The next morning I was sitting downstairs,drinking my tea and reading the newspapers,waiting for my mother to join me.
“Are you excited for today,miss Monique?”Laya asked,pouring me another cup of tea.
“Of course I am.It’s a big day for me and my career.It’s a new beginni-“
“Good morning.”My mom announced smiling.
“Oh wow.If it’s not the one and only sleeping beauty.”I teased and she smiled and got her tongue out.Mature.
“Laya,coffee please.”She snapped her fingers and Laya nodded and disappeared in the kitchen.
“By the way,Harry just called.He’s picking you up.”Well if things couldn’t go more perfect than that.
“I hate him.”I stated smiling.”And I hate you for making me do this.”I said standing up and going in my room to dress.
-
“Miss Monique.”Laya knocked on my door.
“Come in.”I said while applying a matte red lipstick.
“Mister Styles is here to pick you up.You mother whispered in me ear to play nice with Mister Styles.”It amused me how she still didn’t know the whole English language.
“Okay,I’m coming.”I sighed,took my bag and went downstairs.
Right on cue,there was Harry,sitting down in my living room,talking and laughing with my mom.
“Can we go?I don’t have the whole day.”I rolled my eyes as they both stopped from laughing.Once Harry saw me,he smirked and checked me out from head to toe,just like he did the other night.Well this is going to be an interesting future for me.
“Hello to you too,Monique.”His thin,perfect accent echoed in my ears like a symphony.
“Can we just go?I can’t wait for this day to end.”I rolled my eyes and my mom cleared her throat,giving me the look.”I mean,uh,yeah,hello Harry.”I faked my best smile and my mother smiled too and nodded,while he just smirked.
Did he ever wear a normal smile?Like..a true smile?
“Okay you two can go now.”My mom said standing up as the curly jerk did too.”I have to meet Elizabeth for lunch and after this we’re having dinner at her place.Harry,you’re invited too,if you’re willing to come join us.”My mom smiled as so did he.
He looked at me and I widened my eyes,shaking my head ‘no’ as slow as possible until he smirked and opened his mouth.”Of course.I’d love to be there.”He flashed his pearly smile and my mom cheered happily.All I did was roll my eyes.I really have to control my anger because this is becoming a habit of mine and I really don’t like it.
“Perfect.Monique,they will have guests.I guess it’s Eizabeth’s new boyfriend we’re talking about,so I need you to dress formally and respectable.”
“Don’t I always,mother?”I smiled and she smiled back and nodded.
“Juliet,it was a pleasure to see you.”Harry cleared his throat and kissed her hand.
“Harry,always a gentleman.”She smiled and nodded.Harry?Gentleman?Do not roll your eyes.Do not roll your eyes.Do not roll your eye-Too late.
I turned on my heels and got in the elevator,pressing the button.I really hoped that he’d stay there a little longer,but I didn’t even finish my thought because there he was,next to me,in my tiny,little,elevator.
I turned to him and punched him in the shoulder.”What was that for?”He asked frowning,as he dragged his hand to his shoulder to rub it.
“You kissed her hand?Really?”I huffed and he smiled.
