Mabel Donovan, a twenty-two-year-old dealing with writer's block, is presented with the life-changing opportunity of closely observing the enigmatic life of renowned artist Harry Styles, known by the public as "the black cat," a nickname he has earned due to the belief that misfortune befalls those who dare to approach him.  Mabel does not believe in superstitions, and she is determined to get closer to him, hoping to change how people see him and to finally become a published writer. 
Her efforts are only destined to falter as she uncovers the truth beneath the façade: Harry Styles is caught up in the perverse dynamics of the entertainment industry, a place way darker and scarier than what people would imagine it to be. 
Would you trust what the media tells you about him?

"Do I scare you, Mabel? Why..." his eyes seem to seek permission to explore other exposed areas of my skin. He places two fingers on my neck, feeling the blood pulsating in my vein, and breathes out, "...is your heart racing?"
I stammer something, completely incapable of coming up with a coherent sentence.
"Tell me: are you afraid of my black cat fame, darling?"

You hide and pray to god that I don't find you" - - - - - - - - - - - - I learnt from a very young age to never fall into the weak category, to never make yourself inferior to anyone else and definitely do not show anyone vulnerability. I do, however, find myself constantly intrigued by the weak. It's something about the way they fall submissive to a dominate. The way in which you can see the tiny balls of sweat form on their hairline from the ones in which they both fear and desire. The way in which the increased heartbeat becomes so evident whether they are in fear or overwhelmed in lust. And I guess that's what intrigued me most about YOU. - - - - - - - - - - - - Both Harry & Louis find themselves consistently obsessed with each other for the entirety of senior year at Charlotte High School, yet neither one of them care to do anything about it. Louis, a sick-minded control extrovert prays on the weakness and vulnerability of Harry from the moment he steps foot in the school. But nothing is ever what it seems to be, every human posses a vulnerability in them when provoked in the same way that when given no other option, even the most kindhearted of individuals know what it takes in order to survive.

It probably isn't the best idea for me to do this, given what has happened last time I decided to defy him. Harry steps closer to me and burns his gaze through my skull, looking into the deepest parts of my soul. He slowly brings his hand up in between us until it meets my neck. He tightens his grip at his finger tips, not hard enough to restrict my breathing. With his large hand now wrapped around my neck, he pulls my body closer to his until our chests meet. With my head tilted up to meet his eyes, I can feel my skin burning up, in contrast to his cold rings. I feel him dip his head down until I feel his hot breath on my ear, making goosebumps rupture all over my body.

DUALITY - the sequel to IT'S YOU! [Mature] *Please note: There will be spoilers for the first book from below onwards... You don't necessarily need to have read and finished IT'S YOU to understand DUALITY, but it will be more rewarding if you do. If you want a refresher, there's an index at the end of that book, summarising each chapter and the subsequent one shots too. Despite all the challenges, Harry and Eloise have had their busiest couple of years to date. With new movies, tours, an album, a beauty brand, writing, promotion, and - not least - parenthood, they've had a lot to contend with throughout the pandemic. Working together on one truly iconic project was supposed to help bring them closer, not risk bringing them to breaking point. Trying to balance their professional and personal lives is already hard enough when it's all played out in the public eye, but it proves harder still when the storyline seems to start blurring between the two. Pressure, competition, jealousy, coercion, manipulation, deception, guilt... With such high stakes, it's hard to know who to trust, especially when things turn out to be not quite what they seem. In the eye of the storm, it can be hard to keep a grasp on what's real, and what really matters, after all. Please note: This is intended as an exercise in character development and descriptive writing. Harry features heavily - because he's incredibly charismatic and so talented - but I will be mindful to be as respectful as possible. Disclaimers: Contains mature content! And I have no links to Harry, nor any of his associates, nor to Bond or any of the other familiar names mentioned. I'm just borrowing him and them as familiar points of reference for not-for-profit artistic license.

'The arena was huge. I mean, I knew this girl was famous, but this is as big as the stadiums I would play in during my One Direction days, and those were fucking enormous. I look out the window of the tented black vehicle I was in and see the hundreds of thousands of fans waiting outside, all dressed in skirts or dresses for the big event. "I told you Harry, this girl is huge." Frank speaks up from beside me, snapping me out of my stare. "I didn't have to come to one of her fucking shows to know that. I don't even know why I'm here." I mumble, rolling my eyes and looking out the window at the road that was moving fast beneath us. I didn't even want to be here, and if I am being honest I didn't even want to work with her. Yeah, her music is good and all, but she seems like fucking priss. I've watched a couple of her interviews, and she seems boring as hell. Sure, she's hot as fuck, but she does not seem like my type at all. "Because, you're going to be working with her for a while, Harry. Plus if this whole thing works out as planned, you're going to want to get to know her." He reminds me, winking.' ~~~~~~ It's hard to fall in love when the whole world is watching you.
