Cosmic Love

“So I have a cast party tomorrow and I’m not sure when you’re flying back, but I was wondering if you wanted to come with me. My dad is flying back tomorrow and Niall has a date,” I said to Harry as we sat on my couch. It’s been three days since we first met and when I’m not filming I’m either texting him or hanging out with him.

“Ohh so I’m your last option?” He asked me with a smirk.

“Nah, Brooklyn is my last option,” I replied correcting him causing him to laugh.

“I’d love to come with you. What are you wearing to it?” He questioned

“Not sure yet. I think Ari and I are going shopping today if you want to tag along and get an idea of what I’m going to be wearing,” I said, “I even think Logan and Dylan are tagging along so it’s not like you’ll be the only guy there,”

“Do you have to go on set today?” He asked me.

“I’m filming my final scenes after we go shopping so you’d probably have to go on set with me if I drive us,” I explained. I’m not one hundred percent sure I want him on set with me because I know I’m going to cry and while I do now consider Harry a friend I’m not sure if we’re at the stage where it won’t be weird for me to cry in front of him.

“I have nothing planned today anyways so I’ll tag along,” He said.

“You can spend the night again if you want. I have a second guest room you can stay in if you want to check out of your hotel today,” I told him. It just makes sense to me because as soon as I’m done on set for the day and he’s done with his meetings he comes and hang out with me whether Niall is here or not.

“Only if you’re sure,” he said.

“I’m sure. You’re already here all the time anyways,” I pointed out to him and he laughed.

“You do have a point there,” He said and then he got this look on his face like he wanted to ask me something, but was too nervous or afraid to do so.

“What’s going on in that mind of yours?” I asked him.

“I read somewhere that Arabella is actually your middle name. So what’s your first name?” He asked me and now it was my turn to laugh.

“First oh my gosh I thought it was something bad. My first name is Diana, but I always liked my middle name better so I go with that. My parents and sometimes my siblings call me Diana,” I explained to him.

“Can I call you Diana?” He asked me and this struck me as weird. None of my other friends questioned it or even asked me to call me Diana instead.

“If you want to,” I said, “but why do you want to?”

“I think it suits you better. Plus it’s such a pretty name so why not,” He replied with a shrug.

“Thank you I guess,” I said nervously laughing. We spent a couple more hours in my living room talking and laughing before he left to go to the hotel to get his clothes and stuff and check out of the hotel. While he was gone I went and made the bed in the guest room and then went to my room and changed into a pair of shorts and one of Brooklyn’s shirts that I stole from him the last time I was home. After changing I went into the kitchen to get a water bottle and as I went to open it my phone rang and it was Harry.

“What’s going on?” I asked him.

“I’m feeling kind of hungry and was wondering if you wanted a pizza for lunch,” Harry said.

“Sounds good. I like pepperoni,” I said.

“Okay I’ll see you when I get there,” He replied before hanging up the phone. Soon my dad came down stairs yawning.

“Well look who decided to finally wake up,” I said with laughter because it’s practically noon. Last night my dad went out for drinks with a couple of friends and came back around one this morning. I know this because I heard him stumbling around.

“Good morning Lady Di,” He practically whispered as I handed him my water bottle for him to drink out of. After getting myself another bottle I got down the aspirin bottle and handed it to him.

“So I’m assuming that you’re staying in tonight,”

“Yeah I think I’m going to be in bed for a while and probably call your mom and siblings. We can go out for dinner when you get back from set though,” He said before taking a drink of water.

“Harry’s going to be staying with me until we fly back to London next week. So are you okay with him coming to dinner with us?” I asked my dad.

“Of course he can. I like him a lot, you guys should date,” he said and my mouth flew open and my eyes got wide. This was the last thing I expected my dad to say.

“We’re only friends dad,” I replied after recovering from the shock.

“For now you are. I’m telling you, give it a month or so and you guys will be a couple,” He said before heading back upstairs and I rolled my eyes as I checked my phone to reply to Niall’s text.

