Heart On Fire - One Direction

Chapter 5

Emma’s POV

After talking a bit with Louis and an refreshing and waking up shower I walk down the stairs.

"Morning," I hear Liam say to me from the couch. 

"Hey," I greet him back. 

"How's the hangover? Louis told me you drank a lot last night," Liam asks and I look at him.

"My headache is killing me and I don't remember anything from it, but apart from that it's fine." I give him a sarcastic smile and he chuckles. 

"I can hear that." He comments. 

I groan softly and walk to the kitchen, where I grab a bowl which I fill with some cereal. I don't feel like a heavy breakfast this morning. Or should I call it lunch since it's already past twelve..? Who cares. I grab a spoon and walk back to the couch, where I take a seat. I cross my legs and start eating. 

When I finish my cereal I put the bowl on the table. At the same time Niall walks in the livingroom. "Morning Liam, Emma. You might wanna check up your Twitter." He says. 

"What, me?" I ask and I look at Niall, he nods, afterwards he walks to the kitchen.

I grab my cellphone and start the Twitter app. I have thousands of mentions. "Whoa, what did I do?" I ask generally. I open one of the mentions with a picture and gasp. The picture contains Harry and me, making out in the club, yesterday. "Oh God," I cry.

"Whoa, who died?" I look up to see Louis smiling at me. 

"I did. There all these pictures of me and Harry all over Twitter!" I complain and I groan afterward.

"Oh, that sucks," Louis comments and I nod. 

"No way," I say sarcastically. Like this day couldn't get any worse. 

 It could get worse. Even though my headache has reduced a lot due to some painkillers, I still feel terrible and I still have to talk to Harry about what happened in the club.

Most of the time in the afternoon I spend on the couch, in front of the television, but when I see it's almost four I get up. I need to get over with this talk as soon as possible. By then I have no idea where Harry is so I just start looking for him in the garden, at the pool. When he's not there I walk back in to the house, up the stairs and to his bedroom. He isn't there either. I sigh.

I walk the last stairs up, to the highest floor of the house. On that floor there's some game room and some kind of roof terrace. I hear to guys laughing, most definitely Harry and Louis and walk in to the game room. 

"Hi," I look first at Louis and then at Harry. "Can we talk?" I ask Harry and he nods. 

Louis' smile fades a bit, he's sensing what's coming propably. "Should I go?" He asks.

"Nah, we'll take the terrace." I answer and I give him a small smile. Harry agrees and we walk to there. 

I shut the door behind us and take a deep breath. "What do you want to talk about?" Harry asks, smiling. 

"Last night." I answer shortly. 

"Ah, the night you don't remember. Wanna know what you missed? We could do it all over, you know." Harry asks cheekily and I sigh. 

"No, not that way. I just want to know what happened." I explain. "I mean, I woke up in your bed, did we... Did we do something?" I ask and I look at him. 

He is still smiling. "Do something like...?" He asks taking a few steps in my direction, so I automatically take a few back. 

"You know what I mean," I say.

Harry continues to walk, and so do I. "No, I don't... You need to ask precisely what you mean, before I answer the wrong thing." He says as he leans in very close.

I want to push him away, but I fight the urge and take more steps back, until I feel the wall in my back. "Just tell me what happened," I say very soft, not trusting my own voice. 

Harry is now only a few inches away from me. He puts his hand next to my head and just stares at me. I can only look back and it feels like all my muscles are frozen, like I just can't move. "Now come on Emma, don't tell me you don't enjoy this, being this close to each other," Harry says with his husky voice.

I ignore him, just stay quiet. I know my voice is going to give me away. He will know what effect he has on me and I can't let that happen. 

"Do you wanna know where we talked about?" He gently strokes my arm with his fingers. "Or are you more interested in the more... physical details?" He looks at my eyes as his hand moves up to my collarbone, and then just under my chin. 

He leans in closer. "Wanna know if we kissed?" 

I gasp as he moves his hand first to the back of my neck and then towards my lips. I close my eyes, not longer able to look at him. Even though this is more scary, now I can't see what he's doing, I just can't look in his eyes.

"What's wrong, love? You seem a bit... Off." He whispers. He knows. He knows exactly what he is doing to me, and he's taking his advantage off it. That thought get's me back to earth.

I open my eyes and push him away. "I.. I wanna know if we had sex. Or something." I mutter, clearly ashamed he makes me asks this. 

Harry's first a bit taken aback, but then he chuckles. "No, we didn't. If we did, you would've known." He winks at me and walks back in to the game room.

I take a deep breath and run my hand through my hair. I hate that boy. I can't believe he just did that! 

I look up when I hear a door shutting and see Louis. "And? What did he say?" He asks. "I saw Harry smirking when he got back, so I was wondering what possibly could've made him that happy," he explains. 

I nod while processing his words. "Nothing happened, last night I mean." I answer. 

"Are you okay? You look a bit... weird." Louis says after taking me in. 

"Yeah... No... I- I don't know. I'm fine." I stutter and I sigh. I look at Louis. "I'm not sure if I'm going to survive these weeks."

Louis smiles sweetly. "Oh, I know you will. You just have to keep your distance with Harry, I guess..." He advises and I nod. 

"I know. But it's a bit hard when he's constanly trying to...distract or seduce me," I say. 

Louis shakes his head while smiling. "Now I know what happened. Yeah, he knows how to make a girl weak in the knees. But hey, you know that too. Just, like I said, keep your distance," he smiles. "I'm here for you, too. You know?" 

I start to smile. "I know. You're sweet Louis, thanks." We give each other a hug. 

"Okay, now I have to go. Liam wanted me to help with dinner, so... see you later." He winks at me and then he leaves me alone on the terrace. 

I walk to the chair near the fence and sigh. That's indeed what I need to do. Keep distance from Harry. 

Ugh, good luck to me.
