|Why Dont We Go There|

Riley's P.O.V
I swung around in my chair, giggling and throwing pens everywhere. I was so excited because I didn't have to do anything at all today.

The phone rung on my desk, I answered it having the wire twist around the chair.
"This is the Vogue designing director how may I help you." I smiled using my full title, I've dreamed of working here and now I finally am.

"Well I think I'm talking to the wrong person, is Riley there I know she doesn't work at vogue." Harry said slowly trying to crack a joke.

"I don't know Mr.Styles maybe you have the wrong girlfriend." he scoffed over the phone laughing like he was somewhat offended.

"Well wrong girlfriend I'd like to offer you an invitation somewhere tonight." He laughed a bit, I knew he was smiling by his tone.

"I could." I smiled trying to unwind the cord, I almost tripped having the cord wrapped around my foot.

"No you're going I'm going to get off of work at six be ready at seven,wear something comfortable..not sexy this time okay?" He then hung up. I agreed being confused by wearing something other than sexy while on a date with Harry.

I decided to say goodbye to Ryan and Niall for the day, Niall had decided to help Ryan because I wasn't doing shit today.

As I walked down stairs everyone passed me saying 'Hello Ms.Farrell' I waved and replied back. I got down there and Niall was sitting on the couch with Ryan, they were watching a movie on the white backdrop.

Niall turned his face to look at her, he moved a piece of hair out of Ryan's face. Ryan turned back around and smiled at Niall, her smile faded as she leaned in. My eyes widened and I almost gasped, she kissed him slowly and I felt my chest burn.

I slammed the door and walked away quickly, my heels clicked rapidly against the floor as I heard the door open quickly.

"Riley wait!" Niall screamed running after me, I turned the corner quickly trying to walk away.
He grabbed my shoulder, I padded my eyes before turning around.

"I know I- why are you crying?" He looked into my eyes trying to explain. I looked away and blinked the tears away, trying not to give myself away.

"Nothing's wrong, I gotta go Niall. " I walked away rapidly, pushing the door open into the cold night.

Niall's P.O.V
Riley didn't have any work today so I didn't need to help her, she sent me down to help Ryan. I had to put so many different pictures in different templates, I was exhausted and never wanted to touch another computer again.

My eyes burned from staring at the computer, I closed my eyes laying back on the couch. The sting lingered as I blinked, Ryan plopped down.

She had put a projector in the middle of the room, and switch the computer onto Netflix.
I watched as the lights went down, she asked me what did I want to see. I really didn't care so I tapped on the computer keeping my eyes closed.

I finally realized that I chose the cheesiest chick flick ever, The Notebook. I hated this with a passion, a burning passion ever since Riley made me watch it with her.

I didn't end up watching the rest because, I wanted to do something else but I don't think I should repeat that. I sat up a little actually seeing a part of this movie I didn't watch before.

Ryan leaned at the edge of the couch interested as they lied on the concrete, I turned to look at her. She smiled at the movie, wiping away some tears. I don't get why girls liked this movie, it's just a movie about a notebook.

Ryan laughed as a car horn beeped, she rested back on the couch. I moved a piece of hair out of her face, she looked at me and something came over me I couldn't explain.

She surprisingly kissed back, her tiny fingers went tangled in the back of my hair. Just as my hands grabbed her waist the door slammed causing us both to jump, I immediately ran to the door.

Riley's heels clicked against the tile, I quickly followed her. "Riley wait!" I called running after her, I didn't know a girl could walk that fast in heels.

I grabbed her shoulder trying to catch my breath, she turned around and tried to explain.

"I know I," I looked more into her eyes they were red and puffy, "why are you crying."
She tried to compose herself, but I saw right through it.

"Nothing's wrong, I gotta go Niall." Ruley snatched her shoulder out of my grasp and ran out of the door making it slam.

"What happened?" Ryan asked me grabbing onto my arm, I knew exactly what happened but I couldn't tell her she wouldn't understand.

"Riley was just embarrassed that she walked in that's all." she nodded and walked back into the studio, I stayed staring at the door.

She wasn't in love with Harry, I saw that the first day they went out together. I knew when Riley was completely infatuated with someone, and that person wasn't Harry.
