Starting to fold the clothes on the shelves, I hear the song end. Stopping my actions from continuing, I set the clothes down. Walking into the back room to play another song, I choose the song Love The Way You Lie. As I walk back over to the clothes I was just folding, I hear a ring, not thinking anything of it, I just continue my work, now humming the song. About a minute into the folding of clothes, I feel as if a strange presence is watching me. I look up and over to my right. Being astonished of who was standing beside me. Harry Styles......The Harry Styles. Staring at his presence, just benounced of him, I decide to talk .

"Oh my, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you had entered the store Mr. Styles," 

Really Alexis? Mr. Styles?!

"Just let me know if you need any help today."

Oh my god, Alexis, I still cannot believe you said Mr. Styles. What kind of dumbass are you? A dumb one. Oh my god, Alexis, stop making comments.

"Thank you, oh, and call me Harry."

He says. His green eyes of loveliness, piercing through my body like a knife. He turns away.

"Uhmm, what's your name?"

"My name's Alexis."

"Where are the skinny jeans, Alexis?"

"They're over here, I was just folding them not too long ago."

Tapping on his shoulder, he turns around to face me and smiles. The curls sway as he looks at the pants I was pointing to. He walks over, with a gleefull look in his eyes.

"Can you help me figure out what size I am?"

" Sure, let me grab the measure."

Finishing folding the shirt left in my hands, I walk over to the check-out counter and into the drawer. And the next drawer and the next drawer. Where in the world in the measure?

"Uhm, aren't you looking for this?" 

He laughs a little, knowing damn well that was exactly what I was looking for. I smile, walking back over to him, walking back over to him, with a small pep in my step. My black skirt swaying. Harry looks down at my legs, skirt, blouse, then up at my face and smiles. He hands me the measure, and I smile. I take the beginning of the measure and press it against Harry's right hip. I swear I heard him gasp. Oh shut up, won't you brain?!

"Can you hold this here in place?"

" Yeah, sure."

He says. I continued wrapping the measure around Harry's back, walking with the measure. Once the measure had reached the beginning, I checked the measurement, telling Harry the size of his pants.

"Thank you for helping me, Alexis."

Harry replies, I head over to the backroom to play another song, I switch to Pandora. I walk back out to hear the song play. A Bieber song. OMG....Alexis , WHAT DID YOU DO? I go back to the folding of the clothes, moving on to women's underwear. yay.... As I start to work away onto the un-ending pile of clothes, I start to hum to the song, hitting the pitch at a pure level of joy. I smiled.

"Are you humming?" 

Harry asks. Dammit, Alexis, you got caught. Now what are you going to say? Something. OMG, stop that.

"Oh, sorry. I'll stop if you'd like me to."

I spit out, in the nicest way possible. He looks at me with pure, soft lips, nice-long hair, and pretty emerald eyes.

"I'd like you to stop humming."

"Oh."

I say, depressing my happy feeling next to him. He smiles again and for some reason, I could feel the tears prickling. I quickly slide a strand of hair behind my ear, and started walking towards the shelves.

"I actually wanted to you start singing."

He whispered, desperately. He grabs my hands and twirls me around majestically. Singing the words, he gestures for me to sing with him. Me, being the dork - yet somehow super shy, I shrug my shoulders and smile. 

"Oh, come on! I don't care if you sing like a chain smoker. Just sing! "

That was all I needed to begin singing along the words to the secret meaning song, of which most 10-year old girls wouldn't even think twice about. He continues to twirl me around, gracefully. Dancing with me, he'll stop every once in a while to twerk for a moment or two, making me giggle and my face turn as red as an apple. Aaron, his body guard, clears his throat to remind us that he's there. Harry laughs and makes me smile wide. Harry dips me, making me feel weightless like a feather.

"Would you like to go shopping with me?"

He pulls me up and gives me a questioning look. I shrugged my shoulders and bit my lip as he cradled my left cheek in his hand. I looked up at him, with hopefullness, spilling out of my blue eyes.

 "Well, I would love to. When?"

"Well, when do you get off?" 

"I don't get off work until six, sorry."

" Don't be sorry, Alexis. I'll just give you my phone number. Call me after work, yeah?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After what felt like a long time of folding women's panties . Harry was finally ready to purchase the pants he wanted. Me, being the ding-dong in the room, I didn't realise Harry had gone over to the check-out counter. DING, I hear the bell go off. I looked at him with a reserved smile. Scanning the items, I notice Harry looking at me with a glistening stare. I just continued scanning the items.

"Alexis?"

"Yes, Harry?"

"Has anyone ever told you how pretty you are?"

"By anyone? No. By my parents? Yes."

I reply. He laughs, smiling nicely toward me. Just as I scan the last pair of pants, he giggles one last time, pulling his wallet out from Aaron's man-purs, sorry, "satchel".

" 270.71 pounds, please."

He picks through the thick wallet, filled with bills. Picking some out, he tosses them on the counter until I heard a few giggles and screams from outside the door.

" Don't forget to call me!" 

He calls as he runs out, away from the fangirls.
