"The Only Way I Know" (A Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 24

HARRY'S POV:

Currently I am sitting in our living your with all of the boys and Shay. Shay's in my lap with her little body is in between my legs and she is resting her head on my chest, while my back is pressed up against some pillows in front of the couch holding up our weight. Not even like there was a lot of weight to hold up. Shay basically weighed as much as a feather literally, I feel like if you accidentally push her she might fall and break. She's so tiny and delicate. I love it. It makes me feel like I am very strong and powerful, like I'm her superman always trying to save and protect her and that's what I would do for her, forever. I'll do everything in my power to make sure she is always safe because it's my job to do so. I love her to much to see her ever get hurt.

Were all now on the third movie of the night, I think it's called "Bad Grandpa" and you can tell everybody is getting tired, except for one person of course. Niall. He's a continuous ball of energy that could seriously go on forever without ever sleeping and still be the happiest and most cheerful person you'd ever meet. It's actually somewhat freaky how a real person could do that haha. I on the other hand, need sleep every night or else I tend to get very grumpy you could say, or moody. I just like to sleep and need it because of our schedule that is contantly so demanding on our minds and our bodies, but that is beside the fact right now because the lads and I have a year off of touring while we finish our fourth and some of our fifth album. It's pretty sweet for managment to let us do this, they could all tell that we needed some time just to breathe and recompose ourselves. I respect and thank them all greatly for that. They always have what's best for us in mind even when we may not want to hear it, but they do.  That's why they are giving us this time in Los Angeles and they said that once our time here is done they will ease us back into touring again, like start it out slow and it will eventually pick up it's pace again and they want us to all come back refreshed and ready to go. I can handle that.

I looked around to see that everybody was indeed sleeping now, even Niall. I glanced over my right shoulder to look at the clock on the mantel to see what the time was, it was 12:30. Hmm. Everybody must be really tired from today, I suppose. I peered down at Shay who now was curled into a somewhat more of a ball form in between my legs with one side of her head on my chest and both of her arms wrapped around my torso and my arms drapped around her with my chin on her head. She even looked stunning when she was sleeping. The way her lips are slightly pursed and how her nose twitches every once and again and how one of her little hands comes up and itches it and how her beautiful, long, black eyelashes seem to look as they extend on forever leaving you in a trance. She was truly a sight. She didn't even have to try with all of that make up most girls wear, her natural beauty is what truly shines through.

I, myself, have decided that I, too, was getting quite tired so I decided that I needed to get some rest aswell. I gently scooted myself, with Shay's little body laying on top of mine, down until I was laying flat against the floor and I repositioned both of us until I was in a comfortable postion and then wrapped my right arm over Shay's waist and scooted her closer into my front so that I was spooning her.

I just lay there for a little just amdiring and watching Shay, don't get me wrong I'm definitley not a stalker. I just love my girlfriend. I ran my fingers threw her hair once and tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear and softly kissed the top of her head and drifted off into one of the best sleeps I have ever had soley because because of one thing. Well, actually a person. Shay.

**THE NEXT MORNING**

HARRY'S POV: (STILL)

I was woken up this morning to gentle hands lightly tracing over my face and my lips slowly, and running their fingers through my curly hair. A wonderful way to wake up, opposed to how I normally wake up; one of the boys jumping on my bed screaming at me that it's time to get up. This way, I definitley liked alot better. I knew it was Shay from by the size of the hands and how gentle they were in touching me. Even though I was awake, Shay didn't know that and I didn't want her to stop because it was so calming and relaxing, the feeling of her, so I stay pretending I was still alseep until her tiny voice spoke up.

"Harry, I know for a fact that your awake. Wake up." I squinted one of my eyes at her and then quickly shut it. A small smile forming on my lips.

"Am not." I said with a coy smile.

"Babe, I saw your eyes both slightly open and your breathing changed once you woke up." Shay laughed. I instantly followed her actions in doing the same and quickly grabbed her by her waist and turned over so I was on m back and placed Shay so that she was stradling my hips.

"Good morning." I whispered to Shay as I tugged her down so that she was practically laying on me and hugged her.  Her hands went up to my face again gently touching my skin.

"Good morning." Shay smiled back down at me and then brought her face down so that her lips could reach mine. She placed her lips on mine and kissed mine for a good while until she pulled away.

"I love you." Shay silently whispered in my ear, loud enough so that just I could hear it.

"I love you." I also silently whispered into Shay's hair as she had tucked her head into my neck.

This day has just started and it's already perfect. Every morning needs to be just like this one.
