But Mia's hiding more than heartache. And Harry's about to learn that even the most beautiful muse can carry the heaviest ghosts.

When Maddie and Harry run into each other again ten years later, what happens when feelings that were pushed away begin to resurface? EXCERPT: "How about this..."

Deep down he wants it to be him, but he wouldn't dare make a move that could ruin the strongest friendship he's had his entire life. Maddie finds herself smiling at Harry's idea, she loves it. It won't happen though, because some girl in the future is bound to fall in love with Harry and his kind heart, and he'll be head over heels for her too.

𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 || Harry Styles a.u
When two celebrities with their darkest secrets meet, what's the worst that could possibly happen? - My eyes landed on his hand in front of me before looking up to meet with a pair of gorgeous emerald green eyes. "You must be the girl who went viral with your first music video. Stella Lancaster, am I right?" A dimple showing on his face as his smile lit up for me. He waited until I finally blinked in realisation that this encounter was actually happening. "Y-yeah. That's me." I nervously smiled back while shaking my hand with his gently. "I'm Harry. Harry Styles." he eyed me while smirking. I nodded at his already awfully familiar name in the first place. His eyes suddenly turned a shade darker and I noticed his aura changed. He squeezed my hand before leaning in, my breath halted as he did so. "Care to explain why you got my face on your shirt, darling?" he whispered ever so seductively into my right ear.
