"So how was your night Miss Peters?"

I was laying with Harry on his bed after the show, the afterparty, and the after-after party and it was already 3 a.m. Who knew dating a celebrity could be so exhausting?

"It was everything I had hoped for." I said, reaching my head up to give him a kiss. We were both in our pajamas but surprisingly, I wasn't that tired.

"And what was it that you hoped for?" He asked, scrolling on his phone with his arm around me.

"I hoped I would have an amazing night out with my handsome celebrity boyfriend, and that's exactly what I got."

He kissed me again and locked his Iphone, putting it on the night stand. His face got serious for a second and he looked down at me.

"Are you happy?"

His question caught me off guard.

"Well- I mean, yes I'm happy. Why would you ask me that?"

"I just want you to be happy." He said, remaining serious.

"Is something wrong?" I asked him, getting worried.

"No, no I just..I just want you to be happy Annie. I want you to be happy...with me."

I smiled but didn't say anything. I felt like he was being a little silly but I went along.

"Harry Styles, I am so happy when I'm with you. Now quit being all cheesy on me and make me some coffee." I said, moving to get out of bed.

Harry grabbed me by the waist, almsot half off the bed, "Do you know what time it is missy?!"

"You know what, maybe I don't even need coffee. I feel just fine on my own." I kissed Harry quickly to distract him and then hopped off the bed and headed for the door.

"Nooo!" I heard Harry laughing behind me and I suddenly felt his large hands on my hips right before I got to the door.

"Stop...I can't...breathe...Harry!" He had me pinned to the floor sitting on top of me at my waist, with one hand holding both my wrists above my head, and was using his free hand to tickle the crap out of me.

Harry kept laughing and smiling like a little kid on Christmas.

"I'm gonna...pee my pants Harry," I couldn't stop laughing so nothing sounded serious coming out of my mouth.

There was a knock on the door and Harry covered my mouth with his hand.

"Who is it?" He giggled.

"Uh, Liam, is everything alright?" Harry couldn't help it, he covered his own mouth to keep from laughing.

"Yes mate, we're just fine!" Harry shouted.

It got quiet and I could hear Liam's footsteps going back down the hallway. Harry pushed his hair out of his face and caught his breath, I took the opportunity to push him back so I could wriggle free and headed for the door again.

"Annie!" Harry called for me, still in hysterics.

I put my hand on the door knob, teasing him, and I turned back.

"Yes?"

"I love you." Harry said, all smiles.

I stopped, my hand slipping off the door knob and my smile fading. He caught me totally off guard and I didn't know what to do at that moment, so I did what I do best when people surprised me.

I ran.
