Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Trust Or How I Became Ed's New Girlfriend

Hi everyone, a really cute chapter tonight which you'll hopefully enjoy. :) All the love, Summer xxx

I knew I shouldn't be doing this, but I couldn't help myself. My finger was hovering over my phone screen where the twitter app was located. "Don't do it, you're gonna regret it." a tiny voice at the back of my head told me, but the curiosity won. I silently thanked my younger self for never creating a twitter account under my real name which meant that I would be able to continue to stay private on social media, as long as no one leaked my private account. Without hesitation, I clicked on 'worldwide trends' and there it was. 'PAINTBALL ADVENTURE' was the number one trend and when I clicked on it, Harry's photo popped up and I clicked on it.

Smiling down at my screen, I saved it and then looked at what people were writing. Most of them seemed to say "Who are the other two girls in the photo?" Someone had drawn a red circle around my head and had commented "Ed's new girlfriend?" I giggled quietly and took a screenshot of it to send it to Ed later that day. Milena was mostly speculated to be either Harry's or Louis' secret girlfriend. For whatever reason, no one seemed to connect me to Harry or Louis which I was very grateful for. Unfortunately, I also saw a lot of tweets telling both of us to 'fuck off'. Most of the fandom had already gotten used to the idea of Lily and Niall, apart from the occasional haters, but neither I nor Milena had ever appeared on any photo with either of them, so of course people were curious. 

I logged out of twitter and opened tumblr where I hoped I would get a hate-free zone. Biting back my laugh at some of the funny captions and tags, I jumped a little bit, when a deep voice interrupted my online search. "Already awake?" Harry asked next to me and sleepily rubbed his eyes. His hair was sticking into every possible direction and he had a bit of a stubble, which looked incredibly sexy on him. I hummed and closed the app, before I locked my phone and let it slip onto the night stand next to Harry, before I cuddled back into his warm body.

"You went online, didn't you?" he asked quietly after a couple of seconds and started to draw lazy patterns on my bare arm, the gentle touch of his fingers causing goosebumps to appear on my arm. I nodded in reply and felt him sigh underneath me. "Claire?" I hummed and shifted a bit so that I was looking up at him. "You are the most beautiful woman I know and whatever these jealous people are saying online is not true, alright?" I nodded silently and laid my head back onto his chest. "They haven't really made any connection between the two of us, but they are still very, um, protective of you and say that Milena and I are just two ugly wannabes who somehow managed to get into your group of friends." I told him and then added with a chuckle "Oh, and apparently I'm dating Ed." Harry snickered, before he became serious again. 

"But seriously though, they are just very jealous people who have too much free time on their hands." he repeated and pressed a kiss to my forehead. "Please don't listen to anything they're saying, okay?" I nodded and forced a smile onto my face, which didn't quite reach my eyes. "On a different note..." Harry trailed off and suddenly I found myself on my back, Harry hovering over me with a wide smirk on his face. He was holding my arms together above my head and now began to trail light kisses down my neck to the hem of his shirt which I was wearing for bed. "Harry..." I said warily, my voice suddenly a bit hoarse. He only hummed and then started to slowly unbutton the shirt with one hand, somehow holding himself up, while his other was still tightly clasped around my wrists. When he had unbuttoned it completely he lifted his head again, a proud grin on his face. "Payback is a bitch, isn't it?" he asked and winked at me, before he finally let go off my hands.

They instantly wandered down to the shirt, but when I started to button it up again, Harry's big hands stopped me. "Do you trust me?" he asked me, his green eyes now completely serious. After a couple of seconds, I nodded and slowly lowered my hands. He leaned in again and his full, pink lips met mine, one hand holding up his body while the other slowly rubbed up and down the side of my upper body. Almost automatically, my hands reached up too cup his face and my fingers got tangled in his hair. After another silent question his lips wandered down again, before he gently pushed the shirt open and his breathing hitched when he took my body in. "You are so fucking beautiful, Claire." His voice was suddenly much deeper than usually and I felt my cheeks heat up under his intense gaze. 

Suddenly very self-conscious, I averted my eyes, but Harry gently took my chin between his fingers and forced me to look him in the eyes again. "You are beautiful, love. And whatever your prick of ex-boyfriend has told you is completely crap, alright?" he asked me seriously and I felt the ends of my mouth tug into a small smile. "There is that beautiful smile." he said with a twinkle in his eyes, before pressing another kiss to my lips. "Harry?" I managed to say in between kisses and his green eyes met my own. "Are you, um, is it... do you mind that we haven't... you know?" I asked him shyly and felt my cheeks heat up again. 

Realisation flashed through his eyes and he immediately shook his head. "I'm here for you, alright? Of course I won't deny that I haven't felt the, um, desire, to go further with you, but I'm not just here for your body and I respect you way too much to do something against your will, alright? I'll wait as long as it takes you to be ready to take the next step, love." he assured me and pecked my nose, chuckling when I pulled a weird face. "Until then I'm perfectly able to take care of myself." he added with a sly grin and I hit his chest and laughed, before pulling him back down to me.

It took us another half an hour, until we finally got up. We had ended up at my flat after our paintball adventure, which we had to ourselves as Lily and Niall had very quickly disappeared to his place after we had finished our game. Harry spent an awful lot of time buttoning his shirt back up, pressing a light kiss to my stomach after every button, before he finally gave into the loud rumbling noises that my stomach was making. "Tea and Toast okay?" I asked him after checking our kitchen cabinets. Instead of answering my question, he stepped very closely behind me, his warm breath tickling the back of my neck. "I'll have whatever you're having." he said and pressed a light kiss to the crook of my neck, sending a shiver down my spine. It still surprised me how much of an effect little gestures like this had on me. "Harry, we're never gonna have breakfast if you continue this." I murmured when he continued to move his lips over my skin.

"I'm just making up for the last few days and I also need to some good memories for the next few weeks until I'll see you again." he said lowly against my skin and I felt my stomach twist when he mentioned the fact that he wasn't back for good. "When do you have to leave?" I whispered and leaned back into him, my head resting against his shoulder. He pressed another kiss to my neck, before he replied. "Tonight." The sadness was evident in his voice and his arms around my waist tightened for a moment. "Let's make the next few hours memorable then." I said and turned around in his embrace to see a small smile on his face. "I like the sound of that." he smirked down at me and pulled me even closer to him. My stomach, however, loudly demanded to be fed, so he only pressed a light kiss to my forehead before pushing me onto a kitchen chair, before starting to prepare breakfast for the both of us.

PS. Shawn Mendes followed me on twitter and he is one of my favourite artists and I am so happy! Also, maybe a little bit more important, I smashed my first exam and got what would be an A in the US, which made me very proud, as well! :)
