omg, i love you, thank you for sending a question! i hope it’s okay that i wrote it instead of just answering if it was cute or awkward <3 this is how they met; masterlist
(written in the stars; a harry styles universe)
"you made it!" sarah quickly walked over to octavia embracing her in a warm hug.
it had been a long time since they'd last seen each other and that's why sarah had asked octavia, if she would want to come over for a small dinner party. and now they were here squeezing each other hard like they haven't seen each other in years when in reality it had only been a couple of months.
"missed you sarah." octavia pulled away from the hug and kissed sarah on her cheek. "you look pretty as always."
"stop it." sarah rolled her eyes playfully. "the whole band is here and there are a few of mitch's friends too. do you want a drink before saying hi to a lot of people you don't know?" sarah smiled knowingly.
“yes please, you know me too well.”
so with a drink in her hand, octavia began introducing herself to a few people with sarah by her side obviously.
"harry is coming too." sarah said tugging octavia along with her. "you've got to meet him i think you'll get along," she whispered before introducing octavia as one of her best friends to a guy named pauli. he was very sweet she thought.
"well i think we should get started and sit down and eat dinner soon." sarah rubbed her hands together.
"yes, i'm just gonna fill up my wine glass and i'll sit." octavia gestured to her now empty glass.
both pauli and sarah nodded and began slowly walking over to the table decorated with beautiful flowers and lots of folded napkins.
octavia went over to a different table and poured some wine in her glass. she wasn't tipsy yet so she could easily pour herself another glass of surprisingly very good wine.
the only thing was that when she quickly turned around again, she collided with a chest causing the wine to spill all over her new light blue dress.
octavia paused right then and there looking down at her dress with a mixture of shock and the feeling of her dress sticking to her body.
"oh my god, i'm so so sorry." harry panicked reaching out for some napkins that lay on the same table as the bottles of wine and crisps. "that was really not my attention."
"and i ruined your dress." he put the massive amounts of napkins on her dress thinking it would soak into them instead of her dress.
he widened his eyes. "and i'm touching you without your permission." as quickly as he said it he took his hands away and the napkins dropped to the ground.
octavia just began giggling she really hadn't imagined standing in this position tonight. "it's okay. i'm okay. it's just a dress."
his eyebrows furrowed and he slumped his shoulders . "it's a really pretty dress." he argued.
"it’s a bit unfortunate but it'll be alright." she shrugged and unknowingly scrunched her nose which harry found the absolute cutest.
octavia thought that there was no point in getting angry when the damage was already done. sure she was a bit sad that her dress was ruined but things happen. she sighed; "let's just go over and eat?”
"yeah that would be a good idea." he smiled while maintaining eye contact and they walked over to their assigned seats surprisingly they were sat next to each other.
harry was very happy about that.
the conversation continued across the table and no matter where the attention landed harry found himself being drawn back to octavia and her pretty laugh.
"i'm still so so sorry for spilling on your dress," harry whispered so only octavia could hear it and he slowly placed his arm around the back of her chair. he hoped it was okay he had put his arm there.
"it's okay, i think it's almost dry." octavia smiled and turned her body more towards him which assured harry that she was comfortable.
"that's good. still red though." he said looking into her warm brown eyes and his smile grew larger and his pupils dilated a bit. "you're very pretty by the way."
to say she was shocked was a bit of an understatement but she didn’t let it show. "thank you, that's really kind of you to say." she stuttered a bit embarrassed. "you too."
he raised his eyebrows as though he hadn't expected a compliment back. he gave a genuine nod and looked the other way before she could see him blushing.
"thank you." he said genuinely and reached out for the salad with his other hand that wasn't around octavia.
"yeah, thank you," octavia said as harry gave her the bowl of salad and their hands touched causing both of them to get even more butterflies in their stomachs if it was possible.
