Harry's POV:

This morning I woke up with my arms wrapped around Stella for the second time since I met her. The only difference was this time, she was my girlfriend. She was mine. I looked down at her and smiled. How did I get so lucky to be able to call this amazing girl MY girlfriend? She is so beautiful. Her thick, long lashes were slowly fluttering open. Her pink full lips were so perfect, it took everything I had to not lean in and kiss her. She opened her eyes and looked straight at me. "Good morning beautiful" I said softly. She smiled and kissed my chest. I was wearing nothing but my boxers and I gave her one of my t-shirts to throw on last night just so she felt comfortable. "Hello, boyfriend" she said winking. "What time is it?" she asked me. "Only 9:30, it's still early, besides, you have the day off! We can stay in bed as long as we want to." I told her pulling her even closer to me. I felt her little arms wrap around my waist. This was perfect, I could stay like this forever. Her in my arms and me in hers. I love the way she makes me feel. All of these feelings are so new to me. I have never felt so close to a girl before. Was I in love with her? No, I can't be, its way too soon. "I have to get up, I promised Cristina her and I would do something today. I feel bad, I have hardly seen her over the past week." she said releasing me from her grip. My heart ached a little when she let go. Why? She was just going down the hall to her room. Oh God, maybe I am falling in love. "Yeah of course, do you want to do something later on then?" I asked her. "Yeah that's perfect. I should get going then, and Harry? Last night, thank you for not pushing me for more. I have never done anything like that before and I really appreciate how much of a gentleman you were about it." she said quietly. "Stella, I will never force you to do anything that you aren't comfortable with, that's a promise." I told her kissing her on the cheek. She pulled the covers off of her, grabbed her clothes, gave me a kiss on the mouth and headed out of my condo. I couldn't wait to tell the boys that she accepted!

Stella's POV:

I am in such a great mood right now. I am so happy that Harry and I finally decided to date. Something inside me is telling me that I still need to be careful but I quickly push that thought to the back of my mind. All that matters right now is that Harry is my boyfriend and I could not be happier. My mind is racing as I think about what happened between us last night. Harry touched me like no one has touched me before. Sure when I lived in Toronto there had been a few guys that I had made out with, but I have never done anything like that with anyone ever before, not even with Mason. I cringed at the thought of Mason. I unlocked the door to my condo and found Cristina and Niall sitting at the table both of them with coffees in front of them. "Hey Niall!" I said waving to him. "Um I believe it is way past your curfew young lady." he said teasing me. "Haha, very funny Niall" I say rolling my eyes at him. Cristina giggles and puts her hand over his. "Alright, well I will leave you two to enjoy the rest of your morning, I will be back later!" he says giving Cristina a quick peck and leaving the condo. "Cristina" I begin. "I am so sorry about these past few days, I have barely seen you! I just got caught up with my studio time, and well...Harry. I am so sorry" I tell her apologetically. "Hey Stel, don't worry, I totally get it! You are busy! I understand that! I knew it would be like that when we moved here! You need to focus on your music and I am here to do anything I can to help you. Besides, I want to know about Harry so get over here and spill" she says smiling. I know that Cristina and I, no matter what, always understand each other. We haven't gotten into a major fight in years. I pour myself a cup of coffee and run to my room to throw on a pair of sweats. After all, I am only in Harry's shirt and my panties from last night. I sit at the table and begin to tell her what has happened over the past few days. I tell her about how Harry asked me to be his girlfriend and I also tell her about our little "experience" last night. "Stella Anna Adamo, you did what last night?" she said covering her mouth laughing out loud. I blushed. "How was it? How do you feel? Oh my God, who knew you would ever do that with Harry Styles!" she said laughing. "Well, it was amazing, I never thought one person could make me feel so good! He was very kind and gentle about it, he didn't force me to do anything that I wasn't ready for!" I told her. "Good, I'm glad he's a gentleman because