What can I get for you?

Some several years later...

You have matured into a beautiful woman, age 19. You have managed to set up a bakery with the help of Harry's family and have managed to make your own path into the world. Now, you are a successful owner of a very popular bakery in London. You sell all types of bread and cakes, pies and cookies. In addition, you are credited for setting up a bakery that also sells sweets and has the option of dining in. The numerous jars of sweets entice the kids, who run into your shop everyday, their money in their clammy hands. Many customers, including the elderly, stroll into your shop, ordering cups of tea, coffee and smoothies. They buy scones to eat, cookies for snacks and cakes for desert. You learn to strike up a conversation with many customers and even memorize their usual orders so as to make transaction easier. And it doesn't end there. You donate food to the needy regularly, giving them freshly baked food everyday. You allow them to come inside and give them free drinks and food, chatting with them while serving other customers.

The place you have created is described as a haven. A place which immediately puts people into a good mood. Whenever you read the positive comments left by others, you can't help but smile. 

You look around you, past the cabinets filled with jars of mixed and separated sweets, past the cleaned, gleaming tables with vases of flowers on them, past the bookshelves, where people can borrow and exchange books, and music player (you play One Direction songs of course), past the display of pastries. You smile contentedly, then yawn. After all, you have to wake up early in the morning to bake all those goods.

The one thing that saddens you, despite all that you have now is that you haven't seen Harry again since that fateful day and your conversations with each other has decreased due to his busy schedule. However,  you've kept your promise and have been rooting for him continuously.  You even brought tickets to watch their concert. During the concert, you could have sworn that your eyes met but there was no flash of a smile, no wink, no wave, nothing that Harry would do to acknowledge you... Maybe you were mistaken?

Of course, the news of One Direction going on a hiatus broke your heart. You were devastated but prayed that this would mean that you could get to see Harry again. Especially since your company has grown in recognition as one of the best Bakeries in the whole of London. He did say he would find a way to meet you again... Was this not a good way to do it?  No such luck though...

Now, Harry is known as many things, including best pop singer, but he will always be known as the guy who saved your life, and who made you feel needed. You follow him (and the rest of One Direction) on social media and crack a smile whenever you see what he's posted. 

When will you see him again? you wonder as you open the bakery and start to tidy up the stack of teacups that look as if they are about to drop and break.

Lost in your thoughts, you don't realise that customers are queueing up impatiently in the now-opened bakery until you hear a small coughing sound.

"Sorry 'bout that! Good morning, what can I get for you today?" you ask, busy tidying up the stack of teacups .

"No worries, can I have a lava cake and tea please" comes the answer in a familiar voice.

You look up, startled and almost drop the teacups.

"Har... Harry?" you stutter in disbelief.

"Y/n!" he says smiling.

"I-" just as you are trying to find the right words, a customer blurts out "I'm terribly sorry to interrupt this conversation, but can you please deal with my orders first? I must rush off to work soon!"

You blush, looking apologetically at Harry.

He smiles, shaking his head in reply. With the grace that you wish you had, he casually sits on one of the stools near the counter and you understand his meaning.

To you, the day has never dragged by longer. Harry sits there patiently while you deal with customers and soothe their ruffled feathers.
