Beside You [GML Book 2]

Chapter 9 - The calm before the storm...

Marie POV

Harry intertwined our fingers and started leading me to the door, our hands fit perfectly together it was almost sickening. You sickening like in those movies were everyone gets all lovey dovey and confess there love to each other? Yeah that kind of sickening... but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Anyways, he lead us through the living room and we slowly made our way up the stairs and to his room. I motioned for him to sit on the bed and smiled at him. I was always nervous around him, without him even saying a word.

"I heard what you said on the phone Marie, we really don't have to talk." he mumbled without making eye contact.

"But I want to talk Harry. I wanna know how you feel, this past week has been crazy."

He sighed running his fingers up and down his face before running then through his soft brown curls.

"You know Marie. You know I want to be with you. But I heard you and I know you need time to deal with whatever you're feeling..." he trailed off at the end and flashed a half smile at me.

I sighed and walked to stand between his legs in front of him and cupped his face in my hands. "Look at me." I whispered his eyes instantly shot up and locked on mine "I want to be with you, I will be with you but, I need time to myself to find myself again. I'm not the same girl who basically told you to fuck off the first night I met you" he grimaced at the memory, "Just like you aren't the same guy who showed up with some blonde, who's name you still don't remember. just to piss his friend off for setting him up on a date, even though you clearly said no." I smiled and rubbed circles into the base of his jaw with my thumbs "You don't have to understand this but trust me when I say I'm doing this for both of us Harry" I smiled and kissed his forehead

It took him a minute but he finally looked back up to me and smiled "I guess you're right. It's not going to be easy but if it's better for us I'll do it." he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him as he nuzzled his face into my stomach.

"You're such a sap Styles." I teased and pushed him away from me

I turned to walk back to my suitcase when he caught my... well his sweater and pulled me back, making me fall on the bed. Before I could even respond he was hovering over me nipping at the skin of my neck sucking and flicking his tongue across it and making me shiver.

"Still sappy?" he growled in my ear

"Maybe just a little." I laughed trying to push back a moan that was trying to escape my lips.

He pulled back from my neck and looked down at me, his gaze was intense, he sat up and pulled me up with him pulling off my sweater then pushing me back down roughly onto the bed causing me to make a 'hmph' sound. He trailed a finger softly and agonizingly slow on the skin just above the waistband of my jeans. His cold fingers slowly made their way up my shirt making goosebumps form on my warm skin. He dipped his head back down and placed his lips softly on mine before he started moving them against them. I instantly responded matching his movements and bringing a hand up to cup his face and using the other to pull on his shirt and bring him closer to me. As the kiss started to heat up Harry moved his hands down to the waistband of my jeans and started to fiddle with the button trying to pop them open.

"Hey Marie!" Gemma laughed from the doorway. Harry threw himself off of my and I sat up and adjusted my shirt."Oh yeah you too twat" she mumbled at Harry. "Mum told me to come tell you we're all leaving for the party now, she said when you and Marie and 'done' to come and meet us there." She winked at me

"Oh, okay we'll change and be there soon Gem"

"Oh yeah Mum said use protection!" She cackled and ran down the hall
