Epilogue

"You lads are really wasting my time on things like this."

Harry Styles leaned back against the back of the chair, his lips pursed in annoyance. The reason is, his four best friends suddenly called him and said there was something very important that Harry could not miss. But nothing happened when Harry got to the place they intended. In fact, Harry has already canceled a meeting with an important client for Styles Enterprise.

“Come on, Harry. We are trying desperately to keep calling you, but you are too arrogant and won't respond! ” Louis grumbled, wrapping his arms around Lily's shoulders.

Actually, it's not that Harry doesn't want to meet his four friends, it's just that later they will be busy with their respective partners. In the end, Harry would be there alone, not knowing what to do.

It's been four years since Jason last texted Harry about Taylor being claimed dead. And in the past four years, Harry doesn't even have the slightest interest in dating the girl who has actually been partnered up with Harry, a twenty-five year old man who is now an executive manager at Styles Enterprise.

"I thought we will spend time together, I mean just you and us, without having to bring each of your girls." Harry folded his arms across his chest.

Niall grinned before wrapping his arm around the shoulder of the girl sitting beside him. "Looks like you got karma because you used to call me Jones."

Harry rolled his eyes. The girl who has only been dating Niall for the past two months named Hope turned around and raised an eyebrow. "I thought your surname was Horan, not Jones."

Niall chuckled, as did the others, except for Harry. "No, Babe. In the past, Harry often teased me and often used to call me Jones, which was an inside joke for us that means single forever. Now, look who's the Jones of our group."

"Shut up, Horan."

Everyone chuckled and Harry could only snort in annoyance. It seems that his friends have never stopped teasing Harry. Well, four years have passed and not much has changed. The five young men have graduated from their university and started life with their respective expertise. Harry with his Styles Enterprise, of course. Then, Liam, who started out as a young producer, looked for unique talents which he later developed and helped people recognize them. He knows a lot about the music in England, even in America. Liam ended up still being in a relationship with Michelle, until now, they have been in a relationship for three years together.

Louis became one of the famous football players in the Premier League, side by side with many of England's mainstay football players. Louis is also still with Lily. Then, Niall started to take his liking seriously. Niall loves food and it's no wonder he opened a restaurant that was actually not far from the Styles Enterprise building. Niall's current lover, Hope, is one of the loyal customers at Horan's Resto. Both of them are also food addicts, so it's no wonder why they are currently together.

The last but not the least is Zayn. Zayn is now a traveler as well as an abstract painter. His obscure painting has been bought by one painting collector at a fantastic price. Nearly five hundred thousand pounds. Sometimes, Zayn also invites his girl, Giselle, to explore the world with him. Speaking of Zayn and Giselle, the couple is still yet to come. So at their table, there were currently three couples and one  single.

"Where's Zayn? Wasn't he the one who called me to come? ” Harry asked suddenly, making their heads turn to him.

Louis glanced at the wristwatch wrapped around his wrist. "Maybe he's still adjusting at the London and Bali. He just came back from Bali yesterday."

Before long, a voice could be heard coming from behind Harry and Harry knew who had just came. However, because he was so annoyed with Zayn, Harry ignored the arrival of the young man.

"Hey, sorry I'm late. I had to pick up Giselle first at her apartment. I hope you lads wouldn't mind if Giselle is with her friend. They went to the restroom." Zayn immediately pulled the empty chair beside Harry with a big smile on his lips. Zayn patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Hey, mate! Long time no see, eh?"

Harry rolled his eyes before squinting at Zayn. Zayn just chuckled with amusement. Before long, Giselle arrived with her friend in a hurry.

"Hey, sorry to keep you guys waiting for so long. The restroom is full." Giselle reasoned and everyone nodded understandingly, Harry didn't care and pulled out his phone from his pocket. Harry started playing his favorite game as of the moment, which made him forget all the ruckus and chatter surrounding him.

“Would you mind if my friend joins us for today? She's currently on vacation in London, as well as visiting her younger brother who is returning to continue his Masters at Oxford. You can call her T."

Giselle's voice seemed very cheerful, before pointing at the cute girl who was standing beside her. The whole table was silent, let alone Liam who stared directly at Zayn with wide eyes. Zayn just smiled knowingly before nudging Harry's shoulder.

Harry cursed softly and understood the meaning of Zayn's nudge, to pay attention to what's happening around him instead focusing on his phone. Harry tried desperately to smile warmly, and it just turned out making him look like he was forcing a smile, which looked bad to Giselle's friend.

Harry turned off his phone and placed it in his pocket before turning to look at Giselle's newly arrived friend. However, when Harry realized who Giselle's friend was, the world seemed to stop. Their eyes met. Her lips that's coated in crimson red lipstick were beautifully curved before she gently greeted an old friend.

"Hey, Harry."

"T-Taylor?!"

━━

"I also don't understand why I survived, I was in a coma for a few months."

