Twenty-Two
Jessi
"Harry?" I asked as I was washing my hands. I knew something was bothering him. I was hoping he wanted to talk about it now.
"Yeah?" He replied.
"Do you want to talk now?" I asked, drying my hands on the towel. He didn't answer.
"H?" I said a little louder. Still no answer. I walked to the bedroom and saw him fast asleep on the bed. He looked so peaceful. I walked over and took off his trainers and socks. I smiled as his feet disappeared and he curled up into a ball, hugging my pillow.
"I love you." I kissed his forehead and walked to the living room area, letting him sleep. I picked up my phone and sat down on the sofa.
"Are you awake?" I sent to Lori.
"Yup."
"What time is it there?"
"11pm. Skype?"
I walked to the room to grab my laptop from my bag. Harry was still asleep, he hadn't moved an inch from where I left him. I hurried back to the sofa and rushed to call Lori. I was excited to see her. I missed her. The longest we hadn't seen each other before was a few days and now I was heading into my second week without her.
"Hey Mrs. S!" She smiled as she answered.
"Mrs. S?" Where did that come from? She laughed.
"Sorry. It's what the guys call you, I guess it kinda stuck in my head." She grinned.
"I've never heard them call me that. You look pretty. You going out?" I asked.
"Yeah. Harry doesn't like it. Well, to be truthful I think Harry does in fact like it, he just doesn't think you'll like it. I was out having dinner with my parents. You look ridiculously sweaty, what have you been doing?" She moved her head closer to the screen.
"Why would he think I wouldn't like it? Oh, I get it! The S stands for Styles." I laughed.
"Well duh! What did you think it stood for? And I'm still waiting on the steamy sex deets to explain the sheen!" She grinned.
"Yeah Lori, I had amazing sex with Harry and then rushed out here to Skype you. I've been at the gym with Liam and Harry." I shook my head.
"You realise you fulfilled about a million girls' dream, right? Oh, and how hot is Liam's body? He's so jacked." She giggled.
"I didn't really notice, he had a t-shirt on. He can do one handed pull ups though. Did you know him and Soph broke up? He's so sad, it breaks my little heart." I said.
"Yeah. Niall told me. Are you as worried as me? I mean if Liam and Soph can't make it work then..." She trailed off.
"Actually, I'm not." It surprised me too, but it wasn't freaking me out.
"What the fuck! Did you say you're not worried? You? The girl who freaks out if Harry so much as gifts you a piece of paper!" She mocked me.
"Yeah. I'm sad for Liam, he was crazy about her but I don't think it affects mine and Harry's relationship. Harry's not Liam and I'm not Sophia. I don't compare us to anyone else and I think we're in a good place, even after our fight last night."
"Wait? What? you guys had a fight?" She exclaimed.
"Yeah. He got super jealous because I had a guy's number written on my hand. It was kinda sweet actually."
"Back up, back up! What? Whose number? What guy? Jessi, what have you been up to?" She was freaking out.
"The guy I told you about, Henry. The one whose sisters I sat with to get away from Teen Vogue Bitch! He wrote his number on my hand so I could find him if we got separated when I helped him get his sisters out the stadium." I replied.
"Yeah, sure he did Jess. He has a crush on you. You're so blind to guys hitting on you." She laughed. "So Harry was pissed? Can't say I blame him."
"Furious. He completely freaked out, but he made me so mad because he wouldn't let me explain."
"Oh God! Jess, please tell me you didn't do that hideous crying thing." She held her head in her hands.
"Lori, I told you I can't help it. If I could stop it don't you think I would?" I sighed.
"How bad are we talking? Cute tear-stained face? Or insane, sound like you're choking, nose snorting crying?" She said.
"I told you, I can't help it." I repeated.
"Oh Jess. And he still wants to be with you after witnessing that horror? You better get him tied down and never let him get away." She laughed.
"Hilarious." I laughed too. I told her more about our fight, all about the Teen Vogue job, everything I knew about Liam and Soph, about Niall's drunken visit with Louis and Liam. She told me about her work at the studio, more stories about her week with the guys. We talked and laughed for ages. It felt so good.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" I heard Harry's voice behind me.
