The Concert [H.S]

Chapter 21

It had been a long day. We had spent the last 3 days unpacking all of my boxes. And we had finally finished. Harry took me shopping a few days ago to get some new furniture and things for the apartment. My apartment was beautiful. I couldn't even tell you how in love with it I was. It felt like home. A memory I could keep about Harry forever. 

I had just been flicking through twitter while Harry was showering. I probably check twitter once a day just to see whats going on in the celebrity life and I finally had time to check it now. Everything was normal... until I had come across a photo. It took me a while to understand what was actually going on in the photo. It was Harry and I eating lunch. The photo was taken from a distance and from the side of us. Harry was in disguise, but it was so obvious who he was when you looked at the photo long enough. And it was even clearer who I was. I had turned Harry's offer down to be in disguise with him... I had honestly forgotten about the crazy world Harry lived in. Shit. My curiosity got the best of me. I decided to keep looking through twitter... which wasn't a good idea. It was only getting worse and worse.

"Harry's new female of the day"

"Harry spotted with cafe waitress"

"Fan pays Harry Styles for a date"

"Mysterious girl and Harry Styles"

"Harry Styles with an average girl"

Ouch. I swiped out of twitter and put my phone down next to me. I heard Harry turn off the tap and decided to wait until he was finished getting dressed. I didn't know what to expect? Would he be frustrated? My heart was racing. I mean I knew this was possible but just didn't expect this to be happening today. Harry and I were supposed to go out tonight on a date tonight... he had planned the night from beginning to end. 

The bathroom door opened and he walked towards me. He was wearing grey sweatpants but hadn't put on a shirt yet. It was only 3pm. His hair was still wet. He looked incredible. "Baby, what's up?" I felt miserable and it was obviously very clearly expressed on my face. Instead of saying anything, I picked up my phone and showed him.

"Fuck" he mumbled. "I'm sorry Hannah, I honestly didn't expect them to know I was still here. I'll sort this out. I'll get this taken down". And with that, he picked up his phone and dialled a number, before walking into the bedroom. I didn't know what to think. I knew he wasn't angry at me, but I knew he was frustrated about this situation

"Yeah mate, I know, I've just seen it", I heard him say before closing the bedroom door behind him. 

It was then I received a message. Tess. Wow, it had been such a long time since I had spoken to Tess. I've been such as bad friend I thought. She didn't know about any of this. I hadn't told her about Harry... for obvious reasons but she was still my best friend. I hadn't even told her about my new apartment. 

Han, what the fuck?

And with that text, there was the photo of me and Harry attached. I decided to reply, it's the least I could do. 

Let's grab coffee on Friday. I'll explain everything.

I wrote back. It was only 2 days away and I knew she didn't work Fridays and I had taken some time off to move, so it was perfect. I couldn't wait to see her. 

I decided to play some music on my phone whilst waiting for Harry to come back so we could talk about it. I laid down on the living room couch and closed my eyes for a little bit. 

*** 

I must've fallen asleep because when I opened my eyes, it was dark outside. I looked over at the clock, which read 7:31. Shit. So much for our date. I slowly got off the couch before walking towards the kitchen. My head was killing me. Was that pasta I could smell? Whatever it was smelt incredible. I walked into the kitchen to see Harry in the same clothes as before... except he was wearing the cutest little apron around his waist. I chuckled as I walked towards him. He was too busy stirring the pasta sauce to see me walk in. I came up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "Goodmorning love", he smiled as he pulled me infront of him to hug me back. "It smells amazing Harry". My tummy was churning at the smell. "I know we were supposed to go out tonight but that can wait okay? I thought I would make us some dinner instead." I smiled, "thank you baby". 

We sat down at the table to have dinner, both having a glass of red wine. We spoke about everything but what was actually going on. We always had something to talk about and I loved it. I don't think either of us really wanted to accept the consequences of what happened.

I had finished cleaning the dishes after dinner. I then walked towards Harry who was sitting on the bar stool. "Harry.." I said in a sad tone... "I know Han, we'll sort this out" he interrupted me. It was then, I burst into tears. I didn't know what was going on. I was just so stressed and so emotional. 

"What are we going to do with the photos?"

"Did you see the things they were saying about me and my family? You don't think that do you. I don't use you for your money. I promise I will pay everything back"

"I don't want you to leave me" This last one was something that had been on my mind for a while. Harry was headed back to London soon. I didn't know exactly when but I knew it was soon.

I blurted everything that came to my mind. "Shhh Han, everything we will okay. I am not leaving you okay?". I nodded before burying my face into Harry's neck. I knew he would have to leave Australia soon. I just loved him so much and I knew I was going to miss him.

Harry lifted my chin up after hugging me tightly for a few minutes. My tears were falling onto his hands, his face looked sad. He brought his lips to mine. We didn't break away for what felt like hours. Our kisses were slow, long and full of emotion.

My legs automatically wrapped around Harry's waist and he picked me up. We kissed as he walked us into my bedroom... our bedroom. He laid me down on the bed before breaking away. His beautiful eyes looked straight into mine.. his hands grasping my face. We stared at each other for a while before he whispered"I love you Hannah", his words came out so softly. I couldn't believe it... he felt the same. I was lost for words. I pushed my lips against his before breaking away, "I love you too so much Harry", I said back to him. He smiled. His dimples were so prominent. My heart was beating so fast... "I've been waiting to tell you, I was just so scared of what you felt", he muttered before kissing me again. Harry's hands were now trailing from my face down to my body. His lips were still so gentle... his hands gentle... he was gentle. It was different... this was passionate. 

I loved this man with my whole heart and he really felt the same.
