After the working hours I go back to my house and call Ashley, my best friend. When everyone left me she was there for me. She's been there for me in all my highs and lows. She's the only constant in my life and I share everything with her 'except one' adds my subconscious.
Ashley comes and we talk about aa lot of stuff. We order pizza and have our drinks. She tells me about the dates she went on this week. Oh! Tomorrow's Sunday. I literally forgot this.
" So, do you have any plans for tomorrow?" I ask.
"No...why" Ashley replies with a confusion and also excitement on her face.
" Can you stay with me tonight? We can go for shopping tomorrow. I really need to refresh my wardrobe."
" Yeah, sure...How can i deny for shopping" she chuckles.
HARRY'S P.O.V :-
" Hey Chris. Free today?"
" Yes Harry... what's up buddy"
" I need to go shopping. Can you come with me?"
" Sure, I'll be there in 15"
Chris, my best buddy and also my counselor. We discuss about everything on our minds and today I really need to talk to him about Alexis. That girl has made my nights sleepless. I didn't sleep yesterday because I was busy thinking about her. I really need some fresh air today.
'Come out, I'm here ' and here's a text from Chris.
We move towards 'The Grove' mall listening to our favourite playlist and Alexis was on my mind the whole time.

Chris and I try to find some outfits. Chris goes to the trial room while I am still trying to find me something.
" Hey Harry" a female voice calls and it seems it's Alexis. What's happening. Why does even a female voice makes me feel it's Alexis.
"Oh...Hii" I turn around and to my surprise it's actually Alexis.
" What happened? Not happy to see me here?" She chuckles and asks.
" Uh ...no... nothing like that... it's just that...umm...i wasn't expecting you here" Oh god! why can't I even answer to a simple question properly.
" I don't think this mall belongs to you Mr.Styles. So I can be here whenever I want" She says playfully.
I am very nervous and I don't know why. She comes closer and says, "Black suits you Mr.Styles" I can smell her lavender perfume which never smell so good before. This girl knows very well what effect she's having on me and the worst part is, I can't control it. She looks into my eyes and I look into hers.
" Ahem, did I disturb someone?" says a girl patting on her shoulder. I guess she's her friend.
" No, we're just business partners" replies Alexis with a slight blush. She looks so adorable when she blushes.
"Oh.. You've got a hot business partner Alexis" says the girl with her eyes on me.
" How do I look Harry?" Here comes Harry wearing a navy blue t-shirt and denim pants which he took to try on.
" Oh my my!" replies Alexis's friend to which Chris winks at her.
" Yeah buddy, you look great" I say while he starts to flirt with that girl.
" Ashley....stop it! " Says Alexis.
" Who's this pretty lady?" asks Chris. As Ashley was going to answer his question I interrupt " this is Alexis, my new business partner".
" Woah bro....you didn't tell me you had such a hot partner" he says playfully winking at Alexis trying to flirt with her and I feel anger emerging from within even though I know I shouldn't feel like this.
Ashley and Chris flirt with each other while Alexis is starting at me which i can't handle. I feel like kissing her. I want her so bad. She hands me a T-shirt and whispers, "you'll look great in it"and then takes her friend with her. She turns around and winks while I stand there and stare her like a stupid.
" Bro! What happened?" Asks Chris teasing me.
" Nothing... she's just my business partner.... nothing else!" I look away from him.
" It doesn't seem like that" he teases
"Anyway , her friend Ashley is so gorgeous...we even exchanged numbers" he says.
" Great, that's nothing new... you do this with every girl you find pretty" i laugh and say.
" No dude, i feel a connection with her like I once felt with Veronica" he says lost and upset.
" I don't think we should talk about it. It's better not to dig the past" I say with anger and disappointment both.
" Yeah...leave it....but i really like this girl, i think". He has seriousness in his eyes.
We get the things we needed and head towards the car. Memories of Veronica flush into my mind but I try to distract myself by raising the volume.
We stop at Chris's place and talk about how i act around around Alexis on which he laughs says, " You like her dude". I just get up and leave without even saying a word. Why am I getting so much affected. I know I don't like her.
Maybe ....i do. Oh god...this needs to stop.
