Him.

Chapter Fourteen

My room was dimly lit from the light passing through the curtains on the window. I groaned as I stretched out, not remembering that there was someone next to me. “Shit” I cursed as Harry took me by surprise. He was lying on his right side with his head rested up on his arm. He smiled. “Good morning beautiful”. I couldn’t help but look at his naked torso that was on show above the duvet. I rubbed my eyes, trying my best to remove the remnants of the makeup that I had left on from the previous night.

I looked down at myself lying under the duvet, realising that I was still dressed in the clothes that I was wearing yesterday. Harry put his hand on my stomach and slid it under the hem of my t-shirt. I shot him a glance but he didn’t pay attention. He began to trace different shapes on my stomach. It tickled. I tried my best to move away but Harry grabbed me and pulled me back towards him. I screeched with laughter as Harry continued to tickle me. I hated being tickled, especially by someone as strong as Harry. I grabbed one of his hands in both of mine and stared deeply into his eyes. “Please” I begged.

He winked at me and rolled me over to lie on top of his almost naked body. “You don’t know how beautiful you are” he whispered. He planted a wet kiss on my cheek at which point, I began to mess with his curls. A slight satisfied groan left Harry’s parted lips which gave me the impression that he enjoyed the sensation, He smiled. His dimples coming into full view. He didn’t know just how beautiful he was.

I shut the shower off and reached out of it for a towel. The crystal white cotton glowed in the sunlight. The soft bristles rubbed against my skin. I wrapped the towel around my naked body, so only my legs and above my chest could be seen. I stepped down from the shower, collecting the clothes that I had taken off prior to getting in. I dumped them in the wash basket in the corner of the room and unlocked the bathroom door. To my surprise, as I opened it, he was slumped on the floor opposite the door waiting for me.

“You took your time” he winked. He then hauled himself off the floor and gripped me around the waist. “Wouldn’t it be a shame if this happened to just fall down?” he said as he tugged the towel that was wrapped around me. “No” I bluntly said as I clung tightly to the towel in order to keep it from Harry’s grasp. He shook his head and kissed me on the nose.

I turned towards the direction of my bedroom. As I was about to walk across the landing, Harry took his large right hand and spanked me on the bum, making me trip forwards. “Hey!” I wailed as I turned to look at Harry. He grinned, clearly satisfied with the reaction that he had provoked. “I love how innocent you are” he said, once again, winking at me. I sighed and stormed off into my bedroom before slamming the door shut. Even through the door, I could hear Harry laughing deeply to himself.

It was only literally minutes since I had slammed the door shut before it was quickly opened again and Harry appeared in the doorway. I didn’t turn round to look at him, trying my best not to give in to his charming manner. Suddenly, a large hand was snaked around my waist as I was pulled into Harry’s torso.

“I want to see you naked” his raspy voice echoed through my ears. My cheeks flushed a violent red but I kept my back firmly pressed to Harry’s chest. His left hand was placed on my left thigh and began to slowly trace upwards. My breathing began to increase. I was frozen to the spot. His hand brushed past the towel that was tightly gripped around my body. His fingertips increased pressure to my hips. My legs were about to buckle when his hand skimmed my crotch. I yelped and jumped away from his grasp. His laugh sounded again.

We were stood facing each other as Harry’s eyes trailed around my almost naked body. I subtly gripped the towel tighter to ensure that he couldn’t see anything. He stepped closer, causing my breath to hitch in my throat. “I want to take you out tonight. To a club.” His words gave me goose bumps. The tone of his voice now soft and calm with a whisper. I said nothing, I just stared deeply into his sparkling eyes. He tilted his head to provoke an answer from me but my eye line soon fell to the floor. His hand cupped underneath my chin and lifted my face to meet with his.

His soft pink lips landed a kiss on my cheek. “How about it?” he asked. I nodded, not being able to attach a sentence to my gesture. He smiled, revealing the dimples in his cheeks. He pulled me closer, smothered in his warm embrace; I could smell the cologne that rested on his clothing. I took in a deep breath of his scent before releasing from the hug and continuing to get ready.

Once I gathered all of my clothes, I realised that Harry was still in the room and sat on my bed watching me. I coughed, hoping to give Harry the hint to leave the room. He was sat against the wall with his arms folded and his large legs dangling over the edge of the bed. He showed no signs of moving. I sighed and persisted to exit the room in order to get changed in privacy. “Where are you going?” his raspy voice sounded. “Erm, to get changed” I uttered, not really understanding why it wasn’t already clear. “You can get changed in here you know” he almost laughed. I shook my head.

His forehead wrinkled as his smile turned into a frown. “Don’t worry babe, I won’t just shag you, you know?” he questioned. My cheeks flushed pink as I giggled. “Close your eyes then” I said, pointing my finger towards him. “Bu-“ He began. “Harry!” I urged. He sighed and closed his eyes. I quickly paced towards the bed and picked both of his large hands up in mine before bringing them to his face to shield his eyes. His eyebrow lifted as he wondered what I was doing but kept his hands where I positioned, cupped over his eyes. I kissed each of his knuckles lightly which made him smile.

I quickly got dressed. Knickers. Bra. Leggings. Top. Jumper. Scarf. I persisted back over to the bed where Harry was still shielding his eyes. I straddled his lap and pulled his hands away. “Hello beautiful” his raspy voiced said as he opened his eyes to show the large green orbs. I stared at Harry’s lips. They were the perfect shape and shade of pink with a freckle to the left and just below them. I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by the fact that I had taken such an interest in someone so beautiful and he was clearly taking a similar interest in me. I couldn’t understand it but it gave me a warm feeling in my stomach when I thought about it. I wanted Harry, whether I liked it or not and I wanted it to become serious.

We sat in silence. I was tracing Harry’s features with my eyes as he gently rubbed circles into my hips with his thumbs. He hesitantly leant forward and slid his hand below my ear and wrapped his fingers around the base of my head. He gently pulled me forwards so our eyes locked with each other. He gave me a soft kiss on my lips. “Wear a dress tonight.” He uttered. “I want you to look sexy.”

Shit.
