Falling For You

Chapter 17

Taylors POV

Bridget's 16th birthday was coming up soon; the 1st of December. I'm really excited for her; we have been driving as much as we can so she can take the test on her birthday. We're on our way back home, home; my penthouse in Nashville.

The place looks all broken up; only because we were building a house down the street of Music Row, so everything was in boxes. I'm really excited because Bridget designed the way the house would lay out and I worked on the fashion stand point and what the inside would look like.

What her design was all open concept once you walked into the front door; to the left was a really big kitchen, for me. And to the right was a huge living room, we will probably have one of those cool bed couches because both of us love that style.

Then in front would be our rooms; to the left would be mine, and she designed it so it wasn't really another floor it was just raised. I designed what I wanted in my room but it wasn't much, just room for a bed, and a big closet for all my clothes and a master bath attached to it.

In Bridget's room she put a cubby like loft for her bed, like she was in a tree-house and room for desk and just room to hang out in. in our basement was another living room like, three guest rooms and a small recording room; because last time I went to our recording studio, bad things happened, plus she wanted to use it sometimes. We're hoping it's going to be done before Christmas

The whole situation at Thanksgiving was ridiculous, I didn't know how to handle it and I am so happy Harry was there for me. But when he got home with Bridget that night; something seemed a little off from him. I tried to ask him and banter him until I found out, but he said he promised Bridget he wouldn't tell. That bothered me that Bridg wasn't confident enough to tell me everything.

"Tay are you okay?" Bridget shook me from my thoughts, we have been in the car for about five hours; and Harry was driving.

"Yeah Bridg just thinking"

"About what?" Harry asked me with some concern.

"Just about Thanksgiving; Bridg, what did you do when you left?" I looked at her in the review mirror. Her head dropped immediately; she was looking down and playing with her sweater.

After a few seconds of her thinking she spoke up "It wasn't that important."

"It is enough for you to ignore my question. I'm not going to be disappointed." I tried to reassure her, she looked up and made eye contact with me, her piercing blue eyes were covered in red, and around them were puffy.

"I just made out with someone... It, it was no big deal."

"Did you know this person?"

"No."

"How old was he?" She asks

"18"

"Okay." Taylor sits still afterword

"You're not going to lecture me?"

"Nope." Honestly I didn't feel like it, but I also learned one thing from my mom is that guilt will eat you alive if you don't get reassurance from someone. If I don't scold her for doing it, and not bring it up, she will learn by herself.

"...oh...okay"

Two more hours later in the car of more silence, Harry spoke up "Tay... I have to leave for home. I'm sorry, but the boys left last week and I have to see my family for the holidays." 

"I understand," Right now I don't feel like talking, I was just mentally exhausted, "When do you leave?"

"Want me gone that badly huh?" He started laughing. I laughed too, not realizing that it came out that rude

"Sorry I didn't mean it that way" He chuckled

"I know, my flight leaves tomorrow night, so... can I stay at the penthouse for tonight?"

"As long as you two don't have sex I'm okay with it." Bridget chimed in and I gave her a glare; I hated when she would talk about me that way.

Harry laughed at what she said, "I promise, but can I at least try?" He gave her a smirk and she returned it.

I felt my cheeks heating up, "You're not going to get anything if you two keep talking like that"

"Well okay Mrs. Sassy." Harry and Bridget laughed. And that was when we pulled into the parking lot of the hotel where my penthouse was. "Home sweet home"

We went upstairs and unpacked; Harry went up the back-way so no one saw him with me.

I guess we still weren't official and for now I was okay with him just being mine.  Bridget dropped everything off and went straight to her room, she was tired and I didn't blame her; she's been through a lot the past week.

I walked over to my closet and pulled out a pillow and sheets "Um what are you doing with that Ms. Swift?"

"You sir, will be sleeping on the couch"

"Don't do this to me" he whines, but instead of it being annoying, it was actually really cute. he places his arms around my waist and pulled me in closer "Tell me you don't want this thing in your bed next to you. I look pretty damn sexy in the dark"

"Yeah because I can't see your face anymore" It was my sad attempt at flirting, he came in closer for a kiss; I gave in and dropped the sheets and put my hands around his neck. He pulled away and looked towards my bedroom, I nodded and took his hand and walked in. I got changed into my pajamas and he just took off his pants.

"What? I sleep in my boxers". He gave me one of his beautiful dimpled grins and lifted up the covers and got in; as did I. I got closer to him and put my head on his chest and he put his arm around me, and kissed my head. "Goodnight my love"

That night was perfect sleeping in his arms. Why did he have to leave tomorrow?
