Chapter 18 - Donuts and Coffee

Chapter 18

I woke up to a buzzing loud alarm. I was scared half to death and jumped out of the bed in Harry's spare room. I looked at the clock next to me and it read 7:55. I tried hitting it and pushing all different buttons, but it wouldn't turn off. I kept hitting it until it fell on the ground and finally turned off. I heard a knock on my door and Harry peaked his head in.

"What's going on?" he asked opening the door all the way. I didn't have my glasses or contacts in so I squinted to make out his face clear.

"Alarm," I said pointing at it. I was laying half off the bed with my face almost touching the ground. I was so tired. We went to bed maybe around 3 am? I couldn't sleep and never could Harry so we both decided to get away from each other. Our rooms were right next door so we texted back and forth until I fell asleep on him. The bye didn't have be to the venue till noon anyways.

Harry walked over to me and picked the clock up. He set it on the dresser then picked me up and set me on the bed. I groaned and pulled the blankets over my body.

"Not a morning person," Harry said laughing. I hit his arm and buried my face in my pillow. "Good night, or should I say good morning." He laughed and went back to bed.

I woke up again around 10:30 to the sound of the shower and Harry singing. He was singing 'Isn't She Lovely'. It sounded wonderful. His voice quite raspy in the morning. I smiled to myself and threw my blankets off. If I remember right Harry sang that for his audition song. That was two years ago, I couldn't remember. I just remember what Liam sang.

I walked into the bathroom attached to my room and went to the bathroom. I went into the kitchen and Harry had absolutely nothing in his cupboards. I sighed and decided I'd fine my own breakfast. I changed into jeans and a sweatshirt and got Apple Maps up on my phone. I typed in the local grocery store and it gave me directions. I grabbed my purse and coat and headed out the door.

My phone surprisingly got me where I needed to go and I bought donuts and some coffee. Harry didn't like coffee much but I did and was in need of it. I checked out and found my way back to Harry's apartment complex. When I walked in Harry was walking around completely naked. I was taken back and dropped my bags. Harry turned to see what the noise was and I nervously picked the bags back up and set them on the counter not daring to look down.

"Oh, um sorry. Didn't remember I wasn't alone," he said smiling and walked back into his room. I had my eyes closed and finally opened them minutes after he'd gone

I don't know what it is but there's just something about seeing a naked body that gave me the chills and made me nervous.

I calmed myself down and ate my donut and drank my coffee. Harry came back out and had pants on. "Sorry about that love," he said still grinning. My face was red and I was completely embarrassed.

"Fine, it's fine," I said. Harry sat across from me on the table and started laughing. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing, it's just," he choked out between laughing. "You're embarrassed that I was naked. Usually the person naked would be but you were." I cracked a smile.

"Yeah..." I said giggling.

"You're so pure," he said eating a donut.

"Why?"

"Embarrassed to look at a naked body, Lucy" he said looking at me straight in the eyes. I looked down and stared at my left over donut crumbs.

"You're adorable," he said and got up, walked around the table, and kissed the top of my head. He took my plate and put the dishes away. I smiled to myself. Harry was turning out to be a very good thing. He was so sweet and made me feel so much better about myself.

"Ready?" Harry asked me hours later. I was going to soundcheck with them and was pretty excited. I had on a green dress with black and white heart printed tights. I slipped my studded flats on and braided my bangs back.

"Mmhmm," I said. Harry came into the bathroom wearing skinny jeans and a plain navy sweater. He always looked incredible in navy.

"Don't you look gorgeous," he said to me standing in the doorway resting against the door.

"You don't look too bad yourself babe," I said back. I put on my watermelon lipgloss that I knew Harry liked.

"Now you're just teasing me," Harry said walking into the next room.

We arrived at the venue and there were fans everywhere. I felt horrible because it was cold and they would wait forever just see a glisp of the boys. Harry saw me looking out the window with a sad expression and took my hand.

"What's wrong?" he asked quietly.

"Your fans. They're so wonderful," I said staring out the window still.

"That they are."

We walked through the back entrance and Niall was jumping around like an idiot.

"Niall?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, oh hey Harry, hi Lucy!" Niall said turning to face us still jumping around.

"Whatcha doing?" I asked.

"Lads and I are playing tag and I wanna be ready for when they find me." I laughed and Harry ran away.

"Where are you going?" I yelled to Harry.

"PLAYING TAG!" he yelled back. "YOU BETTER RUN OR THEY'LL GET YOU!"

"Uh, I don't run," I said back. Niall laughed and took my hand.

"Let's go, we can hide." I followed him and we hide under the stage. We waited for a long time until I heard shouting.

"I'll check it out," Niall said crawling out. I didn't understand these boys at all.

Niall came back and motioned for me to come out. "You know Niall you didn't make this very easy for someone in a dress," I said as I crawled out. As I stood up all the boys were surrounding me. "What?" I asked confused. Liam ran towards me and yelled, "TAG YOU'RE IT!"

All the boys laughed and ran away. I stood there confused and Harry stood there smirking. "You set me up!" I yelled. I ran after Harry and kicked my shoes off. My tights were slippery and I fell down flat on my butt. Niall was behind me and started dying of laughter.

I pouted my face to Harry and he picked me off the ground. I hit his arm fast and yelled, "Tag you're it!" I ran away fast and watched Harry pout.

"Hey!" he yelled to me. I laughed and kept running around the venue.
