Chapter 17

CATHERINE’S POV

            It’s been two weeks since we made it home from being with the guys. I was finally back to my summer sleeping schedule: up until three in the morning, sleep til noon. I missed Harry. We’ve barely spoken since then. A few texts have been exchanged that expressed our longing to see each other, but that’s about it.

            My friendship with Paige is completely back to normal. Everything is pretty much back to normal, and I almost wish it wasn’t. I miss the spontaneity of being on the road with the guys. There was always some new place to be, more people to see. There was new energy every night in each different city. I could see what a thrill it was having a life like that. There were two more weeks until the tour was over. That’s when I could see Harry. Jane and Paige peaked into my room, smiled on their faces. 

            “Come downstairs,” Paige said her smile wide. I had no idea what was going on.

            “I’ll be down soon.”

            “No, now,” Jane said snapping, but raising her eyebrow, showing she was kidding.

            “Why?” I said getting off of my bed. They each took one of my wrists and led me down the stairs. That’s when I saw him. His back was to me, but I recognized his dark curls. The tattoos that peeked around his toned arms. “Harry?”

            “Catherine!” he said running over to me. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he lifted me off of the ground in a huge hug. “I missed you so much,” he said into my neck, planting a soft kiss there.

            “I missed you too! What are you doing here?” I asked not being able to conceal my smile or excitement.

            “Well, tour is actually over now. I wanted to surprise you,” he said putting me down gently. I couldn’t help but smile. I looked over to where Jane and Paige were standing. They were smiling too. “I was actually talking to your mum, and I have a house down near the beach, but it’s secluded. You and I are staying there for a week, just us.”

            “Are you serious?” I said shocked that my mother would allow such a thing. I guess she really did trust me. I was after all, turning eighteen in a month.

            “Yes, just please be careful and make the right choices,” my mom cut in, eyeing both Harry and me.

            “When are we leaving?” I asked, sitting on the couch next to Harry.

            “Whenever you’re packed,” he grinned.

            “In that case, I’ll be right back,” I said smiling. Jane and Paige followed me to my room.

            “Holy shit! I cannot believe this is happening. Do you think you two will, you know?” Jane said smiling.

            “I can’t believe this either! And, um, I don’t know. It’s a little early,” I said trailing off, thinking of what it’d be like to be with Harry that way. I’d never surpassed making out and a little touching with anyone before, but I trust Harry more than any other guy I’ve been with, and I’m not sure why.
