Chapter 14

Harry

It had been a day since I gave Claire my number and she still hadn’t called. I noticed the boys were doubtful she would call but they didn’t say anything because they didn’t want me to be unhappy. Since today was our day off all the boys went off to do different things after lunch. I didn’t feel like being with anyone I told the boys I had plans and went to the hotel pool which was empty.

I placed my towel and cell phone at the edge of the pool and jumped in it to swim some laps. A couple of hours later our stylist Lou and Baby Lux came to the pool. I told Lou I would watch Lux while she relaxed. Lou sat down on one of the pool chairs while I played with Lux in the pool. She was such a cute baby I loved being around her. After about an hour Lou took Lux and left the pool and I decided I should get out of the pool too. All my fingers were pruny and wrinkled.

I wrapped my towel and ran to my room. I left my phone on the bed and ran to the bathroom to shower. While showering I heard my phone ring. I ignored it and continued to shower when I thought maybe it’s her. I jumped out of the shower and ran into the room naked and soaking wet. “Unknown” it said on the display. I pressed talk and said “Hello?” No one replied, but I heard someone breathing on the other end. “Hello?” I repeated.

“Um, Sorry, wrong number,” said a girl in quiet voice really fast.

“Claire?” I asked before she could hang up on me. She didn’t reply but I could still hear her breathing on the other end. She hadn’t hung up. “Claire its Harry, Harry Styles,” I said as water dripped from my hair and body onto the floor.

“Really?” Claire replied timidly

“Really,” I said chuckling, “Harry from One Direction, we met at the signing in Pennsylvania.”

“Yeah I know who you are,” she said nervously “but, why did you give me your number?”

“Because you were beautiful,” I said as water continued to drip onto the floor. A small puddle was forming around me but I didn’t care. I could tell she did not believe me so I added “really I thought you were gorgeous,”

“Does that mean you give your number to every beautiful girl you see?” she asked

“No just the really special ones,” I replied as I sat down on the floor.

“I see why they call you a flirt,” she replied giggling

“Yeah I get that a lot. What are you doing now Miss Claire?” I asked laughing. I shook my wet head sprinkling water everywhere.

“Just ate, now I’m sitting on my bed talking to Harry Styles from 1D, have you heard of him?” she asked giggling some more.

“Yes, he’s a very handsome and kind lad, who you should go on a date with,” I replied charmingly.

“Really, I should,” she asked

“Yes, tomorrow evening. Pick you up where?” I asked

“Whoa hold your horses,” she replied “I don’t go out with any random person without knowing them a little bit”

“What do you want to know?” I asked

“Hmm what are you doing right now?” she asked

“I am soaking wet sitting naked on my hotel room floor talking to a lovely girl who I would like to get to know better,” I replied as a smiled formed on my face.

“Wet? Naked? I don’t even want to know,” she exclaimed giggling, “you get points for being honest” she added.

“Yes that’s me Mister Honest,” I said.

We continued to talk for over an hour and then she said “So I’ll see you tomorrow then? I’ll text you the address to my dorm.”

“Okay love,” I said trying to hide my excitement.

“Night, Harry,” she said before she hung up.

I let the phone slip out of my hand on to my lap. I just say there thinking about the conversation.

“Hazza,” I heard Louis say as my door was kicked open. Louis walked in followed by Liam, Danielle, and Niall.

“What are you doing? Oh my god, Danielle cover your eyes,” Liam exclaimed as he jumped in front of Danielle blocking her view of me. Louis and Niall started laughing.

Niall walked to the bathroom and grabbed my bathrobe and handed it to me. “Why are you wet on the floor?” he asked afterward.

I put on the bathrobe and after he approved Liam moved away from Danielle’s path. She was giggling. “I was in the shower when Claire called” I replied.

Everyone seemed excited and asked for details. I explained what happened. Then Liam asked “have you seen Zayn, we have all been calling him but he hasn’t answered.”

“Nope haven’t seen him since lunch,” I replied. We all then continued to talk about our various days. I was so happy there was a permanent smile on my face.