Harry's eyes widened at the words of the girl who immediately chuckled with amusement. The girl patted Harry's shoulder lightly as she continued to say, “You know what? I'm so grateful I was only in a coma for almost seven months. Rather than having to die before I can make my dreams come true."

A faint smile appeared on Harry's lips. His green eyes had never left the girl sitting opposite him at this time. A beautiful girl with shoulder-length blonde hair and her ocean-like eyes that never failed to fascinate Harry. Harry was no stranger to those azure irises, but. . . this time was very different.

He's real, she's real and everything is finally real. Taylor Swift is real. Taylor paused, finding Harry's gaze focused at her for the whole time, his eyes never left hers and he didn't even blink.

"Are you going to keep looking at me like that? You're. . . you're scaring me." Taylor frowned and at that moment Harry chuckled with amusement.

"Why are you scared? I'm not doing anything to you. Besides, my face is handsome and understated. Very far from being creepy. " Taylor rolled her eyes at Harry's words.

Harry sighed. “I don't care what happened before. I really don't want to remember what I've done in the past. I'm grateful, I just had amnesia because of the accident. "

Taylor's eyes narrowed. "Just had amnesia?"

Harry chuckled again. "And you also had a coma for seven months."

Taylor also chuckled with amusement when she realized that Harry had just copied her words. Harry folded his hands on the table and returned to his focus on the girl in front of him.

"Tell me, why did you just come now, not since you realized? Hasn't it been nearly four years that you let me think that you died and left me unable to sleep blaming myself for everything? I haven't even eaten for almost a week after hearing the news about your death. " The young man's eyes closed before continuing, “I'm truly desperate and continue to be haunted by guilt and regret. You know what's worst? I've tried to kill myself several times, even though I failed."

Taylor lowered her head before looking back at Harry closely. "Forgive me. When I realized there wasn't much I could do. I still have to undergo treatment and be under the supervision of a doctor for a year. After that, my parents weren't allowed to do much activity either, but I started to continue my education. I went back to Los Angeles and graduated almost two years longer than you, I think." A faint smile appeared on the girl's lips. "Then, one week after graduation, I started to pursue my craft. I work as a photographer as well as a photography designer, until finally I met Giselle who is my model."

Taylor also folded her arms across the table, staring closely at Harry. “I saw many opportunities to meet you after knowing that Giselle is Jason's best friend who is also Zayn's girlfriend whom I heard as one of your best friends before yesterday, it's just that I'm not ready. I wasn't ready yesterday, but Giselle forced me. "

"What makes you not ready to meet me?" Harry raised an eyebrow, smirking seductively.

Taylor rolled her eyes before grinning. "At first, I thought I would run out of words and be unable to speak when I meet you, but it doesn't seem like I was speechless at first." Harry puffed out his cheeks and Taylor chuckled triumphantly.

"How long have you been in London?" Harry changed the subject.

Taylor pursed her lips. "Are you kicking me out?"

Harry shook his head before grinning again. "How could I kick you out, in fact I want to keep you from going, Babe."

Taylor lowered her head, hiding the evident blush on her cheeks. Harry stifled a laugh. "Hey, I'm serious. Until when are you staying in London?" Harry returned to the subject.

“The day after tomorrow. I have to get back to Nashville." Taylor answered quickly and raised her pretty face.

Harry looked thoughtful before nodding. "That looks like enough."

"Enough?" Taylor asked, not understanding what he meant.

"I'm taking time off for a week." Harry answered quickly.

Taylor raised an eyebrow. "Paid leave? For what occasion? Is it because you want to spend more time with me, before I go back to Nashville?" Taylor teased and Harry smiled back teasingly.

"That's one of them, but I have other plans."

"Wait, are you serious? I'm just kidding, you don't need to take your time off just to do. . . that?" Taylor scratched the nape of her neck, confused about what to say.

Harry laughed at Taylor's reaction. Harry's hands reached out and grabbed Taylor's hand, grasping it tightly. Harry could only help but laugh again when he realized that the sweat on Taylor's hands felt so cold, just like ice.

"Tomorrow, all day long, you are mine and the day after tomorrow, we will―"

"Wait! The day after tomorrow? We? What do you mean?"

Harry winked. "I'll come with you to Nashville."

"And why is that? Why are you coming with me? " Taylor made a confused face.

"To meet your parents, of course."

"To meet my parents? For what" Taylor asked so confusedly and completely clueless and Harry began to growl. Harry closed his eyes and controlled his breathing when he heard Taylor laugh and made him open his eyes again.

"Hey, I'm not that stupid! I understand where you're  going, but isn't it too fast?” Taylor smiled faintly, making Harry hold his breath.

“No, I believe in the saying the sooner the better. And now, you wouldn't have another chance to get away from me. I won't take the risk of losing you again."

The girl's cheeks flushed in a deep red red. This time she didn't hide it anymore, because it was no use to hide it of how red it was. Instead, she pressed her lips onto his, catching him by surprise, but it didn't take a second later for him to kiss back.
