The Photograph

Chapter 7

“What are we doing tomorrow?” I ask changing subject.
“I was thinking maybe hang out with the lads? They were asking me about coming to the studio, would you want to come with?” Harry waits.
“Are you joking? Of course I’d like to come, could I?” I ask biting my lip, nervous.
“Yeah I usually head in there around 10, the lads are there around 8. I can stop by and pick you up around 8, or 8:30?” Harry suggested.
I agreed, Harry and I spent the rest of the night at dinner talking than went on a walk through the city before we walked back and he took us to my hotel. He pulled me into a hug in front of my door, I gladly returned the hug and disappeared inside my room to take my make-up off and change into some comfy pajamas. I fell asleep slowly that night thinking about all the ways that tomorrow can go. I woke up to my phone buzzing and it was Harry.
“Hello?” I said softly, still not awake at all.
“Hey, I was calling to wake you up… Just in case.” Harry answered, sounding wide awake.
“Thank you, are you coming at 8:30?” I ask.
“Yeah, I’ll be there at 8:30 it’s 7 now.” Harry informed.
“Okay thanks, I’ll see you in a little bit.” I say.
“Bye.” Harry said before hanging up.
I styled my hair and searched for an outfit. I finally pulled one out of a suit case and added some accessories to it.

I called Harry to tell him I was ready, he said he was already on his way that he’ll be here in less than 5 minutes, so I made my way downstairs to save him the trouble of having to come upstairs to get me than go back down. I waited in the lobby until he came in, smiling he hugged me tightly but also gently.
“Ready?” He asked.
“I think so.” I smiled softly.
We went to his car, he opened my door before getting in himself. We drove to the studio to the sound of music playing from the radio. When we arrived, we went inside and I followed him down this hallway and into this room. The lads all turned to look at the door to see who it was, they obviously knew Harry but all 4 stared at me. I grew uncomfortable quickly, I was so nervous I’m a huge fan but I can’t freak out like I wanted to. Harry would definitely find it unattractive and the lads would be weirded out. I kept it in and waited for someone to do something, anything. I looked over at Harry who stood a few steps between the boys and a few steps between me.
“This is (Y/N)” Harry announced.
“Why do you look familiar?” Zayn asked, crossing his arms across his chest and resting a finger on his chin trying to remember where he’s seen me from.
“I was at the signing last week.” I respond.
“The one in New York?” Louis raises an eye brow.
“That one… Yes.” I nod.
“Well it’s nice to meet you.” Liam smiled.
Being the shy person I am, I only smiled back in return, not saying anything. Harry turned to the lads and they turned their attention towards him.
“What are we doing today?” Harry asked.
“Thinking about finishing the rest of the single.” Niall stated.
“Let’s do it!” Harry exclaimed.
I kept to myself for a while, I backed down and sat in a chair in a little seating area that was inside the recording room. Harry went first and went inside another little room that was attatched to this one, it had instruments though and a mic obviously he went to lay down apart of his vocals. I waited and watched, I caught a smile growing on my face and stopped myself.
“So you’re from New York?” Louis asked, walking towards me and sitting down on one end of the couch near me.
“Yeah.” I smiled shyly.
“I love New York, it’s so nice… What made you come here?” Louis tilted his head to the side.
“Harry actually, we took a photo at the signing last week and he posted it all over twitter… When he finally found me and reached me he asked me to come out here. So here I am.” I laughed slightly.
“Oh yeah he told me about that and I saw the tweet but I didn’t look at the photo.” Louis said.
“Leave the poor girl alone Lou.” Niall defended as he turned around and looked at us.
“I’m not doing anything!” Louis shouted.
I laughed.
“He’s fine.” I smiled at Niall.
Harry came out a few moments later and in went Louis. Harry sat near me which made me a bit more comfortable as I am more comfortable around him so far. When I really became comfortable and I began warming up to the boys that’s when things became fun. The lads and I would crack jokes while one of them was in the booth recording their vocals. We were in the studio for a couple of hours before parting our ways. We agreed to have dinner tonight and Louis and Liam would bring Danielle and Eleanor to.
“I had a lot of fun.” I smiled at him as we walked out of the studio.
“Good I am glad that you did, do you want to walk around for a bit and do something before dinner tonight?” Harry asked.
“I’d love to.” I agree.
Harry motioned for me and I locked my arm around his and we took a stroll around for awhile. We stopped at a little local place and ate a quick lunch.
“How did you sleep? I know I didn’t ask.” Harry said.
“I slept well, the beds are comfy there.” I laughed slightly.
We chatted for a couple of minutes after we finished eating before we left and went back to the hotel. We agreed that he would stay and hang out in the room while I cleaned up for dinner in the bathroom than we would head to his place so he can clean up for dinner. I pushed the door open and we stepped inside, Harry wondered over to the TV and I announced I would be in the bathroom. I stepped inside the bathroom and began restyling my hair and touching up my make-up.

“I am all set.” I stepped outside of the bathroom into Harry’s view. He shut the TV off and stood up, he looked at me and stopped in his walk over to me. I smiled and waited for him to say something, anything about what I was wearing.
“You look cute.” Harry smiled walking towards me.
“Let’s head to your place so you can clean up.” I turn and opened the door.
We went down to his car and drove a few blocks over to his apartment, we stepped inside and I was a bit blown away. It was so nice!
“This isn’t your place.” I state.
“Yes it is.” He laughed.
“No.” Is all I said.
I sat in the living room watching TV while Harry cleaned up. I kept flipping through the channels to see what they had on. Nothing too interesting so I turned it off and waited for him. Harry came out 40 minutes later and spun around, he had dress pants on with a dress shirt, a bow tie and nice shoes.
“How do I look?” He asks.
“Lookin’ pretty good.” I smile.
“Only pretty good?” He raises an eye brow.
“What else do you want me to say?” I ask with a slight laugh after. “Oh Harry you look so sexy in that bow tie.” I said in a seductive voice than laughed. He laughed silently and shook his head than smiled at me. I laughed again and stood up walking towards him, he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me up against him.
“Let me fix your tie.” I said, moving it slightly so it was centered.
“You know I normally don’t let other people mess with my tie.” Harry confessed. As an answer, all I did was smile which also made him smile too. I continued to mess with his tie and I felt his eyes on me. I looked up to see if he was really looking at me, his eyes were staring into mine heavily. My breath was caught in my throat, we were incredibly close to each other. Harry rested one hand on my cheek and closed his eyes as he moved in closer to me.
“Harry!!” We heard a shout from the door that sung open.
