Ditched (a Harry Styles love story)

Chapter 17

Yellow, guys! I'm back and I hope this chapter is satisfactory. I have some great news for me and maybe for you guys depending on how much you like this story. I got all of my AP summer homework done (I think, I really hope so) and that means updates should be more and more frequent until school starts up again. Just to warn you, when that happens the updates will probably become less frequent. Anywho, I hope you enjoy.

***Elizabeth's P.O.V.***

''What ever happened to a passion I could live for? What became of the flame that mad me feel more?'' I sang as I twirled around my room, listening to the blaring music. Harry and Louis were out at an interview with the boys and I had the flat to myself for a while. It had been two day since the truth and dare thing and the whole time the boys had been rushing everywhere for interviews. Today was Wednesday and apparently this was their last major event that they had for the month. I had finally finished my book and all that was left was the small amount of revising for finality, so that's why I was running around happily. ''And when did I forget....'' I trailed off when I heard the front door open but quickly shrugged it off. ''That I was made to love you, I was made to find you, I was made just for you, made to adore you,'' I continued, as loud, if not louder than before. I turned around, stopping when I heard a chuckle from the door and I saw Harry standing there looking quite amused.

''You really do have a nice voice,'' Harry complimented as he walked further into the room. I blushed scarlet, suddenly feeling uncomfortable in my pajama shorts and tank top.

I smiled at him, shutting off my ihome and then faced him again, ''thanks. I didn't realize you guys were back.''

''Well, I am, Louis said something about wanting to get coffee,'' Harry informed me, ''you seem happier than usual.''

I bit my lip and smiled as I nodded, ''I finished.''

''Finished?'' he wondered out loud.

''With my book, I'm finally done!'' I exclaimed happily.

He smiled also, ''that's great, now what's going to happen?''

I tapped my chin while I thought, ''I'll have to get it copyrighted and then find a publisher.''

''Well, I could probably help with the publisher thing, after all I am famous I bet I could find someone,'' he shrugged as if it was no big deal.

I gaped at him in disbelief, ''really? You would do that?''

He smiled shyly at me and nodded, ''I don't see why not. I mean, if you want me to help and all I can but if you don't-.''

I interrupted him by tackling him in a hug as a goofy grin spread across my lips and my legs wrapped around his torso. He surprisingly hugged back, on hand on the small of my back and the other underneath my thigh as he held me up. ''Thank you so much,'' I whispered happily as I felt him nuzzle my neck slightly. His curls tickled my cheek and I giggled slightly as I added a last word onto my sentence, ''Curly.'' He chuckled as he set me down gently and then pulled me into the kitchen, gently pushing me onto one of the swirly bar stools. He headed to the refrigerator and pulled out something I had bought on Sunday; a bottle of sparkling grape juice. He peeled off the foil on the top and opened the bottle, taking out what looked like wine glasses from the cupboard.

''I think this deserves a celebration,'' he smiled as he poured it out into the glasses and handed one to me.

''What about the boys?'' I questioned, ''do you think they would like to celebrate with us?''

He seemed to tense up when I said the words but then smiled again, ''they're off doing things today sadly, but we can celebrate. Just the two of us.''

''I like that,'' I smiled as the liquid circled around the glass. Harry sat down next to me and did the same with his glass.

''Me too,'' he smirked as he held his glass out. ''To you, for finishing your book.''

''Cheers,'' I smiled as our glasses clanked together and we both took a sip of our drinks. ''I feel underdressed for this occasion,'' I giggled.

He chuckled and looked me over then he looked at himself. At least he was wearing casual clothes, I was wearing pajamas. ''It's your occasion, you should get to dress the way you want to,'' he joked and I smiled at him. ''Anyways, it still doesn't matter, because you look beautiful.''

I laughed but then realized that he wasn't laughing along with me, he looked completely serious. ''Oh, you weren't joking,'' I sighed.

He shook his head, ''Why would I be joking?''

''I don't know,'' I shrugged, ''I guess it was just unexpected.''

Harry smiled, ''I like to say unexpected things, especially if they're true.''

''What's your game, Curly,'' I teased skeptically.

''No game, just stating a simple truth,'' Harry shrugged before taking the glass gently from my hand and leaning forward in his chair. ''Louis said he was going to get coffee, but knowing him, he'll end up getting side tracked. So, we should have a while before he comes back. What do you want to do?''

''Well,'' I said, thinking, ''I'd like to take into account your activity in the past few days. Maybe we should just relax, for your sake.''

He smiled widely, ''thanks, I like that idea.'' We walked into the living room and I sat on the couch. ''How about a movie?'' he asked and I nodded. When he sat down on the couch I laid back, my head resting in his lap as I looked at the screen. A name flashed across the screen and I looked up at Harry.

''Love Actually?'' I questioned.

''Yeah, it's my favorite movie, why?'' he explained.

''I've never seen it before,'' I stated as I looked back at the screen.

''I think you'll like it, it's a romantic comedy,'' he told me and I smiled as I felt his hand run through my hair.

''Sounds nice,'' I whispered as he pressed play on the movie.
