The Boy Next Door (Harry Styles)

Chapter Four

It was early morning yet it was still dark outside. Harry was next to me, fast asleep slightly snoring. He looked beautiful even when he was sleeping. I got up slowly trying not to wake him up. This all felt weird to me. We weren't friends a couple of days ago and now.. it's like nothing has changed. Don't get me wrong I like it but it seems so soon. I went downstairs once I was out of my room shutting the door quietly. My mom already left to work. So, it was just me and Harry here. I finally looked at the clock, 7 am. I went back to my room and got back in the bed. I don't even know why I went downstairs honestly. I felt sudden warmth to my back and hands grab my waist. Harry had woken up. "Morning, love" I hadn't heard his morning voice in the longest. I used to love waking up to his morning voice. Or at least hearing it. I just turned so I was facing him, his hands still around my waist. I was just staring at him for the longest of time. He just started to smile slightly then planted a kiss on my forehead. He pulled me closer, I was engulfed in his warmth. He's always so warm I never knew why he was. I started to fall back asleep just like that. I think he did too because his grip around me loosened. 

I woke up two hours later, the same way I fell asleep. In Harry's arms, really close to him. Closer than when I fell asleep. I scooted back a little only so I could watch Harry sleep for the second time in one day. I felt complete some how. Just here with him, right now. We have the whole three months together before we go back to school, senior year. Alot can happen in three months. Or even in this case, a coupe of days. I never used to believe in the stuff like that somehow now it was different. I see things different when I'm with Harry. My mom said I used to look happier when Harry was around me and when someone said his name. Everyone sorta told me that. They also said he looked happier with me than when he was with anyone else and went back to being the normal Harry whenever I would leave. I don't know if I never knew if they were just saying that to say it or they actually meant it. I felt Harry's breathing get faster his eyes started to flutter open. He just started staring at me. That's when I felt all the feelings for him come back. I pushed them down, way far down so they wouldn't show or even seem to be there whenever someone said anything about him, but him being here looking at me how he is. It made them come back. His green eyes trying to read my expression he couldn't get anything. I wasn't showing how I was feeling or anything at all at that moment. He got a sad expression on his face like he was almost sad that he couldn't see what I was feeling. "What should we do today?" he said breaking the comfortable silence. What are we going to do? "We could watch movies?" he started laughing for the smile that was on my face was it really that funny? "You don't want to go outside or anything?" I honeslty didn't I felt better just being at my house. Locked inside. "No, not really.. unless you want to go somewhere then you can." I think that came out more ruder then it was supposed to be. It wasn't even supposed to be rude or anything. I didn't want to argue with him at this point. He didn't look mad though. "Katie, I won't go anywhere without you I hope you know that," the thing is I didn't know that. I didn't know if he was being serious with me or just trying to ignore the way i just said something to him so he wouldn't get mad and start something that would ruin what just started. "What are you thinking bout Katie?" I didn't really want to tell him what I was thinking, I didn't really know what he was going to think about it. "Nothing? Come on, lets go watch a movie down stairs?" I quickly got up and pulled him with me dragging him down the stairs he just starts laughing. He sat down on the couch, I could feel him watching me trying to find a movie. I picked out Love Actually I didn't really care what we were watching I just didn't want him to ask me what I was thinking. "Come here," Harry gestured me over to the spot next to him. I sat down and he pulled me closer.

The movie was half way over and I honestly wasn't even paying attention. I was looking at Harry, I tended to be doing that alot now. Grins kept appearing on his face I knew that he saw me watching him. I just couldn't help myself. "You're staring" I started blushing really badly, my face was getting really warm. "Sorry.." it almost didn't come out of my mouth. "You didn't do anything wrong love, you don't have to say sorry" my face felt like it was burning. That's when I noticed I was leaning closer into him. In for a kiss. He was leaning towards me to. We were going to kiss. After all this time it was going to happen. That sounds a bit weird doesn't it? I don't really care though. His soft lips touched mine. I felt something weird in my stomach I've never felt like this before. Ever. It was a kiss, no tongue or anything. Just taking it slow. It was perfect. We both backed up. "Sorry.." why was he saying sorry? Did he not want to or something? Why'd he feel bad.. "Why are you saying sorry Harry?" I didn't know if I was going to regret that question somehow I felt like I was going to. "For kissing you, I don't know what came over me.. I usually have self control.." he thought I didn't want to kiss him. "Harry, you don't have to be sorry. I wanted to kiss you. Don't be sorry, it was fine. And that was perfect to me." that had to sound somewhat cheesy. It sounded less cheesy in my head. He just smiled, and his dimples started to show. That boy really knew how to make me weak without really trying. I got the feeling that something was going to happen really faster then it sound. Then again, I always feel like somethings going to happen faster then it should and everything turns out better than I ever thought it would be. Maybe this was like all the other times. 

The movie was over. Niether of us moved from where we were, in eachothers arms. He kept leaving little kisses all my face and neck. I kept getting goosebumps. That's when I hear someone walk into the house. My mom must be back from work. Me and Harry quickly got out of how we were. I suddenly got really cold. He was my source of heat for those hours and minutes we were sitting like that. "Katie I'm ho- Oh hi Harry." She gave me a look asking what was going on and I just pointed towards the tv. The menu to Love Actually was playing over and over. She just nodded and walked out. Whew. I don't know how my mom would feel about what was happening with me and Harry taken that she knew how much we argued. It didn't really bother me all that much but still... "Katie? Want to watch another movie or something?" I don't know what else there is to watch but whatever I can find I guess. "Yeah, hang on" I got up to go to the shelf with all the movies. That's when I felt large hands grab me around my waist and Harry made me turn towards him. 

"Katie wake up!" wake up? What? That was all a dream?! "It's nearly 12, come on lets go watch some movies?" he was waiting for me to reply but I couldn't. "Y-Yeah.." he grabbed my hand and pulled me down the stairs. Wait, in my dream wasn't I the one pulling him down the stairs? Everythings happening the other way around. Anything I did in the dream he was doing. Was that kiss actually going to happen? 

He sat me down and got the movie Love Actually and put it in the dvd player. He sat right next to me and pulled me up to him. I quickly got warm. I was kind of scared of what was going to happen. What if this was a dream inside of a dream? I've heard people have those often, or was it when they really wanted something? Was that the case?

The movie was half way over, I could feel Harry's green eyes looking down at me. He pulled me up closer so that I was facing him. Then, he leaned in. Was this it..? 

I could feel his warm breath right by my mouth. He pressed his forehead against mine. I kept looking at his lips. He kept looking at mine. I wanted this. I did. My thinking was interrupted by soft lips pressed up against mine. He seemed almost thirsty for that kiss, like he's been wanting it for as long as I have or close to it. He licked my bottom lip looking for my mouth to open in approval. Our tongues fighting against each other, he won. I started to get that one weird feeling in my stomach. The kiss stopped after a bit. I didn't know what to say..  I think he didn't know what to say as well.

"Katie..."
