Aubrey’s point of view:

I returned to the house after my little trip to the beach. I couldn’t stop thinking about my meeting with Harry. It was so strange the way he looked me in the eyes. He had me under his spell.
“Damn it” I said as I realized that I had locked myself out of the house. I remembered that my set of keys were in my bedroom. I tried to call Sarah and Louise but none of them replied to my calls. It was a few minutes past six in the morning and the sun was up. I decided to lie by the pool and wait for them to wake up. I might as well get the best out of a crap situation. The weather was beautiful and it was already really warm. I wasn’t used to that back in London. I decided to call my dad to let him know that we had arrived safely.

“Hey dad, it’s Aubrey.”
“Hello my sweetie pie, is everything well?” He sounded concerned.
“Oh, yes, everything’s fine. I just wanted to let you know that we are here and we are fine.”
“I’m glad to hear that. Isn’t it early right now?”
“It’s 6 am. I couldn’t sleep so I went to the beach to watch the sunrise and I forgot my keys so now I’m locked out. I’m waiting for the others to wake up. But I’ll let you get back to work – I love you dad, see you soon.”
“Goodbye Aubrey. Say hello to Louise and Sarah from me. Take care.”

I was staring at the beach that was right in front of me. It was 8 am and people were starting to arrive. I guess they really take beach life seriously in Malibu. I enjoyed the sound and smell of the ocean. I didn’t experience this often in England and we didn’t go on vacation much.
“What are you doing here?” I heard a familiar voice coming from behind. Sarah was finally up.
“I got locked out. I was at the beach to watch the sunrise and I forgot my keys.” Sarah laughed. Typical of her to just respond with a laugh. I went into the kitchen to make some food but I quickly realized that the fridge was completely empty since we had just arrived. I let out a sigh to show how annoyed I was.
“Is Louise still sleeping?” I yelled from the kitchen to Sarah who was watching TV in the living room.
“Yeah, I think so. Don’t count on that she’ll be awake any time soon.” What was that suppose to mean? I remembered that we drove past a big supermarket right down the street so I decided to go there by myself. I was surprised by the size of everything in America. Everything appeared to be so much bigger than back in England. It was so scary walking around in America all alone but I managed to do the grocery shopping and get back to the house safely. Louise was awake when I came back and she had joined Sarah in the living room.
“Look who’s up” I said and laughed as I was unpacking the stuff I had bought. I was starting to get sleepy but it was only 11 am so I had to stay up for many more hours. I threw myself on the sofa after I had finished unpacking the groceries.
“Was the sunrise beautiful?” Sarah asked me and Louise looked confused. I told her the short story – that I had been on the beach very early to watch the sunrise. I didn’t tell them that I met Harry. A part of me didn’t believe it was real.

“Meet me at the beach same time tomorrow? :)” Harry sent me a text. It was 8 pm and I was about to go to bed because I was extremely tired. A part of me really wanted to see him again and find out more about him. To me he was very mysterious. I knew that I shouldn’t become too attached to or involved with him. I had always been told that celebrities were persons you shouldn’t get involved with.
“I’ll be there :) x” I replied to him. I had to be at the beach at 5 am so I stressed about the fact that I should be sleeping at that point. I had a hard time falling asleep. I kept thinking about Harry and his intentions. It was kind of weird that he wanted to meet me at the beach 5 am in the morning.

“Shit” I said to myself as I looked at the clock. It was ten minutes past 5 am and I should have been at the beach ten minutes ago. I hope he hadn’t left. I hurried up to get dressed and I practically ran to the beach. This time I had remembered my keys because I didn’t want Sarah and Louise to find out that I had left the house this early. I knew they would question me if they knew it. I saw a curly haired boy sitting in the sand starring at the sunrise. I stopped for a second to look at him. I just had to make sure it was Harry and it was. He turned around and smiled when he saw me. I gave him a weak smile back. I was super tired and I tried to hide it but I think I failed as he laughed when I yawned.
“Come and sit,” he said as he softly padded the sand beside him. I followed his instructions and sat beside him. I didn’t want to sit too close to him because I didn’t want to invade his privacy. I guess I was very careful only because he was famous. I don’t know what I had the idea that famous people were fragile. Harry seemed fragile though, but not in a bad way. He seemed like a guy who was in touch with his emotions. I could tell that he was not like the other guys I had met.
“From where in England?” He asked me and smiled.
“How did you know that I’m from England?” I felt so stupid. Of course he could hear on my accent that I was British.
“You speak like a proper British person” he said and laughed and I laughed with him.
“I’m from London and I have lived there my entire life. And which part of England are you from?” I wasn’t a fan of One Direction so I didn’t know all of that stuff and I liked that I got to know him as Harry. Just Harry. Not Harry from One Direction.
“Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. I live in London, though.”
“What are you doing here then?” I was very interested in finding out what was going on inside his mind.
“We are finishing up our next album. It’s the third album. We have a month break from touring at the moment, but I still have a lot of work to do. That’s why I like to come here, it’s so quiet and I can clear my mind. My life is hectic in so many ways but this place balances it out. I like it here.” He stared at the ocean for some time. I studied his face. His sharp cheekbones captivated me. His jawline was sharper than a knife. His rosa lips looked very dry. His green eyes lit up his face. He was a piece of art that had me completely captivated and enchanted.
“There’s something about you, Aubrey. I haven’t been able to get you off my mind these past 24 hours.” He said and looked at me. It was like I was in a movie. I didn’t know how to respond to what he just said to me.
“There’s something about you too. And I want to find out what it is.” I stared into his beautiful eyes. He smirked. I had seen that smirk several times.
“Let me take you out for lunch, please” he said very impulsive. I was getting too involved with him but every part of me wanted to accept his invite and I didn’t fight it.
“I would love to.”
“When are you free?”
“I don’t have any plans really. I’m free anytime. I don’t know if that is bad” I said and sighed. I really had no plans intended the next four weeks.
“Let’s do it today then. Text me your address and I’ll be there at 1 pm.” I texted him the address and we sat in the sand talking for nearly two hours. He was very down to earth and I really liked that about him. He was one of the nicest persons I had ever met.
“I should get back now before my sister and best friend get worried about me.” It was nearly 7.30 am and I had to get back before Sarah and Louise would wake up.
“I should go too. I’ll pick you up at 1. It was nice talking to you.” We both stood up and he gave me a hug. I felt electric when he touched me. He smelled very good, my god. He pulled away from me and that familiar smirk appeared on his face once again. I had to go the same way as him but I went another way for it not to be awkward to go the same way because we had already said our goodbyes.

