Stella's POV:

After getting out of the car I am about to walk around to get my suit cases out of the trunk when Harry grabs my elbow. "They will bring it up for you." he explains. "Oh." I answer. I am new to all of this. We follow one of the body guards into the back doors of the hotel. I guess this is to avoid the commotion happening in the front. The body guard, I think his name is Steve, presses the up arrow on the elevator and we wait patiently. "This is so weird." Cristina whispers. "I know." I say. We pile into the elevator and I notice that the penthouse button is presses. Wow, we are staying in the penthouse? I have never stayed in a penthouse before, maybe its just for the guys. Cristina and I will probably get our own room. Harry releases my hand as Steve opens the front door of the penthouse suite. I gasp as I take in the room. Everything is white, white marble floors, white walls, white furniture. Ahead of me, behind the dining table are floor to ceiling windows revealing the view of Los Angeles. Although it is November, it's a gorgeous day. The sun is shining and it is pretty warm compared to the chilly London weather. The view is breath taking. I turn to see a few closed doors. The rooms I am guessing. "Oh my God." Cristina mouths to me. My eyes widen. "I. Know." I mouth back. "Pretty nice right?" Harry asks walking over to me. "Uh, yeah, no kidding!" I tell him and he laughs. "We will be here for the next week or so, so get used to it!" he says pulling me close to him. "What floor are Cristina and I on?" I ask him and he laughs. "What do you mean?" he asks. "Where will Cristina and I be staying?" I ask again. "Here with us of course, there is plenty of room here, and besides, I don't think Niall would want to be without Cristina." he jokes. "Right, and you could easily be without me." I tease. "Of course not, I can't even go five minutes without wanting to kiss you." he says leaning in close to me. "Mhm." I mumble into his lips. A knock at the door interrupts us. "It's probably our bags." Harry informs me. "Come in!" Zayn shouts from across the room on the couch. He and the rest of the boys have planted themselves in front of the TV. I guess they are all still a little sad about leaving behind their girls. A bell boy walks in with a cart full of luggage's. "You can leave them there, thank you very much." Harry tells him and he nods exiting the room. "What do you want to do Stel? We have the day to ourselves." he tells me. "I think I want to shower and change first, maybe we could explore a little." I tell him and he smiles, "I think I need to shower too." he smirks. "Um, I don't think so, me first." I tell him and he laughs "Fine. One day, you will shower with me." he jokes and I roll my eyes. "Maybe you could see what everyone else s up to while I'm in there." I suggest and he nods. I grab my suit case and pull it towards on the of the doors. "Which one is our room?" I ask Harry. "That one." he says pointing to the door directly in front of me. I open the door and my eyes widen. There are more floor to ceiling windows directly in front of the large king bed. The view is absolutely breath taking. I can't wait to sleep here tonight with Harry. pull my suit case on the bed and unzip it. I grabbed the one with my lighter clothes in it. It is a nice day out so I don't need to be dressed to warm. I pull out a few clothing items and head to the shower.

Once I'm done I pull on a pair of black silky pants that fall just above my ankles, a white tank top tucked in and a beige cardigan. I slip my feet into white converse and tie my hair up. I'm ready to explore this beautiful city. I leave the bedroom and shut the door behind me. I only see Harry, Niall and Cristina sitting on the couches. "Where is everyone?" I ask. "The boys wanted to go for a quick nap before dinner. They are tired and missing their girlfriends. Cristina and I will join you two though." Niall tells me and I nod. "Yay! Let's get going then!" I say and Harry grabs my hand and we head out. "Beautiful as always." Harry whispers in my ear. I blush and he presses his lips to the side of my head. "Where exactly are we going?" Niall asks as we get into the elevator. Cristina and I look at each other and smiles spread across our lips. I know what she is thinking and she knows what I am thinking. At the same time we both shout, "SHOPPING!" We giggle and the boys groan. "Oh come on, really? Don't you guys ever get sick of it?" Niall whines. "Really, do we have a say in this at all?" Harry asks. "Nope." I answer and high five Cristina. "We are I LA, of course we need to do some shopping." Cristina informs them.

After a few hours of shopping, a dozen pictures and autographs and a few crazy fans, we are finally back at the hotel. It's been a super long day, we travelled for almost 11 hours, shopped, and now we are resting a little bit before dinner. I lay out my purchases on the bed while Harry is in the shower. I bought a really cute, short black dress, blush coloured statement necklace, and black pumps. This is what I will wear to dinner tonight. My hair is blow dried straight. Once Harry is out of the shower I will go in there and curl my hair but for now I'm going to take a quick nap. I lay down on the bed and close my eyes.

After what seems like seconds, I am woken by Harry's sopping wet hair in my face. "Mmm." I grumble. "Harry, what are you doing?" I whine. "Waking you up, I'm sorry baby, I know you're tired but we have to leave in half an hour for dinner." he says planting soft kisses all over my face. "Harry stop." I giggle. "That tickles." I laugh. "You want me to stop?" he asks pretending to be offended. I finally open my eyes and notice that he is in noting but his tight black boxer briefs. My eyes rake down his body stopping at his beautifully sculpted abs. I shake my head answering his question. "Didn't think so." he smirks at me and kisses my lips. His tongue easily finds its way into my mouth deepening our kiss. "Harry." I breath. "Later baby, I promise, but you really need to get ready now." he says pulling away. "Fine." I say climbing out of the bed grabbing my clothes and heading into the bathroom.

I curl the last few pieces of my hair and unplug the curling iron. I spray some hairspray through it and open the door. I watch as Harry's eyes rake up and down my body. "Wow, Stella. You look gorgeous baby." he says walking towards me. "Really? Is it too much?" I ask him doing a little spin. "No, it's perfect. As always." he says walking towards me. His lips find mine immediately and my heart flutters. I love this man so much. "I love you Stella." he says kissing my lips, cheeks, and nose. "I love you." I respond and his eyes light up. "Let's go." he says releasing my from his grip. He grabs my hand and laces our fingers together and kisses the top of my hand. I blush and we head out to meet the rest of the gang.

Once we arrive at the restaurant, we are swarmed by paparazzi. This is one of my first encounters with them and let me tell you, they aren't very pleasant. They were making rude remarks about Harry and I and Harry tightened his grip on me. "Ignore them baby, they just want a reaction." he says as he pulls me through the crowd. Once we are seated Louis speaks up. "Well that was the first of our excitement." he jokes. I'm glad to see the boys spirits have lifted since we got here. "Are you ready for tomorrow Stella?" Liam asks me from across the table. "What's tomorrow?" I ask raising an eyebrow. "Soccer! We rented out a field and we are going to hang out there for the day, Ed is meeting us there as well." Harry explains. "Ed, as in Ed Sheeran?" I gasp. "Yeah, who else?" Harry asks. "Oh my God, I love him!" I squeal. I realize how crazy I sound but I absolutely love Ed Sheeran. "Do you now." Harry says frowning. "Yes, but definitely not more than I love you baby." I reassure him and his eyes widen. "Oh Stella, you just wait till we get back to the hotel." he smirks gripping my thigh under the table. Immediately my body heats. His hand travels up my thigh and I gasp as his hand grazes over my lace panties. My eyes flutter and he pulls away. "Not yet." he murmurs. Oh man, would it be bad if we left now?
