After hours of the Christmas shopping trip with Ana, I put my phone on the charger and jump into bed. It's only six pm on a Monday but I'm exhausted.

My phone begins to ring from the night stand as I click the answer button before looking to even see who it was.

"Hello?"

"Lia?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"Harry."

"Oh, hi." I unexpectedly greet. I didn't think that this would be Harry on the other line.

"Hi, how are you?" He asks.

"I'm exhausted actually. How are you?" I reply.

"Why are you exhausted?" He asks another question.

"I've been Christmas shopping all day," I sigh.

"Oh, wanna go again?"

"Huh?" I ask confused.

"With me?"

"You want me to go Christmas shopping with you?"

"Yeah."

"Now?" I ask and he replies with the same answer as before. I agree to go shopping with him and I have no idea why considering I feel like I could pass out any minute but yet I'm going with him..

An hour later I'm sitting at a table in the food court in the mall with a tray full of Chinese food and a curly haired boy sitting across from me stuffing his face.

"Thank you for coming with me," He says kindly as he puts his plastic fork into his mouth. I nod and say "You're welcome."

"So who are you shopping for?" I ask as I bite into my chicken covered in sweet and sour sauce.

"My sister actually. She's a real pain to shop for," He chuckles lightly and I join in.

"Mine is too. She's always wanting the most expensive things, it can get annoying. She's the type to follow with all of the trends. And she gets all these magazines sent to our house that have fashion updates on them every month."

"Wow, she sounds like a real fashionista," He laughs and I smile.

"What about your sister? What is she like?" I question, wanting to know more about his family since we're on the topic.

"Well, she's really into photography. She likes a lot of art and film, we kind of have that in common actually. She collects a lot of camera's and takes a lot of pictures of pretty much everything. You should see her bedroom," He smiles and rolls his eyes.

"That sounds pretty cool actually. We have two complete opposite sisters," I laugh lightly as does he.

After the food court, Harry and I walk into a few stores together as we end up in one of the vintage shops located in the mall. "This is one of my favorite places to go to." I look up at him. Harry's a lot taller than I remember from seeing him at the party.

"Mine too. I could spend hours in here," He says with a smile

As we walk in, the guy standing at the counter says to Harry. "Hey, Styles. Didn't know you were coming in today?"

"Oh, I'm not. Just taking the lovely lady to her favorite shop." He smiles at him as I watch the two.

"Ahh, I see. Well, hello. I'm Liam." He greets me kindly.

"I'm Lia," I return the smile.

"Lia and Liam.." He nods his head multiple times as Harry waves him off and we begin walking to the section filled with posters. "They update these posters so often." I say as Harry begins looking through them with me.

We walk around the store some more before I finally realize, I've seen it all too often and there's nothing new here other than the posters I'm not interested in buying. "See you tomorrow, mate." Harry waves goodbye to Liam. "Nice meeting you," I say to Liam as he says the same as well and Harry and I walk out of the store.

..

I walk through the large class doors and out of the mall that Harry was holding open for me. I fold my arms over my chest to try to get more warmth but the wind decides otherwise as a huge quick wind comes through.

Harry and I walk out into the parking lot to our cars that are parked right next to one another. Harry stands beside my drivers door and says. "I had fun, lets do it again." and opens my door.

"We might," I smile.

"We will." He smirks.

"Thank you. It was fun," I say and sit in my car. I quickly push the key into the ignition and wait for it to warm up.

"Not a problem at all, love. Drive safe."

"You too."

And with that, I drive out  of the parking lot and am on my way home..
