'Taste the rainbow (Harry Styles fan-fic)'

chapter 10: you'll catch a cold

Veronica's POV

I slammed the pillow onto his face. "Up now loser!" I screamed into his ear and giggled, running an hiding like a child. Harry groaned and got up looking around. I peeked out of the crack between his closet doors and smiled, not daring to make a sound. He smirked and got up slowly looking for me. "Veri.....Ron....where are you?" He taunted. I squealed mentally and hid further in his closet. I tried to fit behind the clothes and the hangers clacked in the silence. My eyes went wide and I prayed he hadn't heard.

I kept my eyes closed, nothing had happened. I thought he might have left actually and let out a sigh of relief. "GOTCHA!" The closet door burst open and Harry's strong arms picked me up around the waist and slung me over his shoulder. "Put me down!" I squealed. "Never." He said happily and brought me to his bed. He threw me gently onto it and sighed. "Why'd you wake me up so horribly?" I laughed and fell onto his bed. "Because, I've decided we're going for a bicycle ride." Harry raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" I nodded and hugged him tightly for no reason. "Well get dressed and meet me outside." He nodded and quickly got up.

I changed into some kaki shorts and a cute floral top with a little white bow belt and some flats before pulling up my hair and placing a small bow on the back of it. I nodded in satisfaction and headed downstairs. "Where are you off to?" Louis asked suddenly coming around the corner. I jumped and smiled, "Hey Lou, I'm off on a bicycle ride with Hazza! Wanna join?" He shook his head. "The queen doesn't get sweaty." Then he left the room. I chuckled and headed outside finding the cute bikes I'd found. I hopped on the mint colored one perfect for my size and gripped the old fashioned handlebars, or banana bikes as people called them.

I sighed and waited, pulling out my phone and checking twitter. The usual of you're so pretty to go die was listed. I payed no mind to them, I just didn't care for death threats I mean seriously. Come on people, give me a challenge! "Veronica!" I snapped my head up and saw a concerned Harry. "You okay there?" I smiled. "Yeah sorry, get on! You're showing me London." Harry smiled and nodded. "It may rain so we can't stay out long." I just brushed it off and pointed to the outside. "Go on then!"

He laughed and started to ride out if the gate and into the streets of London.

"Now this, is the London eye!" He called out over the pouring rain. I laughed at his soaked figure being pelted with rain as he stood out in it still happy as ever, showing me London. "Harry! Come on, you'll catch a cold!" I shouted. "What?!" I ran out into the rain and pulled him to the cover of the small shop that had closed. Our bikes ended up falling apart a few miles back so we were stuck walking.

He and I hid under the small roofing, our bodies flush together. "Hey." I said softly. "Hey." He replied. I got a good moment to look at him, his green dazzling eyes that pulled me in, his cute button nose and dimple when he smiled, and those lips. So pink and delicate for a guy. I wonder how they felt. "Why don't you feel them for yourself then?" I looked up at Harry with shock. "You talk out loud." He whispered and slowly pulled me into him, our lips just centimeters apart. He was taking too long.

"God just kiss me." I said and slammed my lips into his. I pulled him out into the rain and snaked my arms around his waist, holding onto his warmth. He smiled into the kiss and damn were his lips as soft as they looked. I pulled away slowly, a new sparkle in my eyes and looked up at him. "You'll catch a cold Veri." I smiled and snuggled into his chest. "I'll be warm with you here." We waited for another hour in the rain just holding each other with the occasional scatter of people running by. The rain finally cleared up and Harry and I began our long way back to the house, holding hands.

I fell onto my bed and thought. Just thought about everything that'd happened today and smiled. My hand slowly reached up to touch my lips, the soft tingle still there in my memory. I smiled and had the overwhelming feeling inside me. I squeezed and pillow and smiled like a freak, all giddy inside. "Oh Veri Pretty, come here." I looked up and saw an amused expression on Harry's face as he extended a hand to me.

I got up and took it, as he led me to a new room upstairs and a small staircase leading to the roof. He led me upstairs and sat us down on the cool shingles of the roof. I gave him a questioning face but he just pointed to the sky and said, "Wait." I listened and waited when finally, a small crack like a whistle went off and light shattered through the air, cascading down in a shimmer of glittering colors.

"Fireworks!" I exclaimed, immediately leaning forward to get a better look, though I'm sure this was the best look you could possibly get. More colors and sounds shattered the air, blinding my eyes but leaving my mind scarred with images of beautiful cascading clumps of greens, pinks, blues, oranges, reds, and yellows. I smiled amazed at how the colors came first and the sound came later. I felt a large hand fall onto the small of my back and pull my small frame into his lap.

I looked up at Harry and smiled. "This is amazing, thank you." He nuzzled into my neck and pointed out again. I watched as line after line of fireworks shot up and burst into letters, more like words: Be Mine? I looked at Harry in shock and he smiled down at me. "Yes." I whispered and pulled him close to me, hugging him tightly. "It's weird to think we hated each other and just like that," suddenly a firework went off and I giggled at the coincidence, "We're together." Harry smiled and cooed at my laugh.

"I'm just happy that I'm finally with you." I snuggled into him more and at one point fell asleep. I could feel him pick me up and cradle me in his arms before being slowly laid down on a bed and having covers covering me. I opened my eyes and lazily got out, grabbing one of his shirts on the floor and changing into it, crawling back into his bed and laying under the soft covers. The bed dipped down later and Harry's strong arm wrapped around my waist, bringing me close to him and kissing my forehead lightly. "Goodnight baby." He whispered. I snuggled into his warmth and sighed in content. Right now, I'd give anything to stay like this with Harry.
