The Reinvention of Harry Styles
Chapter 24
(Warning: There's a bit of sex in this chapter!)
Molly turned in front of the mirror to admire her outfit before skipping into Harry’s room to show it off. “Does this look okay?” She asked and twirled around.
“Yeah, I mean, it’s just Niall - we don’t need to be too fancy.” Harry shrugged and pulled on a shirt.
“‘Just Niall’? Just Niall?” Molly’s jaw dropped. “Okay, maybe for you, he’s just your mate, but I’m excited to hear his new music!”
Harry smirked and cocked his head to the side. “Tell me, were you this excited to hear my new album?”
“Of course! I stayed up until midnight to buy it as soon as it came out!” Molly grinned. “I mean, I knew I was getting a copy with the ticket I bought, but I wanted to hear it right away.”
“Wait, you bought a ticket to come see me?” Harry started to laugh and shook his head.
“Yeah…” Molly blushed. “My friends and I all wanted to see you again. And Niall, and the rest of the guys, too.” Molly added.
“Which show is it? Are you still going to go?” Harry looked like he wasn’t sure if he wanted to laugh or be embarrassed.
“New York, and, yeah, probably. It’ll be fun to see my friends.” Molly smiled, but noticed Harry’s expression didn’t change. “That won’t bother you, will it? Having me in the audience?”
“No, I suppose it shouldn’t make a difference, since you would have probably been there anyway, like backstage or something.” He thought about it for a moment.
“We should get going,” Molly checked the time, and Harry agreed. He still wasn’t sure how he felt about Molly and her friends coming to his show, but he tried to put that out of his head and enjoy Niall’s concert.
When they arrived, they took the back entrance and waited back stage until the house lights went down so they could be seated in the VIP area without being seen. Harry knew it was probably just precautionary, but he’d hate to distract from Niall at all.
While they were waiting backstage, Molly heard that unmistakable Irish accent behind them, and she froze.
“Hey Harry, glad you could make it, mate,” he said and Harry spun around to greet him. “It’s good to see you.”
Molly turned, making sure her facial expression was normal, and tried not to fangirl too much. There, in front of her, was Niall Horan, former blond member of One Direction. Molly’s inner 16-year-old was freaking out, but she tried to remain calm, or at least maintain some semblance of being normal.
“It’s nice to see you too. This is my girlfriend, Molly,” Harry introduced her, and put his arm around her back.
“Hi,” Molly held out her hand to shake, but Niall drew her into a hug. Molly bit her lip to keep from squealing, but getting a hug from actual ray of sunshine Niall was too much for her.
“I’m sorry, I’m just so excited to see you it’s been over three years since my last 1D concert and this is just so much!” She said quickly as she came out of the hug, and stopped to take a breath. “And I’m very happy to meet you,” she added once she was a bit more collected.
“So she’s a fan?” Niall’s wide eyes exchanged a glance with Harry before he burst out laughing. “Harry, you are the last person I’d expected to date a fan. Of the five of us, I thought for sure it’d be me, or maybe Liam, but never in a million years did I expect to see Harry Styles dating a One Direction fan. You must be very special, Molly,” he said with a smile, and she felt another fangirl attack coming on.
“She’s certainly something,” Harry answered, and decided perhaps Molly was exactly what he needed in his audience. Someone came to get Niall, and he said goodbye to Harry and Molly.
“I hope you like the show; can’t wait to see you on tour Harry!” Niall called and they waved. Molly, Harry, and the few friends they’d brought with them (so it wouldn’t look like a date if they were spotted) were escorted to their seats.
“Sorry if I embarrassed you back there, I don’t know what came over me.” Molly whispered to Harry.
“How come I didn’t get a greeting like that when we first met?” Harry joked, though he did feel a little jealous.
“Ha!” Molly snorted. “You should have seen me 10 minutes before I arrived for that interview. I was running late anyway from a meeting, but I had to stop and pinch myself to make sure it was happening. My uber driver probably thought I was crazy because I was shaking and kept making this high-pitched squealing sound.”
Harry snickered and turned to look at her. “I would have loved to have seen that.”
“That would have been awkward for me, not to mention unprofessional,” Molly commented, and the lights went completely out. “I think it’s starting!” She whispered excitedly to Harry.
Neither of them were sure what to expect, beyond having heard ‘Slow Hands’ and ‘This Town’, and the few songs Niall had shown Harry over the years. They were both pleasantly surprised, and Molly calmed down a little after a few songs. Everything was going smoothly, until he came to the first song in the encore near the end.
“The next song is new to my setlist, and I’m sure some of you have heard this before. I have a special friend in the audience here tonight that I’m hoping will come up and sing it with me; ladies and gents, this is ‘Fool’s Gold’!” The audience erupted in cheers, and Niall looked up at where they were sitting.
“Harry, he’s clearly talking about you,” Molly whispered. “Unless Louis or Liam are here too…”
Harry shook his head. “Nah, I’m not even warmed up, I haven’t rehearsed it with him-”
“I think he needs some encouragement,” Niall said to the audience. “Can I get some applause for Mr. Harry Styles?” The audience shrieked and began chanting his name.