"Whatever you do, don't move your head, unless you want me to see Harry in all his glory!" Lori grinned.
"Relax he has boxers on. You do, don't you?" I yelled, not moving my head just in case.
"Yep. Sorry Lori. Ha that rhymes. Black ones, Jessi's favourite." I grinned as I felt his hands on my shoulders. He gently kissed my head before walking around the sofa and sitting down beside me.
"When are you guys going to make your relationship official? I'm sick of always being asked is Harry dating Jessi? Does Harry love Jessi? I want to tell people how great you guys are together." Lori smiled.
"But she's my favourite secret." Harry grinned, kissing my cheek.
"OK. My cue to leave. We're having lunch the second you get back." She smiled.
"For sure. I love you. I'll call you later."
"BYE!" We all yelled and I closed my laptop.
"When are you getting back?" Harry asked before I had a chance to speak.
"In a week. Columbia gave me some time off." I said. A huge grin spread over his face.
"You will be here for all of our Australian leg of the tour!" He looked so happy.
"Hey, you didn't tell me McBusted were your support act." I smiled, turning to face him.
"Do you like them?" He smiled.
"Are you kidding? I drove my Mum crazy with McFly when I was little, I was convinced I would grow up and marry Dougie Poynter." I laughed.
"Okay... so keep Jess away from Doug for a week. Got it!" Harry teased.
"What? No! He's so dreamy." I smiled, remembering the posters all over my old bedroom.
"Hey... I am still here you know." Harry whined.
"Lori says he looks like an older you." I smiled.
"So what you're saying is I will grow up to be dreamy?" He raised an eyebrow at me.
"Just imagine if you grow up to be a Dougie, urgh!" I groaned throwing myself down on the sofa.
"Whatever." He sulked, getting up off the sofa.
"Hey Styles! You know I'm only teasing." I yelled, leaning over the back of the sofa to grab him.
"Prove it" He said, as I climbed onto the back of the sofa, wrapping my arms around him.
"How?" I smiled.
"Tell me you think I'm handsome." He pouted.
"I, Jessi Monroe, do solemnly swear that I find you, Harry Edward Styles -" I paused, placing kisses on his neck, "Earth shatteringly handsome." I grinned.
"Now tell me I'm more handsome than Dougie," He screwed up his face as he said his name.
"You are more handsome than Dougie." I replied.
"That's better." He grinned, sliding his hands under my vest top. I was so hot for him right now but I couldn't resist teasing him. He was too adorable when he was sulking.
"Harry?" I asked.
"Hmm..." He hummed against my neck. A moan leaving my lips.
"Do you know if Dougie is single?" I chuckled.
"That's it. No more Harry for you." He pushed me gently, causing me to lose my balance and fall backwards tumbling off the sofa. I got up and chased him towards the bedroom.
"Please don't take my Harry away. I need him. He's the only one who can satisfy me!" I whined, not noticing he'd stopped so I crashed right into the back of him. He spun round and crashed his lips on mine. His tongue brushed slowly along my bottom lip, begging for entry which I quickly gave. His tongue massaged mine gently, forcing a moan from my lips. He briefly broke the kiss so he could pull my top over my head. Once he'd discarded my t-shirt his lips attached back onto mine, our mouths and tongues moving in harmony, moans vibrating across our lips. He slid his hand slowly down my stomach, eventually reaching between my legs.
"That feels so good." I moaned as he rubbed my clit. I screamed as he flung me over his shoulder and carried me into the bedroom. He smacked me on the arse before putting me down on the bed and continuing to undress me. A shiver ran over my body as I felt his mouth on me, sucking and flicking my clit with his tongue. It wasn't long before I was craving more.
"Harry, please!" I begged, gently tugging on his hair.
"Tell me what you want, baby." His voice sounded so sexy. He looked up at me.
