Protecting Emily

Chapter 24

I woke up with the sun shining in my face.

An arm was draped across my waist.

I rubbed my eyes.

Harry turned and nuzzled his face into my neck.

“Morning love.”

I smiled.

“Hi.”

I bit my lip.

A million questions were running through my mind.

Did I do okay? Was I good?

I mean, Drew and Harry are two totally different people.

“Hey,” Harry touched my face.

“You were amazing.” He smiled.

“Are you sure?” I looked at him nervously.

He pecked my lips.

“Positive.”

I got up and slipped some clothes on. I still forgot we were in Zayn’s house.

“Um… peaches… with… what is that apple butter?” I kicked my legs back and forth on the counter.

“Wow.” Harry laughed.

I peaked my eyes open.

“I can’t believe you leave in 5 days.” I frowned.

“I know quit reminding me.” Harry positioned himself between my legs.

“How long will you be gone?”

“Not any longer than I have to be. Recording takes… time.” He sighed.

I frowned and nodded.

I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pulled him close.

“I’ll miss you.” I mumbled into the collar of his t-shirt.

“I’ll miss you more.” He chuckled.

“I have homework to do.” I groaned.

I had started home school this morning, since dad thought I might murder someone if I go back to public school.

“That’s not that bad.” Harry tickled my sides.

I squirmed.

“Unless you want to do it for me.” I stuck my tongue out.

He chuckled.

“I’ll try to be back for Thanksgiving okay?”

Thanksgiving was in two and a half weeks.

I nodded and pecked his lips, only for him to pull me back in.

Yeah, I’d miss him.

I mean, Harry doesn’t leave for another 5 days but still.

“Its hard to think we were like at each other’s throats just 3 days ago.” Harry played with my hair.

“It’s a part of a relationship I guess.” I shrugged.

“I’m still sorry for yelling at you.” he whispered.

“I know.” I said as he inserted his face in my neck.

He gave me sweet butterfly kisses.

I giggled.

“I’m hungry!” A voice boomed.

That voice could only belong to Niall.

“Leave my house.” I pouted.

“Why?”