To: Nills
Update Harry’s staying with me now. Also no you didn’t leave your socks here. Even if you did you wouldn’t be getting them back sorry bout ya luck Nirish boy!

As I slid my phone into my pocket the doorbell rang and I hurried to answer it while bringing my water along and then tossing the closed bottle onto the couch. When I opened the door I found Harry standing there with a pizza and two suitcases.

“Here let me help you,” I said pretending like I was going to take one of his bags for him, but grabbed the pizza box and ran into the living room with it. I set it down on the table and opened it.

“So cold,” Harry said laughing and walking into the living room with his two suitcases beside him.

“I love food Styles,” I said with a shrug as I took a slice and began to eat it. He came and sat down next to me and stole the slice from me and took a big bite out of it before handing it back to me.

“So rude!”

“You’ll get over it. I just have to smile and you’ll be mesmerized by the dimples,” He said and I couldn’t even argue with him because I knew it was true also. After we finished eating I showed Harry his room and let him get settled in while I went and laid down in my bed. About twenty minutes later the other side of the bed dipped and I was quick to close my Wattpad app.

“Whatcha doing over there?” Harry asked me as I rolled over to face him.

“Nothing just scrolling through twitter,” I said lying through my teeth. There was no was I was gonna let him know I was reading fanfiction about him. That would be totally humiliating!

“Always fun,” he replied before the two of us just laid there in silence. It felt a little bit awkward, but not because it was silent, but because of how close we were. I was worried about my breath smelling. I was worried about breathing too hard/ loud. I was worried about my want to cuddle him, but knowing I can't.

“Do you want to take a nap?” Harry asked breaking the silence and smiling wide at me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Ari!!” I shouted running towards my other best friend and wrapping my legs around her waist as I hugged her.

“Ara!!” She said back just as excited. We’re just major dorks who act like it’s been five years instead of two days of not seeing each other.

“So this is Harry, Harry Ari,” I said introducing the pair.

“Nice to meet you,” Harry said to Ariana.

“Nice to meet you too. I can’t wait until you drop your first solo album,” She said to him smiling.

“Thank you, I started recording this week, but I need write one more song. I like your music also,” Harry said before Ari turned to face me again.

“The bubs are inside waiting on us,” She said to me before leading us into the mall. Once inside I was greeted by ⅔ of my TV bros.

“Ty and Dill this is Harry. Harry these two buttfaces are Dylan and Tyler,” I said introducing them.

“Nice to meet you man,” Tyler said as they did the brok hug/handshake thing. Dylan did the same and then the five of us set off to find the perfect outfits for the party. As we were searching in one of the stores a male worker came up to me and tired to get my number. As I told him no he thought telling me how large his penis is would get to me to give it to him, but it did the opposite. I turned my head and tried to find one of the other four people I’m here with, but couldn’t find anyone until I felt a hand interlock fingers with me.

“Sorry baby I had to use the loo. Is everything ok here?” Harry asked me as I looked up at him.

“Our friend here was just telling me how large he actually is,” I explained to Harry.

“Hey buddy, why don’t you leave my girlfriend alone ok?” Harry asked sternly and even though I knew he was pretending to be my boyfriend a part of me wanted it to be true. Even though I’ve known him in person for four days he’s the same person who was DMing me on instagram for a month before that.

“Sorry,” The worker said in a sarcastic manner before walking away and heading towards Ari. I sent her a warning text and I’m assuming she read it right away because she walked over to Dylan and held onto his arm.

“Thanks for that,” I said to Harry.

“No problem. I hate guys like that,” He said shaking his head, “Anyways did you find anything that you like?”

“I did actually. I found a cute bodysuit I’m going to buy and then pair that with jeans and maybe one of my black booties I have at home,” I explained smiling. I’m super excited to wear this outfit because I know it’ll make me feel hot and good about myself.

