Cait's POV

The gig finished, with an encore where Harry and I screamed our hearts out to Chocolate.

"That was.." I shake my head. "Amazing. Thank you so much Harry." I hug him.

"Don't thank me just yet, we get to meet them."

We were lead to a room and were told to wait as they were just having a quick drink.

Matty walked in followed by the other members.

"Harry!" He smiled giving Harry a manly hug.

"You alright mate?"

"I'm good, I'm good."

"This is my friend Cait."

"Wow, you're beautiful. Nice to meet you Cait, Matty."

I blush. "Nice to meet you too."

"Enjoy the show?"

I smile at Harry before I nod. "Amazing."

"Favourite song?"

"Falling for you, and obviously Chocolate."

"Classic."

"Where you off to next?" Harry asks sensing the end of our short conversation.

"I'm actually off tomorrow, then heading to New York."

"Love New York." Harry comments.

"Are you here with the band or?.."

Harry shakes his head, "I have a place here, we're on break from tour so I decided to come out for a bit and Cait joined me."

"Nice, enjoying LA? He asks.

"Loved it." I grin. "And especially now I've seen you guys."

"I'll have to sort you some more tickets out, come see us and hang out with me in London."

Harry coughs awkwardly, I frown at him before answering. "That would be awesome."

"Are you two..?" Matty makes a gesture between us.

I get what he's hinting at. "Oh no, just friends." I reply.

Harry nods, his lip between his fingers.

"Oh, okay. Would it be okay then if I asked for your number?"

I nod. "Um, sure."

He hands me his phone and I put my number in.

We talk with the rest of the band before I ask Matt for a photo that Harry kindly takes.

Harry smirked as he watch me post my photo to Instagram as we walked back to the car.

"That was the best night, thanks Harry." I give him a side hug before we disappear to our sides of the car.

"It's okay." He starts the car and we drive the entire way back to Harry's in silence with just the murmur of the radio.

I sigh as we walk in, Harry sets his keys down and takes off his boots.

"You okay?" I frown. He seemed different somehow.

"I'm.. yeah. I'm fine."

"Come on Harry, tell me." I take off my shoes and place them neatly on the shoe rack. I set my bag down and take the hair tie off my wrist and wrap my hair in a random and probably unattractive messy bun.

"You gave Matt your number."

I nod folding my arms. "I did."

"What does that mean?"

I frown walking closer to him. He turns the kitchen lights on and grabs himself some water.

"It doesn't really mean anything. It would be cool if I hung out with him some time."

"He's not such a great guy you know. His reputation isn't squeaky clean."

"Neithers yours." I retaliate.

Harry is silent. "I don't know who or what you're talking about, I bet half of the photos you've seen of me with girls are made to be something they're not."

"So how do you know that all of Matty's are 100% legit?"

"Because I just.. dammit Cait.."

I frown, I was a lot closer to him than expected. His green eyes flashing a million emotions at once.

"What is it Harry?"

"I.."

I swallow waiting for him to say it.

"I, like you Cait. Okay? I like you. And I wanted to ask you on a date and see if we could be together because, I just.. and then you gave Matty your number and it just.. sucks you know?"

"If you wanted to ask me on a date you could have."

He looks at me strangely. "Really?"

"Why are you shocked?" I smirk. "I like you too Harry. You're the sweetest guy in this world. You became my friend so I wasn't lonely, showed me around, found what I liked, supported me with my anxiety, took me in, brought me here.. You have a huge heart."

Harry takes my face in his hands slowly as he leans down, he kisses me gently before pulling away.

Just one kiss, really?

"Will you go on a date with me?" He asks quietly nearly in a whisper.

"Yes, I - i'd love to." I whisper my face still in his hands.

He leans down and kisses me yet again.
