Infinity *editing*

Chapter 12

       The next morning I woke up to the sun shining through the window, blinding me. I really needed to get some curtains. I looked over next to me to find empty sheets. I got up and walked downstairs. I walked into the kitchen to see Kiera sitting at the counter, and Harry and Niall flipping pancakes.

"What's this?" I asked as I sat down next to Kiera.

"Our lovely boyfriends are making us a "welcome home breakfast” apparently." Kiera explained.

"Oh, how thoughtful!" I said. Niall came over to the counter and put down plates in front of us. The Harry came around with pancakes and put some on Kiera's plate. Then he came over and slid some onto mine while he bent over and kissed me lightly on the cheek.

"You know, you look adorable when you sleep." he whispered in my ear so nobody else could hear. I looked at him and blushed a little. I didn't know it, but I was starving. I devoured the pancakes in a matter of 2 minutes. The others just stared at me.

"What? I was hungry." I defended myself. After that I got up, put my dishes in the sink, and then went upstairs to shower and get ready. I hopped in the shower, and then did my hair and makeup. I got changed into jean shorts, a peach tank top with ruffles, and white flip flops. There was a knock at my door. I went and opened it. It was Harry. He didn't look to good. He looked kind of depressed. I motioned for him to come in.

"Harry, what's wrong? You look upset." I said as we both sat on my bed.

"Lily, there's something I need to tell you." he said nervously.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"Well, the boys and I have to go to California for a couple months. We have to do more marketing there and we're having a concert." he explained.

"So, that was kind of like a goodbye breakfast." I asked.

"You're not mad are you?" he asked.

"No, I mean why would I be? I know it's your job. You have to." I said. "Hey, what if I came with you!" I said, my face lighting up a bit.

"Lily, I don't think that's such a good idea......." he said a little unsure.

"Why not?" I asked.

"It's just...I..."

"You don't want me to be there?" I interrupted him.

"No, it's not that! I would love it if you came! It's just, management wouldn't be to happy." he told me.

"Oh, right, management."

"Please don't be angry. I don't really have a choice." he begged.

"I'm not angry, I understand. Don't sweat it. When do you guys leave?" I asked.

"In about a month." he said.

"Oh. Okay." I replied. Harry stood up in front of me and put out his hands for me to take. I grabbed them and he pulled my up off the bed so that I was facing him.

"I'll miss you Lily." he said.

"I'll miss you to Harry." I replied. Then he pressed his lips gently to mine. The kiss was sweet, and got a little heated at times. I thought now was the time to tell him about what I had decided last night. I pulled away, and Harry looked at me.

"Harry..."

"I'm sorry. I know, I'll stop." he said.

"No, Harry, I think I'm ready now." I told him.

"Really? You sure?" he asked me, his face lighting up a bit.

"Yeah, I thought about it last night, and I realized how much I love and trust you, and that you aren't like those other guys. So, I've decided that I'm ready." I finally said.

"Okay, well if you're ready then I'm ready." Then he brought his lips to mine once again. He tapped my thigh, signaling for me to jump. So I did, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, as he went against the wall. The kiss got a little to heated for me so I pulled away for a second and managed to say something.

"Harry don't push it." I warned him. He held me for a few more seconds and then put me down. He looked down at me with disappointment in his eyes. "I'm sorry Harry, it's gonna take more time before I'm as ready as you are."

"Okay, I can wait." he said. He pecked my lips once more and then walked out of the room, leaving me standing there against the wall, my eyes beginning to water. I didn't want this to be the reason for us to fall apart. I didn't want us to fall apart at all. I walked out onto my balcony, the cool summer breeze blowing through my hair. I looked down at my wrist to see the infinity bracelet Harry had gotten me. It reminded me that we were forever infinity, and nothing could tear us apart, not even me not being ready enough, or him leaving. I would try my hardest to make our relationship better. For me, for him, for us.
