Chapter 10

(Happy Birthday to the best follower and friend in the world CaptainZiggy; gurl you da bomb. Since your present isn’t finished I figured an update would be a nice surprise ;)

As I walk into Harry’s outstretched arms he pulls me in tight and buries his face in my hair, inhaling deeply.

I hear him whisper words meant for his ears only but I pick them up, “Oh Mel, what have I gotten us into.”

Melanie’s POV

I hug Harry tight, trying to soothe his worried thoughts in addition to fighting off the urge to panic I have been feeling rising up ever since I first saw the black car following me. Harry’s hand gently strokes my hair as my fingers rub small circles on his back, and I feel him physically relax in my arms.

“Harry, whatever is going on, I promise we’re gonna be fine. You promised to keep me safe and I trust you, nothing is going to go wrong. I’ll be fine, we’ll be fine.”

“I really hope you’re right Mel, I can’t stand the thought of having something happen to you,” Harry says, pulling away from our embrace.

“Well I know I’m right in saying that chocolate chip cookies will definitely help both of us feel better! Where do you keep your flour and sugar?” I ask him, hoping to distract him and myself from the situation.

“Um, well you see, that is a very good question that I should probably know the answer to,” Harry says timidly, “But, well, the truth is, my mom does all the cooking, I just know where the refrigerated stuff is.”

Harry blushes, embarrassed by the fact that he doesn’t even know where the flour and sugar are in his own kitchen; and I can’t help but laugh at him. “Wow, the great and mighty Harry Styles does not know his way around the kitchen!”

“Awh Mel, you don’t have to advertise it, cooking is a woman’s job anyways,” I look to Harry’s face as he speaks and I hope to find proof that he’s joking about cooking being a woman’s job but seems to be completely serious.

I swat his arm, “You are such a cock! You do realize this is not the 18th century right?”

A grin splits Harry’s face, “God Mel, I was kidding! Did you really just call me a cock though? What kind of an insult is that?”

I can’t stop laughing as it registers in my mind that I just used Darbie and I’s favorite insult on Harry, “Sorry that’s just my to insult a lot of times, Darbs and I used to call people cocks all the time just because we thought it sounded super funny and everyone else would be like ‘what the hell are you doing’ and it was just really funny! So yeah, to answer your question, I did call you a cock.”

By the time I finish my explanation Harry is laughing just as hard as I am, “Tell me about Darbie, I can tell by the way your eyes light up when you talk about her that you really love her.”

“Oh I do love that girl, she is honestly my best friend in the whole world. Like she is crazy fun and honestly we are like the same person. And you already know she listens to great music!”

“Yeah, I don’t know the girl but if someone listens to good music then I automatically like them, plus she’s your friend so I like her even more!” Harry grins. “But tell me more!”

“Okay, well we met in eighth grade and has two siblings, an annoying sister and a fat, dickhead pot smoking brother who is dating a whore with like every STD in the book. Oh, and she also has a super cute puppy named Axel! She’s tall, blonde, and we talk shit on everyone together and that sounds really bad but it’s actually really fun.”
