Chapter 7.

Thursday 4th July 2014:

Holly's POV:

Everyone starts cheering my name as I walk up on stage to accept my Grammy award. Will Ferrell presents me my award. He smiles and hands it to me but instead of clapping he begins to poke my face. The whole room begins to go silent as he starts poking me.

As the dream starts to fade I hear Harry faintly saying my name. I wake only to find him poking my cheek. “Holly bear, wakey wakey”. He's spooned into me, he is hovering his head over my face. I slowly open my eyes to see his face above mine. He sees me open my eyes and smiles. “Good morning sleepy head”. He kisses my forehead. I try to fully open my tired eyes and grunt at him. I turn back over and put my face into my pillow. “No no, come on. Get up and I’ll make us breakfast”.

“Fine, I’m coming” I mutter into my pillow. He gets out of bed and walks through into the kitchen. I lay there for five minutes before getting up. I can’t hear anyone in the tour bus so everyone must be out. I walk through to see Harry cooking scrambled eggs and bacon.

I sit on the counter opposite to where he is cooking. He looks at me and smiles. “Morning beautiful” I grab a glass from the cupboard and fill it with water from the tap. I quickly gulp the water from the glass. I place the glass in the sink and wipe my lips. “Ah that's better” I say whilst sitting up on the counter.

Harry plates up our food and places it on a table. I jump off the counter and sit at the table, Harry joins me.

“So as it's the 4th of July and we're in America, me and the boys were all thinking on going to watch some fireworks tonight. Are you up for it?” Harry suggests.

I smile at him with excitement. “Yeah sure, I love fireworks”. He smiles back. “Good”.

“So what are we going to do today then?” I ask Harry.

“Anything you want”.

“I have no energy or motivation” I role my eyes.

“Well why don't we stay in and have a film day”. He suggests.

I nod my head in agreement.

“What do you want to watch then?”. He asks.

“I don't know, it's up to you”

“Well what's your favourite film?” he asks me.

“P.S I love you”.

“P.S I love you it is then”. He smiles.

“Okay. I'm just gonna go for a shower” I say whilst getting up and walking towards the bathroom.

I walk into the bathroom and turn on the shower. I undress and stand there waiting for the water to heat up. Once it is heated I step in and let the water trickle down my body. I tilt my head back and let the water soak my hair. As I close my eyes I begin to imagine how I want my day to go. I just hope that he doesn’t have a change of heart and start getting confused again. I really do like him, I think I might love him. Is it too soon to say that?

Harry's POV:

I'm cleaning up the kitchen waiting for Holly to get out of the shower. I'm so glad that it's just the two of us together for the day. Then maybe I could finally realise how I really feel. Whether I just like her or if I even love her. I feel so protective over her and I don't understand why.

I want to cuddle her into my chest for the whole day. I don't want to let go, ever.

I hear Holly open the bathroom door. She runs out in a towel past me trying to cover herself up. I know she's insecure about her body. She told me the first night we met. She will never let a man see her body unless they really mean something to her and they have her full trust.
