"Darling, wake up." I hear Harry call as his arms wrap around me. I keep my eyes closed as he brings my body closer to his, the covers between us. "Sweetheart, please, wake up."

I let a sigh escape me. "Why?"

"I have breakfast waiting for you." He informs me.

"You cooked?" I inquire, opening my eyes and blinking them a few times to adjust to the light.

"More like, went out and picked it up." He replies, biting his lips as he tries to keep from smiling.

"Maybe I should teach you how to cook." I suggest, holding back my laugh. "It isn't as hard as you'd think."

"Mmm, possibly one of these days." He mutters then places a sweet kiss to my lips. "C'mon. Breakfast is going to get cold." He gets up from the bed then turns back to me, waiting on me to get up.

"It's so far away." I playfully whine, reaching out to the open door. "And I don't have any pants on."

"Hey, I don't have a problem with that." He chuckles, grabbing my outstretched and pulling me out of bed.

"I was so comfy." I pout.

"We can always come back after breakfast." He tells me, winking toward me before leading me to the kitchen. I can't help but to laugh slightly at his remark before I sit down on a stool beside him. "Eat up, love."

The weekend seems to go by in a quick blur and I find myself working on Tuesday already. Harry and I spent our days laughing and having a fun time while our nights were spent locked in his bedroom. I don't think I've ever been so attracted to a man before, in all honesty. And it's not just his physical qualities that attract me and have caused me to fall in love with him, it's his personality and his charm.

But it worries me that Harry has been acting rather distant ever since Sunday afternoon. He barely texts two words and doesn't talk much when we're on the phone. I keep worrying that I've done something wrong or that I've messed something up. There's something going on in that head of his, though, and it kills me that he won't talk to me about it. I want to help him with whatever problem he's facing. I don't want him to have to deal with it on his own.

"Hey, Nic." Jen calls out as she opens the door to the store, waltzing in and up to the counter.

"Hi." I reply. "Where've you been? I tried to get ahold of you but you didn't answer any of my texts or calls until yesterday."

"Oh, uh, just had a weekend away." She replies, her eyes casting down.

"So you have this secret guy that I have no idea about and you went on a weekend away with him? And you're not gonna tell me about it?" I question her, causing her cheeks to turn a light shade of pink.

"Ha-ha. You're real funny." She fake laughs, in which I roll my eyes.

"Okay, that's fine, don't tell me." I reply. "I just won't share anything with you about my weekend either."

"Oh my gosh, no, you've gotta tell me everything." She immediately locks eyes with me again and grasps my hand.

"A lady doesn't fuck and tell." I say, smirking afterward.

"You guys did the do, holy shit." She mutters in disbelief. "I know you didn't just fuck, right? Harry's a gentleman and you're in love with him. There's no way it was a fuck."

I laugh. "No, it wasn't a fuck. It was, uh, love making as everyone calls it." I wiggle my eyebrows at her. "More than once."

"Was it weird to do that after Natalia and everything?" She asks.

"No, not really." I reply, shrugging my shoulders a bit. "It felt right to do and it was in the heat of the moment. He was very romantic and loving during the whole thing."

"Ashton might could-" She begins but stops herself mid-sentence, her face turning red.

"So his name is Ashton?" I inquire, a grin growing across my face. "Definitely got to meet this one."

"You might meet him soon." She mumbles. "What about Darcy and Louis? What've they been up to is the real question."

"As far as I know, Louis is a sweetheart and Darcy is about eighty-nine percent positive that she's falling head over heels for him." I inform her. "They're really cute together."

"I know. I've seen them a few times and they're really adorable." She remarks. "Why don't we all go on a triple-date or something?"

"Because you have a mystery man that no one but you knows about." I remind her. "Where exactly is Darcy, anyway?"

"Isn't she babysitting Nat?"

"No." I shake my head. "Mawmaw is doing that."

"She's probably up Louis' ass." She mutters. "Oh well. Anyway, just popped in for a quick visit. Gotta run." She shrugs then starts towards the exit.

"Where are you going?" I inquire.

"To be up Ashton's ass." She laughs before waving goodbye and leaving me in the store alone.

Arriving at home after a long day of working, Natalia is still napping so I lay her across the couch and sit in the chair, flipping on the television and watching something on it. But I don't even watch it. My mind wanders to Harry instantly.

I'm still really worried about how distant he's acting. He's barely spoken to me all day. Usually, he's asking how my days going or how work went. He hasn't ever been so quiet before. It's strange to me.

If I messed something up between us or said something I shouldn't have, maybe he'll tell me soon so I can apologize. I don't like this shit at all right now. He's worrying me a lot. I want to go over to his house and try to make him talk to me about whatever he's trying to deal with on his own but I know it won't help at all. He wants to deal with it by himself and he just wants me to leave him alone.

"Mommy." Nat calls out. I look over to her to see that she's sat up now, rubbing her eyes with her little hands.

"What is it, baby?" I ask, going over to her and sitting with her.

"I have a drink?"

"Of course. I'll go fix it."

-A/N-

Just a filler chapter xD hope you enjoyed it though

Questions:
1. What do you think is gonna happen in the epilogue?

2. And, really, how many epilogues do I have planned? There is more than one; a real one and then alternate ending one(s).

3. How many of you think you're gonna be very emotional/cry during the epilogue?

I spent most of the day with my cousin and her baby is why this update is so late.

All the love x
