CHAPTER 15
TIME DIFFERENCE
HARRY'S POV
I opened my eyes and noticed that I fell asleep with my phone beside my head. I stretched my arms out as I yawn and sat on my bed feeling a little tired than the usual.
"What time is it?" I mumbled to myself as I moved my head to my clock and noticed that it was already 3AM. I really did fell asleep, man I'm really tired.
Gasp!
Wait, I was talking to Lindy earlier right? Damn, that means I had fallen asleep while I was talking to her. I hurriedly grabbed my phone and saw a few text from her which was sent hours ago. I opened her message while rubbing my eye as I yawn again.
I knew you fell asleep. Lol. - Lindy
And by the way, you slept talk a while ago. Was I that boring to talk with because you fell asleep? :( -Lindy
I smiled.
It's probably ten in the evening at Canada right now. I hope she's still up.
I'm so sorry baby. You weren't boring. I promise. If you were, I wont talk with you so you're not. I was just really tired with work a while ago babe. -Harold
I walked my way out of my room and head down to the kitchen to grab a cup of milk and probably some Oreos to have some sweet light snacks. As I got back inside my room, I sat down on my chair and opened my laptop. I signed in to Twitter while placing my cup beside me and my container of Oreo. I was absentmindedly humming to the song that Lindy tweeted. That song Can't Stop Love is seriously stuck in my head so I Googled the lyrics and listened to it again.
Whoever said that we can never hold on
And don't know how I found my star (Baby you are my star)
Now I'm happy I stood up for so long
And baby this is where our story starts
I smiled as I hummed along to the song and got back on Twitter then I tweeted a line from it
My phone suddenly beeped and received a response from her. Thank goodness she's still awake.
I'm sorry if I bored you to death a while ago. -Lindy
You didn't! What you doing now babe? -Harold
I'm on Facebook and Twitter. HBU? -Lindy
If I tell her I'm also online, she'll probably ask for my account.
Just in bed. If you were here I could've been cuddling you instead since it's 3AM here in London. I'll be your big spoon hugging all of you from behind ;) -Harold
I went through her gallery and stared at her photo which is my personal favorite.

LINDY'S POV
I smiled and felt my cheeks feeling a little warmer that it normally should as I read his response to my previous message. He's such a sweet, naughty and raunchy but thoughtful pervert. Button barks at Lindy so she picked her up and placed her on the bed too.
"You know Button, I seriously cannot wait to see Harold." I tell her and she barks at me while sticking her tongue out. "You want to see him too?"
Button barks again making me laugh, "I'm taking that as a yes. Don't worry, I will take you."
I smile at her and she barks at me again.
I think you are still sleepy Harold. Haha. -Lindy
Dodging Harry sweet message with a subtle response.
Not at all. Aren't you going to sleep yet? -Harold
Suddenly, as I was scrolling down through my Twitter, I noticed someone's tweet that made me scroll back up to check it because it was an account that I was unfamiliar. Furthermore, I don't think I ever followed that guy and I thought m eyes were playing tricks on me.
I saw a tweet coming from Harry Styles. Wait Harry Styles? I don't follow him.
@harry_styles: Baby this is where our story starts...
Wait, I know I don't follow him because I am not a fan of this guy so why in hell am I following him now? I took a long pause contemplating if I did followed him or not but I don't have any recollection that I did and I am sure. Hundred percent sure.
Did you follow Harry Styles using my account? -Lindy
Nope. -Harold
Are you sure? Because I know I don't follow him here. Weird. -Lindy
Avery must've did that or I don't know. I have no idea. -Harold
I sighed.
Let's stalk this guy's tweets and what makes him so loved by all girls.
Well, there were a lot of thank yous to the fans and his crew, okay so he's polite. He answered some tweets from his fans which means he loves to talk with his fans and spends time conversing with him, at least. His others were purely non sense. I don't get them at all and it were all. I don't even understand his tweets! They're so weird. He's been tweeting unrelatable stuff.
I don't understand the tweets of this guy. But he does have lots and lots of followers. -Lindy
You won't be surprised if we see each other this Sunday. -Harold
You are really teasing me. -Lindy
Haha, I like that. I am a tease to you? ;) -Harold
I couldn't help but smile.
I gotta go Harold, I need to sleep now. I still have to wake up early tomorrow. -Lindy
It's Saturday tomorrow. For what? -Harold
It's my mom's birthday tomorrow so I need to buy some groceries to make her something. Before they come back home. -Lindy
Tell her happy birthday coming from the most handsome guy you know which is me. -Harold
Hahaha! Alright. I will. Night Harold xx -Lindy
Night babe sleep tight. -Harold
I searched her name on twitter and I really wanted to follow her but then I know I couldn't, for now. Sigh. But then I tried to stalk her again. She tweeted some stuff about a few hours ago. I saw one that says about me falling asleep when I talked to her over the call, then there was #sleeptalker.
I chuckled, "So you tweet about me now and not JTA?"
Suddenly, she tweeted again just seconds ago.
@lindyswanepoel: Thinking About You - Frank Ocean #nocturnal #np
I smiled. I got back on my twitter account.
@harry_styles: 'cause I've been thinking about you. Oh na na na
With just one tweet, my followers suddenly sends me massive massive tweets begging for me to follow them. I wish I could follow them all but they're just too many. So let's read a few tweets from my adorable fans. Okay, so here's a few that are funny, some are really scary that they're threatening me and well there were a few hates too. Actually there were also weird ones and naughty ones.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated. I grabbed it thinking that it was Lindy but then I guessed it wrong. It was from this Jake guy. How in the world does he have her number? And how did she get his?
Hey Lindy, it's me Jake. I know it's pretty late now but your sister is kind of really drunk at the party. You should pick her up, she fought with Ted a while ago. -Jake I went to her phone book and opened this guy's contact info. Then I went back to my messages and replied to him and reminded myself that I need to talk like Lindy. Wait, how does Lindy even talk with this guy? Okay, Harry Styles time to mess up someone's fairytale because the woman is mine Jakey: Why don't you let her take a cab? She doesn't need my help. She's big enough, she can take care of herself.
Well, okay then. If you say so. I'll let her friends take her home instead. Sorry for disturbing you. -Jake the dog (Adventure Time)
I chuckled seeing his name. Okay so it was funny for me. Look, I'm not jealous or anything. I just..... Hate the guy for no reason. I don't trust him. I'm sure he's such a high school playboy. Too cool for school kind of guy. He'll just hurt Lindy. I'm just a concerned friend, if you're wondering.
I repeat, I am not jealous.
