I woke up to my phone recieving a text, and tried to rollover to see who it was.  However, the only thing I could move was my head because I was being pinned down to the bed by Harry.  I finally wiggled free one of my arms, and poked him in the cheek.  He didn't wake up, but he still smiled.  "Harry?  I can't really move."  He just wrapped one of his legs over mine, and put his head on my shoulder.  I giggled, and he woke up.  He didn't move, but he just looked up at me.  I felt something in his eyes.  Like...love and compassion.  Am I starting to fall for Harry Styles?  I...I think so.  I quickly pushed the thoughts away.  "Good morning, Harold."  "Morning, Ash.  Would you like me to move?"  He closed his eyes again.  "That would be good.  I'm hungry."  "Just ten more minutes, pleeease?"  He begged.  "Fine.  Just ten, though."  He pulled me even closer into his chest, and I snuggled into his warm body.  I soon felt myself falling back asleep, but I only stayed asleep for about 5 minutes because Liam came and jumped on the bed...shirtless.  "AHHHH HARRY AND ASHLEY!  THEY'RE SO CUTE!"  I grabbed his ankle, which resulted in him slamming into the bed.  "Ashley, did you have fun with Harry last night?"  Harry reached over, and slapped Liam on his bare back.  "OUCH!  What was that for?  Aahley, Harry hit me."   "Dont look at me!  You're daddy directioner.  I'm going back to sleep now."  I rolled over, and Liam came over to my side of the bed and picked me up.  "LIAM!  Put me down, now!"  He threw me over his shoulder, and walked into the living room where everyone was.  "Found Ash...and Harry..."  Louis eyes grew wide.  "WHAT?!  Oh god.  I don't w-"  "WE WERE ASLEEP!  I had a bad dream, and Liam wouldn't wake up, so I went into Harry's room and he was awake.  He said I could sleep in there."  Louis sighed in relief.  He actually thought that?  Ughhh.  "You guys sure were...cuddly."  Harry walked out of his room in his boxers.  "It's not my fault!  She just likes to cuddle."  I looked over at Niall, who was on his phone.  Probably tweeting something bad about me on twitter or something. "Oh, Ash is the cuddly type?  I'll have to keep that in mind."  Louis winked, jokingly.  "I'm going to go take a shower on that note."  I turned and walked upstairs.  "Can I come, love?"  Harry said, trying to be serious.  "Oh, yeah.  Come on Harold."  I turned and ran up the stairs.  I locked the bathroom door, just when I heard a knock.  "Yes?"  I didn't bother unlocking the door.  "I need something out of here."  It was Harry, of course.  "I'll hand it to you.  What do you need?"  I just had a tank top, and a pair of girl boxers on.  "Just open the door, and I'll get it."  I unlocked the door, and he came in.  He checked me out one time because I only had very little on.  "Take a picture, it'll last longer."  I said leaning against the counter.  He snapped out of his phase, and looked at me.  "I need to tell you something."   "Can it wait?  I'm kinda busy."  He shook his head.   Fine.  I turned the shower off, and stood in front of him.  He sat on the stool, but I sat on the ground.  "Ash..."  "Yes?"  He was so nervous.  He was messing with his hands like he always does when he's nervous.  "Ermmm...I don't know what to say, but..."  He didnt say anything for while, but he just looked at me.  "Look, I like you.  I don't know if you feel the same way about me, but  I like you a lot."  Really?  Harry Styles likes me?  ME?  Ashley?  "I..."  He looked down, probably expecting me to reject him.  How did I feel about Harry?  I think I like him.  Don't I?  Yes, I like him a lot.  "I like you too."  I said quietly.  His head snapped up.  "You do?"  I smiled.  "Yes, I really do."  His whole face lit up.  "ASH, HARRY!  WHERE DID YOU GO!?  Oh God.  Harry really did go with her!"   Harry and I smiled evily at eachother.  We were thinking the same thing.  "Prank time."  We whispered at the same time.  I turned the shower back on, but we just stood there laughing silently.  "Oh, Ash.  You're so hot."  I was trying desperately to hold back the laugh threatning to escape my mouth.  "Harry, stop doing that."  "This?"  He tickled me, and I let out a high pitch scream.  "Yeah, that."  I bet Louis was going mad right now.  We decided we should probably stop, but first I wanted to have a little fun.  "Come here."  I jumped in the shower, fully clothed, and Harry did too.  We got soaked, but after all...we were supposed to be in the shower.  I looked up at him while we were standing under the water together, and inched my face closer to his.  Oh, don't worry, it's not going to be that easy.  