Cassie...

"I made you breakfast love" Harry sang in my ear, i had my face buried into the pillows, wrapped in the sheets and Harry had the nerve to unwrap me.

"Come on baby, get up" he lifted my upper body and brought me into his lap, i winced at the headache that rushed to my head. "I've got that covered" i saw him pick up a aspirin off the night stand, he slipped it in my mouth then he handed me a glass of water.

I slowly drank it as he kissed my neck.

The headache started to go away and that's when the memories from last night came in.

"Just realized i didn't break anything last night" i sighed, resting my head on his shoulders, he chuckled and brushed back some of my hair.

I leaned up towards him and pecked his lips, staring in his eyes.

"You didn't drink as much and i had to slip you a sleeping pill cause i knew you would of gotten up in the middle of the night and drank" i sighed and shook my head, covering my face in embarrassment.

"Oh harry i'm such a mess" i sob and he shushed me, grabbing my cheeks gently between his fingers and making me look him in the face.

"You know why ? because of me." i raised my eye brow at him giving him a confused look, he sighed and let go off my face.

He got up and then laid on the bed, he was shirtless and in sweats. Sometimes i think he's shirtless to tease me because he knows how much i admire his tattoos, i always just have to stop and stare.

"Eli ?" he chuckled calling me by my middle name, it's Elizabeth but he always called me Eli for short.

Covering himself with the covers, i blushed and laid on top of him, laying my head on his chest and my legs between his.

"Baby, why is it because of you ?" i asked as my hands found their way to his hair, he looked relaxed as he closed his eyes.

He took a while before he answered, like he was thinking long and hard about what he should say.

"Because...i'm never here to play my part as a husband, whenever i am home you're either drunk because you got tired of waiting for me, moody or sleeping" i chuckled along with him, i leaned towards his face giving him a peck but he leaned in for a deeper kiss.

"I feel like...i'm doing something wrong"

"You have been acting distant lately but It's not your fault haz" I rubbed his cheek looking into his loving eyes as he returned the look

"This is my problem and i'm the only one who can fix it" i sighed. I know i'm not the only one with a problem, harry has been really distant and i don't know why.

"But you don't have to do it alone baby" I felt my cheeks heating up from those heart warning words. I kissed him and placed my forehead on his.

"So do you still want to get rid of the alcohol..." i nodded "Okay let's get breakfast first then we do that" he kissed me quickly and pulled us from the bed and lead us downstairs.

-

"I'm so proud of you baby" harry whispered in my ear as i poured the last bottle of alcohol down the sink, i placed the empty glass bottle into the garbage bag.

"You shouldn't be, i just threw away my wedding present I got from Alex Turner when he sang at our wedding." Harry chuckled and took up the bag carefully.

"His manager probably gave him that to give to us, who the hell gives you sparkling apple cider as a wedding gift?.

"It was apple cider haz, it has no alcohol in it." I laughed, i smiled at him and helped him towards the door , opening it in so he could walk out side to the car.

"Tasted like it, it didn't get us drunk but we just got really sleepy. Who the hell give adults non alcoholic win at a wedding ?"

"So what? The moral of the story is 'Alex Turner gave us a wedding gift and sang at our wedding ' and you knew that's what I've always wanted and you did that for me. "

"Thank his manager, he owned me big time for all those lawsuits I covered for him. "

He carefully place the bag in the trunk of his car. When he was finished with that he leaned back on the side of his car and pulled me against him.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head on his chest, as he rubbing my back.

"Let's just hope i don't sneak off to a bar after work and grab a drink" i chuckled and Harry sucked his teeth.

"I'd be very upset with you" i sighed.

"I know baby, i know." we stayed like that for a while, till i decided to say something.

"Haz, i'm not the only one with a problem. Sometimes when you come home you seem to not wanna be around me or look at me, do i make you feel a certain way ?" he stayed silent for a while, till i looked up and saw him looking off at the side biting his lip.

He only does that when he's keeping something from me or when he's done something that he know will upset me.

"Is something wrong ?"

"Look Cas, i gotta get ready for work. A conversation like this is best to leave for another time" he kissed my forehead and walked away back inside.

The whole time i tried to read his facial expression and something definitely is on his mind.

I have a feeling it's not about anything I've done.

Harry's been acting weird lately and i don't like it, he never lies or keeps anything from me. We share all our secrets and make sure we do right by each other, that's why i'm so eager to stop my habit because i'll be losing everything if i loose my husband.

We're both very busy but we always manage to make time for each other but he hasn't been doing that lately, i know he works extra hours but i don't think his work would keep him at the office pass 12. I think he does it so when he gets here I'm sleeping but I can't seem to do that if my husband is out later than usual.

Harry's a busy lawyer and i'm a personal assistant.

Whatever is going on with Harry, i just hope it's nothing that will push us apart more than we are already.
