Stella’s POV:
“Stella wake up.” I heard Harry’s deep raspy voice whisper in my ear. I felt the tip of his nose brush my cheek. I don’t open my eyes. “Stella.” Harry cooed again. “Fine, I’m going to get in the shower, I hope you’re awake by the time I’m done.” he mumbles as he climbs out of the bed, taking the warmth with him. Once Harry is out of the room, I open my eyes and rub them gently. The sun is shining through the windows and I know today is going to be a great day. I grab my phone off the night stand beside my bed and turn it on. There are three texts.
To: Stella
From: Alex
Hey sister, just making sure you’re okay. Mom told me about Mason and I want you to know that if I was there with you, I’d kick his ass. Ignore him and if things get worse, call me. I love and miss you.
I smile at that text because I know that if my brother was here, he would definitely do exactly that.
To: Alex:
Your text made me smile, wish you were coming to visit. Miss you and love you too.
To: Stella
From: Mom
Hi baby girl, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I hope you and Harry have worked things out, I know you probably have so I’m not too worried. Love you and miss you every day.
To: Mom
Thanks mom, yes we have. It was all just a misunderstanding like I told you. Thank you for everything. We will talk soon, I love you.
The next one is a text from my Zia Carla.
To: Stella
From: Zia Carla
Hi Stel, we miss you so much! Hope everything is going well for you. Give us a call when you get a chance, Bella wanted to send you a message so here is a video for you! Enjoy it, talk to you soon. Love you.
My heart warmed at the message. I clicked the video and pressed play. My little cousin was dressed in a princess outfit and was sitting on the stairs in the front of my Zia’s house. “Guess what I did today? I went to da park wif Lisa. We had fun but I miss you. When awe you coming home from your vacation? Mommy, where is Hawwy? I wuv you Stewwa. And I wuv you Hawwy.” Bella said into the camera. This brought tears to my eyes. I miss my family so much. It is so strange to be spending this much time away from them but I know that when I see them, it will be that much better.
I hear the bathroom door unlocking so I quickly put my phone back on my night stand and shut my eyes again. I’m going to mess with Harry. I hear the door open and Harry walks over to the bed. “Are you kidding me, Stella wake up.” he whines. I don’t move. “Fine, have it your way.” he mumbles. I feel his lips press to mine. Oh, he’s playing that game. “Baby, if you don’t want to wake up, I will wake you up.” he says and his lips trail kisses down my neck and all over my face. His body presses to mine and I feel that he is in nothing but a towel. Oh man, this is harder than I thought. I give up. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him as close to me as possible. My lips move against his and I feel his tongue pry its way into my mouth. “Thought so.” he smirks. “As much as I would love to stay in bed all day and do this, I have a surprise for you, so get up.” he says pulling me up by my arms. “Harry.” I whine. “Hello to you too.” he winks. “Wow, what a beautiful sight to wake up to.” he smirks again. “What are you talking about Harry.” I ask raising my eyebrow in confusion. His eyes rake down my chest and I follow his gaze with my own eyes. I see that my tank top that I slept in is twisted to the side and my bare breast is sticking out the side of my tank top. I flush and quickly cover myself. I hide my face with my hands and Harry pulls them away. “Oh baby, don’t be embarrassed, I’ve seen much more of you than just your naked boob.” he jokes. “Ughh.” I moan and he laughs out loud. “Before I shower, you have to see this.” I say pulling my phone out again. I show Harry the video of my cousin and he smiles through the whole video. "She is the sweetest girl." he says and I nod. "I know, I hate that I am missing seeing her grow up. Did you hear her? She thinks I'm on vacation!" I cry holding my heart. "I know, don't worry though, every chance we get off we can go see them if you'd like." he offers taking my hands into his, wiping a tear that I didn't know was there. "But what about your family Harry, you must miss them so much too." I say leaning my head into his bare chest. The smell of his body wash lingers on his skin and it smells heavenly. "Yeah I do, but I've been doing this for a few years now, I'm used to it." he says rubbing my back trying to comfort me. He really is the best. "I love you Harry, you know that?" I smile. He leans down and presses his lips to mine. "Yeah I know, I love you too baby." he replies. "Now, get up and get dressed, I have a surprise for you." he says standing from the bed. "Alright, alright. But before the surprise, can we have breakfast? I'm starving." I mutter. Harry laughs out loud. "Yes of course Stella." he smiles and I shut the door to the bathroom behind me.
