Uh oh.
After closing the door on him I assumed he would have left, unfortunately for me, he didn’t. It's not everyday that Harry Styles, "International superstar", is found serving masses of teenage girls at a popular clothing store, that would explain the influx of customers and admiring grin Amelia was throwing me. I was beginning to think this was a sign, that I should restrict my short day trips to traveling to and from work, and simply never leave the house otherwise.
Harry was obviously enjoying himself, however, i’m not sure if that was from the attention or the glares he was receiving from me. When paparazzi kept attempting to enter the store slyly, Amelia realised this whole thing was going too far and ended up closing early, much to the displeasure of the surplus of provocatively dressed teens roaming the store, grabbing at anything just to see Harry at the counter. Some were as young as 10 and this made me question society. As I was minding my business daydreaming about how much I hated current style, I felt a tap on my shoulder, I knew it was him and I knew he’d be grinning so I remained facing the back wall and acknowledged him by grunting oh so charmingly, “i’m leaving” he chuckled, I sighed and decided to play it casual, although internally I was celebrating, “That’s too bad I was really starting to enjoy the company you attract” I remarked, “just the company?” he prompted, I laughed and pushed past him to grab my belongings.
I had trouble being in this place on a normal day, so what he’d done was beyond frustrating. Before I could leave he reached for the strap of my backpack and swung it over his shoulder, “alright, alright we can leave now” he sighed, but I could tell he was holding in laughter, “please, just save it and let me go, i’ve had the longest day and you made it so much worse, I just can’t right now, give my bag and leave me alone” I felt bad right after I said it, especially since I noticed his eyebrows knit together and a look of humiliation touch his face, so I quickly added a ‘please’, causing him to laugh, “long day? Please, I did most of the work” he joked “Come on were going for coffee, no arguments, i’ll ‘leave you alone’ after that, okay?” his eyebrows shot up and he looked annoyed, so I also became annoyed and started to walk away forgetting my backpack and any pity I ever felt towards him.
Obviously he chased me down and obviously he stopped me, but what I hadn't expected was Amelia right on my tail giving me a stern lecture about manners and pulling me aside to thank me and ask that I continue to bring Harry around for business and thats the story of why I quit my job from Forever 21. To say Harry was shocked when I publicly laughed in my bosses face and told her to take her ridiculous agenda and pathetic consumerist values and stick them somewhere unmentionable, would be a rather large understatement. However, sadly he wasn't the one who was most shocked by my behaviour that day, that person was in fact me.
Why I decided to grab his arm and practically force him to take me for that coffee after is something I will never understand, but it did prompt the beginning of my existential crises. Thank you Harry.
