After introductions, food, more food, music, people and some more food, we found ourselves sitting around on the balcony with some of Ed's cousins and friends whilst the older adults were talking inside. Karaoke was going on and we were all having a good laugh with it. Cara was constantly glaring at Jazmin when she laughed at something I said or basically made any movement at all. Currently Jazmin was seated by me having a very animated conversation with Barbara, a 'friend' of Niall's who was always hanging around with him. She was a model as well and her, and Jazmin seemed to get along very well. I'm sure Perrie has mentioned things about her as well in their conversations.

"I'll be back," I whispered to her patting her knee as I got up and left for the bathroom. Upon my exit I felt the presence of someone else and knew precisely who it was before I even laid eyes on them. "Hello again, Cara."

"Harry darling, why do you have a clingy, new girl with you? You must have gotten a bit desperate this time if you asked someone like her, I could of come with you seeing as I'm here anyway." I had to control my anger before I did something stupid as she purred this in my ear.

"Cara, I would appreciate it if you didn't talk about Jazzy in that way, she is a lovely girl and I enjoy her company. And why would I have asked you, you ended whatever we had and I don't plan on going back. Don't be rude to her in anyway and don't talk to her at work, understand."

"Your loss," She strolled down the hallway, back to everyone else as I ran a hand through my hair and let out a frustrated groan.

Jazmin's P.O.V.

"Don't worry about her, she walks around here like she the queen but we all have our secrets." Barbra told me with a smile. I was starting to get uncomfortable under Cara's criticising glare every time I made a movement.

"Do you know her well?" I asked.

"We were close once, but that was a while back. She changed a lot so we drifted." Barbra shrugged.

"How'd she meet Harry?"

"Oh, the boys got invited to a show she was in and she immediately took a liking to him because of how much fame he got, how popular he was and how he took a liking to her." I nodded and looked around the room but didn't meet a cold glare from Cara as she wasn't there.

"Where'd she go, I know Harry went to the bathroom but she's gone as well." I frowned slightly at the fact that they were both missing, especially after what Harry told me only hours before.

"I love your accent can I just say that again, but to answer your question I have no idea where she went, she just got up and walked away. Don't worry too much, Niall has told me about Harry's dislike of her."

"I'm not... worried. Harry and I are just friends and it is Cara Delevigne so I wouldn't judge their actions, I don't really have a place to say anything about it so, yeah."

"Oh bullshit, seriously don't fret. Now I want to go do this karaoke stuff but I need someone to do the duet with me, I know just the song and just the right person." Barbra smiled, getting up and stretching. I nodded and shoed her away but she didn't leave, instead she held her hand out for me to take so I could join her.

"What song are we singing?" I whined as she half-dragged me away from my seating position.

"Um Pussy Cat Dolls obviously, and would you look at that, they have both arrived just in time. Woo!" She cheered quite loudly.

"Great," I mumbled. "Anyway, that didn't tell me what song we are doing, the Pussy Cat Dolls have heaps of songs."

"Only the greatest Pussy Cat Dolls song of all time: Don't Cha." She grinned back at me as we went over to where Ed and Nina were finishing up their duet.

"Good to see your getting into it Jazmin," Ed commented, patting me on the back.

"Yeah, this one is forcing me to; watch your ears guys, prior warning."

"I don't believe you for a second, now get up there." Barbra laughed slapping my bum as we got our microphones, selected the song, and took our positions. "Let's have some fun with this ok," She winked at me and I nodded, grinning cheekily.

Oh, baby dolls
I know you like me (I know you like me)
I know you do (I know you do)
Thats why whenever I come around shes all over you
And I know you want it (I know you want it)
It's easy to see (it's easy to see)
And in the back of your mind
I know you should be home with me

In just the short amount of time we had drawn much more attention to karaoke. Both Barbra and I were really getting into. I had taken a quick glance towards Harry who was open-mouthed but shot me a cheeky grin when we made eye contact. I could feel Cara's glare on me the whole time but I was too immersed in the song to care.

Dont cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me
Dont cha, dont cha
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me
Dont cha, dont cha
Fight the feeling (fight the feeling)
Leave it alone (leave it alone)
Cause if it aint love
It just aint enough to leave a happy home
Let's keep it friendly (let's keep it friendly)
You have to play fair (you have to play fair)
See, I dont care
But I know she aint gon' wanna share

This was honestly so much fun. I could feel the glare from Cara intensifying but this was one of the best night's I've had in the past two or so months and I wasn't about to let her get to me and bring tonight down.
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me
Dont cha, dont cha , baby
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me
Dont cha, dont cha
I know I'm on your mind
I know we'll have a good time
I'm your friend
I'm fun
And I'm fine
I aint lying
Look at me, you aint blind [2x]
See, I know she loves you (I know she loves you)
I understand (I understand)
I'd probably be just as crazy about you
If you were my own man
Maybe next lifetime (maybe next lifetime)
Possibly (possibly)
Until then, Oh friend your'e secret is safe with me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me
Dont cha, dont cha
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me
Dont cha, dont cha

I was a bit puffed after our performance, I had finally snapped out of my state and blushed slightly when Barbra raised her hand to high five me. We both fell into a laughing fit pretty soon and then were forced out of the way so other people could follow our lead. I was being congratulated by Nina and Ed when arms, Harry's arms, wrapped around me. I jumped and squealed at first but relaxed after confirmation that it was him.

