"Have I told you that I am a klutz?" I question Harry.

"No?"

"Well I am and there is a good chance if you don't take your hands off my eyes soon that I will fall and bring you down with me." I threatened as I tried to pull his fingers apart so I could see even just a bit.

"Relax love, we are almost there," He laughed as he used one hand to push mine away from his.

"You know there are people watching your every move so if you try and kill me someone is bound to see."

"New York will you relax please if I wanted to kill you I could just pay someone to do that," Harry whispered in my ear with a soft chuckle. "Besides we are here," Harry announced.

"And where is here exactly?" Harry's hands were still covering my face.

"Okay so let me explain before I show you," Harry took a deep breath. "Like you said I have people watching my every move, but for tonight I wanted it to just be me and you," when he finished I felt his hands lift off my closed eyes.

I opened my eyes and took in the beautiful rooftop, hundreds of twinkling lights illuminated the helicopter pad. There was candles creating a small path way that lead to a pile of blankets and pillows which sat directly in the middle of the rooftop. As I absorbed the view in front of me I felt familiar fingers weave through mine, I turn my head to meet Harry's beautiful green eyes.

"If you don't like it we can do something else," Harry said as he rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand. "I mean I know it's weird and I just, you know what why don't we just go." Harry stuttered and tried to pull me back towards the door.

"Will you please stop?" I asked finding my voice again. However I don't think he heard me Harry continued his babbling and attempting to pull him inside. "Harry!"

"I'm so sorry I screwed this up." Harry said as he dropped his head to look at his feet.

"You didn't mess anything up," I whispered walking towards his tall frame, putting my head under his to and look into his green eyes. Harry lifted his head slightly so we were looking directly into each other's eyes. "This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen."

"You like it?" His eyebrows shot up.

"Of course you goof, how could I not?"

"You were so quiet though."

"That's why they call it speechless," I laugh at him.

"You really like it? You aren't just saying that to be polite right?" Harry's eyes scanning my face for any tale of deceit his arms slowing wrapping around my waist.

"Harry," I sighed grabbing his face. "I love it so much, thank you, it is absolutely breathtaking up here, I can't believe you did all this."

"I got a little help," he admitted.

"Well remind me to thank them later."

We stayed in that position for a few minutes just the two of us starting into each others eyes.

"Why don't we go sit down?" Harry asked as he untangled himself from me.

We walked and sat down on the bed of blankets, it was so think you couldn't even tell there was concrete under it. Harry reached behind a pillow and pulled out a paper bag.

"Kylie said you liked Chinese?" Harry hesitated.

"It is my favorite," I smiled at him.

In response I got a smile from him, but not his average smile. It was the kind one made his eyes sparkle and squint a little, Harry looked as if he was the happiest five year old. Which only made my smile even bigger seeing him like this.

Harry set out the boxes of various entrées from "the best Chinese in New York". Each with a pair of chopsticks in hand we worked on our meal. It was definitely the best I had ever had, I don't know if it was the company who shared it but I did know nothing could compare. We made simple small talk, sharing family stories, our favorite things about our jobs (although his were slightly more glamorous).

"Okay worse part of being a teacher?"

"I'm a substitute teacher," I corrected. "And it would have to be the hormonal teenage boys."

"Oi I can only imagine with a beautiful substitute teacher like you," Harry laughed as he emphasized the word substitute.

"Haha you are so not funny."

"I wasn't trying to be funny, although for future reference I am quite hilarious."

"Is that so?"

"Indeed," Harry smirked.

"Fine tell me a joke," I challenged.

"You think I can summon my hilarious talent at anytime?"

"Well how will you aren't just full of crap if you don't?"

"Okay let me think," Harry said as he stretched his legs out in front of him, while his fingers found their way to his mouth playing with the lips. "I got one!" He snapped his fingers and pointed at me, "What do you call an alligator in a vest?"

"What?" I asked already having difficulty holding my laughter in at his adorable child like behavior.

"An investagator," Harry laughed.

"That was the lamest joke I have ever heard," I joined in.

By the time we calmed down both of us had tears in our eyes.

"See I told you I was funny," Harry winked.

"I surrender, I don't think I have laughed that hard in a while."

"Well you should definitely laugh more often you are gorgeous when you do."

"If you keep saying things like that to me I have a feeling my face will be permanently red," I laugh looking down at my hands.

"I am just admiring my view while I have a chance," Harry chuckled.

"You are too sweet for your own good Styles," I turned to look at him. "Okay it your turn what is the worse part about being Harry Styles?"

"Hm, that is a tough one." He paused for a few moments, "it would have to be having absolutely no privacy. But it's not all bad it does have its plus side, come here." He held his hand out to help me off the ground then I followed him to the edge of the roof, "This is my favorite part of being in One Direction, look and listen." Harry leaned over the edge, I quickly followed suit and saw at least a hundred people gathered around the hotel entrance all swaying together and holding up posters, I strained my ears to hear that instead of screaming they were singing. "They do this from time to time, it is incredible to hear them sing lyrics that I wrote.

After a few minutes of watching the people below we both leaned back, "Wow."