"I want you hard and inside me." I gasped as he obliged. His long hard length slowly inching inside me. I squeezed him tight as he thrust slowly and carefully. I brushed my finger over his scalp, his curls tickling my fingers.
"Love it when you do that." He moaned as he kissed my neck.
"Harder." I yelled, my lips hungrily searching for his. I wrapped my legs around his, pulling him deeper, our mouths crashing together. Waves of pleasure quickly took over my body as he thrust harder and deeper.
"Love you, baby." He yelled as he came inside me, pushing me over the edge, my body becoming a twitching mess. He collapsed on top of me and I wrapped my arms around him, as tight as I could manage.
"I love you more." I panted, short of breath but I still held his body close to mine.
"I never want this to end." He whispered, our breathing returning to normal.
"Well there's a shattering revelation, a guy who doesn't want to stop having sex!" I laughed.
"No. I didn't mean that. I mean me and you, us. I don't want us to end." He said, climbing off of me and lying down in bed, looking at me. He looked worried.
"Sweetie, where did that come from? I'm not going anywhere." I said, rolling over so I could kiss his cheek.
"Liam probably thought him and Soph were fine too." He frowned.
"Is this why you were being weird in the gym this morning?" I asked, my fingers gently tracing circles over his chest.
"If Liam and Sophia can't make the crazy long distance thing work, then why should we be able to." He turned his head away from me.
"Hey, look at me, Styles!" I smiled as his gorgeous green eyes fixed on mine. "We're not them. Just because it didn't work for them doesn't mean things won't work for us."
"You're not freaking out." He grinned.
"I'm not." I smiled as he kissed my nose. I heard both our phones ringing. "Your phone's closer." I said, glancing to the bedside table. He reached over and picked it up.
"Hey." He answered. "Fine." He sat down the phone and put it on speakerphone.
"Hi Jess, can you hear me?" Niall said.
"Yeah. I can hear you." I smiled.
"Jess, come have breakfast with us. We're all in Liam's room. Bring Harry." Louis yelled.
"Okay. We'll have to get ready first, we'll be about ten minutes or so." I laughed.
"See. I told you they'd be shagging, it's literally all they do." Niall exclaimed.
"How would you know what we do?" Harry scoffed.
"All I'm saying is I'm not having the room beside you guys next time." Niall said.
"Well don't listen you little Irish perv." Liam said.
"I'm not a perv." Niall complained.
"Just hurry up and get here." Louis yelled and they hung up.
"Louis is talking to me again." I grinned before jumping up and heading for a shower.
-----
I held Harry's hand as we walked along the hallway towards Liam's room.
"You look really pretty." Harry smiled.
"Thanks, you look good too and you smell amazing." I grinned. I slowed down as I noticed the door was ajar and the room was in darkness. Harry knocked on the door and it swung open further but there wasn't a sound coming from the room.
"Harry, I don't like it." I whispered, refusing to go any further.
"It'll be okay Jess, they are probably just hiding and waiting to scare us." Harry said, squeezing my hand tighter. I followed him into the room, my heart was pounding and my hands were sweating.
"Look." Harry said and I followed to where his hand was pointing and my mouth dropped open. There was a small table, with breakfast set up. Candles lighting the table and a bunch of peonies.
"Was this your doing?" I smiled at Harry.
"I wish I could say it was but no, I knew nothing about this." He said walking to the table. They were going to leap out at me any second, I could feel it. I squeezed Harry's hand tighter. I looked down at the table and spotted a red envelope, it had mine and Harry's name on it. I pulled out the note and held it so Harry could read it too.
"H & J,
We hope you enjoy breakfast.
We love you guys.
Liam, Louis & Niall"
"I think this might be one of the nicest things they've ever done." Harry said, pulling out a chair for me. I took one last look around to make sure they weren't hiding somewhere before I sat down.
"Yeah. This is actually pretty sweet of them." I smiled, smelling the flowers.

