Leah's P.O.V

"I had a really great time tonight." Harry said as we were standing outside mine and Kylie's flat. I was kinda upset she wouldn't be home tonight, I really wanted to tell her all about my date. 

"Me too." I replied smiling at him.

"Do you maybe, um, want to go out again sometime?" He asked. Just as he said that, that weird feeling in my stomach came back. I had already been throwing up all day, and I did NOT want to again. 

"Yeah, that would be lovely." I answered trying my best to hold the puke inside. 

"Leah, are you okay?" Harry asked with a worried look on his face. "You look a bit, I don't know, pale?" 

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Probably just the flu." I replied. "I'll just go down to the store tomorrow and get some medicines and then I'll be fine." Then suddenly I could feel it all starting to come up my throat. "Excuse me." I said starting to run inside. I could hear him following me. 

I headed into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet, feeling my hair being held up. I really didn't want him to see me like this, but what choice did I have? Was I supposed to shut the door in his face? No, I wasn't. 

When I was done throwing up, I sat down on the floor next to the toilet. 

"Please don't look at me.." I said hiding my face in my hands. I probably had my mascara running down my cheeks and I bet I was pale as hell. 

"Why not?" He asked and I could feel him sit down next to me. "You're beautiful just the way you are and you shouldn't feel ashamed to throw up in front of me. It's a natural thing and everybody does it." 

"I just feel like it's embarrassing considering this is the second day I've known you." I replied turning my head to look at him. 

"I don't want you to feel embarrassed, Leah." He said. "Listen, I'm gonna stay here with you until Kylie comes back and we're just gonna have a great time, alright? I want us to be able to be ourselves around each other without feeling embarrassed or uncomfortable. I really like you Leah, and I want this to be a relationship." 

I was touched by his words, I really was. The way he looked into my eyes while saying it proved that every word he said was true and it was just a beautiful moment. 

"Thank you Harry, it means a lot." I replied smiling at him. "Just go downstairs and I'll be down in a minute, okay? I just need to get changed." 

"Okay, just don't use too long." He said sending me a wink. 

We stood up from the floor and headed out of the bathroom. He gave me a kiss on the cheek before walking downstairs and I walked into my bedroom. 

I changed into a pair of sweatpants and a plain white t-shirt. Then I removed my smudged up makeup and put my hair up in a bun. After that I walked out of my room and headed downstairs to the living room. 

Harry sat on the couch with his phone in his hand probably scrolling down twitter. I could see him favoriting a few tweets and following some people as I sat down next to him. 

"Hey." He said giving me a quick peck on the lips. "So I was thinking we could watch a movie if you'd like to. You know, just having a relaxed evening." 

"That sounds like a plan." I replied sending him a smile. "I'll go and get my laptop." 

I ran up to my room, picked up my laptop and turned it on as I was heading back. By the time I sat down next to Harry I was already logged onto netflix. 

"Which movie do you wanna watch?" I asked scrolling through the netflix homepage. 

"I honestly have no idea. So many choices." He chuckled. 

We continued scrolling down the page, but I immediately stopped when my eyes caught one of my favorite movies, 'A Cinderella Story'. 

"Harry, can we please watch that one? I'll do anything if we can watch it!" I begged him. 

"Anything?" He asked raising his eyebrow and smirking. 

I slightly hit him in the chest and muttered, "Pervert." That made him laugh and so did I.

Eventually I convinced him to watch it with me. He put his arm around my shoulder as I pressed play on the movie. I shot him a smile and leaned my head on his shoulder, snuggling into his arm. 

There was just something about him that made me feel so warm. Maybe it was the way his eyes were sparkling when he smiled, or the deep dimples that could make any girl swoon. His voice was one of the most beautiful sounds know to the man, and his laugh could make anyone instantly start smiling. What wasn't there to like about this boy?

Throughout the movie I caught Harry taking small glances over at me, though he would always look away when I turned my head towards him. I found it quite adorable the way he seemed to panic when I caught him. He would blush and I would laugh. Everything would be perfect, just how I wanted it to be. But of course, Kylie had to come home and ruin the moment. 

"Leah, I'm home!" She yelled as she walked through the door. She walked right into the living room and her eyes widened when her eyes landed on me and Harry cuddling on the couch. 

"Well, I think that's my cue to leave." Harry said awkwardly getting up from the couch. "I'll see you later, yeah?" He told me, leaning down and placing a kiss on my forehead. 

"Sure, see you." I replied giving him a smile. 

"Get well soon." He said as he walked past Kylie and out of the door. 

"Okay, you need to explain this." Kylie immediately said and sat down. "Are you guys, like, dating now?" 

"I don't know, sort of maybe?" I replied. "We went out for dinner earlier tonight, but he decided to stay here with me because I kind of threw up. He said I shouldn't be alone in this condition." 

"Aww, that's so cute!! He was worrying about you!" She squealed. "But what do you mean by 'I threw up'?" 

"I threw up, simple as that." I replied. "It's been happening since morning, but it's probably just the flu or something. Nothing to worry about, okay?" 

"Okay, I believe you." She said. "But now you've gotta tell me what happened between you and Harry last night. I saw you two getting close together." She said smirking. 

"Nothing happened, Kylie! We were just talking together." I lied. 

"Come on.. We both know that you didn't just 'bump into' him upstairs. You two were doing something together, but you won't tell me what." She said. 

Just thinking about me and Harry last night made me blush, and judging by the look on Kylie's face I think she figured it out. 

"Oh my god.. Did you guys do it?!" She asked which only made my cheeks more red. "You did!!" She gasped. 

"Yes, we did it.." I gave in looking down in embarrassment. "But promise you won't tell anyone about it, okay? Especially not dad or Wyatt. Dad will just get mad and Wyatt's too young to hear about this stuff." 

"Okay, I won't tell. Pinky promise." She said and linked our pinkys together. "This will be our secret."
