Softhearted // h.s.

Chapter // 10

It is Saturday morning and I woke up around two pm due to not being about to stop thinking about Harry last night. I tossed and turned all night up with Harry's words and Anne's replaying in my head over and over again.

I groaned loudly and got up from my bed to go to the restroom to brush my teeth. Once I was done, I headed downstairs to get the cook to make me some breakfast.

I told him that I wanted a spinach omelet and headed over to the kitchen table where my mom was with Kris, Anne and someone I didn't recognized.

"Ah, Kitty finally," my mom said as she got up and placed a kiss on my cheek.

"Good Morning, Mrs. Styles," I smiled at her. "Good morning, hunny," she smiled back.

"This is Lou," my mom continued, "she will be doing you and your sister's hair and make up for tonight."

"Hello!" She beamed.

I smiled back to her, "Hey." She had beautiful platinum hair and the biggest smile ever, she looked really nice.

The chef soon came and placed my breakfast in front of me. Yay.

"I'm gonna go set up. Just come up whenever you are done love," Lou got up from her seat and walked upstairs.

It only took me a couple of minutes to finish my food and I made my way back to my room as Lou was getting her things ready.

"Let's do your hair first Kate," she signaled me to sit on the chair.

She started curling my hair and I decided to get to know her more.

"I noticed your accent, where are you from?"

She smiled at me, "Yorkshire, Uk."

Kris walked in and sat down on my bed. Lou smiled at her. "Have you been friends with the Styles for a while?" Kris asked.

"Yes for years. Whenever Anne or Gemma have an event, they ring me up."

Kris and Lou were having a conversation that I wasn't really listening to. I was too nervous about tonight. I'm going to be engaged at eighteen, eighteen!

"What's on your mind, Kitty?" Kris smiled at me.

"The engagement is tonight," I whispered.

Her smile soon faded, "So soon?"

I nodded, "I am so worried about what people will say, what they will think. I'm scared that they will think bad of me or something."

I put my hands in my face and just sat there.

"You shouldn't be worried about others' opinions, love" Lou smiled at me.

"Kate, you really need to stop caring about what other think about you," she told me.

"Kris, you know more than anyone that mom and dad raised me to basically please everyone. It's a hard habit to break from," I sighed.

Kris just stood there quiet for a while, but then she spoke up, "Mrs. Styles said you dropped off Harry last night and that she heard y'all talking a bit."

I froze a bit when I found out that Anne listened to a bit of our conversation. That's why she said that.....

I nodded slightly as I recalled the memory," he was drunk off his ass and he asked for a ride, that's it." I laughed a bit.

"Mhm, sure," Kris giggled.

Lou soon finished mine and Kris' hair within a couple of hours and was half way through my make up when my mom walked in with two dresses.

She pulled out a beautiful navy blue strapless mermaid style dress. "This is yours Kat," she went and hanged it in the rest room.

When Lou was done, she pulled out her phone and quickly took a picture of me.

"Give me your phone, I'll add my number just in case you ever need a stylist or a friend," she smiled at me. I smiled back and handed her my phone.

When she was done typing I headed to the restroom and closed the door.

"Kitty, Harry is downstairs already," I heard my mom from the outside of the door as I pulled on the dress.

I got out so she could zip it up for me as she teared up.

"My little baby growing up," she hugged me.

"I'm still here," Kris mumbled as Lou was doing her make up.

Me and mom laughed as we pulled apart but she grabbed a hold of both of my arms.

I winced a little from the bruises that Harry caused yesterday.

My mom noticed it though, "Kitty, what happened here? Lou could you come cover this up for me?"

She covered it until it looked natural.

"You know that the engagement will happen tonight, right?" My mom asks. She didn't even bother to ask about that bruise. I slowly nodded.

"Once you are there, don't leave Harry's side at all. It is important for you to make people believe you two are actually in love." I nodded again, retreating my heels and putting them on.

"Come on, let's not keep Harry waiting any longer."

As we walked down the stairs, Harry was there conversing with my dad.

He looked up and widely smiled at me.

"You look stunning Kate," he beamed. He came to me and kissed the top of my head. "Let's go."

He guided me out of the house and into his car and we made our way towards the hotel where the party would be held at.
