No Foundations

The Boys from the Stairs - Chapter 21

HARRY'S POV

It was 4 in the afternoon and Remi and I spent the whole afternoon attempting to watch movies, but making out instead. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that this girl is my girlfriend. I was ecstatic and freaked out all at the same time. I don't think I can say I've had a real girlfriend since way before The X Factor. I'm not sure I really know how to be a boyfriend anymore. I looked down at Remi. She had fallen asleep about 15 minutes ago, even though she promised me she wouldn't.

"I'm going to try my best for you." I whispered, talking about being a good boyfriend. She stirred and her peeped open, looking at me. We smiled at each other.

"What did you say?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Nothing, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you."

"No it's okay, I didn't mean to fall asleep." She yawned.

"If you're tired go back to bed. I'll wake you up before we head to Niall's for pizza." I say that and she frowns at me.

"I don't think I should go to that." She mumbles. I look at her shocked.

"What? Why not!? The boys invited us." I say confused.

"Yeah, but, it's going be just the 5 of you, trying to cheer up Liam, and then me. Me who knows nothing about the situation, really, and don't you think it's kind of messed up? You can't bring me, your brand new girlfriend, to a party where you're supposed to be cheering up Liam BECAUSE he's heartbroken after breaking up with his girlfriend. That's just shit. Plus I think it would be better if it were just the 5 of you alone. You could get some extremely necessary band mate bonding time." She says, giving me a thumb's up.

"You're right." I say, kissing her. I don't want to get out of this bed though. I lay flat on my back and curse. "I should go shower." I say, not moving. She crawls over to lay on my chest and kisses my jaw line.

"Bring me back some pizza!" She smiles and shoves me. I grumble and get up off the bed. I walk over to her side and kiss her on the lips one more time.

"I'll bring you back a whole pizza if you want me to." I say and she laughs at me.

"That's unnecessary." She rolls her eyes.

"Alright, well I'll come by later tonight, but if you're bored just come over. I mean, we will just be down the hall." I say, starting to walk out of the room.

"Don't worry about me," She says, "I'll find a way to entertain myself. I'll call Sasha or something." She laughs.

"Have fun with that." I say sarcastically and walk out of the room. I walk back to my flat and go straight for the shower. It's feels like it should be dark out but its only 16:00. Crazy how time works like that. After I got out of the shower I got myself ready and it was 4:35. I decide to head over to Niall's, knowing the boys would probably all be there. I walk into his flat and sure enough they're all there sitting on the couch playing fifa.

"HARRY!" They all yell. There are empty beer bottles all over the table. Let the night begin. I sigh and walk over to Liam and he seems to be in a pretty good mood. He's sitting on the couch watching Niall and Louis' in a very intense game.

"Hey man," I pat him on the shoulder and he looks up at me smiling, "You doing pretty good?" I ask, and he nods his head. "Good." I say.

"Go get more beer, eh?" Zayn yells to me from his chair. I shake my head at him.

"Alright, fine. Who needs beer?" I ask them and seriously all of them raise their hand. I laugh and go to the fridge. The fridge is full of leftovers and beer. It's so very Niall. "Got enough beer in here Niall? I'm surprised you don't have it on tap."