“Who was he?” Louise asked me. She was right behind the door as I entered the house.
“Jesus, Louise. You scared me!” I was busted. I didn’t want anyone to know about my little rendezvous with Harry.
“Who?” I asked her and tried to play dumb but I knew there was no way out of this.
“Don’t try to fool me. I saw you with that guy on the beach. You woke me up when you left at 5 am, thank you by the way. Anyways I went out on the balcony and looked at the beach and there you were with some guy. And I also saw the way he hugged you ten minutes ago.”
“He’s no one. Just a guy I met yesterday. He’s just my friend”
“What’s his name?” She was extremely curious.
“Okay, okay. His name is Harry. He is the guy from One Direction. The one you said you would jump on.” I laughed at my own joke. I thought it was extremely funny.
“Harry Styles from One Direction? Are you kidding me?” She almost yelled at me.
“Relax. No, I’m not kidding you. He’s very nice and we’re going out for lunch today.” She shook her head and went into the living room and I followed her in there.

I changed my outfit, as there was only one hour until Harry would pick me up. I wore a pair of loose jeans and a pink crop top. I didn’t want to be over the top, it wasn’t even a date. At least I didn’t think it was. I wanted to be very casual. I did my makeup and placed a pair of sunglasses in my hair. The doorbell rang and I practically ran downstairs to open. I stopped right before I opened the door and made sure that everything was fine. I don’t know why I reacted this way. I opened the door and there he stood.
“Hey, are you ready to go?” he asked me and smiled. I was actually very nervous to go. What if anyone saw us? I was sure someone would see us.
“As ready as I can be.” I closed the door behind me and followed him to his car.
“So where are you taking me?” I asked him as he started the car.
“To a very nice restaurant in L.A. It’ll take an hour to get there, but I figured you wouldn’t mind.”
“Oh, I don’t mind. We can get to know each other more on the way, then.” He quickly turned his head to me and smiled but he quickly concentrated on the road again. The conversation was never ending. We talked and laughed and I forgot about all of my problems. How could he be such a nice person? He continued to amaze me.

“We’re here. We are going to take the back entrance or fans will mob us. I’m used to it, but you’re obviously not and I want to save you from a bad experience.” I smiled at him as he stopped the car.

“Wow, this is a nice place!” I said as I looked around in the restaurant. It was fancier than what I was used to. We shared a nice meal and I laughed so much that it made my stomach hurt. He was such a funny guy.
“Harry they know you’re in here” A waiter came and said to Harry, as we were about to leave.
“I’m going out there. You can wait here if you want to, but I’m going to take a few pictures with them.” He was so nice to his fans. It would have been easy for him to just take the back entrance and not pay any attention to the fans, but he wasn’t like that.
“I’ll just look in the stores down the street.” I might as well do something while I was in L.A.



I followed him outside but I didn’t stay in the area with the fans. He spent about 30 minutes with the fans and I really admired that he was so unselfish in every situation. He got the car and picked me up from the street. I’m sure some fans had taken pictures of us but no one knew whom I was. I could might as well been one of his employees. He drove me back to the house in Malibu. We were holding outside on the street in front of my house.
“We’re here” he said and looked me deep in the eyes. A part of me wanted him to kiss me. I didn’t know exactly what was going on but I was falling for him in a way I had never fallen for anyone else before.
“Thank you for everything, it has been an amazing day Harry!”
“You’re very welcome. I enjoy your company and I hope to see you again very soon.” He licked his dry lips, as he looked me in the eyes. I couldn’t help but smile.
“Likewise.” I shut the car door and waved at him as he drove away.

“You’ve been gone for a long time!” Sarah said and smirked.
“Oh stop it! He took me to L.A. It was a long drive.”
“Did you kiss him?” Louise asked and she and Sarah were on the ground laughing.
“Ha ha, very funny. No, we did not. I told you we are just friends and we just met.” I went up to my room and closed the door. I needed to clear my mind. I was getting too attached to Harry and I didn’t mean to. I was very confused by everything; My mind, my feelings, my everything. What were Harry’s intentions with me?
