Falling For Him (SPIN OFFS & ONE-SHOTS)

Walking In the Wind

*Vida's POV*

It seems like it's the end of something close to my heart.
Sometimes I'm so lazy that I just feel like living my life just eating pizza every day.
Nah! Mom wouldn't love that part.
"You forgot Ric's birthday?", says Ritu storming into my room.
Ritu, cute, happy, caffeine addict, maybe and obviously, a law student.
"Ritu! I don't even remember to take my multi-vitamin tablet which I've to take every day, how do you think I'll remember your boyfriend's birthday?", I ask.
"Vida, tomorrow when you'll get one, and I'll forget his birthday, then I'll see what you'll do", says Ritu.
I roll my eyes and say "okay"
"So what's the plan for tomorrow?", asks Ritu.
"Nothing, going to studio", I say.
"Really?", asks Ritu.
"Yeah, it's for my next concept", I say.
"So who is getting you that project?", asks Ritu.
" Andrew", I say.
"Best of luck", says Ritu.
"Thanks", I say.
"Let's go out for dinner", says Ritu.
"With you and Ric? No thanks", I say.
"No, with everyone as well", says Ritu.
"Why do hate Ric?", asks Ritu.
"I don't hate him, I just forgot his birthday and I hate third-wheeling", I say.
"Fine", says Ritu.
"What's up with you, tomorrow?", I ask.
"Well! I have got a mock test, apart from that, I'm free", says Ritu.
"Great! Because Harry's coming home", I say.
"Harry? No, please", says Ritu.
"I can't handle him", says Ritu.
"Hey, he's my favourite cousin", I say.
"Why are you so close to him, out of everyone?", asks Ritu frustratedly.
"I don't know", I say.
"I'll call your Mom", says Ritu.
"Really? If you call Mom and tell Harry is here, your parents will get to know about Ric", I say.
"No, you won't tell them", says Ritu.
"Good, so welcome Harry with a smile", I say.
"You know, sometimes, I hate you", says Ritu.
"Yeah I know", I say.

The next day, my cousin, my best friend, Harry Styles entered my house.
"Vidaaaaaa", he says hugging me.
"Hazzaa", I say hugging him.
"I'm so happy, you're here", I say.
"I know, me too", says Harry.
Ritu clears her throat.
Harry turns towards her.
"Rituuuu! Oh my god! I missed you so much", he says.
"I didn't", she says.
Harry laughs.
Ritu gives him a sarcastic smile.
"Okay, I gotta go to work, you guys have fun, I'll see you at dinner", I say.
"Yesss", says Harry.
"Oh, Vida, don't forget, dinner at our place", says Harry.
"I won't, I'll be there", I say.
"So Ritu, let's just change your haircut, this is too boring", says Harry.
I laugh and close the door.

As soon as I reach my studio, I sigh.
I walk in and see, someone waiting for me.
Oh my gosh.
What is he doing here?
"Ah! Finally, you decided to show up", says Louis.
He looked annoyed.
"Sorry, I know I am late", I say.
"That's an everyday thing", says Louis.
"Listen, I'm sorry, Harry showed up this morning", I say.
"He's back?", asks Louis.
"Listen, the wedding we shot last month, Andrew, asked us to give it for print today, so I'm going the printers and you, handle, Mr Horan", says Louis.
"The investor?", I ask.
"Yes, he's coming today, to check how are things", says Louis.
"Why did you come here today?", I ask Louis.
"Listen, this meeting is important for us, okay, I've come to tell you that whatever we started, it will come to an end, if Horan doesn't like it, you've to convince him, to keep investing, okay?", asks Louis.
"Vida, you're great, at what you do, but from the last few weeks you've been nothing, but a lazy person, what's wrong with you? You've got so much to do, why are you so demotivated?", asks Louis.
"I just-", I say.
"Lost it after that meeting, that happened", I say.
"Listen, if you don't impress him, this company will shut down and I'll walk out on you", says Louis.
"You know what Louis, you've been a jerk, from the last month, being a jerk won't bring back Summer", I say.
"Shut up, don't say that", says Louis.
"Then, stop being a jerk to me, I'm your friend, your partner", I say.
"Fine. I'm sorry", says Louis.
"And I won't walk out on you. You know I can't", he says.
He comes and hugs me.
I hug him back.
"When's the next shoot?", he asks
"Ah! Monday, depending on who shows up today", I say.
"How does Mr Horan look?", I ask.
"He'll be the only one coming in shorts, he's weird, you'll get to know when you see him", says Louis.
"Okay", I say.
"Great, I gotta go for the prints, I'll see you at dinner", says Louis.
"Okay", I say.
"Remember, impress Horan", says Louis.
"Okay", I say.
"Good luck", says Louis.
"Yes. Good luck to me too", I say.