Just as our faces were almost touching, I jumped out of the shower which left Harry standint there completely shocked.  I ran towards the door, unlocked it, and ran into Liam, Louis, and Zayn.  They were standing there, checking me out.  I looked down, and realized I had on a white tank top, a black bra, and some short that might as well been underwear because they were so short.  The tank top was clinging to my body, and my bra was totally showing through.  "Oops, bye!  I ran past them, downstairs to Harry's room.  I locked the door, and quickly stripped out of my wet clothes into some of Harry's.  Hey, I didn't plan on staying another day so what was I supposed to do?  There was a knock on the door, so I unlocked it.  Before I could even open it, Harry burst through the door.  "That wasn't very nice, Ashley."  He said smirking.  "I'm sorry, Harry.  How will I ever make it up to you?"  I was batting my eyelashes.  "Give me a hug?"  He was still soaking wet, so obviously I declined.  Harry however, wasn't happy about my decision, so he walked towards me with his arms open.  I was still backing up, when I hit a wall and knew it was all over.  "Harry...don't you dare."  He embraced me in a tight hug, and stepped back, looking at my wet clothing.  "Is that my shirt?"  He was smirking at me again.  "Maybe.  But now I'll have to change again."  I walked over to his wardrobe, and grabbed another shirt.  I looked over at him, and he was just sitting there, watching me.  "Turn around."  He pouted.  "Fine."  He put his hands over his eyes, so I took off his shirt and put another one on.  "Ok, done."  "My turn.  He took off his shirt and shorts, leaving him in his boxers.  I was practically drooling.  "You gonna turn around or..."  I blushed.  "Sorry."  He just chuckled.  "Done.  I'm hungry, wanna go get something to eat?"  I nodded.  We walked into the kitchen, and the boys were watching t.v. on the couch.  They knew we were there, but they pretended like they had no idea.  "We should make this fun.  Harry got that little smirk that means 'revenge' and he picked me up.  I shrieked, and wrapped my arms around his neck.  He sat me on the counter, so that my legs were on either side of him.  I whispered in his ear, "They're looking."  and he laughed like I said something funny.  "You're so cute, Ash."  He said just loud enough for them to hear.  "Awww, thanks."  I giggled, hopping off the counter.  "Wanna go swimming?  This place has an indoor pool."  Harry was just talking to me now, not really caring of the boys heard.  "Yeah!  I'll go get my swimsuit on."  I went into Harry's room, and got my sack out that had the bikini Niall bought me.  I put it on, and went out into the kitchen where Harry was.  "Where are the towels?"  I asked.  He didn't respond, but instead looked up and down my body.  I waved my hand in his face, and he snapped out of it.  "Yeah, they're over here...I'll go get them."  He walked away, and I turned to see four pairs of eyes looking over the couch.  "Pervs." I said under my breath.  They quickly turned back around to watch t.v.  "Here you go. Ready?"  I nodded.  We walked down to the pool, and thank the Lord knowone was there.  "Canonball!"  Harry screamed, jumping in.  "Come on, Ash!"  I dipped my foot in the water, and it was freezing.  "Oh my gosh.  It's too cold.  Can I just sit on the edge for a little while?"  "Sure."  I sat down, and watched him swim laps.  I think I watched him make about ten, and he swam over to me.  "Now will you get in?"  He begged.  "Ten more laps."  He sighed, but went and did them.  He came back a little out of breath.  "Now?"  I laughed. "Ten more?"  "Oh, that's it.  You're coming in if you want to or not."  He grabbed my waste, and pulled me into the freezing cold water.  "H-AR-RRRY!!!  I'M G-GOING TO KIL-LL YOU!"  I was shivering.  He grabbed me again, and wrapped his arms around me. "Better?"  "Much."  He chuckled, and I wrapped my arms around his torso.  I was finally starting to warm up, so I let go of him and said, "Race you to the other side."  "Is that a challenge?"  He raised an eyebrow.  "Yep.  Winner get's to pick loser's punishment."  "Ok.  Ready, GO!" I took off as fast as I could swim, and he caught up in no time.  He beat me by about four feet, and he was doing a little happy dance.  "I win!  I get to pick your punishment!"  I really should've thought this through.  "Ok, what's my punishment?"  He thought about it for a minute, and his face lit up.  "You have to...kiss Louis."  He smiled evily at me.  Really?  Poor Louis had it coming for him..."K."  I think Harry was a little shocked I said yes.
