You and I (h.s)

Chapter 4

Poppy POV

London is a truly beautiful city, i am so grateful i get to live here. Just walking down the street brings a smile to my face, and yea i probably look like a lunatic smiling to myself while walking down the street but i don't care. I'm happy.

Or at least i was. After my lovely walk to my first class of the day, i opened up my social media and it went crazy. I have gotten over 1000 follow requests over night. I groan as i go on TMZ's website and see a artical about 'Harry's New Girl'. Harry warned me about this happened but it still feels so surreal. 

Harry: I'm really sorry about all the stuff online, i didn't think they would have a story this fast.

I smile while looking down at my phone, at least he cares.

Me: it's fine, you warned me about this.

Harry:I still feel bad that you have go through this.

Me: I said it was fine, trust me.

Harry: ok ok, are you free later? we can hang out after the boys and i rehearse?

Me: Sure, ill see you at the studio anyway.

Harry: see you later then.

A small smile graces my face as i walk to the on campus cafe to get some light studying in before my next class, and maybe some coffee. I take a seat next to the window after ordering my coffee, it was drizzling a little but i didn't mind. To me everything about London was beautiful. while I'm typing away on my laptop someone sits next to me, i look up so see one of my best friends, Cory.

"Hey little miss celebrity" he says while sitting down with a coffee in his hand. "Hows life with the rich and famous?" he asks while i roll my eyes.

"Not you too" i say while closing my laptop."I hang out with a celebrity once and now so many people wanna be my friend, what up with that?"

"People are fake i guess" he says while taking a sip of his coffee. "what Harry like, you know I'm a huge fan"

"He is really nice actually, Kind of goofy but in the best way" i say my eyes drifting out the window.

"Do you like him or something?" He asks with his eyebrows raised.

"No, Of course not, we are just friends." i say stirring my coffee lightly. "plus he is way out of my league." i saw with a laugh.

"You are so pretty Poppy, never doubt that." Corey says with a smile. "anyway lets head to class." 

I sigh before getting all my stuff together to follow Corey to our first class.

~Later that month~

"No Lucy, We are not watching 'a fault in our stars' for the fifth time tonight!" is say while curling up on the couch with my cup of tea.

"Come on Poppy, Its a great movie!" she pleads. I'm about to argue back when we hear the door bell. I stand up and go towards the door.

"I swear to god Lucy, if i get back and i see Shailene Woodly on that screen im going to kill you!" i shout at her as i open the door.

"Whats wrong with Shailene Woodly?" Harry asks with a smirk. 

"What the hell are you doing here?" i ask while giving him a hug. 

"Well our first show is tomorrow before we go on tour and i wanted to hang out before we leave" he says with a smile. Over the past couple of months Harry and i have become really close, From me forcing him to do facemasks with me to him taking me on kareoke adventures.

"Well come on in, We are about to watch a film" i say as i step aside for him to walk in. "A film that isn't 'A Fault in our star'" I shout towards Lucy.

"Don't worry I've chosen a better one" she shouts back as Harry and i walk into the living room and sitting down on the couch. "Get ready for the best documentary of all time" she states and the beginning of "This is us" start to play.

I laugh and look towards Harry and he starts to laugh and cover his face.

"This was my favorite thing when it first came out" Lucy says with a giggle. 

"Yea, and tomorrow we start another world tour.

"But this time i'll be there to support you!" i say with a smile while throwing some popcorn at him.

"Shhhh, The film is starting" Lucy shushes us. we both look at each other and laugh.

By the end of the film Lucy is passed out on the couch and Harry is still wide awake, "want a cup of tea?" i ask while standing up from the couch.

"Sure thing" he reply's as we both start to walk towards the kitchen. I flick the kettle on while Harry gets the mugs out of the cupboard, while we where working together to get the cups of tea ready i realized how well we meshed together. Like how we can do all this without out even talking about it, how we just fit together like puzzle pieces. 

"here is the milk" Harry says snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Thanks" i say while while i finish to make our cups of tea before walking over to Harry and handing him my mug. "we could go chill in my room so we don't wake Lucy?" i say while heading towards my bedroom.

"Sounds like a plan" Harry said and i heard him start to follow me up to my bedroom. when we get inside i blob down onto my bed after putting my cup of tea on my bedside table, harry follows suit. "I'm really going to miss you when i go back on tour" Harry said while smiling at me.

"I'll  miss you too, like who am i going to watch cringy rom-coms with?" i say with a laugh.

"No, but really. you've become one of my best friends" he says, i smile "your one of the only people who treat me normally, and i really love that. I really care about you Poppy" I watch as Harry's eyes flick from my lips and then back to my eyes again. 

Next think i know Harry's lips where against mine, our lips molded perfectly together, i reached behind Harry and buried my fingers in the curls at the nape of his neck while our lips moved perfectly in sync. When i actually realized what we where doing i pulled away. "I'm sorry, I cant believe i just did that" I say while moving back from Harry.

"Don't be sorry Pop, I kissed you." He says with a gentle smile.

"But what about tour, and everything" i say while nervously playing with my fingers.

"I care about you so much Poppy" he says while holding my fidgeting hands in his, "I've wanted to kiss you for a while now I've just always been too nervous." I laugh at him because he cheeks flush. I lean forward and press my lips against his once again.

"I care about you so much Harry" i say while resting my hand on his cheek. "But you're about to go on tour for like 8 months, and i have a school, it wouldn't work, maybe when you get back we can try. But now is just the wrong time, ok?" i say while smiling sadly, as much as i would love to be with Harry, it just wouldn't work out.

Harry smiles at me sadly, "its so annoying because you're right" he say while a chuckle.

"lets just go to sleep, yea?" i say while sculling the rest of my tea and laying down on my bed. Harry lays down next to me and we both fall asleep.
