Chapter Twenty Four

After an hour of Harry pestering me, he finally gave up and fell asleep with me. I woke up before him around ten to his phone buzzing.

My hands traced up and down his arm that draped over my stomach. I gasped as he groaned in my ear.

"Who is calling me at this ungodly hour?"

He reached behind him and laid his head back on the pillow and then pulled my body to his when I had curled up in a ball. He answered the call as I hugged the pillow next to me and tried going back to sleep.

"No, that's alright. I'll be back, but let me discuss with her first." Almost instantly after he said this the call ended.

Harry set his phone on the table and pulled me closer to him. His head nuzzled into my neck before he kissed it.

"Merry Christmas, baby girl."

"Merry Christmas, my bitch."

Harry scoffed at his name, before tickling my sides and I began to squirm.

"I'll stop when you say I'm not a bitch."

"Okay, I'm not a bitch." I chuckled as he continued to tickle me.

He stopped and pinned me under him as he glared at me. I smiled to him innocently, "I did what you said."

He huffed dramatically and rolled the opposite way of me. I sighed while sitting up and pulled his shoulder, making him roll to his back. He crossed his arms and squeezed his eyes shut, so I straddled his waist and he opened one eye. I smiled down to him, watching the smirk on his lips slowly grow. My right hand laid on his chest as my left was on top of the other.

"What are you doing?" He spoke with his smirk clear and both eyes now open.

"I don't like you mad at me." I widened my eyes to him.

"I can't be mad at you."

"I have a proposition for you."

He raised an eyebrow at me to continue. "I don't like the idea of doing things in your mom's home, but we also haven't done that yet. I can tell you though, I am ready when the time is right." His eyes seemed to gaze at me, taking in my words.

He softly chuckled at me then grabbed my cheeks to pull my face to him. Our lips met briefly and he smiled at me, "I'm glad that you've told me that you're ready but I can't get over that you still won't say sex."

A groan left my mouth and I leaned my head on his chest, Harry's arms wrapped around my back as he rubbed it soothingly.

"I'm such an easy target to mess with."

"But it's one of the many things that I love about you."

I smiled to myself at his words, we still haven't said that word but I was waiting for him. I want to make sure he's ready before I ruin things.

After laying in that same position for about twenty minutes, I decided to change into something that doesn't make me look half naked. Harry gave me a sweatshirt so I didn't have to put a bra on, it's wonderful how he just gets me. I slipped on some black joggers and my fuzzy socks after brushing my teeth and putting my hair into a messy bun.

Once we had breakfast with everyone, we sat at in the living room to begin gifts. I made Harry stop when we got my phone at a few stores and help me get gifts for Anne, Robin, and Gemma.

After receiving a new mug from Anne and Robin, Anne handed me another small box.

"This is in case you are late in the mornings, I know you like coffee quite a bit." She smiled and I opened it to a cup that says, 'Messy bun and getting stuff done' which is on the mug as well.

I smiled to them both as Harry told them about my coffee obsession before Gemma handed me a box and I was anxious to see what it was. I opened the box as Harry did before revealing a gray sweater dress, my eyes widened because I had been talking about this exact dress to Ashton for months but I couldn't find it.

"Harry gave me a tip and I know someone who makes them so I made a call." Gemma smiled to me and Harry smiled making me shake my head.

Harry handed me a larger box and I raised an eyebrow in confusion at why it's so large, I slowly unwrapped it before realizing it's a shoe box from Delman. I took the top of the box off to reveal black stretch-suede over-the-knee boots. I looked at Harry in disbelief before he spoke up.

"I just know you too well."

"I can't believe you bought these." I referred to the shoes and he shrugged modestly.

The day went by well, I spent a lot of time with Gemma and Anne through the day since Harry had talked about flying out sooner than he planned.

We all cleaned up everything and took our things up to the rooms before getting ready for lunch. All three of us had showered and I left my hair to dry before I sat on the bed, scrolling through social media and the door of the guest room opened.

I turned to see a curly haired boy with his hair pulled back in a bun before I noticed a box with a small blue bow in his hand. My eyebrow raised to him before he sat next to me on the bed.

"I wanted to give you this separately because I had something to talk with you about as well." I held the box in my hand before he nodded for me to open it.

I slowly lifted the box to see a key ring with numerous keys on it and my eyes met his. "It's my house and car keys from LA. I was hoping you'd make yourself at home and start staying with me so we can have privacy."

I began to speak, but he cut me off. "I'd eventually like you to move in with me, no pressure." He chuckled and I smiled at him.

"Are you sure?"

"Course I am. I just didn't let you come over because I've been moving stuff around for your things."

"Well, I'd love that." I smiled as I jumped to hug him.

He pulled back to kiss me before I realized he needed to tell me something, I pulled back and he realized my curiosity.

"The call that I received this morning was Tina, she is aware that we are together and all, but we never ran it by them about our relationship because you stayed out of the spotlight. So, they had decided to keep it that way for a bit and set up for me to have a publicity girlfriend. When we get back, I'm going to talk with them about having us released as a couple. I'll try and get the fake girlfriend out of the way because I don't want you upset with this."

"Harry, I trust you. I don't care what people say, I've been through the drama back home and look how I am now. I've grown out of things and became who I am. All this is doing is going to help us grow together. I'm always going to be here because I'll believe you over the stories, remember that I've written enough to know there are two sides to every story. Do what you can, we'll get through."

Harry said nothing, I honestly was terrified because he stood there staring at me. Taking in every word that I said, but I couldn't read his mind.

"Wow," he placed his hands on either side of my face to pull me towards him. Our lips touching so gently before he pulled away and stared straight in my eyes.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
