Living with the Styles.

Chapter 19

Her hands moved through my curls, she pulled me as close as we could get, removing all space between us.

I watched Piper as her back rose up and down, whilst she slept on my chest. Her perfect long curls sprawled across her naked back. I watched her sleep, so peaceful and beautiful. Last night had to be the best night of my life. It was 6 in the morning I only slept for 3 hours. Piper started moving round. She was talking in her sleep.

‘Don’t leave me Harry. You promised. You said you loved me.’ She sounded distressed.

‘Piper wake up.’ I shook her lightly. She wouldn’t wake, she started shaking, her breathing started to pick up. ‘Piper wake up. It’s just a bad dream.’ I shook her a bit harder, without hurting her. She woke up panting again. Tears streaming down her face. She looked at me. She jumped into my arms and cried hard into my chest. I was starting to get really worried, this is the 2nd time she’s had a nightmare since she has been here and it hasn’t been a week yet.

‘I’m sorry Harry. I’m such a nuisance I’m really sorry.’ She whimpered.

‘Hey, don’t say that. Although I hate seeing you upset but I like being here looking after you when you are. It’s not your fault baby!’ I rubbed her back, trying to calm her down.

After she calmed down I asked her about her dream.

‘The same one I had yesterday. You cheated on me with Penny.’ She sighed, cuddling harder into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her tighter.

‘You know I’d never do that. I love you.’ I said.

‘I love you too.’

‘You know Last night was amazing.’ I said, kissing her hair. She giggled, pressing her face against my chest.

After a while of lying there, we decided to get up. I got up and put my boxer’s on. Piper sat, covered up by my duvet, watching me.

‘Harry I need a shower or a bath.’ Piper said.

‘I’ll run you a bath then. Don’t move I’ll get you a towel as well.’ I winked at her and went to run her a hot, bubble bath.

PIPER’S POV:

I hate the fact that my injury has cause Harry to do everything for me. I feel so stupid. Harry’s done so much for me and had to put up with me.

Harry came back with a towel and a big smile on his face. He was so cute; his dimples were showing making him even more irresistible. He was in his boxer, so his uh-ma-zing abs were showing. I bit my lip, trying not to stare. He handed me the towel and turned away so I could wrap it around me. I got up on one foot and wrapped it around me.

‘Done.’ I said, quietly. He turned around, smiling at me. He came over and picked me up bridal style. Thankfully the towel was quite long and didn’t ride up. He carried me into the bathroom and placed me down gently.

He winked and left the room. I sighed and dropped the towel on the floor and hobbled on one leg into the bath. I got in and pulled a load of bubbles to my chest, making sure my body was covered. I tied my hair into a bun and relaxed in the bath. Harry came in a little while later.

‘Can I come in babe?’ He asked.

‘Yea.’ I said.

He opened the door and sat on the toilet watching me. My broken leg was resting on the side of the bath, seeing as I couldn’t get the cast wet and I couldn’t take it off either. Harry took my hand and started playing with it. I looked at our hands, entwined together. Every time he touched me, I had sensations run through me and fireworks whenever he kissed me. But did he feel the same way or was he just doing to feel sorry for me.

‘Harry? Do you really mean it when you say you love me?’ I asked. He dropped my hand, making me look up. His face looked furious and his eyes were serious.

‘Why do you think that? Of course I do.’ He shouted.

‘Harry! Stop shouting!’ I whispered.

‘No, why should I? You think I don’t love you.’ His voice kept getting louder.

‘Please stop. I’m sorry, I just didn’t know.’ Tears started to fall from my eyes. Harry noticed and sighed heavily.

‘Piper, I’m sorry I shouted. I was just taken aback by your question. Of course I love you. I’m just tired; I’ve not been sleeping properly for like 4 days.’ He said, taking my hand again and kissed it, lightly. I’ve realised that this is my 4th night here, meaning I might be the reason Harry hasn’t been sleeping.

‘Why not?’ I asked.

‘You…’ He smiled, showing his dimples.

‘What? I’m messing with your health?’ I started to panic.

‘No, well yea, but it’s a good reason. I can’t stop thinking about you from the moment you got here.’ he leaned over and kissed me on the cheek, leaving a tingle on my cheek.

‘That’s so sweet. Harry, I love you.’ I pulled his face to mine and kissed his lips. We broke away and he winked at me.

‘I think you should get up, before you shrivel up like a prune.’ He said, giving me a quick peck on my lips and picking my towel up off the floor. And handing it to her.

‘Look away Curly.’ She said.

‘Oh man.’ he pouted and turned to look at the wall. I quickly got out and wrapped the towel on. I stood in the middle of the floor on one foot.

‘Done curly boy.’ I said and he turned around to pick me up. He picked me up and I rested my head into his neck and inhaled his scent. He carried me and rested me down.

‘I’m going to take a shower while you change.’ He kissed my cheek and left the room.

I slipped on my bra and underwear and grabbed the clothes Harry laid out on his bed. They were really cute, Harry had good taste. I slipped them on with difficulty cause of my broken leg but quick enough before Harry came back in. I was hopping around on one leg when Harry came in with a towel around his waist and water dripping from his hair. Harry’s phone started to go off so he dived for it and picked it up.

‘Hello?’ He asked. ‘Right. Oh okay, umm well I’m staying with Piper for the rest of the week before she can go back to college. Wait? She has? Oh okay. Bye Lou.’ Harry hung up.

‘What’s wrong?’ I asked.

‘Umm, well Monday, when I kissed Penny, umm she’s told the whole college were dating and that I hate you.’
