Through The Dark

Sophia's POV
Since it was spring I decided to dress for it.

I decided to walk to the cafe where Harry and I planned to meet.

The sun was warm and hazy, a cool breeze wafted through the streets of London.

I entered the cafe.

A clearly annoyed hostess looked up from the counter.

"Name?" She drawled.

I didnt know what to say.
What name did Harry reserve under?

"She's with me. Harry. Harry Styles." A familiar voice spoke up.

I turned to see Harry standing to my right.

The hostess smiled and changed her mood faster than you can count to ten.

She appeared to be happy and sweet.

"Have a nice lunch, Mr. Styles," She cooed.

Harry held ny hand as he tugged me to the table.

I turned around.
The hostess glared at me, fuming.

He pulled my chair out, and I sat down. Harry did too.

"Listen. About last night, I was-" Harry vegan to say, but I covered his mouth with my hand.

"It's alright. No biggie, honest! Now, when I remove my hand, we will talk about something else. Got it?" I stated.

Under my hand, I felt Harry grin. He nodded.

I slowly removed it.

He laughed. It was a nice one. Reminded me of summer's in Malibu.

"I have something important to tell you. Two things actually." Harry spoke up.

I swirled my straw around my glass of iced tea.

"Is that so?" I asked.

"Yes. So you know about the whole Cassia thing." He began.

I nodded. Swirlesome more.

"Cassia gave up the baby for adoption." He murmured.

I choked on the sip of tea I has just sipped.
Coughing, I wiped my tears away.

"You alright, hun?" Harry asked.

I nodded and took a sip.

"What! Why?" I asked.

Harry shrugged.

We picked at the cake we ordered.

"Claims she needs to focus on work. I mean she lied to me telling me that she lost the baby, then she secretly had the baby, and now, the baby only two weeks old, was up for adoption!" Harry explained, shoving a mouthful if cake in his mouth.

"Was?" I asked, cocking my head to the side.

Harry grinned.
"Was. I adopted her!" He said.

"No way! That's great, Harry." I replied.

"Technically, since I'm madly in live with you, you'll be coming with me to New York to pick her up. I'd like you to be the mother figure in her life." Harry told me, serious.

I ignored the warm feeling in my stomach.

"Wow. Of course I'll go with you. I'm honored." I exclaimed.

My voice faltered a bit at the end.

Harry moved the plate aside, and squeezed my hand.

"Something wrong, love?" He asked.

I shook my head.

"it's just.. I've known you for a day, and I'm already helping you raise your daughter. You really trust me..." I murmured.

" Of course I do. I feel like I'm talking to my best friend when I talk to you. I know, it's wierd. Why are you looking at me like that?" Harry said.

"I feel the same way. That's all. When are we flying over to pick her up?" I asked.

"Tomorrow." He said, standing up.

He paid for the tea and cake, and we walked outside.

"Are you up for a walk?" He asked.

"Sure." I said.

We walked through a nice park, almost like Central Park.

"So.. When does tour start?" I asked.

"Two months." Harry replied.

We strolled through a garden of roses.

"Can I ask you a question?" I spoke up.

"You just did." Harry teased.

I poked him.

He laughed, then motioned for me to continue.

"How long are we uh. Going to be together?" I asked.

Harry pondered the question.

"I'm thinking as long as we can. " Harry stated.

"Ok. Sounds good to me." I replied.

"Why? Counting down the days, hun?" Harry joked.

"No. I just like this. This fake acting. It feels real..." I whispered.

Harry smiled.

"Me too." He agreed.

He held my hand as we strolled along.

The paps would really love this.

Friends or not, I couldn't help but like the pull in my stomach.

"Am I falling for my fake beau?" I wondered.

"No." I seemed to tell myself.

Harry laughed at something.

"Just having fun. Something I hadn't done in a while." I told myself.