Harry
"Do you have to wear that?" I asked as I saw the outfit Jess planned to wear tonight. She had on her sparkly chucks, denim shorts, a black shirt and the one thing I'd prefer she wasn't wearing, a McFly t-shirt. Apparently Tom had given it to her when he overheard her talking to Louise about the band earlier. She'd come back so hyper that she'd been talking to Tom Fletcher from McFly. She'd turned into a fangirl and if I was honest, I was a little miffed she wasn't fangirling over me or my band.
"What? Does it look terrible?" She asked, biting her lip nervously.
"I specifically mean this." I pull on the t-shirt.
"Aw Styles, are you jealous?" She grinned, playfully kissing my chest. I secretly liked it when she called me Styles, she mostly did it when she was teasing me.
"Jealous? You know McFly were terrible right? You should be embarrassed to wear that in public." I teased. I remember Gemma listening to them when she was younger. It used to drive me crazy although everything she did used to drive me crazy. Typical siblings, if one of us liked it then the other one hated it.
"Lies.
Living in a fantasy, lies
Don't even know reality, lies
When you start talking, I start walking, lies
Lies, lies, lies."
She sang at me. I guessed it was one of their songs. I gave up trying to convince her.
"Come on." I sighed, taking her hand as we headed to Louis dressing room. I walked in, not bothering to knock, and sat down in the seat we'd been sitting in earlier. Jessi briefly sat down beside me before Louis yelled that he wanted to show her something, she walked over and sat down beside him. I watched as they laughed at whatever he had on his phone screen.
"Hazza?" Liam said, moving into the space Jessi had momentarily been in.
"Yeah?" I replied, still watching Jess.
"Is Jessi wearing a M -"
"Yep." I cut him off.
"Is she wearing that tonight?"
"Yep." I sighed.
"Does she realise they are, well how do I say it nicely, they're a guilty pleasure?" I ignored Zayn's voice in my head going 'people think that about us', he was wrong. We are cool.
"Apparently not. You should hear her talk about them, bro! Honestly, it's like she becomes a 10-year-old girl." I reply.
"No way. This I have to see." He chuckles.
"What do you have to see?" Jessi says, motioning for Liam to move over so she can sit beside me.
"Oh nothing. What's with the t-shirt Jess?" He said as she sat down, her hand linking with mine.
"Oh, it's sick isn't it? Tom Fletcher gave it to me." She grinned wildly.
"What's with using his full name? We all know who Tom is." Liam chuckled.
"Well, I don't know if there's another Tom working here, and I didn't want you thinking any old Tom had given it to me. It was Tom Fletcher, THE Tom Fletcher from the band!" She gushed.
"Sounds like you have a crush, Jess." Liam said.
"On Tom? No. I mean, he's cute and all and those glasses, uh! But no." That 'uh!' noise she made was ringing in my ears. Please don't ask I begged but of course he did.
"So if he's not your favourite then who is? Danny?" She furiously shook her head. "Hang on is it Judd? Do you have a thing for Harry's?" Liam laughed.
"Don't be stupid." She pushed Liam's shoulder. Cheers babe, I love you too, I thought to myself. I was starting to wish I could tune them out but I couldn't stop myself from listening to every word she said. "Obviously I have a thing for a Harry but not all Harrys." Her hand reaching behind her and grabbing my thigh, a lot higher than I think she expected. She lowered her hand slightly and glanced over her shoulder, giving me the 'look' and as always it got me instantly hot for her.
"So that leaves? Who's the other McFly guy? Is it Matt?" Liam continues. She looks back towards him as I move around awkwardly in my chair, trying to get comfortable. Thankfully, nobody was paying me any attention.
"Ew no. My favourite is Dougie. He's like so hot! Like Sun in the sky hot, like your eyes will burn out if you, like, look at him too long, you know?" She gushed.
"Could you, like, fit anymore likes into that statement?" Liam mocked.
"He's amazing." She sighed. I was ready for this to end. Now. I heard a knock at the door, giving it my full attention, trying to ignore Jess rambling on about Doug. I shuffled away from her in case it was somebody here for an interview or something.
