Chapter Twenty Eight: Well Deserved Vacation

[Zoe’s POV]

The van had dropped both Harry and I at Tilly’s apartment and it suddenly hit me that now was the time to discuss the future seeing so particular questions had been avoided and covered up ever since Harry and I had gotten back together. We walked into the house waving goodbye to the boys who peered at us from the windows of the car as it disappeared down the street. As we entered through the door we found the house empty and decided to make our way upstairs. We entered the room that I was staying in and I threw my things down onto the floor as I collapsed onto the bed and lay staring at the ceiling. Harry soon joined me taking off his shoes and crawling up beside me as he lay still and silently on his stomach. His hand brushed across my forehead wiping away the soft curls that lie across my face as his hand fell from my cheek and I let him drape his arm across my waist. I shifted my head to glance in his direction and allowed a small smile to slip across my face.

“Come and live with me again?” Harry proposed staring intensely into my eyes waiting for a response. I wasn’t shocked at all by his question as I knew that this discussion on this particular topic had been right around the corner. However, I was surprised by my feelings. Almost all of me wanted to say yes, and wanted to move back into the boys flat, but some part of me didn’t. I wanted to be here with my best friend, and something inside of me thought that our relationship would work out better this time if we weren’t always together 24/7.

“Can I have some time to think, I mean it’s just… Tilly will be alone and the media and-“I began but I was silenced by Harry’s single finger that had barley brushed my lips as he gestured for me to be quiet.

“You can have as long as you need” He said reassuringly as he smiled and propped himself up. Towering over me as he slowly brought his lips to mine, I felt a rush of pleasure wash over me; this may just be the first time I’d ever ‘gotten with’ Harry since we’d been split. He reached his hand up the back of my shirt and pressed his fingers into my spine as he slowly and gently dragged them down my back. Breaking away from my lips he began to plant small kisses on my jaw line which proceeded down to my neck. “Screw Tilly” I muttered as I caught my breath back. “Of course I’m moving back in” and with that I heard Harry’s muffled laughter as he grinned and brought his lips back to mine.  He tugged lightly on my shirt as I slipped it off quickly and my hands found their way back around to his neck. Now I was certain that moving back in with Harry would definitely have its many benefits ;)

 I awoke the next morning in Harry’s strong hold as I opened my eyes to find the window glass fogged up from the cold, as motionless raindrops covered it. I peered up to see Harry’s eyes still tightly shut as I couldn’t help but smile into his chest. I knew he was faking, and he wasn’t doing a very good job at it. A sudden grin broke across his face as his beautiful eyes opened revealing a glisten.  

“Good morning” He said cheerfully in his low husky voice as he simultaneously wrapped both of his arms around my waist. Together we lay still and silentl while listening to the raindrops fall from outside as Harry soon began aimlessly tracing patterns on my lower back. After a good half an hour of snuggling together, we decided it was time to get out of bed when Tilly had announced that Caitlin and Louis would be over for lunch with some exciting news. I ducked into the shower as Harry changed back into his clothes from the day before. We spent the morning snuggled up on the lounge watching a movie as Tilly and Zayn were out for the morning having breakfast at some fancy café. Harry made us both hot chocolates as we sat intertwined on the lounge. Lunch came by quickly and it was still raining as six very familiar faces stood eagerly on the doorstep. It was Louis and his fiancée Caitlin, Niall and his girlfriend Emily, and Liam and his ex Rachael, who was really only here for her two best friends, or at least that’s how she put it.

“Hey guys, come in” Harry said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. Everyone walked in followed by Zayn and Tilly who had just arrived back from morning tea seconds after everyone else.

“Here Haz, I thought you might want these” Louis said handing Harry a fresh bag of clothes as he shot him a cheeky look.

“Ah, Thanks Lou!” Harry said appreciatively returning a smug smile as he ducked upstairs to get changed. Meanwhile everyone had made themselves comfortable in the living room. Liam and Rachael were sitting as far away as possible, Caitlin and Louis were loved up on the couch, Tilly was lying in Zayn’s lap on the ground near the coffee table, and Niall and Emily were in a conversation about who loved the other the most!? Harry quickly re-appeared just in time to stop me from some very awkward conversations as he took his hand in mine and we joined the other couples as we took our seats on the other end of the couch. Louis quickly stood up smirking as he left his fiancée sitting on the lounge.

“Okay, okay” He began trying to capture everyone’s ungiven attention.

“You all know that I’m… we’ll we’re engaged” Louis said putting emphasis on the word we’re as he glanced at his new ‘wife to be’.

“And we’re thinking of doing something crazy as a little celebration, so if you’re busy or you can’t make these dates for some reason than we completely understand but…” Louis said as the suspense began to rise.

“We’ve booked a cruise for all of you to join us on for our engagement party!” He said happily as he took in our expressions. Suddenly we all began cheering and clapping as excitement filled our faces.

“That sounds like fun!” Niall laughed hugging his girlfriend in the process.

“Congratulations guys!” Rachael smiled happily at her former best friend who was already tearing up. The comments of compliment kept on flowing as Louis returned to the lounge comforting Caitlin.

“Don’t worry, I already know you’ll be the best wife” He said affectionately.

“Oh, I’m not worried…” She replied wiping away the countless tears that began to stain her soft pink cheeks. “I’m happy!” She continued as even more tears continued to fall from her beautiful brown eyes. Attempting to comfort her Louis quickly pulled her into a hug as he secured his arms around her waist. “Happy tears” She mumbled into his shoulder as she planted a single kiss on his collarbone.

“And YOU make me happy” He said in a warm voice as he kissed her on the cheek lovingly.

And it was what I had just seen right then and there, that gave me a sense of peace and happiness. To know that my friend was happy and that no matter how hard things got for them after their wedding, they would always be able to pull through it. Right there sat the once innocent girl that I became friends with and right there, was true love.
