Harry picked me up from work.

"Hey do you mind if I stop and pick up something to drink?"

"you're the one driving."

He smiled "well if I didn't care about your opinion I wouldn't have asked. So are you good with me stopping on the way?"

"I don't mind."

We pulled up to a store he walked around opening my door. I followed him into the store he grabbed whiskey and walked over to the wine section "does this look good?"

"I don't know I've never had it."

He read the label "it's watermelon flavor so it's either really good or really shit." Carrying it to the counter. Harry grabbed a pack of skittles as well putting it up.

We got in the car Harry putting the skittles in my lap. I looked up at him. "Don't act so confused like you didn't know they were for you." Shaking his head.

I pouted my lip "why are you so sweet."

He shook his head with a laugh

We got back to mine.
I was making dinner for Harry and I Harry sat on the counter next to me watching

I started cutting up dill "is Ashton single?"

Harry chuckled "Yeah I think so, why?

"Does he do relationship or.."

"Ashton pretty much only does relationships. I've seen him hook up once but even that he brought her on a date after."

"so he's a good guy!" I got excited

Harry's eyebrows furrowed together "Hey! What makes someone who struggles with commitment a bad guy?"

"The heart break of a girl."

"Hey some girls don't like committing either. Most of the girl I've been with prefer a one and done."

I winced "Ok I don't want to think about that."

"Ok so why are you asking about Ashton? are you planning on leaving me for him?" he sat with a smirk.

I gave him a deadpan look "no. But someone may have a crush on him."

He gasped "SARAH LIKES ASHTON!"

"Shhh you can't tell him!" I covered his mouth

He moved my hand "Oh I'm definitely setting them up."

"Harry stop!" I whine

"I won't say anything but I'm definitely going to be inviting him out with us more."

"Harry we shouldn't get involved"

"We aren't. a little invite and if they click they click." winking "if you know what I mean."

I shook my head.

Two days.

I was at the thrift shop with Sarah she was working and I was just hanging out.

Harry texted me
Hey do you want to get lunch?

I'm at the thrift store with Sarah

Has you or she eaten?

Not yet

-
30 mins go by Harry walks in and behind him is Ashton.

Harry smiles at me making me glare at him. He glances to Sarah.

"Are you due for a lunch break yet Sarah?" tilting his head.

She looked at Harry then at Ashton. "Yeah Actually." she smiled. She glanced around the store making sure nobody was there we walked out and she locked the store.

We walked over to the pizza place with outdoor seating.

Harry pulled my chair out for me. I smiled "thank you."

Sarah rolled her eyes "I'm jealous" with a laughed

Ashton said "I gotcha" pulling her chair out for her as well

Harry said "look at me being a positive influence on my gang"nodding his own head in approval.

Ashton turned to Harry "so have you finished those new songs?"

Harry looked at me and back at Ashton.

"New songs?" I questioned

Harry cleared his voice "yeah I've been writing a bit with Louis"

Sarah asked "are they love songs?" pointing to the two of us

Harry smirked "maybe"

"About me?"

"No baby about my love for pizza" with a huge smile on his face.

"Can I hear it?"

"When I play it live maybe."

Ashton said "god I miss playing live"

"You play?" Sarah questioned

"Yeah me Luke Michael and calum are in a band. But you know work"

Sarah asked "who are they?"

Ashton said "my best mates. they live off base. they are a bit tied up." Glancing at Harry

Sarah nodded "so do you sing?"

Ashton laugh "not really I play drums you know like a real band." Nudging Harry who just smiled

Harry put his hands up "niall plays guitar sometimes."

I shook my head "what's up with dangerous gang members being in bands."

Harry said "you don't think our whole personality is gang do ya?What a man can have a hobby outside his day job" laughing

I laughed "just pointing out the similarities" putting my hands up

Harry pointed at Aston "hey you know what we should do tonight?"

"What's that" Ashton laughed

"Go to the studio and let lexy and Sarah hear your music."

Sarah chipped in "that would be so fun!"

Ashton laugh "alright yeah let's do that."

We all sat around at Louis for a while. We listened to Ashton's band.

Harry held a guitar in his hands and messed around.

I looked at him "you should serenade me"

"Seems cheesy." he laughed

"Or romantic"

He scrunched his face.

I rolled my eyes "Can I at least listen to the music you've been working on with Louis?"

He pulled my chin closer so he could kiss my lips humming "hmm no"

Louis said "oh come on styles it's good shit."

He said "she'll hear our stuff eventually."

Louis said "what about the stuff you recorded by yourself?"

I said "by yourself"

Harry shook his head. "You just can't keep your mouth shut dickhead."

Louis laughed "I didn't know it was a secret"

"Can I hear something please"

"no" he laughed "not yet it's not done"

"You're mean" I crossed my arms

"And you're pretty. Now that we are done stating the obvious. Im going to help myself to another drink" kissing my cheek before getting up.
