PARTNERS // HARRY STYLES AU

Chapter 1

// Taylor's POV //

I'm already late for the party that the company I'm working at is hosting. My boss will tell me who I'm going to work with on my new project.

I wore black skinny jeans, a striped shirt, and my brown chelsea boots.

I quickly took my leather jacket from my coat hanger and rushed out of my condo.

I got in my car and headed straight to the venue.

It was a twenty minute drive so I was a bit faster than the speed limit. Did I mention I was supposed to give the welcoming speech? I don't know why my boss picked me, but I agreed anyway.

I was like ten minutes away when a car is about to overtake. It looks like it's about to hit me, so I turned the wheel to the other way and landed to a pool of...mud?

My car is covered in mud. The car that I just bought a week ago. My baby. I'm really careful with my baby. I don't let anyone touch it unless I told them to.

I'm furious. I just had it washed. The windows are covered with mud. Whoever's the jerk that tried to overtake me is going to pay.

// Harry's POV//

I'm already late for the party that I'm attending to. I don't get why the other boys are okay to not go. Management said it was for promotion. We are releasing our new album this November, and they said it would be helpful.

I wore black skinny jeans, a black shirt, and my brown boots.

I quickly made my way to my car.

A really fast car just passed me. I can see from afar that she's a girl. Woah, for a girl she's a really fast driver. She must be late for something. She's going where I'm exactly heading. Maybe we're attending the same event.

I tried to go faster, but it looks like she's going even faster. I stepped on the gas and overtook. She must've noticed and quickly went the other way. I was about to hit her car, good thing she did that.

I saw her crash in a pool of mud? Where the heck did the mud come from?

I saw her get out of the car and gobsmocked. It looks like she can't believe what she's seeing. Her car did look new and is now covered in mud. Yikes.

"Hey you!"

// Taylor's POV //

I saw the car that overtook stopped. Good thing he didn't just 'hit and run'.

"Hey you!" I called the driver that almost attacked me.

He got out of the car and walked towards me. He has long curly hair. He's really tall too. He looks familiar.

"What's the matter?" he asked in a British tone.

Is he serious?!

"What do you mean, 'What's the matter?' Look at my car! This is your fault! Now I can't go to the party I'm supposed to be attending to!"

"Look, I'm sorry for what happened. I was just really late for an event. What party are you heading to? It looks like we're going in one direction. (A/N: pun not intended.) Maybe I can give you a ride."

"How can you be so chill about all this? You caused it and you're going to pay!" I yelled at him.

"Miss, I said I'm sorry. I'll give you a ride and we can pretend that none of this happened." he looks sincere.

I thought about it, "In one condition."

// Harry's POV //

"In one condition." I groaned.

"What is it?"

She thought about it for a second and looked at her car. My eyes widen.

"No. I won't do it." There's no way I'm doing what she's thinking.

"Oh yes. "

"No."

"You have to wash my car."

"Are you serious? Do you know who I am?"

Then it clicked. He's that guy from the famous band; One Direction. He's Harry Styles.

"Yeah I know who you are.  Also, I don't care if you're a celebrity.  And besides, we won't have to talk to each other once you've finished." I stared at her for a minute.

"Fine. I'll wash your stupid car."

"Good. I'll have someone drop it off at my place and you can go there first thing tomorrow." she said.

I rolled my eyes.

"Shall we go then?" I asked impatiently.

"Oh right! I'm so late!"

We got into my car and buckled up.

"So where's the party you're going to? And it must be near hear as I'm going to a party too and I'm also late."

"It's somewhere in Hollywood.  A bar beside the restaurant that just opened. I'm sure everyone knows that."

"Yeah I know where it is. That's where I'm headed too." I told her and she looked at me with wide eyes.

"What?" I asked her.

"Nothing. Just drive!"

A/N: Tell me what you think :)
