(Chloe's P.O.V)
"I think you two should probably get dried off" Laura's mum laughed as she noticed our state when we went in to find the others. We spent ages just running about soaking eachother, having a full on water fight. The weight lifted off my shoulders to maintain something more than a friendship with Harry is a great help. Although I love him to pieces and he knows that, Louis knows that. I just think its best I have a break.. maybe. "Go head up stairs. I'll put the barbecue on and bring up the food, it's getting late so you can just pig-out in the room" she carried on heading out.
Laura and Kieran were sitting out in the garden playing with her little sister Ella.It was getting quite dark so we darted upstairs to get dried off and settles. Laura had lended me some pyjama shorts and a vest top and Harry had his boxers with one of Kieran's tshirts he kept here.
"I like your shorts" Harry smirked,
"You said you werent looking!" I shouted throwing my towel at him. I genuinely thought he wasnt, although its not a surprise he was. He slowly removed his tshirt over his head and I couldnt help but stare, and seeing all the tattoos cover his body.. I thought back to the first day I met him. Seeing the small bit of ink peering out from this arms of his shirt and wanting to see more. It's so weird to think that was just half a year ago I moved here and met Harry.

"These are so good!" he said taking the last bite of his burger and putting the plate on the bedside table, me following shortly after. Laura was probably asleep with Kieran by now, the house seemed pretty silent so I was assuming we were the only ones awake as we stayed up and I forced Harry into watching some Vampire Diaries with me on Netflix. He took some persuading but he finally gave in.
"What do you see in your future?" He suddenly asked, getting under the covers and tucking up beside me.
"I've never really thought of it, if i'm honest? Married, maybe? Start a family?" I replied resting my head next to his. He turned to face me, we were practically touching.
"It's always scared me, you know? The future. Ending up alone. I'd hate it"
"You wont though. Any girl deserves you and I can tell you'd make a perfect Dad" I smiled. He gently tucked a loose bit of hair behind my ear and traced his thumb down my cheek.
"Where do we stand, Chlo?" He asked quietly, "You know I want more than just a friendship"
"I do to. But today was amazing, just us as friends. Not having to worry about relationships or anything like that." I sighed resting my head in the crook of his neck.
He took a deep breath in, "I love you Chloe" his lips connected with mine, moving perfectly in sync. It was nothing passionate, infact far from it. But it was loving, nothing of intimacy but it felt right. And just there I realised that he'd never actually told me straight on the he loves me. He'd snuck it in in so many different ways, with and without actually saying it but that was the first time he just said "I love you" and it meant a lot. I want to be with him.
"I love you, Harry" I breathed, cuddling into his bare chest. His arms wrapped around me as we both fell asleep in eachothers embrace.