if he wasn't I would have to kick his ass." Cristina says raising 2 fists. I laugh and say "Yeah, he should be terrified of you!" She frowns at me and we continue to talk about my past few days at the studio and the tour with the boys. "I knew about the tour already!" Cristina said smiling at me. "What do you mean? How?" I ask her. "Well the other day when I went to look for jobs with Niall, we dropped in at Simon's house and we chatted for a bit about you and how you were going to be the opening act for the boys upcoming world tour. Then he offered me a job as representative to you! This means that I will be coming on the tour as well, I will be selling merchandise for you at the concert venues and I will also help you with interviews and appearances and stuff like that!" she explained. "What? Oh my God that's great! Are you sure that's what you want to be doing? I mean I feel bad, you always have wanted to go into the cosmetology field!" I tell her. "Yeah no I really want to do this, plus, Simon told me to talk to someone named Lou, who is apparently your stylist who will be with us for almost the whole tour. She said that she would love to teach me what she knows and then eventually I will be a stylist as well! It all works out perfectly!" Cristina said excitedly. "Oh my God that's so great! You are going to LOVE Lou, she is so amazing! This is going to be so much fun! All of us together!" I shout as I jump up and hug Cristina. We both laugh and agree that its time to do get ready. We were going to go for lunch and then do some shopping. I went to my room and showered washing my hair and drying it naturally. I put on very little make up and checked the weather. It was supposed to be sunny but chilly out today so I put on a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and a gray t-shirt with a small pocket on the boob. I pulled on a thick, slouchy Brandy Melville cardigan and sprayed myself with my peppermint body spray. I slipped my feet into my white converse and put on a few gold rings. I swiped my lips with my favourite nude lip gloss and walked into the kitchen at the same time as Cristina. We both laughed at how perfect our timing was. She was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a light gray over the shoulder sweater. On her feet she had on a pair of black lace Toms. We locked the door of our condo and Cristina said "Oh yeah, I totally forgot to tell you, Simon gave me these keys to give to you the other day." "Oh my God, these are the keys to a Range Rover..." I said. "SIMON COWELL BOUGHT ME A RANGE ROVER!" I yelled way to excitedly. I ran to the parking lot and saw the beautiful, shiny black car parked. I walked up to it and ran my fingers over the doors. I unlocked it and jumped into the drivers seat. There was a note on the steering wheel that said 'Stella, please enjoy this gift from me to you as a welcome to London. I am very excited to be working with you! Lots of love, Simon.' "What the hell, it's literally like he bought me lunch only he didn't, he bought me a very expensive car. A very expensive, beautiful car." I added. Cristina sat in the passenger seat and laughed. "Welcome to London I guess" she said smiling at me. I put the keys in the ignition and we drove off. We found a nice little restaurant about 20 minutes away from our condo. We pulled in and were seated within minutes. I was looking down at the menu when I heard a familiar voice speak "Hey ladies, can I get you something to drink to start off with?" I looked up to see the handsome viewer that I met the other day, Nick, was that his name? "Stella, hey! Are you following me?" he said winking. I blushed and replied with "I didn't know you work here!" Cristina was looking at me with her eyebrow raised. "Yeah I work here part time!" he says smiling at me. "Oh, good for you!" I smile. "What can I get you to drink?" Nick asks. "I'll have a sweet tea please" I say. "And for yourself?" he asks Cristina "I'll have a coke please" she said eyeing him carefully. "Of course, I'll be right back with your drinks." he smiles at me and turns towards the kitchen. "Uh Stel, who and what was that?" she questions. "No one, he was just a viewer that I ran into the other day, why?" I ask her raising and eyebrow at her. Why did she seem so concerned? "Uh, he didn't seem like he was just a viewer. Did you not see the way he would look at you when you talked to him? He was all over you Stel!" Cristina said sounding very shocked that I didn't catch that vibe. "What? No way, he was just being friendly" I told her. "Sure...whatever you say" she said rolling her eyes. I ignore her and take