Whirlwind

Harry's POV:

I was ready from about 5.30 and have been unable to sit still ever since. I am so excited to see Jessica again and actually spend time with her. We had been texting constantly for the last couple of hours and it has been really nice talking to her and getting to know her a bit better.

I've decided to take Jessica to Zuma which is one of the best Sushi restaurants in London. She had told me in the car earlier that Sushi was one of her favourite foods, and I've heard great things about this place.
I was tempted to go all out and splash the cash but I get the sense that money doesn't impress her, which I really like, and from what I know - she seems to do well for herself anyway.

I pulled up outside her house and took a good look around. She lives in a really nice area only 10 minutes from my house which is pretty ideal.
As I walk over to her door a sudden wave of nerves rush through my body. "You've got this, chill out" I muttered under my breath.

The door opened and there she was standing straight in front of me. She looked stunning, it took my breath away slightly. She greeted me a big smile and I couldn't take my eyes off her, they greedily took in every inch of her. She was wearing a beautiful blue dress that hugged her body in all the right places showing off her amazing figure and womanly curves.
"Hey Harry." she briefly hugged me and shut the door behind her. Smiling, I grabbed her hand and led her once again to my parked Range Rover. I couldn't find the right words to say to her,
she literally knocked me off my feet. I opened the passenger side door, helped her into the car and shut it. As I got in myself, I looked over at Jessica and smiled. "You look absolutely stunning."
"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself" she replied with a cheeky smile.

The journey to the restaurant was filled with laughter and silly little conversations. I felt so comfortable around Jessica already, and I had a feeling this night would be one of the best I have had in a long time. I loved her laugh, it was sweet and gentle - but when she was in fits of laughter it became contagious and uncontrolled which was extremely endearing.

I was quite pleased that there weren't any paparazzi around at the moment, I had a feeling she wasn't overly comfortable with it, and I don't blame her - I mean sometimes I still feel uncomfortable too, it definitely takes some getting used to. She had briefly mentioned earlier that her friend had showed her the pictures and article about us in the Daily Mail and she made a comment about how strange it all was to her. Welcome to my world darlin'.

Walking into the restaurant I noticed we were gaining some unwanted attention. I tightened my grip on Jessica's hand and glanced back to make sure she was ok. She seemed to be oblivious to it, or she was just handling the situation extremely well - I wasn't sure.

"Hello, reservation for Styles please." I smiled at the hostess, she must have recognised me as her cheeks had flushed a deep red and was looking at me like a rabbit caught in headlights.
"Follow me Mr Styles, I will take you to your table."
I smiled and followed, gently tugging Jessica's hand signalling we were about to go. I hadn't let go of her hand since we got out of the car, there was something extremely exciting, sexy and exhilarating about her touch - I never wanted to let go.

After ordering some drinks and our food, we were finally left alone. There was a brief silence but it didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable.

"So Jessica, tell me about yourself." I inwardly cringed at my question, it was so cliché but I find her so intriguing and I want to know everything about her.
"Well I'm 24 years old, I have 1 sister and 2 brothers, but my cousins are like my brothers and sisters too, my family is pretty big and we are all very close. They are such an important part of my life. We are all slightly crazy, but what family isn't?" She smiled and took a sip of her water. I felt myself hanging on to every word she said, it was I was possessed - I didn't want to miss a thing.
"I've been working for MBE Events for 4 years now, I started at the bottom but worked really hard to get myself where I am today. I am a firm believer that hard work, dedication and determination is the key to success."

I couldn't stop the smile spread across my face. This woman is amazing. "I agree with you 100%. You have great ethics, I can see why you are so successful and I take my hat off to you. Nothing is ever handed to us on a plate - you have to work for it."

I felt like we had known each other for years, the more I knew about her, the more I could feel myself falling for her. "I have to ask you, do you mind being called Jess, or do you prefer Jessica?"
She chuckled slightly and replied "Either one is fine, I pretty much answer to anything anyway. So now you know a me a little better, I think it's only fair you spill the beans too."
I looked at her and contemplated my reply. I wasn't sure how much she knew about me through media and interviews - I wasn't even overly sure if she was a fan. She seemed so unfazed by me earlier, yet she knew who I was.

"Well what would you like to know? Or what do you already know?"
"Well I know you're in One Direction and I know some things about the band, like songs and awards. But I want to know about you. What you like or dislike, what your family is like."

She continued to surprise me in all the right ways. I breathed a sigh of relief - she wanted to know me. I knew for definite she was a keeper and I would be a fool to let her slip away.