After my shower, I dry my hair naturally and put on some light make up and a nude lip gloss. I walk out of the bathroom in my bra and panties and Harry is sitting on the bed playing on his phone. "Stella, you need to put some clothes on or we will never leave today." he says as his eyes rake up and down my half naked body. I smirk at him and walk over to the closet. "What should I wear for this surprise?" I ask him fiddling with my clothes. "Just something casual that you will be comfortable in. I'm just wearing this." he says pointing at his outfit. He has on a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt. So simple yet so hot. He is beautiful. I nod and pull on a pair of regular wash ripped jeans and a black loose t-shirt with a pocket over the left breast. I put on some gold jewelry and slip my feet into a pair of nude sandals. I grab my purse and my sunglasses and Harry stands from the bed. "Are you ready finally?" he asks raising his eyebrow at me. "Yes. Is this okay?" I ask him doing a little spin to show off my outfit. "Yes that's perfect, you look beautiful." he compliments and I smile and kiss his cheek. He always knows how to make me feel pretty. We walk out of the bedroom and the hotel room is empty. "Where is everyone?" I ask Harry. "Uh, they all went out early this morning." he mumbles. Hm, that seems strange that Cristina wouldn't tell me where she was going. "Let's go." he says as he grabs my hand and pulls me out the door.
Harry and I hop into a black SUV that he is using. He is driving us somewhere and I am surprised that we have no security with us. We got into the car in the basement of the hotel so that we could avoid being seen. We have made it out of the hotel vicinity safely without being spotted. Harry gets onto the main road and we are cruising down the road to an unknown location. "Harry, where are we going?" I ask him. "If I told you it wouldn't be much of a surprise, would it." he smirks. I roll my eyes and look out the window. It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining and it is not too hot out. This is my first time in LA so I am not familiar with the roads that we are driving on or the direction we are headed in. "Harry." I whine. "Are we almost there?" I ask after about ten minutes. "Stella you really have no patience. Yes we are almost there." he laughs as he fiddles with the stereo. "We are going to make a quick stop for some breakfast and then we will continue on okay?" he asks as he pulls off of the freeway. I nod. My stomach is grumbling loudly. I am starving. We pull up into a parking lot of a diner that looks almost deserted. It is very quiet here, I like it. "Where are we exactly?" I ask as we are seated at a booth in the corner of the diner. "Stella, we've only been driving for twenty minutes, we are still in LA baby." Harry laughs at my lack of awareness. "Whatever." I roll my eyes and he kisses the top of my hand. "Patience baby." he smiles and kisses my hand again. We order a huge stack of chocolate chip pancakes and bacon to share and we scarf it down quickly. "That was delicious." I smile as I wipe my mouth with a napkin. Harry nods and leaves a wad of cash on the table as we head out.
After about another ten minutes or so, we pull into the parking lot of what looks like the airport. "Why are we at the airport Harry." I ask as he pulls me through the crowd of people staring at us. I spot Niall, Louis, Cristina, Zayn, and Liam in the distance and I smile. "What are they all doing here?" I ask full of confusion. "Stop asking questions and just look." he laughs. Once I take a proper look, I see my brother! "Alex!" I yell as I run over to him. His arms open wide and he pulls me into a tight hug. "Alex! Oh my God! I'm so happy you're here!" I say as I squeeze him again. All of my friends are smiling as my brother and I share our warm embrace. After he pulls away, he greets Cristina and then Harry. "Alex this is Louis, Liam, Niall, and Zayn. Boys, this is my older brother Alex." I introduce them. I leave them for a minute to talk and get acquainted. I turn to Harry and smile at him. "You did this?" I ask him. He nods and smiles at me. "I know how much you miss your family and the other day, you mentioned how much you missed your brother specifically so I called him and he agreed to fly out here to hang out with us!" Harry explains and I wrap my arms around him hugging him tightly. "Thank you Harry, I love you." I whisper in his ear. "Your welcome baby. I love you." he responds kissing my temple softly. "Alright, let's get going then!" Alex says smiling. He drapes his arm over my shoulder and I wrap my arm around his waist as we walk through the airport. "I can't believe you're here!" I smile. "I know, I missed you too much and I didn't want to miss your first concert ever!" he says squeezing me. I am wearing the biggest smile on my face and it's all because of Harry. "We are going to have a blast. I'm so glad you're here." I tell him and he smiles. "Me too, little sis." he responds.
