Chapter 9
The end credits begin to play loudly and I want sit up to find the remote to turn it off. I open my eyes and realize I'm laying on Harry's chest. It's rising slowly and I know he's asleep. I look up at him and his lips are parted slightly and I can hear a light snore. I giggle and really do not want to get up but the noise is so loud. I reach over Harry and turn off the tv.
"Zoey.." I hear Harry's voice speak softly.
"Yes?" I whisper.
"Don't leave."
I stop and look at his closed eyes and wonder if he's dreaming or awake. He doesn't want me to leave? I lay down next to him and he slides his arm around me and pulls me closer to him. He's awake. I scoot as close to him as I can and rest my head on his chest again. I can feel him breathing and his shirt smells like mint. I close my eyes and fade off to sleep again.
-----------------
I slowly crack open my eyes and move the hair out of my face to look at the clock. It's 9 in the morning. I sit up and stretch out my arms and wipe my eyes. Wait.. Something's missing. HARRY. I look over and he's not sleeping next me. Did I dream all of this? Well I'm glad he didn't see me this morning, my hair looks terrible!
I put it up in a messy bun and fix my makeup under my eyes that I forgot to take off last night. I put on a baggy sweater and head downstairs. I swear I've yawned at least 20 times. I walk downstairs to the kitchen and jump at the figure sitting at the kitchen table. I stare at him like I saw a ghost and quickly slide back behind the corner. I lean against the wall and realize it wasn't a dream. I play with the necklace I'm wearing and wonder what I should say. Does he remember last night at all? I decide to just walk in there and not say a word.
I prepare myself and walk in.
"Morning sunshine." He looks at me and giggles a bit.
"Morning to you too." I sit across from him at the table.
"You look well rested." He laughs to himself.
"What are you laughing at?" I look down to make sure this sweatshirt isn't dirty.
"Nothing." He stops laughing.
"Tell me." I insist
"Let's just say you talk in your sleep."
I feel my cheeks burn and try to remember if I had any dreams last night but my stupid brain isn't helping.
"Are you hungry?" He asks.
"Yeah actually." My stomach is growling.
"We should go out. I know a great place."
"What about all the snow?"
"I shoveled."
"You did? What time did you get up?"
"Like 6." I left him alone in my house for 3 hours. What is wrong with me?
"And you got all that done? I'm impressed Styles." I cross my arms as he shakes his head.
"So what do you say?"
"Sure let's go. I just need to get dressed." I pat my stomach.
"You look fine." He sighs.
"I have barely any makeup on and a baggy sweater." I gesture to my face.
"It's not a fancy place. We're getting breakfast." He rolls his eyes.
"I'm still changing. Give me 10 minutes." I walk out of the kitchen and run up to my room.
