Ashes [Haylor AU]- Smoke Sequel

Chapter 20

Chapter 20:

Taylor's POV

"I hope that was ok...I mean I hope I didn't cross any lines," Harry says as I lay cuddled to his side.

"Not at all," I say. 

He then presses a kiss to my temple. I lay there and think about what had just happened. Harry's skin on mine. His hands all over my body and his lips on every inch. It wasn't like I remembered it. This time it was different. Less of an obligation and out of the moment but more as if things were in place. It was slightly relieving and I felt more open and vulenerable to trust Harry. Not much but more than I had before because he had taken the pressure away from this aspect of our relationship.

"What happened last night?" I ask him.

"I just had a talk with my dad. Out of all places he chooses the lounge. Jake and his dealers are all residing there as headquaters now. He invited me to go out with him and Cory and that's when I learned everything. I shouldn't have but I was so angry. It's hard to control my hatred towards him," He explains.

"You've been going through it most of your life so I wouldn't expect you to. All I wanted was a call," I say and then look down at my hands.

"I know. I messed up like always," He admits and then takes my hand in his.

"Have you ever thought about taking a break?" I ask him.

"From what? My family or us?" He asks with a frown.

"With the famous life. All of it actually. A break with me," I say comforting him a little.

"A vacation with you? That's all I could ever want baby," He cooes, giving me a dimpled smirk.

"Well Cher's grandma had passed and she has non refundable tickets to Carribean and I was wondering you would like to come with me," I offer.

"Are you serious?" He asks, slightly sitting up.

"Yeah. If you want to go," I reply.

"Of course I want to go? When do we leave so I can tell Cory," He questions.

"This Thursday," I say.

"I can miss rehearsals for a few days. I didn't do much anyway," He says with a small laugh.

"Alright. I'll call Cher and we can start packing," I tell him.

*Harry's POV*

-Flashback-

"You don't get it though," Cory says loudly through out the bar.

"Get what? I can't control what she does," I snap.

"You don't get that I am in love with her," He announces practically to the whole room.

'"Calm down and shut up. Plus if I have learned anything Harry always wins," Jake barks.

"Wins? I don't win anything. I just got lucky is all. Who would love a dick like me?" I ask.

"Taylor apparently. I mean you must be something real special because I'm a dick too. I just don't have a good girl on my arm," He chuckles and then proceeds to slam the rest of his drink.

"I for one am not a dick and I can treat her better. No offense Harry but now that I know your stories were about Taylor I see that she deserve better,' His truth was bitter and annoying but he was right.

"I can guarentee that you are right. But I think that I have shaped up," I snap.

"I don't get how you have the power to make her so happy and not know how to use it," He replies and then downs another shot.

"I have daddy issues what can I say. I am never going to get over them, and I have learned my ways from him. I have to control myself but it is difficult. You don't understand," I say with a scowl while I turn the beer bottle around in my hand.

"I have a dead fiance and sick mother and you don't see me acting out," He snorts.

"Keep talking. You're the one who killed her," I say something I immediately regret.

"Fuck you," He spits and then springs to his feet.

Before he can hit me Jake stops him. He proceeds to hold him back and whisper things in his ear. His face shows pain as he falls back down onto the barstool.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way. I just mean that you can't say it's easy," I reply and he turns to face the counter.

"I know," He says and then slams his fist against the table.

"You both need to settle down and have another drink..It's going to be a long night," Jake mumbles.

Both Cory and I settle. Not a word was exchanged about Taylor and our situations again.

-End Flashback-

I rub my eyes as I wake up. I feel a bit drowsy and I can feel Taylor's body warm and cuddled against me. It was the afternoon and we had fallen back asleep after a few hours of talking. I can't believe that I had been intrusted enough to become intimate with her again. I couldn't help but take advantage of what I was granted, I kept touching every inch of her body. Letting my fingers and mouth truly aperciate it because who knew how long it would be until she wanted me that way again. I loved her so much but I was too afraid to let her know. We had been working at our relationship a lot lately and she even invited me to go on vacation just her and I.

"Harry," Her voice breaks my thoughts.

"Yes," I say groggily.

"Your phone went off about an hour ago," She informs me.

"I'll be right back," I say with my hoarse sleepy voice.

I get out of bed and wrap the towel back around my waist. I then pick the basket of clothes up and take it into the laundry area. I grabbed my phone along the way so that I could see what I had missed. It was a call from Niall.

"Hello?' His irish accent rings into my ear when he picks up on the second ring.

"Hey man, you called?" I say as I toss the contents of the basket into the machine.

"Yeah I just wanted to invited you to pass the message along about Michelle's bridal shower to Taylor. I assume you're over there right now," He hints.

"That's besides the point," I crack a small grin with Niall's assumption.

"Also I was going to have someething with the guys that same day. You're invited," He mentions after a long drawn out Niall type laugh.

"Sure thing. How close to the wedding?' I ask.

"I think next month is her date. You're going to be my best man right?' He questions.

"For sure it would be an honor Niall," I say, making me smile again.

"I know you have a lot on your plate but I wanted you to be my best man as one of my best friends," He tells me.

"I always have time for you and the boys. Don't think I don't," I say sternly.

"Thanks man. So bridal shower and stuff is all next Friday. Not this upcoming but the next," He reminds me.

"Alright I'll call you later man," I say. He and I then hang up.

So I know this was kind of short but I didn't want any of the vacation to bleed into this chapter because that is what next. There is only ten or fifteen more chapters of this book, I haven't decided yet. Sorry it's the sequel so it won't be as long as the first one. But I have a really awesome story planned and I can't wait to start writing it! So I'll try to update this one more often so I can begin my next project :) Well I hope you guys enjoyed and votes and comments will help me know what you guys think. Thanks so much for reading and I love you guys so much!
