Chapter 12: Blinding Lights

AN: I'll find the typos later!

I looked in the mirror and smoothed out my pink slacks that I had paired with a matching pink crop top. I had straightened my hair and had very natural make up on with a soft wing.

"Are you sure it's not too much?" I said as a sprayed some perfume across my collar bone.

"I promise you look good baby." He said walking over, his left arm around my waist as his right hand moved my hair out of the way so he could kiss my neck softly.

I smiled at him in the mirror. I could never get over how handsome he was. His dimples always perfect under his cheekbones, the was wearing a loose beige blouse and brown slacks. His favorite loafers on his feet.

"We should get going if we are going to be on time." I smiled at him in the mirror and he nodded kissing my neck again.

"You ready for what might be all over the media tomorrow?" He said as he let me go. I turned to face him and bit my lip.

"Could I ever really be ready for it?"

He shook his head, "Nope."

I giggled and he leaned down and kissed my nose, "But you'll look amazing in whatever photo they may get of you tonight."

I blushed and looked away, "Stop. Come on, let's go."

We made our way into the restaurant and were led to our table, Charles and Anita already waiting for us.

"Sorry guys, the traffic was horrible getting up the street." I said sitting down.

"It's okay, we ordered you both drinks. Something with tequila I can't remember the name," Anita said, her cheeks were softly flushed, and Charles had his hand in hers. I couldn't help but smile at how happy they both looked.

"I expected it, seeing as Harry has been late to golf twice already." Charles said taking a bite of the piece of bread in front of him.

I couldn't help but laugh and Harry rolled his eyes, "I told you, my golf cart got stuck."

"Twice baby?" I raised an eye brow at him and he shoved me softly causing all of us to laugh.

"Maybe some of Maggie's time management will rub off on you." Anita wiggled her eyebrows at him.

"Listen, if it's work I'm always on time, when it's personal things, I get caught up in other personal things." He chuckled playfully and I rolled my eyes.

He squeezed my knee under the table and turned smirking at him.

"So, how has life been post the interview heard around the world." Charles asked.

"Well, I've had to turn off comments on, everything for now. I also have a hashtag trending. So get my autograph now guys. I'll be too cool for all of you soon. Even Harry." I said matter of factly raising both my eyebrows.

Charles shook his head, "That head. She's going to float away."

Harry bit into a piece of bread and smiled, "I think she already did, pretty sure this is an imposter," he chuckled, "But no, it's been fine. We've just been locked up in the house, but I'm officially over it."

"Hence why we are here with our besties." I smiled at them and Anita smiled big.

"Speaking of besties," Harry started, saying "besties" teasingly, "I want you both at Coachella with us, so Charles, you need to help make it happen please. Mags said there is a way."

"Yeah, hopefully with everything I still can, but it should be fine." Charles said turning to look at Anita.

"I mean you are the boss." She said at him and he flushed a bit.
