I took a deep breath as I walked over to the stage, I couldn't help as my eyes got watery at the site of the arena. I walked up the stage steps, and wasn't surprised to see Harry sitting in the middle.

"Excuse me sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave." I smirked at him, hugging my binder to my chest.

"You hear her, Roger, she acts like she runs the place." Harry yelled at Roger, smiling at me.

Roger popped up from under the stage and let out a whistle, "Everyone take thirty, boss lady needs the stage." He turned to Harry and shrugged, "She kinda does."

He began walking out of the arena, and turned and winked at me, "Have fun you two."

Harry and I both laughed and suddenly it hit me. I turned to Roger, "It was you! You gave him my address didn't you?"

He smirked at me pretending to zip his mouth before walking away. I turned to Harry and shook my head, "Just stealing my team from right under me."

"That's right, that checklist can't save you from this one." He smiled, standing up and walking over to me. Once he made sure no one was around, he leaned forward and kissed me softly, before pulling away.

I smiled and shook my head at him, "I'm still mad at you for tricking me."

"But baby, you and Chalres are friends again, and look, you're here two days earlier than planned." he said, slipping a hand around my waist.

"Baby huh?" I smirked at him.

He laughed a little, rolling his eyes, "Yeah, yeah."

"Those eyes Mr. Styles." I said, shaking my head, mimicking him.

"You're in such a lovely mood today." I laughed as next thing I knew I was over his shoulder.

"Harry put me down!" I squealed with laughter as he paraded me around the stage.

He shouted at every corner something different, "Los Angeles Maggie Santiago is in a lovely mood! "Look at her ladies and gents, she is extra sassy today."

I giggled, softly hitting his back, to finally put me down, "You're ridiculous you know that?" I say catching my breath.

"No, not ridiculous, just a little crazy." He smiled at me, leaning down and kissing my nose.

"Well isn't this a lovely site?" I hear a female voice coming from somewhere in the arena. We both turn to the stairs as Olivia makes her way up the stage stairs.

I try to move away from Harry, but he quickly grabs my hand and laces our fingers together, "And to what do we own this displeasure?" He smiles at her, owning every bit of the word he just used towards her.

She chuckles softly, "Jeff wants us to go over tonight. Making sure I don't get skipped over by accident again when you're hugging your family." She smirks softly.

"Wasn't by accident the last time, won't be this time."

She holds her smirk, but I see a small twitch, almost a frown in the corner of her mouth, "Excuse me, miss....I seem to have forgotten your name already. Would you mind giving me and my boyfriend some space."

I let go of Harry's hand and he turned and looked at me searching my eyes. I smile softly to let him know I'm okay, even though my heart is beating at 100 miles per hour. I leaned up and gave him a small kiss to which he raised an eyebrow at me. I walked towards the exit, but stopped at Olivia, "You forgot, pretend, pretend boyfriend." I smirked, walking past her and quickly running down the stairs. I didn't get far before I heard her start yelling at him.
