HANNA'S POV

"Again Harry!" I called out to him from across the studio. We were both breathing heavily but regardless Harry jogged to the other side of the room to take his position. I pressed the button on the remote and the music began. I had told him that if he wanted to be my dance partner it was going to have to be a lot of work. Personally I think he's being kind of a wuss cause I'm the one doing most of the dancing. 

I don't want to do this anymore

I don't want to be the reason why

Cause everytime I walk out the door

"Ow Harry!" I yelled as he stopped too soon in front of me and caused me to run into him. 

"Sorry!" He sighed. I could tell he was tired and I kind of felt bad. 

"Here, how about we finish for today?" I suggested as I paused the music. 

"That' sounds really good." He breathed. We walked over to our water bottles and he drained his all in one drink. 

"I told you it was going to be work." I reminded him. 

"Yeah I know, but still. Ever since you got out of the hospital you've literally done nothing but dance and do schoolwork." He retorted. I rolled my eyes. True. I had been really focused on dancing and schoolwork. I guess I didn't realize how much though...

"Well the competition is only two weeks away." I pointed out. He nodded in agreement as we walked out to the car. 

"I think we're almost ready. We just need to fix a few things." I huffed. 

"Like what?" 

"For one, you stopped too early. Secondly, I know this is going to be awkward, but you need to hold me closer. The closer we are, the more passion it seems we put into the dance. The judges like that so just... I don't know think about that or something when we dance." I uttered. As we reached the car, I went to open the door, but pulled my arm back when Harry shut the door almost taking off my fingers. 

"What the hell Harry?!" I exclaimed. "You almost chopped off my fingers!" He stayed silent and instead moved closer in front of me, pinning me against the car. He put one arm on each side of my head and leaned close to my face. 

"So do I need to be this close?" He breathed onto my face causing me to blink rapidly. 

"Or maybe a little closer..." He moved so that his entire body was againt mine keeping me still on the car. 

"Is this how close I need to be when we're dancing?" I nervously nodded my head because I was currently incapable of speaking. His head leaned down and he placed a gentle but lingering kiss on my neck. 

"Harry-" I was interrupted by the shrill ring of his phone. He sighed and rested his head on my shoulder and kept it there as he answered my phone. I was doing my best not to breathe too hard considering he could feel everything. 

"Yeah...yeah we'll meet you there in a couple hours....sure....bye." He finally lifted his head up  and leaned back slightly. 

"That was Liam, he wanted to know if you and I wanted to join him and Allie for dinner. I told him we'd go is that alright?" Somehow I knew he wouldn't take no for an answer so I decided to just nod my head again. 

"Good! Well we should get going so we can shower and get dressed. It's a fancy restaurant so wear something nice." He hinted. 

"I-I'll see what I have." I stuttered. He made me jump by reaching over and opening the car door for me. I politely thanked him and quickly got in. We drove home in silence but he didn't seem to mind. In fact, he almost seemed pleased with my reaction. As soon as we got home I jumped out of the car and rushed into my room. I took several deep breaths before calmly taking off my clothes to jump in the shower. 

"Hanna, you forgot your-OH SHIT!" Harry blurted as he walked in to see the back of me with only panties on. 

"HARRY GET OUT!!" I yelled. Without turning to look at him I jumped onto my bed and pulled a blanket over myself. When I heard the door close I turned around to find my empty room. I really needed to start locking my door when I change. I took my robe and walked to the bathroom and tried to ignore what just happened as I showered. 

After I was done I walked back into my room with my robe on and began to blow dry, then curl my hair. I was about halfway through when I heard a knock on my door. 

"Come in!" I called out. I already knew who it would be so I focused on my reflection in the mirror. 

"Hey." Harry said. 

"Hey." I said back. 

"Are you almost ready?" 

"Yeah, just give me about fifteen more minutes." I told him. He nodded and stood there awkwardly and I could tell he was trying to figure out how to form his sentence. 

"Just spit it out Harry." I snapped. I didn't mean to seem rude but sometimes things just come out that way. 

"I'm sorry for walking in on you. You had forgotten your bag in the car when you ran out so I was coming to give it back to you and I just walked in without thinking... I'm sorry. And I didn't see anything. It was just your back and your butt. Basically you in a bikini kind of. Well not really but you get what I mean it's just-"

"Harry." I cut him off. 

"Yeah?"

"It's okay. Just knock next time okay?" I suggested with a smile. He looked relieved I wasn't mad at him and smiled back at my reflection. 

"I'll be downstairs when you're ready." He said as he backed out of my doorway. 

"Okay, I'll be down soon." I finished curling my hair and then applied my makeup. I put on faint traces of light blue eyeshadow to match my dress (A/N pic on the side) and on a pretty layer of pink lipstick. I slipped on a pair of silver high heels and grabbed my silver clutch before walking downstairs. 

Harry was sitting on the couch watching some boring reality TV show when he heard the clack of my heels as I walked down the stairs. The look on his face when he saw me was priceless. I admit, I dressed up a little bit to impress him, I don't know why, but either way I wasn't going to tell him that. 

"Ready to go?" I asked. 

"Y-yeah. Liam and Allie are almost there so we should get going." He stuttered as he stood up. He was wearing a nice white dress shirt and black dress pants with a navy blue blazer on top. He extended his arm for me to take so I wrapped mine around his as he led us to the car. Little did I know it wasn't going to be the quiet evening I had envisioned.
