Paul's Adopted Daughter ~ One Direction Fan Fic

Chapter 6~ Connections and Wishes

~* Harry's POV *~

As i followed Iris up the stairs to her room, i felt my phone buzz gently against my bum. Eh it would be rude of me to read it while i'm at her house wouldn't it be? 

"Hazza?" I looked up at Iris who was staring at me with worry twinkling deep in her eyes. 

"Yes love?" I closed her door behind us as she plopped down onto her king sized bed. I sat next to her, wrapping my arm around her shoulders.

"You can answer your texts while you're here." She giggled and layed back onto her bed as i pulled out my phone and answered the text my mum sent me. 

"Want to sit on the balcony and watch the stars with me?" I asked her and nodded sitting up quickly, i grabbed her hand and helped her off the squishy bed. I pulled open the balcony door and put the two chairs outside next to each other. I took the one with the worse view, she seemed so excited about watching the stars i wanted her to have the better view than me.

"Do you like anybody Harry?"  I heard Iris mumble to me as she looked up at the stars with a dazzled look in her eyes. I smiled and looked over at her from the corner of my eye, i stood up and got the lounge chair. I put it in the middle of us and layed on it patting the spot next to me. Iris looked at me and stood up, laying down beside me. 

"A crush is different then liking someone." I felt my cheeks burn red when she bit her lip, this is bad. 

"Oh my Harry look!" Iris pointed at the sky towards a shooting star. I closed my eyes and wished for something i have wanted for a little while.

A girl to like me for me.

~* Iris' POV *~

I watched Harry close his eyes so i copied him, i made a wish like the characters in the books used too when they saw a star like that. 

I wished for someone to at least act like they love me. 

I curled closer to Harry, using his as a blanket so to speak. He put his arms around me protectively and kissed my forehead, i felt warm inside. Like i was safely guarded by millions of men while in reality i was being hugged by Harry. 

"Are you tired Iris?" He mumbled and kissed my ear after he finished speaking, i nodded slowly and leaned my head onto his chest. 

"Let's get you to bed then." He smiled and started to get up but i gently slapped him across the face. 

"Why did you slap me?" He chuckled.

"Stay still. I'm comfy like this. You make one nice pillow." I smiled and kissed his cheek, ducking my head back onto his chest. 

"Okay. Sleep well Iris." Harry smiled and kissed my forehead before leaning his head back against the pillow attached to the lounge chair. I felt my eyes close and i knew i was drifting off.

"Sleep well Haz." With that i fell asleep with my heartbeat at a gentle tempo.
