His Little Secret

Chapter 5

Lilys P.O.V

The next morning I wake up in Harry's arms. Wait why am I in his arms?! Oh. Yeah. I think I love him. What?! No, no, no. I can't love him.

Suddenly Harry begins to move. "Morning beautiful" he says smiling.

"Uhm morning Harry" I say stunned.

"Did I just call you beautiful" he asks biting his lip.

"Yeah. You did" I say trying not to laugh.

"Sorry" he says looking down.

I don't know what to say honestly. Is it ok he called me beautiful? We can't just go from enemies to laughing and eating pizza watching Disney movies on my bed. Oh wait that did happen. Last night. What was I thinking? Is this all a dream? It can't be. I mean really he's laying next to me.

"I think we should go out for breakfast" I hear him say.

"What about your gang? Won't they 'ruin my life' somehow" I ask.

"I'll protect you Lillian don't worry" he says reassuringly.

I laugh. "How?"

"How what Lillian? How will I protect you? Strong" he says.

"No, no I mean how do you go from hating me to saying you'll protect me" I ask.

He just sighs. He doesn't answer.

Harry's P.O.V

I want to tell her I've loved her all along. That she's beautiful and smart. She's kind and funny. I just can't tell her these things. What will she do? Walk away? Laugh at me? Accuse me of lying? I can't risk that.

She just stares at me. I can see in her eyes she's slightly disappointed. She looks so...sad? Distant. I don't know. Just off.

"Please come I breakfast with me" I beg her.

"Fine" I can just barely hear her mumble.

"I'll wait in the living room while you get dressed" I say and leave.

She is so pretty. She is perfect. So kind and understanding. Then there's me. Highly imperfect. Rude and impatient. Leader of a gang. How could someone like her ever love me? Or trust me?

Around five minutes later she walks into the living room. Her short dark brown hair with those beautiful red highlights is styled. She is wearing short shorts and a superman tee and superman converse. Wow. I think she's wearing a little eyeliner too. She gives me a weird look. Oh wait, I'm staring.

"Sorry" I blurt out.

"It's fine Harry" she blushes.

"Ready?" I ask her.

"Yup" she says popping the P.

The drive there is silent all except for my radio. She just sits there staring out the window. She looks so perfect. Her personality is perfect. She is simply just perfect in every way and, I'm a mess.

Once there I get out and open the door for her. She smiles at me and gets out.

"So this is my favorite place to come" I tell her.

"It is? I used to come her with my father before- you know what never mind" she says and a look of sadness crosses her face.

What happened to her father? Did he leave them? Or worse? I choose to ignore it and get a table for two.

Once we are say and given the menus I hear a voice from behind.

"STYLES IS THAT YOU?!" Lou yells. He's holding his girlfriend Deedee close.

"Hey..." I say. He and pretty much the whole gang is together. "Uhm why did you being the gang along? Dude you know this is not out setting" I say with a sigh.

"We came looking for you!" Bridget answers for him.

"Yeah I tried calling you but I kept getting voicemail, Harry. What's going on?" he asks with a smirk. "Who's your friend their Harold?" he laughs staring at her. "Isn't that the girl you make fun of all the time? Why is she with you?" He asks accusingly.

"Well uhm. You know what Louis that is something you don't need to know" I shout

"Harry calm down" Lily scolds acting like a mother.

"I knew something was up, Harold. You never leave your phone alone or ignore a call of ours" Niall says.

"Harry why are you hanging out with this geek?" Lisa laughs.

"Guys lay off" Bridget growls. "Maybe Harry has feelings for this 'geek' and as I recall he is the gang leader" Bridget says confidently but I can see the look of fear on her face.

"Who are you to tell us what to do midget?! Your nothing but a gang member yourself" Louis snaps.

"For all we know she could be spying for Zayn" Niall says. "Him and his gang are a pretty geeky bunch" Niall says with a concerned look.

"Just go" I scream. I've had enough of their nonsense.

I get up. Anyone who doesn't leave will be forced to leave by me. The things they said about Lily hurt her. I can't believe them. At least Bridget tried to help. But Lisa? I thought her and Lily were at least acquaintances. Lisa never talked bad about Lily until just a moment ago.

I smile in amusement as they all leave. They know anyone who disobeys will either be nearly killed or killed. I haven't ever resorted to death mainly because I'm too soft to do that.

All I've needed my whole life was someone who could turn it around. And there she is. Sitting in that chair broken and hurt. If I could I'd leave the gang right now. Sadly it isn't that simple.

"You ok" I ask while sitting down.

She nods but, clearly she isn't ok.

After breakfast we spend the rest of the morning at my house. Talking and watching films. Wow she is awesome. I smile then frown. Ever since I became 'Marcel' I've thought about trying to ditch the gang. It would mean leaving this place, changing my phone number, and possibly hiding all my life.

From the begging Niall never trusted me. He knew I wasn't fit for it but everyone else believed I was. I was lost and willing to do anything. I didn't know who I was and now I do.

I now know I want to grow old with Lily. I know I want to have kids with her. I know I want to be better than what I am now. Right now I have a bad rep and I am nothing but Harry the leader of a gang. I want to be known as a great husband and loving father.