another look at the menu. Nick is back a few minutes later with our drinks. "So are you ladies ready to order?" he asks flashing me a smile. Weird. "Uh yeah! I'll have the chicken Caesar salad please." I tell him trying my best to not make eye contact with him. "Me too" Cristina says giving him an evil stare. "No problem" he says walking away. "Cristi, you can't just look at him like that! First of all, we don't even know for sure that he likes me." I scold her. "Stella you have got to be kidding me! He is totally into you! I can't believe that you don't see it! Did you tell him you have a boyfriend?" she asks me. "No? I didn't have one when I met him, what was I supposed to say when I saw him here? Hi Nick, guess what? I have a boyfriend!" I told her laughing. "Well, I'm telling you, he likes you." I roll my eyes and change the subject. When Nick come back with our food he says "Let me know if you girls need anything else, oh and Stella? Do you think maybe we could go out sometime?" "Oh um, I uh, I have a boyfriend! I'm sorry!" I say apologizing! What why would I apologize? Ugh, I hate it when Cristina is right. "Oh yeah, no its fine! I'm sorry I asked!" he said quickly turning away. "Oh my god, I feel so bad right now!" I said to Cristina. "You shouldn't! It's not your fault, he is too late! Oh and by the way... I TOLD YOU SO!" she said laughing. I am never going to hear the end of this. When we were done eating, I asked Nick to bring us the bill. He looked at me and smiled at me with his crystal blue eyes and said "Don't worry about it, it's on the house" "What? No I can't let you do that!" I say to him. "It's fine, its the least I can do, again I'm sorry about before." he apologized again. "No no, don't worry and thank you so much Nick! I owe you one!" Cristina and I spent the rest of the morning/early afternoon shopping. When we got back to our condo, I changed into my black leggings and Pink off the shoulder sweater. I wasn't going anywhere for the rest of the day and I wanted to be comfortable. Cristina just left to go hang out with Liam, Niall and Danielle. She mentioned something about a double date that the four of them were going on. There was a knock at the door and I was way to lazy to get off the couch to answer it. "COME IN!" I yelled. I turned to the door to see who it was. I saw Harry walk in looking absolutely gorgeous in his black sweats and white t-shirt. He could be wearing a brown paper bag and still be gorgeous. I smiled and got up off the couch and made my way over to him. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Hi Harry" I whispered. "Hello love." he replied. "How was your day?" I asked him. "It was alright thank you, how was yours?" he asked. "Good thank you" I answered leaving out the whole lunch situation. I didn't seem important so I didn't feel the need to tell Harry. "Thirsty?" I asked Harry heading to the kitchen. "Uh, um, yeah, I yeah, sure." he stuttered. I turned around to see why he was acting like that when I noticed he was staring directly at my bum. "Harry, take it a picture, it will last longer." I said winking at him. "I love those leggings." he said winking at me. I did have quite a large bum. I was Italian, I couldn't help it! I would never be one of the skinny girls with no bum or boobs. I had both and there was no amount of work outs or diets that would change that. I walked to the fridge and pulled out two bottles of mineral water when I felt Harry's hands wrap around my waist. I put the bottles down and turned to face him. "I don't recall getting a proper hello" he said with his raspy voice straight into my ear. I pressed my lips against his opening my mouth giving him entrance. We continued to kiss as his arms reached down and squeezed my bum gently. I let out a little gasp. His arms reached down and pulled me up and sat me on the counter. I spread my legs slightly and Harry moved right in between them leaving no space between us. Our mouths moved together as his hand slid up my shirt and rested on my stomach. This small touch sent shivers down my spine. I could feel my stomach flutter. We separated from the kiss slowly and looked into each others eyes. "Hello" I said softly running my fingers through his mess of curls. "Much better." Harry said winking at me. We spend the rest of the day hanging out, just enjoying each others company. We decided that later tonight, when it starts to get darker, that we would go to the roof pool for a night swim together. I haven't been in the water with Harry since our lake swim. I was nervous and excited all at the same time. Who knew what would happen up there...