"Is that how all burlesque dancers dance?" He asked after moving around so he was standing next to me.

"Nope," I grinned, popping the 'p', "It's even more intense, that was nothing." Harry's eyebrows raised suggestively at that comment.

"I'm still waiting to see a performance but hey, when did you learn to sing like that? No one told me just how talented you are." He pouted slightly.

"Oh Harry, in no way am I talented. I love to sing, dance, act and model but put me anywhere near sports and you will see a very untalented side of me. And all those activities I do because I just can, I'm not extraordinary at them." He rolled his eyes. I had a feeling that the others had dispersed off somewhere else but I was too interested in Harry to take much more notice.

"That's a load of bull and you know it, I bet the whole world knows it. I hate to cut our fun short but it kind of is getting late and Perrie has been mothering and given me a list of requirements about you so we better get going." I sighed.

"She's probably too busy screwing Zayn right now, I don't want to go home to that." Harry screwed his face together.

"Well then, I have a proposition for you. We go back to yours to quickly stop in and leave a note telling the two where you are, grab some clothes for you and then head back to mine. I don't know if Perrie's told you but Saturday night is typically movie night so whenever people have free time we get together for it. Liam and Lou are spending tonight with their birds so we'll only have Niall to keep us company, although I do think him and Barbra are getting some food later tonight. What do you say?" I pondered over his suggestion for a minute before agreeing.

We went through goodbyes, Harry's friends who I had acquainted with during the night first, followed by an overly nice farewell from Cara, which I met with the same sweetness even though she couldn't careless that I was going, only that Harry would be with me. I exchanged numbers with Barbra and wished her a good date with Niall and she told me she would see me tomorrow, before I also received Ed and Nina's contacts and a lovely farewell from them. We successfully avoided any visible paps on our exit and quick dash to the car.

"Did you enjoy tonight?" Harry asked, some way through our journey home.

"Yes, thank you so much. I can't believe you took me to Ed's party. Ed Sheeran Harry that is so amazing. And I got to meet Barbra and Nina as well and they are so lovely. I can't thank you enough." I smile happily at him and he shot me a quick grin before turning his attention back to the road a shaking his head slightly.

"You don't really show too much of your inner fan girl do you?" Harry asked after a few minutes of comfortable silence.

"Nah, she's at peace within herself and doesn't show much. I'm way more mature then that Harry. Oh wait, are you Harry Styles? Omg I love you. Your eyes are the most beautiful thing known to the earth. Wait no you are the most beautiful thing known to the universe. Can I touch your curls? I love you so much. Serenade me with your knee-weakening voice. Will you marry me? You are so hot omg omg omg. Mmmmmm talk again, your voice is so sexy. Bear my chil-"

"Alright I get it! You love me, I'm amazing. You just want more of me around." Harry cut in and flicked his curls.

"Don't flatter yourself, Styles." I growled playfully at him and he held his hands up in surrender, a lopsided grin adorning his face. "Hand's on the wheel boy." He obeyed immediately and we were soon sitting out the front of my place, ready for a quick dash in to get my stuff and go again.

I held my finger up to my lips and shushed Harry as we crept up the stairs and into my bedroom.

"Trying to sneak boys in I see," I squealed slightly at the sound of Zayn's voice in my dark room but quickly recovered and flicked the switch on. Zayn was sitting on my couch and Perrie was sitting on top of him, hand over her mouth trying to hide her amusement.

"What the hell? Why are you in here? You better not have-"

"Relax, we saw you and Harry getting out of the car and wanted to hear about the party so Zayn suggested we hang in here and freak you out, I obviously agreed. Anyways back to the main point, did you have fun?"

"Yes I did actually, I met Barbra and she's so lovely we did karaoke together - that was a good laugh - and I got to meet a few more people like Ed and Nina and Taylor and they're all lovely to."

"Cara was there," Harry added in with and eyeroll. Perrie cringed and Zayn made a disgusted face.

"How typical," I heard Zayn mutter under his breathe.

"Well, that was all we wanted to know, we will leave you to whatever it was you had planned." Perrie winked. I rolled my eyes and made my way over to my wardrobe.

"We thought we'd let you have the night to yourselves, I'm going back with Harry so I'll see you tomorrow I guess." Zayn raised his eyebrows at Harry who shook his head.

"Well, have fun I guess. Oh and Leigh is coming tomorrow." I smiled brightly, Leigh-Anne was a babe and apart from Perrie, I was closest to her out of Little Mix.

"Ok well see you then, have fun and be safe ok, we don't need any baby Zayn and Perrie's running around just yet ok." We all laughed and I hugged Perrie and Zayn goodbye before turning back to my closet and packing for tonight and tomorrow.

"Ready?" Harry asked when I dumped my bag on the bed next to where he was sitting. I nodded my head and he grabbed my bag in his large hand and led the way back to the front door, me pestering him all the way to let me carry my own bag.

We spent the rest of the night talking. I learnt more about his family and life before X-Factor, it was so easy to converse with him and I had a great time. Somewhere along the lines of him learning more about me we drifted into dreamland, me wrapped in his arms. I felt safe for the first time in a while. It was really nice.
