Make You Mine(H.S.)

Paul?

The lights clicked off and an arm wrapped itself around my side before quickly pulling away.

"Sorry," he muttered and I reached over to grab his arm, wrapping it around me once again.

"Goodnight Harry."

"Night Lai."

Laila's POV

I awoke to find the left side of the bed vacant, and sighed in relief. I wasn't in the mood for small talk in bed. After stretching my limbs out, I climbed off the bed and crept towards the door.

Harry was pacing back and forth by the coffee table and seemed to be talking to someone on the phone.

"No Paul, it can't wait another month. They've been there long enough. Yes, I know there are risks," he spoke in a hushed tone.

"Damn it Paul! Put Josh on. Josh? Good. Finally!" He exclaimed and threw his hand up in the air.

"So you and your guys are ready? I'm counting on you Josh."

He hung up the phone and collapsed on the couch. He looked exhausted.

"What was that all about?" I asked, causing him to stiffen.

"I-uh, I was just making sure that my match was scheduled in the evening. I couldn't box during the day due to a press conference and radio interview," he quickly replied. Liar.

"Oh, ok."

"Would you like to come?"

"What?"

"Would you like to come to the conference and interview?" He asked, turning to face me.

"Oh, um, no thanks. I'll just stay here."

"Oh yeah, that's probably the best idea. I mean, there's probably a search team looking for you," he chuckled.

"Was that supposed to be funny?"

"Of course not," he quickly answered. "I was just, uh, laughing about a joke my friend Paul had told me earlier."

"Paul is a friend of yours? Didn't really seem like it a couple minutes ago."

"We argue like that all the time, no big deal."

"Sureeee. If it's alright I would like to order room service."

"Sick of my cooking already?" He asked, pretending to be offended.

"Of course not!" I joked. "I'd just rather have a large amount of bacon."

"Alright," he chuckled. "Order what you like. I'm off to my interview in about 10 minutes where I will have to listen to Zayn lecture me about what to say and try to be funny by annoying the living hell out of me."

"You have fun with that," I laughed.

After Harry had left, I ordered room service and plopped down on the bed to watch some TV.

A loud ding surprised me and I heard someone call "Room service!"

I hopped off the bed and walked into the common room. Liam was standing beside the table that held what I ordered, arms crossed.

"A plate of just bacon, really?"

"I like bacon."

"Ok then. Well, seeing as Harry just left, I will have plenty of time to update you on the plan."

He motioned for me to sit down and he sat across from me at the small dining table.

"So we had originally planned to get you home after Harry's final round in the ring, but that has changed."

"What are you talking about? I thought that was the only way!"

"We have a way to get you home sooner, but it is risky. I need your consent in order to carry out the new plan."

"Does it involve doing something illegal?"

"Not necessarily, but it does involve you getting closer to Harry."

Liam's POV

I desperately needed her to agree to this. Paul had told me that Harry was close to rescuing his family and I could not have that happening. If only stupid Josh would go along with it. He is too loyal for his own good.

Laila's POV

"What exactly do you mean by closer?"

"I mean more cuddles, kissing, the full package."

"I'm barely comfortable with sleeping in the same bed as him. How do you expect me to become so open so quickly?"

"Oh c'mon. Harry may have crossed me, but he is pretty likeable. I mean he's cheeky, charming, and caring. I'm sure he doesn't treat you that badly either. "

He was right. Harry had his moments, but he tried his best to please me. I admit, I have been starting to care more for him.

"I guess you're right," I sighed.

"That's my girl. You have 2 weeks to earn his full trust. Good luck," he said and started towards the elevator.

"2 weeks?!" I gasped. But, he had already left.

Harry returned a few hours later and brought some Chinese takeout with him.
He grinned when he saw me.

"Everything was fantastic! Well, except Zayn. I got a new sponsor and was named best international boxer of the year!"

"That's great!" I replied sincerely and rushed over to give him a quick hug. He surprised me by lifting me up and spinning me around.

Harry!" I shrieked and he laughed and set me down.

"Sorry love, I'm in a great mood!"

Seeing him so happy made me smile. I couldn't help it because he really did deserve to be happy after all he had been through.

Perhaps this was the side of Harry Liam was talking about I enjoyed this side a lot. Maybe if I saw it more often, it would be easier to be closer to Harry. I couldn't help but feel guilty for what was to come.

Author's Note

I know it's been forever since I've updated and this was a short chapter but Ahhhhh! Liam is kind of a jerk in this. All the Zayn drama is crazy but I still love him. He will always be a part of 1D. I am in France at the moment and am going to school for a day tomorrow! Wish me luck:)