"Come in." Louis yells and in walks the one person I did not want to see. Dougie fucking Poynter. Jess is too busy with Liam to notice, I pray it stays that way. Come on, hurry up and tell Lou what you want and get the fuck out! I glare at him as he glances this way. He just gives me a confused look back, probably wondering why I'm pissed at him.
"Hey guys, I heard somebody in here wants to meet me?" He asked, his eyes landing on Jess as she's the only person here he doesn't know. Her head snaps towards him at the sound of his voice.
"Holy fucking shit!" She whispers as she death grips my leg, just above my knee.
"Ow. Jess that hurt!" I complain but she's gone from her seat, walking, no running, towards him. The room has gone quiet. Everyone watching the scene in front of them with puzzled looks on their faces.
"Hi, I'm Doug." He beams.
"I know. You're like the best bass player ever." Her voice has become a squeak, almost.
"I wish I was." He scoffed.
"Shut up! You're amazing and like, the hottest human on the planet." I imagined she was bright red but I couldn't see her face, she had her back to me.
"Well, it is quite warm in here." He smiled at her.
"Oh stop, you know you're gorgeous!" She playfully pushed his shoulder.
"Ok, seriously, who is this? And can I keep her? She's adorable." Doug said, spinning her round to face us and draping his hands around her shoulders.
"She's mine!" I yelled as everyone else yelled her name.
"Seriously Harry? I'm not property, you don't own me." She said, raising her eyebrow at me.
"Jess, we had no idea you were such a massive... loser!" Louis laughed.
"I know. I mean everyone knows that McFly are the third best band playing here tonight!" Niall added.
"Shh. Dougie don't listen to them!" She spun round and covered his ears. I couldn't make myself look away. I was transfixed on the scene as he pulled her hands away but kept holding them in his. "Oh my God! Dougie from McFly is actually standing in front of me!" She yelled, bouncing up and down on her feet.
"Ahhh!" He yelled, jumping up and down with her. It would be a pretty cute scene, if it wasn't my girlfriend, completely losing her shit over another guy.
"You're sure I can't borrow her, H? She'd be amazing for my confidence." He grinned at me.
"Well, she's not doing much for mine at the moment." I sighed, making everyone laugh.
"Well, I have to go. We're due on stage soon. See you later guys, Jess," He grinned, giving Jessi a hug and heading out the door. "Oh one last thing, what's your favourite McFly song, Jess?"
"It's too hard to pick. Transylvania and The Heart Never Lies and I'll stop there because I could actually go on forever." She grinned and he nodded before closing the door behind him. Suddenly everyone was talking at once but I wasn't paying them any attention. Jessi was running towards me.
"Oh my God! Did you see that? I met Dougie." She yelled, jumping into my lap.
"Unfortunately, I saw every second. Broke my heart." I pouted.
"Hey, you know you'll always be my Star Girl." She grinned, locking her lips with mine. Our lips moved as one as our tongues glide past each other and begin their synchronised dance. I was enjoying the kiss until a tidal wave of stuff came flying at us. She pulled away and spun around, still sitting in my lap.
"I will throw you out my dressing room. First, I have to watch you flirt with McHotstuff and now you think you can snog Harry's face off? I'll make this a no girl zone." Louis teased.
"You couldn't even see me kiss Harry." She whined.
"No, but I could see Harry manhandle your ass and I'd rather not see that either." Louis replied.
"Aw but I love it when his big hands are all over my ass." She grins, placing a kiss on my cheek. My cheeks were blushing.
"Jessi!" Louis exclaimed, surprised at her comment.
"Relax Louis. I'm leaving anyway. I'm going to watch McHotstuff play in his band." She smiled, standing up and walking towards the door.
"Hold on. What? You're going where?" I asked, following behind her.
"I'm going to watch McBusted." She smiled at me.
"Where? With who? I thought you were watching us from backstage." I questioned. I liked knowing she was backstage. She was safer there.
"Helen sorted somewhere for me to watch. I might come backstage at some point but I like watching from out there. It's amazing." She grinned.
"Is Matt going with you?" I asked.