“You’ve got to do it now,” Molly grinned and nudged him, but Harry shook his head. “Come on, at least do it for the fans, if not for me. It is my favorite song on ‘Four’.”
“Is it, well,” Harry cleared his throat and grabbed a drink of water, as the crowd continued chanting ‘Harry’.
“Harry, come on down here,” Niall said. “It’ll be like old times…” Niall smiled, and Harry couldn’t resist those blue eyes.
“You owe me,” he glanced at Molly as he got up, and shook his head with a grin.
Molly was giddy with excitement when Harry finally made it to the stage and was handed a microphone.
“Is this thing on?” He said into the mic, and the audience cheered. Niall gave Harry some instructions, and they decided Harry would sing his normal part in the song, and Niall would do the rest.
It was very odd seeing just Niall and Harry singing this song, accompanied by just Niall’s guitar. It was like a mini 1D reunion, and Molly nearly cried a few times. She felt a little guilty about it, but Molly was surprised how good Harry sounded, considering he said he hadn’t warmed up or practiced. He and Niall sounded very good together, and when the song ended the audience again cheered loudly. Harry waved, and thanked Niall before leaving the stage and making his way back up to Molly.
“That was beautiful,” Molly whispered to him when he sat down, but didn’t get a chance to say a anything else before the next song started.
As the show ended, Harry and Molly were escorted out the back entrance before too many fans left. Molly talked about her favorite songs on their way home, and said she couldn’t wait for Niall’s album to come out so she could hear them again. Harry was a bit quiet, so she turned to him and watched his face as he stared out the window.
“Would you have wanted to come see me if you hadn’t heard the album first?” Harry asked Molly after a moment.
“Yeah, probably. I know my friends and I wanted to see you, regardless of what you’re doing. I mean, I think most people who bought tickets just want to see you, and don’t necessarily care about the music as much. But you’re album’s okay, so don’t worry about it.” Molly reassured him.
“It’s okay? That’s good,” Harry sounded a bit sarcastic. “What about Niall’s album, is it okay too?”
“Yes, Harry, but it’s not a competition.” Molly decided to change the subject. “That was nice of you to sing ‘Fool’s Gold’ with him; you sounded pretty good.”
“Thanks, I wish I could have warmed up a bit more, but I guess it turned out okay.”
“Are you going to play any One Direction songs on tour?” Molly asked, and Harry’s lips curled into a tiny smile.
“Actually, I was going to do ‘Fool’s Gold’.” He admitted and laughed. “We even rehearsed it a couple times, but I guess I won’t do that one now.”
“Really? I didn’t know that. Do you have another song in mind?” Molly asked, and realized maybe that was why Harry sounded better than she thought he would.
Harry shrugged. “I did ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ a while ago, so I might do it again.”
“What about ‘Where Do Broken Hearts Go’? Or you can do ‘Hey Angel’ to go with ‘Only Angel’! Either way, you can get Niall back by asking him to one of your shows, and making him come up on stage with you,” Molly laughed.
“I will definitely have to do that,” Harry smiled. “And, speaking of getting back at him, I believe you owe me.”
“Yes, I do, and don’t worry - I have something in mind.” Molly smiled cheekily.
“Oh really?” Harry’s eyebrow slid up. “Well we’re almost home.”
“Maybe we can get started now,” Molly leaned over to kiss him. She was glad they had a driver that night, and that the partition was up for some privacy, because by the time they got to his house they certainly needed it. Molly stopped in the entryway by the table Harry usually left his keys on, and she cleared it off a bit before hopping up on it. Harry did not question this act, and continued what they’d started in the car.
"Hey I think you're forgetting something..." Molly stopped Harry as he was about to slide into her. He looked up at her in the dim light and questioningly raised an eyebrow.
"Condom?" Molly reminded him, and Harry pouted, but Molly wouldn't give in. "We haven't been dating long enough for that, so: yes, condom."
Harry smiled slyly and reached over to a decorative wooden box on the table and pulled out a condom.
"You keep a box of condoms on the table in your entryway, which happens to be at just the perfect height?" Molly bit her lip. "Harry, you are naughtier than I thought."
"For occasions just like this," he answered in a raspier tone than usual, and Molly pulled him back toward her.
Harry glanced up with a smirk, eyes dark with lust, as he rolled the condom onto himself.
"You know," Molly interrupted Harry as he was yet again about to start. "This is like our first time. As a couple, I mean."
"Oh, uh," Harry leaned back a bit. "Did you want to do something special? Like, light some candles, or at least go upstairs?"
"No, I'm too impatient. I've been waiting for this for days and I'm not leaving this spot until you have me screaming your name."
Harry did not need any more instruction than that, and did just as he was told.
***
Several days later, Harry came home from rehearsal and heard the unmistakable sound of Molly singing her favorite song off his album while in the bath. He smiled to himself as he kicked off his shoes and started to unbutton his shirt.
