After having spent the most amazing evening at Harry's dorm, it was getting really late and I needed to get up early the next morning because Caleb and I were supposed to practice for our upcoming game out on the court at seven o'clock. I explained to Harry that I would've never gotten out of bed that early if I were to sleep over at his place, and that was the honest truth.

As soon as I left his dorm I felt my phone buzz in my pocket.

HARRY: It's dark in the corridors. Don't get your arse lost because I don't want you ending up in somebody else's bed. x

ME: Possessive already?

HARRY: Shush. Sleep well. G'night.

ME: You're coming to the game tomorrow right?

HARRY: 'Course. I'm gonna watch you play like last time. I've never seen you sexier.

ME: Then maybe I should keep the clothes on for when we get back to "snuggle" in my dorm...

HARRY: That sounds like one of your best ideas ever. *smirking emoji*

ME: Thanks! Goodnight. Try not to have wet dreams about me. x

HARRY: Fuck off. xx

...

Believe it or not, the game ended with an even better score than the one two months earlier. This time, I even managed to score seven goals instead of six. For this I was praised by the entire team and even some of the opponents. Everyone wondered how I had suddenly become so talented (because let's face it, I wasn't the best during the previous season), but I had no answer. After all, I had not practiced as much as planned—due to my habitual meetings with Harry—so I suppose it was just pure luck.

A text rolled in just after I had greeted everyone (except for one person) off the court.

HARRY: I've gone to your dorm. You were amazing my baby. I'll be waiting for you here. x

My shoulder was yanked to the side just as I was about to sprint off and one of my teammates raised his voice at me.

"Aye! Tomlinson! We're gonna go buy a few pints! C'mon!"

Nah-uh, that is not happening.

"Sorry, I can't! I have to meet with someone!"

After getting booed at by a couple of teammates, I laughed and hurried off towards the dorm building. Still as sweaty as a pig, I sprinted up the stairs with my footie trainers still tightly laced on my feet and my jersey flowing with the air as I jumped with every tread. Once I made it to the dorm I yanked the door open to find my beautiful prize sprawled out on my bed.
