and watched tv until she rested her head on my lap and eventually fell asleep. I brushed her hair away from her face while she slept. She looked like an angel and I couldn't find myself to fall asleep. I just wanted to look at her all night.