‘I’ve got to get that girl to take some vocal lessons,’ he thought with a cheeky grin and headed upstairs toward her bathroom, quickly stripping the rest of his clothes. He opened the door to her room and stood in the doorway to the bathroom to watch her for a moment. When she still didn’t see him, he decided to join in.
“Turns out she’s a devil in between the sheets, and there’s nothing she can do about it,” Harry sang, perhaps a bit more dramatically than necessary, and Molly nearly jumped out of the bath.
“Harry! You scared me. And, you’re naked!” Molly looked away. “Why am I averting my eyes? You’re my boyfriend. What are you doing?”
Still giggling, Harry came up to the side of the tub. “I thought I’d finally join you in the bath.”
“Oh,” Molly sat up to make room. “Hop in.”
“Move forward a bit, I want to sit behind you,” he suggested, and Molly scooted toward the middle of the tub. Harry slowly got in the bath and nestled behind her so they could cuddle. “You can come closer, I can’t quite reach my arms around you.”
“Okay,” Molly carefully moved backward until she ran into him, and he engulfed her in his arms.
“You feel very tense, are you stressed?” Harry asked and ran his hand along her shoulders.
“No, not really,” Molly tried to relax. “I guess I’m a little anxious about your upcoming tour, but, that’s probably nothing compared to what you’re feeling.”
“I am very excited to get back out there, but you’re right, I’m nervous, too.” Harry admitted. “This is really when we’re going to be able to see if all the changes we’ve made to my image have paid off.”
“I guess it’s like your first day on the job, and you want to make a good impression,” Molly suggested.
“That’s exactly it,” Harry nodded.
“Except, this isn’t any normal job,” Molly tried to turn so she could see him a little better.
“I really wish we were normal sometimes, so we could go out do things like regular people,” Harry sighed and wrapped his arm around Molly’s shoulders again
“Speak for yourself, bro, I’m normal as fuck,” Molly laughed, but Harry’s stare seemed distant, and she guessed he was not in a joking mood. “What ‘normal’ things did you have in mind?”
“Things will be a bit hectic on tour, and I’m not sure how much time we’ll have to spend together - to do stuff like this - so really wanted to do something nice for you before the tour starts. But, I can’t even take you out for dinner without everyone seeing us, and risking exposing you,” Harry sighed.
“That’s fine, Harry; I’d rather eat take-out hidden at home for the rest of my life than have the public know I’m your girlfriend.” Molly explained, but quickly amended, “not that I’m embarrassed to be your girlfriend. I just don’t want to face everything that comes with that.”
“You don’t have to say that just to make me feel better,” Harry shook his head.
“I’m not, I mean it! I know what happens to girls you’re seen with, and I don’t want that kind of attention.” Molly thought for a moment. “You know, in many fanfics I’ve read, you’ll just buy out a whole restaurant for the night to take your girl out so you two can have some privacy.”
“Really,” Harry grinned. “That’s...romantic, but I’m not sure we have enough time to plan all of that, and it might be a bit much.”
Molly shrugged. “Just a suggestion.”
“That does give me an idea, though,” Harry slowly raised his eyebrow.
“What is it?”
“I’m not telling, not after you ruined the surprise Niall concert,” Harry smirked.
“That wasn’t a surprise, I’d asked you about it days before,” Molly reminded him.
“Whatever. Maybe go visit Gemma for the day, and don’t come back until 8 tonight. And, can you wear that dress you wore to the ‘Dunkirk ‘premiere?” Harry added with a sly grin.
Molly’s eyebrow shot up. “This is going to be exciting.”
“Hopefully,” Harry shrugged.
As requested, Molly left to visit Gemma and the two spent the evening doing her hair and makeup for whatever it was Harry had planned.
Molly turned in front of the mirror to admire her outfit before skipping into Harry’s room to show it off. “Does this look okay?” She asked and twirled around.
“Yeah, I mean, it’s just Niall - we don’t need to be too fancy.” Harry shrugged and pulled on a shirt.

Notes
I think Niall has had ‘Fool’s Gold’ on his setlist longer than this, but I thought it would be cute if he introduced it at this show. I got the idea from Niall’s LA show where he asked Louis up on stage for Fool’s Gold : )
I’ve been editing the book I wrote, and came across a sex scene and remembered ‘I can write sex scenes’ (not very well,) so that inspired me to write the ‘table’ scene ;)
(The book can be found on my main wattpad account if anyone’s interested: https://www.wattpad.com/story/121958213-oxterionn-of-love-and-fast-cars )
And lastly, I’ve been meaning to do an ‘ask the author’ kind of thing for a while, so if you have any questions about the story, or if you’re confused about anything, or have any other questions for me, please comment or send me a message! I’ll try to answer them all, if I can, and if it’s something that could be clarified within the story, I’ll try to work it into the next couple of chapters.
As always, thank you for reading, commenting, and voting!! : D
@En_1960
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that :D
