All of Me (Harry Styles) - Book 2

Chapter 83: "Miss you."

-Ava's POV-

@AvaMcCain: One $12 shirt = $12 donated to Animal Charity Network. Buy one if you'd like #cat-ears-not-included

I quickly snap a picture of myself in the shirt and post the tweet before leaning back in my desk chair. I cringe as I look over the picture once again, wishing I had taken a second look before tweeting it. I've become a bit more picky about what pics I post, now that I have over 8 million followers. All due to you know who of course.

Within minutes I get a notification that Harry reposted my tweet, soon followed by Niall and Louie doing the same. Most likely those three tweets alone will raise the money the charity needs to keep going. It's not one I normally have a hand in, but when I recieved an email asking for any help I could give, I couldn't say no.

"Told you those cat ears would be adorable!" Jenna laughs, coming into my office with her phone in hand. "You about to head home?"

"Nah." I shake my head, "Nothing to go home to so figured I would work late. But you go on."

"I have two more applying for the assistant job tomorrow."

"Let's hope they're better then the three who showed up today."

"I'll find the perfect one, don't you worry. With a little more help around here, I can manage while you jet off across the world with lover boy." Jenna giggles before biding me goodbye.

I chuckle at her nickname for Harry, one of many she uses to reference him. Its one of the little things about her that remind me of Poppy, who I miss dearly. I glance at the clock as I contemplate calling her. It's almost 6pm here so that means it's about 12am in London. A little to late to call her on a week day.

I decide to just try her in the morning, and focus back on my work. I have three meetings tomorrow, none of which I'm looking forward to. The thought of having to fight with Margaret once again about me wanting to take a step back makes me want to hide under my desk. Intolerable woman, I really don't know how my grandmother dealt with her all those years. Probably by keeping a glass of wine in her hand at all times.

A few more hours go by, and before I realize it, it's almost nine. As I pack up for the day, I dial Harry's number, wanting to hear his voice.

It rings three times before I hear shuffling on the other line.

"Incontinence helpline, can you hold please?"

"You've been waiting all day for that haven't you?" I ask.

"Since last night actually." He chuckles, "Thought of it on the plane. Went right in the book."

"And here I was expecting some sexual innuendo. I'm so disappointed."

"Been trying to give those up love. But it's hard..... Soooooo hard. How 'bout you?"

"I myself rarely use sexual innuendo in conversation, however I do occasionally like to slip one in."

"I like where this is going, however I think I need to be alone to continue it." He laughs, "Miss you Ava."

"Miss you. Good day?"

"Interviews went well. Niall and Zayn got in a scrap over the buffet table. Niall won of course. Fancy those cat ears by the way... you keeping them?"

"Now what would I need those for?"

"I would tell you, but I happen to be sitting in a room with about ten other people. A small room at that. Just hold on to them yeah?"

"We'll see. You still coming home tomorrow night?"