“Awesome. I’m glad you went with black because I found a black shirt with birds on it that I found. Shall we go buy these?” Harry asked and I nodded my head and lead him to the cashier counter. This all happened as we continued to hold hands. His hand in mine felt so right. After we each paid for our items we went to stand in a corner of the store while waiting for the others and just talked.

“So I don’t know if this is too soon or too forward, but I was wondering if you would want to go on a date with me this weekend. Just the two of us,” He said with a nervous smile.

“I’d like that,” I said smiling at him, which I bet it was probably the funniest smile ever.

“Don’t worry about anything I have it all planned. Just dress casually,” He said and I nodded my head just as the other three were approaching us.

“Thanks for the heads up Bella. That dude was seriously a creep,” Ariana said to me.

“Tell me about it. He told me all about his penis and now I feel like I have to wash out my ears,” I said rolling my eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Dad we’re home!” I shouted alerting my dad as this is his cue to come downstairs so we can go out to dinner. I had just finished my last scene ever of Let Go and I cried an insane amount of tears. Thankfully Harry was there and just hugged me and said it was going to be okay.

“How was it?” My dad asked as he approached me to give me a hug.

“Everything was going well and then they called cut for the last time and the tears came like a tsunami,” I explained to him.

“You’ve always been the emotional one,” my dad felt the need to point out. Anyone who knows me and all my siblings know that I’m the one who feels every emotion ten times harder than most.

“Ready to go to dinner?” I asked him.

“Well I actually went to the store and I made dinner. I just have to set the table,” he said walking into the dining room and Harry and I followed close behind. After the table was set we began to eat and after eating Harry and I washed the dishes while my dad put away the leftovers.

“Thanks dad. It was great,” I said kissing his cheek before walking into the living room after everything is put away.

“You’re welcome. Also I had to move my flight up to one tomorrow morning so I should actually head to the airport. I’ll see you couple of days though when you get home,” He said.

“Do you want me to drive you?” I asked him.

“No you’re ok. I’m going to take an uber,” He said hugging me and then kissing the top of my head, “love you always Lady Di,”

“Love you too daddy. Have a safe flight and then text me when you get home,” I said to him and he nodded his head before heading upstairs.

“And then there were two,” Harry spoke as he pulled me down onto the couch and began to tickle me causing me to laugh and squirm.

“Want to go sit out back? It’s nice out and I have a patio bed we can lay on and blankets if we get cold,” I said and he nodded his head. We stood up and walked outside and I closed the door behind us. Harry sat down while I grabbed myself a blanket.

“The stars are so beautiful. I always come out late at night and just stare at them,” I said as I looked up at the sky where the millions of stars twinkled.

“It is beautiful,” Harry said and when I turned to look at him he was looking at me.

“So tell me about your new album,”

“Most of it is about past relationships, but I just want to have current song. I hope to have it out by next year though,” He replied scotting closer to me.

“I’m sure you’ll find inspiration soon. At least you have a plan. Let Go was my plan but we didn’t get renewed for a fifth season so now I’m kind of lost and confused. I act like I have a plan and know what I want to do afterwards, but I really don’t,” I explained resting my head on his shoulder.

“Why don’t you pursue music. You have an amazing voice and the world needs to hear it,” He said as his arm went around my shoulder.

“I don’t know. I’m afraid because I’ve never really sang seriously in front of people that could literally end my career. I don’t want anyone to say that I’m just trying to copy my mom because I’m not. Granted my love for singing did come from my mom, but I don’t think I could deal with all of the negativity. I don’t want to be compared to her,” I explained because I have thought about pursuing music before.

“You could use this as a chance to separate your image and your voice from hers. I’m sure if you talk to her about it she’ll tell you to go for it. I’ll help you every step of the way if I have to,” Harry said before resting his head on top of mine.

“I’ll think about it,” was all I said before we fell into a comfortable silence.
