-Delilah's POV-

"We are here." Harry mumbles as he parks in the few parking spots they have available.

"Thanks Harry. I'll text you when I need to be picked up." I simply say.

"Fine" Harry sighs. "I love you."

"And I love you." I smile, leaning over to kiss his cheek. I reach for the door but Harry's hands stop me.

"That wasn't a proper goodbye Mrs.Stewart." I look over to see that cocky grin glued on his perfect face.

"Oh sorry Mr.Styles." I giggle, leaning it to kiss his plum colored lips. I pull back, Harry's eyes meeting mine.

"Okay, get out." He teases making me roll my eyes. "I'm joking baby, call me if you need anything.. "

"I will." I smile and close the door, walking into the small warm atmosphere. I spot Brain in a booth, more towards the back. I walk over, taking a deep breathe before sitting down.

"Hi Brian." I smile.

"Hey." Brian smiles back. It's silent for a minute or two, awkward silence. All you can hear is the sound of people chatting amongst themselves and the sound of coffee being made.

"Look, I came all the way to London because I needed to talk to you. I tried calling and texting you, but you never answered. I know you back and happy with British boy, but I just need to ask you something and I'll be out of your life forever." Brian finally says staring straight into my eyes.

"Okay." I squeak.

"Did you even love or care for me? Do you still love and care for me? Or did you just use me as a waist of time to get your mind off Him?"

"Brian, I mean after Harry and me broke up I ran. I should've stayed and fixed it, but I ran. I always run away from my problems, that's what I did with us. I'm so sorry Brian, I love you and I do care for you, but not like how I care for Harry. When I moved, I didn't know anyone and this amazing guy came in and made me feel like a queen, and I tried to forget Harry. I really did Brian, but there's just something that I can't let go with Harry.." I tell him grabbing on of his hands that rest on the table. "I'll always love and care for you. I'm sorry I did this too you." I feel like crying, I know I'll end up doing it.

"Okay. I should get back to America, I still have a job and everything." He says giving me a small smile.

"Alright." I return the small gesture.

"Do you need a ride?" Brian asks me as we walk outside.

"No thank you." I smile at him.

"Well.. This is goodbye." Brian whispers looking down at me.

"No, our paths will cross someday." I try and making him smile but he still looks so broken. I wrap my arms around him, giving him a hug. We stay there like that for a couple minutes.

"Bye." I pull back kissing his cheek.

"Bye Delilah."

I text Harry moments after he left. Doesn't take Harry long before I see his ranger rover come around the corner.

"Hey babe." Harry smiles once I climb in.

"Hi"

"What's wrong?" Harry frowns glancing at me, slowing down for a red light

"Nothing" I lie.

"Delilah.." His hand rest on my thigh squeezing it.

"I don't want to talk about it Harry."

"Okay."

-At the apartment-

"Liam!" I call from the kitchen.

"Yes?" Liam smiles walking in.

"Spill." I smile and his small smile turns into a laughing smile.

"What do you mean?" He asks.

"The girl." I smile even bigger and he rolls his eyes.

"Her name is Emma, don't tell anyone! It's nothing serious yet." Liam quickly rushes the last part.

"I promise, I won't." I promise Liam.

"Promise what?" Harry smiles walking into the kitchen, his pajama pants having loosely on his hips, him shirtless showing off his endless tattoos that I love.

"I promise that I'll go shopping with Liam sometime." I cover up, Liam rolling his eyes, again.

"Oh boy, your in for some fun Liam." Harry teases me.

"Whatever." I giggle walking towards the bedroom with Harry saying a quick goodnight to him.

"So I want to do something fun." Harry says and I roll my eyes, "No not sex! Get your mind out of the gutter." He teasing causing me to laugh. Harry grabs my hand, leading me to the balcony, the opens the door to revile piles of blankets and pillows all formed into a little cozy bed with a hammock.

"Awh, this is so cute." I smile looking up at the sky filled with stars.

"Thought you'd like it." Harry states proudly. We both lay in the hammock, looking up at the stars, covered with a ton of warm blankets since it's cold out.

"You know Harry.. I can't believe we are together." I giggle at the thought of how much we hated each other.

"What do you mean baby?"

"Like we were so close up till high school, then you turned into an asshole, I hated you so much and now here we are, and I can't believe how much I love you now." I say still looking up at the beautiful London sky. I feel Harry lips to my cheek.

"I love you, I always have and always will." Harry whispers.
