Take Good Care

Finally

After the fifth show in California, Harry insisted he take me out to dessert. I couldn't deny his charming offer, or a good slice of chocolate mouse cake. Harry and I shared intimate conversations over a candle lit dessert on a rooftop watching over a lit up yet quiet LA. It was very romantic and heart felt at the end of an interesting July. 

Harry's full attention was on me the whole dinner, but when I had to take a phone call from Lou about tomorrow's schedule with Lux, Harry checked his phone. He looked a bit weirded out so I quickly wrapped things up with Lou and hurried back to Harry.

"You okay there?" I asked Harry dazzlingly. 

"Yeah, Liam has just blown up my phone with messages asking me how the date-"

"So we're on a date?"

"Of course, I wouldn't waste your time, love. Anyway, he asked me how the date was going and how you were acting? The boy is a bit strange sometimes."

I laughed nervously.

"Do you know something I don't know, Dom?"

I looked around the room unsure of what to tell Harry.

"Please tell me now before things potentially get serious between us."

"You want things to get serious between us?"

"Erm... I guess."

"Like a relationship?"

"Erm... I don't know."

"Harry stop being shy and tell me your true intentions before I scare you away."

"Well I want to know what's going on before I say my true intentions."

"Harry."

"Dominique."

I laughed and threw my head back, knowing this was too good to be true.

"We only ever go in circles." Harry said with a disappointed look.

"Are you going to sing your song now about the same mistakes?"

"Dominique, this is serious."

"Okay, I'm sorry. But I don't want to be strung along and basically tell you my life right now for you only to run away. I'm sick of people doing that with me, thinking they can leave me when times are tough and I need them most."

"I understand, okay. And I've made it clear I would never do that to you every time I've played with your hair or reassured you or gave you a cuddle. I need you as much as you need me. Please just tell me what's going on in your life right now so I can protect you and trust you."

I gave Harry a hug and buried my head in the crook of his neck. I told him everything from my father, to the creepy chauffeur, Liam finding the notes, Niall having some feelings for me, and the bad things that may happen. I also told him I told Lou about everything also, and how she is being the most helpful, kind, motherly figure. 

Harry was taken aback. He had a look of pure shock on his face. He looked like he wanted to run. And I didn't blame him. 

"Dom...I..."

"I know, I understand, it's okay if you don't want to really-"

"No, no. Come here." Harry had a deep look of concern on his face as he took me in for another embrace.

"Dominique, it all makes sense now. Every thing. I was so confused and hurt thinking of why you didn't want anything to happen sooner between us. I feel like I can be better to you now since I know about all these tough things you're going through and make sure I'm there for you. I really care about you and I'd do anything to take away all your troubles and make them mine."

"You mean so much to me."

"You mean a lot to me."

Harry looked at me with his gorgeous green eyes and brown curly hair flowing in the wind. 

"Dominique, I don't want to see other people. I just want to see you."

"I just want to see you too, Harry."

"I really really like you."

"I really really adore you."

"So, I guess we're official then. We're...dating." Harry said with a smirk on his face.

I laughed and kissed him for a very long time.
