SHOW ME {H.S}

Chapter 5

Harry's P.O.V

"If you look at page 15 in the papers I just gave you, you can see the logistics calculations in our financial.."

Focus, Harry. It's an important meeting, you'll make a lot of profit if this trade is working..

I look at the pen in my hand that I wiggle back and forth between my fingers, and I completely forget to listen

"Mr. Styles?", my head shoot up when I hear my name and I'm met with.. well.. everyone's eyes

"Mr. Styles, what are your thoughts?", my partner asks, he knows me too well, and he clearly knows I haven't listened

"I think you have some good arguments. Let's all take a break and then we can sum up on everything afterwards?", I ask as I nod slightly as a 'thank you' towards my partner

"That sounds like a good idea, Mr. Styles", Liam, my partner, says and people start to stand up and walk out of the meeting room to get some fresh air

"Let's go for a walk, shall we?", Liam looks at me and we quickly make our way through the glass door and down the hall

"You met someone", Liam says, not looking at me

"No", I shove the hands in my pockets and nod at the secretaries we pass by

"Yes, you're distracted. I've known you for ten years, Harry", he looks at me

"You're right, I met someone", I smile, and he chuckles and elbows me in the side

"Told you. Tell me about her"

"We're friends. But she's sweet, very different from my usual type. But we get along quite well", I say and smile to myself at the thought of her face when she spilled her milkshake on me

"You haven't heard a single word from the meeting", Liam state as we slowly walk back towards the meeting room

"You're right", I smile

"Because you said it was a good idea.. And that shit sucks, but you just gave that man hope", he says and we both laugh at the whole situation

"Say if you need anything. And let me do the talking today", Liam places a hand on my shoulder, and I nod in agreement

The meeting continues for another one and a half hour. As we agreed on, Liam does the talking, and I just zone out for the rest of the meeting.

"Ten minutes, then we have to be in meeting room 364" he says as we walk out and towards our offices

"I'll be there", I say, and we split in different directions to get to our own offices

Just call her, Harry. You're friends, there's nothing weird about that..

I press the call button as I sit down in my chair, feet up on the desk

"Mr. Styles, so glad you called!", Jess says, and I smile at her fake British accent, it's horrible

"Miss Williams! What are you up to?", I ask and try to copy her bad accent, but.. well I'm British, so I sound better than her

"Working, well I have a 10 minute break before going back in", she says and I hear her sigh

"Do you like frozen yoghurt?", I ask and start to correct my tie

"Yes?"

"Then let's get frozen yoghurt later"

"I can't", she suddenly sounds so depressed

"Why?", I feel slightly disappointed

"I'm at work"

"When do you get off?"

"9 pm"

"They close at 10, so it's possible", I suggest

"Ok, but I look like shit. I've been up early and I'm in the middle of a double-shift", she excuses herself and I shake my head at her

"I'm sure you look amazing. Text med the Diner's address, and I'll pick you up", I say, and Liam walk into my office to make sure I'll make it to the next meeting

"I have to go, take care. See you later", and I hang up before she gets the opportunity to answer

"I'm ready", I say and ignore Liam's cheeky smile that tells me he has a lot of questions for me

*

I lock my car and make my way toward the Diner. Thankfully I had time to change into something more comfortable, and I chose beige suit pants and a white t-shirt

I stroll targeted towards the Diner and walk in. It's cozy in here, the atmosphere is good and I can see Em cleaning a few empty tables with her back against me

"Sorry, we're cl..", she stops when she sees me and smile her cute little smile that makes her apple cheeks pop

"Harry, I'm almost done", she says and her small arms hug around me and I return the gesture, feeling the warmth from her tiny frame

"I'll wait, love", I say as I study every move she makes. She's wearing a red apron, and I'm sure it's a bit too big for her. She's wearing a black t-shirt with the Diner's logo, black pants, and a couple of Nike shoes. I believe her hair once was a tight ponytail, but now it's messy and she has baby hairs everywhere. She looks cute.

"I'm done", she says as she takes the apron off and lay it on the table

"Thanks for today!", she yells towards the kitchen and I hear a couple of voices mumble something back

"Sorry if I smell", she excuses herself and I chuckle

"Don't worry", I say and hold the door for her on the way out

"How was your day?", I ask as we walk down the lightened streets

"It was long.. Good, but long. How about yours?", she asks and look up at me

"Long as well", I say and look straight forward as I smile to myself

"You've never told me what you're working with?", she asks curiously

The frozen yoghurt shop. What a shame we're here and I can't answer that question..

"What is your favorite flavor?", I ask her, to change the topic as we walk into the bright store

"Chocolate"

"I really like chocolate", she says and smiles embarrassed up at me

"You sure you like chocolate? Because last time you hated your milkshake so much, that you threw it at me", I say as I walk behind her, filling the cup

"Shut up", she says, and we chuckle

We walk around the store in silence, grabbing everything we can't live without in our frozen yoghurts. She wants to pay, that's cute, but I won't let her – mom taught me that I always have to pay for my date.. well, date-ish.