"Uhm no." She said flatly.
"Jess, take Matt. I want you to be safe." I said. Annoyed that she hadn't sorted this already. I was disappointed Helen hadn't made sure he was going. I didn't like the thought of her out there by herself and it's not like I could go with her, as much as I might want to.
"I will be safe. I'm not a child. I spent the whole concert out there last night Harry and guess what? Nothing happened." She raised her voice and grabbed for the door handle.
"I wouldn't call some random guy hitting on you nothing." My voice raising to match hers. She slammed the door behind her as she left. I turned around and leaned on it and let out an infuriated sigh why was she always fighting me on this? It was Matt's job to keep her safe, why didn't she get that?
"You're an idiot!" Liam said, shaking me from my thoughts.
"What am I supposed to do Liam? I can't force her to take Matt." I sighed.
"Who cares about Matt? She's right about not needing him. He'd only draw more attention to her anyway." He scoffed.
"So why am I an idiot?" I asked, getting annoyed.
"Your girlfriend is off to watch a band who clearly she loves, by herself, and instead of going and sharing that with her you're here bitching about her not taking Matt, who quite frankly creeps me the fuck out sometimes." Liam says clearly annoyed with me.
"That's not fair. You know I can't go out there. Do you think I want her to be alone?" I yelled.
"Well, maybe if you'd let her speak instead of trying to force pointless security on her." Louis added.
"What the fuck is this? Gang up on Harry hour or something? Fuck sake. I only want my girlfriend to be safe." I yelled.
"Harry, calm down. We're trying to tell you she is safe. She doesn't need Matt or any security but she might quite like some company, maybe her boyfriend?" Niall smiled. Liam and Louis were grinning too.
"Are you guys high? Say she is somehow in this safety bubble where she somehow magically needs no security that still doesn't change the fact that I can't go out there without causing a riot." I say, frustration plain in my voice.
"She's in the little hospitality suite, remember the one we're not using for the concert because it was too small?" Liam said. I vaguely remembered something about that.
"Hmm..." I said, clearly missing something.
"You remember the other reason we're not using it?" Niall added. I paused. Thinking back to that meeting, to be honest I hadn't been paying much attention. Little room. Too small. Think Harry think. No access to the main staircase. It had its own staircase that lead to a tunnel under the stadium and up to the backstage area.
"It doesn't connect to the main staircase!" I exclaimed.
"Now he's getting it!" Louis yelled.
"Soo... what are you still doing here?" Liam asked.
"Oh. Yeah. Right. See you guys later!" I yelled running out the door. I ran past our dressing rooms, past where Lou was set up. I ran past Paul.
"Paul! Secret staircase! Little room. Which direction?" I yelled after him.
"Right and it''ll be straight in front of you." He laughed. I kept running. I could hear them starting to play. I found the door and pulled it open. The tunnel seemed to go on forever. I ran faster. I didn't want to miss this. I felt bad she was mad at me when she left. I climbed the stairs two at a time, shattered by the time I reached the top. I pushed open the door and grinned, while gasping for breath, she had her back to me, she was out on the balcony, flipping her hair around. My heart was pounding from running, also just from seeing her. I walked to the balcony door and pulled it open. She spun around to face me.
"HARRY!" She yelled, grinning.
"Hi. I'm sorry about earlier." I said, still trying to get control of my breathing.
"Did you run all the way here?" She giggled.
"Yeah. I wanted to enjoy this with you even if your obsession with Dougie makes me a little jealous." I smiled.
"There are golf buggies, you idiot." She laughed, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards her. I must have ran right past them. I chuckled as I gripped her waist.
"Ooh. I love this one." She smiled, turning to face the stage. I stood behind her, my hands still on her waist as I heard the familiar opening to Air Guitar. She danced around, flipping her hair, her body grinding against me. My body moved with hers and I couldn't help but laugh when she turned to face me singing, "In my head I am a rockstar, and I probably date a popstar." I loved seeing her so happy. As the song finished, she spun around and pulled me down so she could kiss me. We kissed all the way through two songs, I could kiss her forever.
