*Harry's POV*

Gaby sat opposite of me at the small table in Starbucks. Her long, brown hair fell over her face in simplest way, and I couldn't help my smirk when she flipped it back. She seemed oblivious of me watching her while she took a sip from her cup, the light dancing off of her crystal blue eyes. Her eyes may have been my favourite thing about her. They were oceans of blue with green circling in the depths. Honestly, it was hard to look away.

"So what now?" She asked, her tongue swiping along her perfectly shaped lips.

"I don't know." I answered honestly. "I like you." I shrugged, smirking again when her cheeks turned the lightest shade of pink and she looked down at the table.

"I like you too. But that only makes this more complicated."

"We'll work it out." I assured her. We would. I just knew it.

"It's just killing me to not know. You're leaving in a week, you have to go home, I have school tomorrow, and I can't just leave."

"Okay. Well, uhm..." I sighed, knowing that she was right. We had to have some sort of game plan. "We have this week together. And when I have to go... We can talk on the phone everyday. We can Skype, and text. I can come visit you."

Her eyes lit up a bit. "How often?"

"Every couple weeks maybe? Once a month? Who knows, maybe we'll be back here soon anyway. Summer isn't that far off. What if you came to stay in London with me? I mean, obviously we'd have to get your parents on board with that situation..."

Suddenly my phone buzzed on the table, interrupting our conversation. Louis' name lit up the screen. It dawned on me that I'd forgotten to tell him we left.

"Hey Louis." I answered. Gaby bit her lip, holding back a smile.

"Where the hell are you? I woke up and you were gone!"

"Gaby and I are at Starbucks. Sorry, I didn't want to wake you."

"We have to leave for an interview in twenty minutes, Harry!"

"Shit, I forgot! We're leaving now. We'll be back in five." I quickly hung up the phone, and stood, grabbing her hand and pulling her with me.

"What happened?" She asked, worry lacing her tone. I pulled my hood up to hide myself before walking out the door.

Louis took his seat next to me on the couch while we waited for the interviewer from whichever magazine this was.

"You hung up on me." He smacked the back of my head.

"Ow! We were in a rush! Sorry!"

"You didn't even say goodbye! How come you're allowed to get angry with me when I don't say 'I love you' but you can't even say goodbye? Is this girl going to end our relationship, Harry?" Louis was only half joking. As much as he supported my feelings toward Gaby, I knew he was worried about being replaced.

I hugged him tight, much happier when I saw him smile. "Won't happen again."

"Did you guys talk about what's going to happen next week? Are you dating?"

"I don't know. I'll tell you about it later." I was saved by the bell when some women, apparently named Kate, came out with a microphone for us. The cameras turned on, and she sat in the chair beside us.

She explained some things about the magazine until the interview started.

A few questions in, she asked the inevitable one.

"So, who is single, hmm?"

"Louis is the only one with an official girlfriend right now." Zayn announced.

"Is this true, Harry?" She looked to me, rather confused.

"Uh, yeah. True story." Why was she singling me out?

"So would you care to explain this picture then?" She looked to me with a smile, a picture of Gaby and I from this morning coming up on the screen.

"What the...! How did you even get this!" It was just this morning! Even if someone had gotten a picture, how would she already have it!

"They're not dating." Louis covered, supportively placing his hand on my leg.

"So who is she?"

"She's just a fan." Niall chimed in. I was beyond thankful for their calm responses. There's no way I could've answered these questions right now. "Harry accidentally spilled her coffee and offered to buy her a new one, that's the kind of guy he is. Right, Harry?"

"Yeah, yeah. Right. Exactly. Thanks, Niall." I gave him a nod. He smiled back to me.

"Good to know. Girls of the One Direction world, Harry is still available!" She laughed. If only she knew. I guess Gaby and I weren't officially dating. I didn't even know if she had feelings toward me. But I definitely had feelings for her.

As soon as the interview was over, we returned to our tour bus.

"Thanks for the cover. Quick thinking there, Niall."

He smiled again at the approval and gave me a high five. "No problem!"

"You two are going to have to work something out eventually though, right?" Zayn asked, laying back on his bunk. "Has management talked to you about it yet?"

"I don't need their blessing to see Gaby. It's my life, not theirs." I rolled my eyes. There was no way I was going to let them ruin this for me.

"But they're going to have an opinion. When Eleanor and I first started dating, we weren't allowed to confirm it or talk about it. Only subtle hints to keep the fans excited." Louis shrugged, offering his experience for example.

"Are you ever going to tell us what happened last night?" Zayn smirked, wagging his eyebrows a few times. I laughed, but rolled my eyes.

"Nothing happened. Really. We kissed, but she was drunk thanks to Louis." I gave them all a quick summary of the night, along with what happened this morning.

"So you're going for a long distance thing?" Niall asked. "Do you think that will work?"

"I hope. I mean, I haven't officially asked her out or anything..." I commented, grabbing a Coke from the small fridge. "I don't even know if she likes me."

The boys all exchanged a look, staying quiet for a few seconds... before breaking into a fit of laughter.

"Do you have plans to see her again?" Liam asked.

"Not yet. But I'm going to call her right now." I smiled, pulling my phone out from my pocket. As I found her name on my contact list, my heart started to beat a little faster. I couldn't wait to hear the sound of her voice again.
