The recording session went smoothly, Riley sang like an actual angel but I had a hard time focusing for more than 5 minutes at a time because I couldn't stop thinking about Gabe.
Was I the reason he didn't come in to work?
There is no way he would have just blown off something as big as Maggie letting us go solo in a recording session.
I tried to get it off my mind as I shut down all the monitors and equipment in the production room. I needed it to be out of my mind completely before tonight, I didn't want anything to take away from my time with Harry.
As I walk out of the production room and back to my office I notice it's already time to head home, so I grab my things and head straight to the elevator. As I'm walking out of the front of the building I feel my phone buzz and glance down to see who it is.
Harry Styles
5:33 pm
Hope you had a lovely day at work, can't wait to see you. I'll be there at 7. xxx
My heart does what feels like a backflip as I read the message.
He's excited to see me.
I type back back a quick "Can't wait" and tap send, smiling as I do. I make my way to my train and step inside and hold on to one of the rails. I pop in my headphones and blast my happy playlist to help clear my mind.
When I arrive at my stop I hop off and go quickly to my building, waving at Greg as I head up the stairs to my little apartment. My clock reads 6:23, meaning I had a little over 30 minutes to get myself ready for tonight. I change into a casual sundress and my doc martens, one of my favorite go-to outfits. Not too dressy but also not too casual, I have no idea what we are doing really so I figured this outfit is a safe bet for whatever situation I find myself in. I head quickly to my bathroom to freshen up my makeup and brush through my hair, making the curls I had given myself this morning turn to soft waves. I spritz my favorite perfume on and head back into my room to give myself one final glance in my full length mirror.
I think to myself, 'I feel pretty.' That's something I don't do very often, think of myself as something I admire. But at this moment, I feel confident and beautiful.
Just as I do so my phone starts to ring and I walk over to pick it up from my bed where I threw it down in my frenzy to get ready. I see Harry's name pop up and quickly slide to answer the call.
"Hey, you," I say softly as I grin from ear to ear.
"Hey, you" he replies back. "I'm outside, whenever you're ready. I know I'm early but-"
I cut him off with a quick "I'll be right there," as I smile and end the call.
I make my way down the stairs and as I enter the lobby my heart flutters as I see Harry talking to Greg. Harry has such a kind spirit. I stand there and watch the two conversate for a moment, Greg laughing and Harry carefully taking in every word that Greg is saying. Harry is really great about making everyone feel like they are the most important person in the world when he is talking to them, and I can see that Greg feels that way right now as I hear him go on and on about his sweet wife.
"I see you've met my favorite guy," I say as I walk up swinging my arm around Greg's neck.
Greg chuckles and replies "Wow, how'd I get lucky enough to earn that title?"
"Well, you do listen to me gripe and groan on the daily. You deserve some kind of award for just putting up with me," I say sarcastically.
"Ah, the pleasure is all mine Charlie," he says with a smile. I make eye contact with Harry and feel my cheeks flush pink. We both flash soft smiles to one another and he speaks in the softest tone "You look beautiful, Char,"
My heart skips a beat every time he calls me beautiful. And I loved that he called me Char. People have called me Char a million times before but the way he says it is so sweet and elegant. It's like I am hearing it for the first time ever.
"I like the nickname," I say with a wink.
"Well, I better let you two kids get going. Have the time of your lives, what I would give to be your age again and out on the town." Greg says as he waves us off.
I make my way to Harry's side and as we walk out of the building I feel his fingers reach to intertwine with mine. We make our way to his car, this time a black range rover with the windows completely tinted.
As he reaches to open my car door he leans in close to me, his lips brushing my ear as he whispers "You are so beautiful," softly, his whisper sending a chill down my spine. I climb into the car and he shuts my door and makes his way to the driver's seat. He climbs in and immediately reaches for my hand, to once again lace our hands. We drive in a comfortable silence, stealing coy glances at one another. I feel like I am yet again in another daydream, holding hands with the most beautiful man I have ever encountered and never want this moment to end.