"So this next song we are going to play is something we don't normally play, but it's for somebody special in the audience. This is Transylvania." Dougie's voice shattering our bubble.
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Jessi started jumping up and down. The song was weird, it didn't make a lot of sense to me but it was fun and I loved watching Jess sing and dance her heart out to it.
"You look so pretty!" I yelled, pulling her close when the song finished.
"And you still look like sex on a stick." She grinned, running her hand over my chest, making me realise I hadn't bothered to put a shirt on. As I got lost in her chocolate brown eyes, Tom announced this was their last song. I knew it was the other song she asked for, they finished with that song last night too.
"Would you like to dance with me?" I asked, holding out my hand.
"Always." She grinned, throwing her arms around me. I knew this one pretty well from when Gemma used to listen to them and her mouth fell open as I started singing along with her. "OK. I want you singing this on the next playlist you make me." She grinned.
"So you liked my playlist then?" I asked, she hadn't really mentioned it.
"Harry, I love it. It's the only reason I've been able to sleep for the past month and a half." Her smile was so wide it made my heart race.
"Make me a list of your favourite songs and I'll make you a new playlist." I smiled.
"You're the best." She kissed my chest. I held her tight as the song came to an end.
"Baby, I have to go. We are due on stage in 10 minutes." I sigh. I didn't want to leave her here by herself.
"Okay." She grinned, taking my hand. "Let's go!" She walked towards the door, pulling me along with her.
"I thought you preferred watching out here." I raised an eyebrow at her.
"That's true but I also like being close to you." All I could do was grin. "I call driving." She giggled, sprinting down the stairs to beat me to the golf buggy. I didn't mind her driving, she was pretty good at it, unlike Louis who terrified the life out of everyone when he was in charge behind any wheel. "Why do you look so pleased with yourself?" She grinned as I got into the buggy.
"Just happy, Baby!" I shrugged as she drove along the tunnel. It barely took any time at all in the golf buggy. I jumped off and ran up the stairs and through the door.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Jessi yelled behind me as I collided with somebody in the hallway.
"Oh shit! I'm sorry." I said, reaching out to stop whoever it was falling over.
"Jesus Harry, you almost flattened me!" I recognise the voice as being Lucy's. She was a friend of Eleanor's. A friend of Eleanor's who I happened to have slept with. "How you doing?" She flung her arms around me.
"Styles, I'm gonna - " I heard Jessi's voice. "Oh, Hi!" she said, not finishing her previous sentence. Lucy stopped hugging me but still left one of her arms draped over my shoulders. I tried to shrug it off, but she just put it back again.
"Hi, this is Lucy." I smiled. Jessi's eyes looked frosty, I didn't even realise brown eyes could look cold. "Lucy, this is Jessi."
"So how do you know my Harry?" Lucy giggled, squeezing my shoulder. I literally felt death rays shooting from Jessi's eyes.
"H? Care to explain how I know her Harry?" Jessi said. I didn't know what to say. I was still stunned she was here.
"HARRY!" Paul yelled behind me.
"Give me a second." I replied.
"Now." His voice boomed, his arm pulling me backwards. I couldn't take my eyes off Jess as I was being dragged away from her. Her eyes changed from icy to something else. Something I couldn't read.
"What the fuck is Lucy doing here?" I yelled at Louis as Paul shoved me into the dressing area.
"I don't know. She turned up about 10 minutes ago, asking for me at the security desk. Why do you care?" He snapped back at me. I pulled on a t-shirt and connected my in ears.
"Because she's out there talking to Jess." I angrily pointed to the door.
"And?" Louis, Liam and Niall said all at once.
"Eleanor's New Year party." I said.
"Jesus Harry, you don't half drag things out, what about it?" Louis snapped.
"Harry disappeared for ages." Liam said.
"Oh man, you fucked Lucy?" Niall added.
"For fuck sake, H! I told you to stay away from Eleanor's friends and why Lucy? She's insane." Louis added.
