A One Direction Tea Party

Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight

“I still hate you” I said as I fixed myself up in the toilet mirror. Harry chuckled and wound his arms around my waist, “Yeah whatever” and he kissed my neck. I turned around, his hands remained on my hips, occasionally pulling me towards him. “No seriously Harry, you were asshole to me” he cheekily grinned at me, “Then why did you just have sex with me?” he whispered in my ear and I pushed him off, “Because you have this hold on me. I give in to you” he laughed and kissed me on the cheek, “Still friends I guess” he said, stepping back from me. I nodded and went for the door.

“Yes, you’re limping” Harry said and I gave him the finger. I opened the door and saw Paul and Preston waiting outside, guarding the door. “Hello boys” I said, saluting them and I wobbled down the corridor. I heard Harry come out and try to give one of them a high five, it didn’t sound as if he received one back. “Wow! Caity wait” Harry called and he caught my hand, “Come home with me” he said, pulling me towards him, “So you can take advantage of my drunk self again, no thank you” he chuckled into my ear, “We won’t fuck, I promise” I gave him a look and he grinned, “Ok maybe a little” I looked at my phone and saw it was 3 in the morning, “Riley will be worried about me, can you just take me home?” I asked, giving him puppy dog eyes and Harry nodded, “Ok, come with me” I took his hand and he started guiding me out of the club. I walked past Niall and waved but he didn’t ‘wave back, he made full eye contact.

I knew he was upset with me this time.

Harry and I walked through the sea of paparazzi, this was going to be in the papers tomorrow.

“HARRY, CAITLIN! THIS WAY. ARE YOU GUYS TOGETHER NOW?”

They screamed but Harry just continued to walk through the crowd, occasionally having to tug at my arm when I got stuck between paparazzi. He got a cab and I slid into it, he followed. this would give the press a good time tomorrow. I put my head on his shoulder and he told the cab driver my address. he kissed my forehead and we started driving away, I was positive someone got a picture of my head on Harry’s shoulder.

The car came to a stop and Harry helped me out of the cab. “Even though it breached the friendship guidelines, I enjoyed tonight apart from the fact when I called you a slut” I chuckled, “I had fun but lets not make it a routine thing” Harry laughed and nodded, “Are you sure I can’t come in?” Harry asked and I shook my head, “It will lead to other things Harry so goodnight” I gave him a kiss on the cheek but he somehow got to my mouth. I shoved him and turned around, he held onto my hand. “Maybe friends with benefits?” I shook my head and let go of his hand. “Bye Harry, don’t do anything stupid” he laughed and I walked into my building. I waved through the window and he watched as I walked up the stairs. by the time I had gotten up to my apartment and was looking out the window, he was gone. I left a note on the fridge for Riley and went into my room, I fell straight asleep.

“The asshole did it again” I muttered as I looked at the regularly magazines on my desk. It was now monday and I had recovered from friday night. “What are you talking about Caitlin?” Helena asked, looking up from her computer. I was fuming, I scrunched the magazine in my hand and stormed out of the office. “You wouldn’t have known if they weren't there” Katie yelled after me but I continued for the lift.

One Direction were in the studio, recording an interview so I had to wait outside. “Hey Caitlin, what’s up?” Paul and I shoved the magazine in his face, Paul sighed. “For the record, I told him it would hurt you but he did it anyway” I nodded, “That just makes me want to hit him even more” Paul laughed, “Please don’t, he has a tv interview tomorrow” I laughed and walked over to the window, so Harry would see me if he looked this way.

He did.

“Hey, sorry. I just need to check something with someone” I heard him say through the speaker and he stood up and walked over to the door. He walked outside, smiling at me and I just through the magazine at him, “Fuck you Harry Styles” and I turned on my heel and walked back down the corridor, “Caity! let me explain” I laughed sarcastically, “We are no longer ‘friends’” I put my fingers in quotations, walking backwards, “Don’t talk to me and don’t come up to my office ever again” I said to him and got into the lift. “Please, it didn’t mean anything” he said as the door started closing.

“Then why did you do it” I said and he stepped back. the lift door closed and I leant against the far wall. Telling myself not to cry.

“Where is she?” I heard Niall say, I was hiding in the storage cupboard with a box of tissues. the door swung open and there was my beautiful blonde friend. “Oh dear, he’s really done it this time” I smiled through my tears and he sat down, putting his arm around me. “Niall, I’m sorry if I ever made it seem that I liked you more than a friend” he nodded, “So you like Harry?” he said and I sighed, “It’s so fucking complicated between me and him, I’m confused all the time” he rubbed my shoulder, “So shall we just be best friends and you can tell me about all your troubles with Harry” I laughed and looked up at him, “I don’t want to hurt you” I mumbled and he hugged me tighter, “After seeing you with Harry on friday, I realised you didn’t like me like that and that I should move on. I don’t care if you tell me all your problems with Harry” I kissed him on the cheek and he blushed, “You are too cute, I hope you find someone that isn’t as messed up as me” he chuckled and there was a small knock on the door.

“Who is it?” I asked, confusion in my voice. “It’s Harry, can we talk?” he said quietly and I stood up, opening the door. “No” and I walked past him, “Thanks for comforting me Niall” and I pushed past Harry. “Seriously Caitlin?! you had fucking sex with me on friday and now you’re chasing after Niall. Maybe I’ll take back saying you weren’t a slut” I stopped, we were in the middle of my office and Harry had just publicised that I had had sex with him again. I turned and looked at him, “he’s my friend, unlike you who acts like a friend, fucks me and then moves onto the next girl” I spat out at him and he walked over to me, “I was horny and she offered. I’m sorry” I let out a sarcastic noise, “You were horny? we had literally just fucked as least 10 minutes ago!” I started to yell and Helena looked over at me from her computer, she had tried her best to ignore us but I was starting to yell now. “I’m a boy Caitlin! I need it more than once!” I gave him a disgusted look and he walked closer to me, “we aren’t together Caitlin” he said, trying to grab my shoulders but I slipped out of his reach, “The only reason we aren’t is because you keep hurting me” Harry sighed, “You don’t love me like I love you” I laughed at his comment.

“I’m madly in love you Harry Styles!” I suddenly yelled and he looked at me in shock, “What are you talking about?” he said and I started to cry, “I let you come to my house nearly every night, I let you kiss me and other things. you think I do that to humour you? I’m a girl, I’m going to fall for you eventually. BUT YOU RUIN EVERYTHING!” I screamed and Hannah ran out of her office, “What the hell is going on?!” she yelled and everyone went quiet, all you could hear were my sniffs.

“Nothing Hannah, Harry was just leaving” Harry looked at Helena and he started to walk away, “I’m sorry for what I did to you, I’ll leave you alone now” he walked past and hugged me, “I will always love you” he whispered into my ear and kissed me on the forehead. I watched as he walked out of the office, his hand lowered. Every part of my body urged me to run after him but Helena’s voice stopped me, “You deserve better” I turned and nodded to her, Niall walked over to me enveloped me in a hug. “It’s ok” he whispered and I broke down in his arms.

“Caitlin, I’m going to give all your One Direction things to Helena and you can have hers” Hannah said, I let go of Niall and nodded, “That would be for the best, thank you” Hannah smiled at me and went back into her office. “Thanks Niall” I said, wiping my cheek and he smiled, “I’m going to go check on Harry. I’ll be back ok?” I nodded and he walked down the hallway.

“Well wasn’t that fun” Helena said as I sat at my desk, putting my head in my hands. I looked up at her and laughed, “Oh, I’m so fucked up” I muttered and she chuckled to herself.

“Aren’t we all”
