Little Miss Payne (On Hiatus)

Chapter 5

Harry’s POV

As we finished making s’mores, Niall brought his guitar out again. He began just goofing around and playing random notes. Soon later, he started playing an actual song. I recognized it immediately as another one of our songs, Does He Know? This was actually one of my personal favorites. As we sang, I noticed Ashleigh was watching me the whole time. As the song ended, she smiled and looked down at her hands. I could tell she was blushing. She was cute when she blushed. She’s cute whenever she did something. After a few more songs, we decided to call it a night. Ashleigh was half laying on me and half on the ground. Liam began to pour water on the fire and Louis and Zayn cleaned up the mess of graham cracker wrappers, chocolate wrappers, and marshmallow packets. I scooped Ashleigh up in my arms and carried her inside. I figured out which room was hers when I went to pick out mine as her room was down the hall from me. As I walked up the stairs, she stirred but stayed asleep.

“Liam, when are the girls coming?” Crap, she thinks I’m Liam.

“Umm,” I choked out. “They should be here tomorrow.” She stirred some more as she cuddled into my chest. At least she knew it was me and didn’t freak out. After I set her down on her bed, she opened her eyes. She smiled at me as I walked out of her room and closed the door. I will never force her into anything. I’d love for her to be my girlfriend but I’m just going to wait to see how things play out.

 Ashleigh’s POV

I had such an incredible time today. I got to spend the day at the beach with my brother and his four best friends, we all hung out in the ocean, had a bonfire, ate s’mores, and they sang music. Harry was such a nice guy. He seemed so sweet today. I definitely had a great time with him. I could only imagine how he’d be if we dated. Ugh! Ashleigh, don’t think like this! He’s probably not even into you like that. I sighed as I grabbed a pair of underwear and a bra. I changed out of my bikini and slipped on my underwear and bra before grabbing a pair of short shorts and a t-shirt. I pulled the shirt over my head and slid into the shorts before crawling into bed. Sleep quickly overtook me and I didn’t fight it.

I woke up to my phone vibrating signaling I had a message. I slid my finger across the screen, opening the message. It was from Harry.

‘Morning love. How’d you sleep?’ –H

This is what I meant about him being sweet. Liam doesn’t know this but I used to date someone while he was gone. The guy turned out to be a total jerk. When I dated him, he got mad a lot. And when he’d get mad, he would take it out on me. The thing is, he never hit me. He did something a lot worse. No one knows this but the guy I dated, he raped me. I was too scared to ever say anything and he ruined my trust in guys. That’s why I feel like I don’t have a chance with Harry. Well also because Harry’s famous and I’m a nobody.

‘I slept like a baby. Lol. How about you?’ –A

‘I slept great. I think the lads are gone because they’re picking up the girls from the airport.’ –H

‘Oh. So what should we do until they get back?’ –A

‘Hm. How about you come downstairs?” –H

‘Okay?’ –A

After I replied, I locked my phone and put it on my nightstand. Good thing it has password lock because I have the story of what happened to me on there. I don’t know why. And if anyone ever saw it, I don’t know what I’d do. I began my walk downstairs. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I saw Harry standing behind the counter. What was on the counter surprised me. He made breakfast! There was eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, and fruit. My face immediately lit up as Harry grabbed a plate and began to pile a little of everything on it. He then handed me the plate and made one for himself. When he finished, we walked over and sat down on the couch. I decided to turn the TV on so I could distract myself from how attractive Harry looked in the morning. He was wearing gray sweatpants and no shirt. He had many tattoos but he wore them well. I began to dig into my food as I heard something on the tv.
