Chapter 22:

I was a little reluctant to get up this morning, I was too comfy in bed to move. I opened my eyes and sighed, looking to my left and seeing Zazu curled up next to me, fast asleep. I stroked him briefly and got up, grabbing my towel and strolled towards the shower. I felt the water cascade down my body as I washed my hair, the familiar smell taking over my senses; as I stood, my mind wandered to Harry and if he was feeling okay this morning, I had decided to ring him later on anyway but I can't help wondering how he's doing.

I exited the shower and walked to my room already planning my outfit, I put on my matching underwear and browsed through my wardrobe to find the right clothes. Looking out the window I saw it was a scorching day, I had chosen denim shorts with a army coloured green tank top tucked in. I slipped on my flats and called Harry, after a few rings his voice sounded through my phone.

"Hello?" he spoke groggily, clearly hungover. I giggled.

"Hey, how're you feeling?" I asked concerned yet slightly amused.

"Like death." he said bluntly, "Will you come over?" he asked. I smiled already getting up and grabbing my bag.

"Of course I will. I'll be there soon." I hung up and wrote a quick note for Hayley.

Hey Hayles,

I've gone to Harry's for a bit, he isn't feeling to good after last night so I'm going to look after him for a while. I think Niall will need you today as well, if Harry's state is anything to go by. I have fed and watered Zazu so could you let him out when you get up please? Thank you :) I'll speak to you later hun.

Love Em's xx.

I ran down the stairs closely followed by a now wide awake Zazu as he walked with me into the kitchen. I did my usual routine of emptying the cat food into his bowl before throwing the packet in the bin, then changing his water.

"See you later Zaz" I spoke stroking him one last time before walking out of the door and to my car.

My phone buzzed whilst I was driving seeing there was a message from Harry,

Sexy Styles: there is a spare key in the plant beside the door .x

I parked the car and walked up to the plant, digging my hand in the soil to find the small piece of silver metal. I found it successfully and inserted it into the door with no problem. I silently made my way towards the kitchen, washing my hand and getting a glass of water for Harry. Once I was done I made my way upstairs and into his bedroom, seeing him sprawled in a different position on the bed with his boxer-covered bum on full show; I giggled and put his water on the bedside table to his left.

"Nice bum" I said casually, I heard him chuckle quietly into his pillow as he moved onto one side so I could get under the covers. He was half out of the covers and half in as he slowly opened his bloodshot eyes to see me; he smiled solemnly and rested his hand on my hip.

"I brought you a glass of water." I spoke quietly to sooth his obviously agitated headache. He glanced over his shoulder to see the water and turned back to look at me.

"Thank you for taking care of me Em's" he whispered softly and genuinely as he rubbed his thumb over my hip, gradually pulling me closer as we lay next to each other.

"Well no-one else would so, I kind of had to." I replied cheekily, giving him a wink to which he giggled.

"Uhhh," he groaned raising his hand in an attempt to sooth his headache "my head is banging." I lowered his hand and brought his head to me, kissing it lightly before gazing into his eyes.
