You & I (Harry Styles)

// Chapter 6 //

Harley's P.O.V

*1 month later*

We just finished lunch at the café near the beach which has become our hangout and I'm really starting to enjoy Harry's company. I feel like we've known each other forever, but there's something about him that just brings out the real me, I guess. I can just be myself when I'm around him, my real self. He makes me forget about my past and I think that he could change me in a way. Anna and I decided we would stay here longer than we planned as Brendon and Harry are staying here and we already graduated so we're just going to apply at the same university as each other. We're also planning to get a beach house here as we've been crashing at Brendon's house which he says he doesn't mind, but it would be nice to have our own house. Harry and Brendon have become more and more closer this past month and so have Harry and I.

"Enjoying the view Harl?" Harry smirks at me, god those fucking dimples. I hadn't realized I've been staring at Harry. I shake my head to push the thoughts to the back of my mind and chuckle nervously.

"Sorry" I say keeping my head down, not wanting to make eye contact.

"It's alright." Harry smiles and lifts my chin up so I'm facing him. I smile and stare at his gorgeous face for what feels like the hundredth time today. He slowly leans in and it feels like we're the only ones here. His phone rings and he immediately groans.

"Hello?" he answers annoyed.

He mouth 'sorry' and I shake my head saying 'its fine'.

"Are you serious? What for? Now? Of course I'm happy, I was just.. in the middle of something, that's all. Alright ill be there." He ends the call and opens his mouth but closes it and I look at him confused.

"Is everything alright?" I ask, getting worried.

"Yeah, its just I-I've been keeping something from you." Oh. My face falls and I try to hide my nervousness as to what he's about to tell me.

"It's not a huge deal but.. I'll just start explaining and you'll understand." I just nod and he tells me what hes been hiding from me.

He tells me that he's in a band and that they're having a meeting later today to talk about going on a short tour for 2 months but they haven't figured out when. He tells me a bit about his band mates; Louis, Zayn, Niall and Liam and a little bit about their band. They have been best friends since high school and that's when they decided to form a band. They started with singing covers and putting them up on youtube and one day they finally got noticed and now there is a possibility that they are going on tour.

"I'm really sorry I kept it from you" Harry apologises, avoiding eye contact with me. I still don't get why he kept it from me. Was he embarrassed? Ashamed? Why would he be? I'm sure he has a great voice, I've never really heard him sing much but I've heard him humming to some songs but that's it.

"Why didn't you just tell me? I wasn't gonna tease you or anything. Are you embarrassed or something?" I ask, curiosity getting the best of me. Like always.

"What? No. I-I uhm I was afraid." Afraid? Okay, I'm confused.

"Afraid of what?" Harry sighs and frowns even more.

"I was afraid that you would leave me when I told you about the band and the tour. I was afraid that you would find someone else, someone better if you left me and I don't wanna lose you. You make me feel alive and I can be myself around you, the real me and I know we haven't known each other that long but it feels like I've known you my whole life. I don't wanna lose you Harley, I really don't. I-I think I'm falling in love with you. I understand if you don't feel the same way but I just wanted to tell you how I felt."

He takes a deep breath after his long speech and I am speechless. I think I love him too and what he said to me is exactly how I feel about him. His eyes are now glossy and I can't bring myself to say anything. I love him, but what if when he goes on tour he finds someone new and he completely forgets about me.

"Please say something?" he looks at me nervously, his eyes full of hope and I my mind is jumbling with what I want to say to Harry.

"1 month, Harry. That's all it took for me to fall in love with you. I can say the same about myself when I'm with you. You make me feel like nothing else in the world exists and you make me forget about my past. It's like I've started a new life or I'm in a new world. I would never tease you about what you love doing. I-I love you, Harry." I smile at him and he does the same, his cute dimples showing.

Harry surprises me by crashing his lips onto mine. After a few seconds I kiss back and we smile through the kiss. His tongue swipes across my bottom lip and I happily grant him entrance, our mouths moving in sync. His tongue explores my mouth and I smile into the kiss. It's moments like this that I wish would last forever, but unfortunately they have to end. We pull away, both gasping for air and he pecks my lips once more.

"I love you Harley Samson" he smiles and we take a walk on the beach before heading back.
