Oh Anna//H.S(Book 1)

Part 13: Cherry!

"Cherry!" Harry runs up and hugs me the second I walk in.
"I missed you cherry!"  He says.
"Baby, I just saw you Sunday" I say.
"Ok so." He says loosening from our hug.
"Anna!" I turn. It's Danny he is walking with a guy, about my age, possibly a year or two older.
"This is Malicai Jameson. I'm sure you have heard of him."
"Oh yes, I'm Annalise, so good good to meet you." I say shaking his hand.
"He is gonna work with you on some techniques"
"Ok."
"Alright, so come on we'll go over to the computers." Malicai says walking me over to the computers like I don't already know where they are.
"Well excuse you, I've been here for about 5 years now sir." I say jokingly.
" ya ya ok." He says. He sit down at the computers.
"Ok so pull up a picture you want." I think. It was late January, meaning Harry's Birthday was coming up.
"Ok don't make fun of me, but Harry's birthday is coming up and I wanted to edit something to make into a canvas." I say while plugging my phone in to the computer and pulling up a picture.
It's a picture of him and I at the beach.
He starts clicking.
"Are you guys like....dating."  He says.
I sigh.
"It's kinda complicated. I don't really want to talk about it."
"Talk about what?" Harry says, he shows up behind the computer.
"Hey hey hey!" I grab him and turn him around.
"No lookie" I say.
"What?" He says trying to turn around.
"I may or may not be working on your birthday present and I need you to not look because it's a surprise and it's going to be Legendary." I say.
"I thought we agreed no presents."
"We also agreed I was Cherry and you were baby but that agreement gets broken sometimes too."
He smiles.
"Ok we'll have fun. See you in 10." He says he starts to walk away. I sit again.
"He calls you cherry?"
"Mhm."
"Is there a reason behind it."
"Chèrie is Darling in French, and it is basically Cherry."
"Oh...any way uh here we can play around with the contrast a little bit." He puts his hand over mine on the mouse moving it around. I look up at him, back down at my hand, then at Harry, then back at him.
"Educational purposes." He says. I laugh and we keep going.
We start working and we come up with something I really love, transfer it back onto my phone and move on.
"Malicai! Anna! You guys are gonna be shooting for Harry Today." I nod and we walk over to the set. This time Harry's hair is all messed up, and he is wearing a hot pink top, and long white pants, with yellow buttons, and black boots.
"Ok I love this, it's beautiful." I start to take a picture.
"Here let me help." Malicai says.
He puts his hands on my waist and leans me back a little bit.
"There now try."
We get a great picture. It's gorgeous, just like I knew it would be.
"That's the album cover!" I yell. Harry smiles.

"We'll do some editing, so it's like..." I think.
"I fish eye view." Harry continues.
I smile remembering our fish conversation.
"Ya. With black around the edges, it will be perfect." I say.
"Cherry, your beautiful you know that."
I smile.
"Your beautiful." I say. I leave out the pet name because I feel it would be awkward. Awkward around other people. He gives sort of a half smile.
I walk over to the computer again and see Malicai already sitting.
"Here." I hand him the flash drive.
He plugs it in and pulls up the picture. He starts clicking.
"Your going to my house tonight."
"I'm going? Are you sure about that?"
"Your going where?" Harry pops up behind me.
"My house. Hope you two didn't have plans."
"Cherry, I haven't seen you since Sunday...I thought you were coming to mine." Harry says.
"Harry, it's Tuesday." I say laughing.
"I'll come over after, Malicai, deal?"
"That works, dinner, 6 o'clock?" Malicai says
"Sure."
"Great."
We all get ready to leave the studio and I get in my car ready to go to Harry's like the plan was. I knocked on the door.
He looks through the long window and opens the door. He hugs me.
"Cherry!" He says.
"Hey Baby." I say hugging him back.
"Come in, I made lunch." I walk into his beautiful house and sit at the bar stools. He passes me a Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
"Oh wow. So bougie." I say. 
He laughs. I eat and he takes me into his living room.
"Pick a movie, darling." He says throwing me the remote.
"Cherry." I say correcting him.
"Oh sorry, pick a movie cherry, it's not like it means the same thing or anything right" I laugh.
"Ya know, we could watch a movie, but I have to be at Malicai's in a few hours and that just doesn't seem like enough time for a movie...so I think you should kiss me instead." I say sarcastically.
"Mm. Maybe another night. Pick a movie." He says.
"...are you ok Harry Styles?" I put my hand on his forehead as if I'm checking his temperature.
"Yes Cherry, I'm Fine."
"Hmh." I say grabbing the remote. I put on the notebook, one of my personal favorites.
"Hope you like Cheesy romantic comedies, cause that's all your getting."
He smiles. I look over at him.
"Should we just search up romantic comedies on Netflix and then see what we find..." I say laughing very proud of my pun. He smiles and grabs a hold of me. We cuddle and watch the movie for a little bit.
"Baby..."
"Cherry..."
"Can you be honest with me for a second?"
"Yes of course."
"Why dont you want to kiss me." He sighs.
"The same reason you were crying in the car the other day." I sit in silence.
I was crying in the car because we couldn't be together. I drop it.
"Oh! I learned French!" I say.
"You didn't!" He says. I hand him his guitar.
"Give me background music." I say he laughs and starts playing, his phone is recording as well.
"Coucou! Tu dors? Oh, j'suis désolée Bah non" I start laughing.
"Nan c'est pas important Ouais, on était à la plage, et maintenant, Parfait, Harry" I stop and he laughs.
"Cherry that made no sense at all."
"Yes it did!"
"Hello, are you asleep, oh I'm sorry, well no it's not important, well then we went to the beach and now we,  perfect Harry."  He laughs. Stopping the video on his phone. He pulls me into the couch and hugs me.
"Even though it made no sense, I'm still very proud of you." He says.
He makes me so happy. At this point I don't love him. But I will. I know I will.
