I woke up from my body being scorched. I see Harry sprawled out across me. His head is lying on my chest and he has his right arm sitting across my belly while our legs are tangled. He's like crushing me and trapping me in a cocoon that I'm dying to escape. This would be a lot more romantic if I wasn't dying! I try to slip out from under him but he's just to heavy to move. I nudge his shoulder to try to wake him and he responds with a groan. Hehehe. A grin slowly makes it's way to my lips and I have an evil idea pop into my head.

I start tickling his sides and he jolts right up and his head whacks me in the chin. "Ouch!" "Ohhh" We say simultaneously. "Well, that backfired," I groan rubbing my chin. Harry's kneeling on the bed rubbing the back of his head.

"That was a rude awakening."

"Sorry, but you were killing me." He cocks his head to the side and gives me an odd look. "You trapped me under your weight and you radiate way too much body heat. It was horrible." He flushes. Damn! Can he get any more adorable. Seriously. He is looking gorgeous for just waking up. His unruly hair is even more ruffled from the night's sleep and the way his face is so content from just waking up.

With him just wearing his boxers, his tattoos are on full display. I just want to trace my fingers over the ink. Get a grip Willow! You have more important things to worry about than drooling all over Mr. Harry Styles. "Sorry about that," he runs his hand through his hair. I wish I could do that. "What time is it?" I glance at my watch.

"It's going on nine." That being said he climbs off the bed and goes into the bathroom. I soon hear the shower being turned on. I peel the overs off of my body and sit up. What a sight to wake up to. I think I'd be okay with seeing that every morning. I smile from the memories of last night and then I remember..."Andrew," I whisper. I scramble to my phone and call Kasey.

"Hello," She picks up.

"Kasey! How's Andrew doing? He didn't do anything else did he?"

"He's got a pretty bad hangover. I had to call Luke to help me carry him. Once he got into my car he passed out. Luke and I have just been keeping an eye on him through the night to make sure nothing happened...but it's all good!" What a big relief!

"Thank God! How is Luke? Anything happen?" I ask suggestively. Kasey has been all ogle eyes over him for a couple years now. It's not pathetic, but it's adorable admiration. Us three have been friends for years and I see the chemistry but neither of them do.

"No!" She scolds me. "There's nothing between us." She says a bit more sullenly.

"Sorry, it just...never mind." Harry walks in from the bathroom fully clothed with his hair glistening from the shower. I hold up my index finger signaling that I need a minute to finish my conversation. "Hey, Kase, I need to go. Talk later?"

"Yea, enjoy the rest of your trip!"

"I will, bye." Hanging up the phone I turn to Harry.

"Who was that?" He's making is way back over to the bed and sits down next to me.

"It was Kasey, she said that her and my friend Luke looked after him over the night. He's fine." Harry wraps his arms around me.

"Don't worry about him. Your friends will take good care of him. Please, don't allow him to suck all the fun we have for us today. Okay?" He's gently rubbing my back. I nod resting my head against his shoulder, breathing in his scent. It's calming and comforting. After a minute I slowly lift my head up.

"I should get a shower." I say getting up off the bed.

"Okay. We'll go get some lunch when you're done." I nod and walk into the bathroom. Seeing my reflection in the mirror I'm mortified. My hair is one big brown messy mass on my head and the lack of sleep left it's evidence in its wake. My eyes are all squinty and I have dark circles under my eyes. Before I get into the shower I splash some cool water on my face to wake me up a bit, and boy do I see the difference.

When I get out of the shower I notice a note on my side of the bed:

Willow,

Meet me and the rest if the guys in the breakfast room and then we can take off and have our own day of fun. ;)

Harry

A grin grows instantaneously on my face. Why does he make my heart skip a beat? I have to take thugs slow though. I just got out of a relationship and even though I broke up with Andrew he still has a special place in my heart. I just hope there's enough room for Harry to squeeze his way in, then he can *slowly* win my heart. Slowly. Hell, I just met him.

Breakfast was nice and light, but most of the time I was wondering what Harry has planned for us. "Sooo, what are we doing today?" I ask for the millionth time."

"It's a surprise." Harry groans at me.

"But I hate surprises." "But you hate surprises." We say simultaneously. I give him the best glare I can manage. He thinks is some joke, but it's not. I'm too much of a control freak and not know a plan gets me anxious. He's darn lucky I haven't gotten an anxiety attach.

"Just go with the flow, would ya?" He scolds me, and it instantly shuts me up. You haven't seen the last of me. I huff folding my arms. I bet he's enjoying this. Even my family likes to toy with me to get a rouse out of me. It's like some kind of entertainment.

"Fine," I reluctantly say and Harry raises his hands up in surrender to my tone. I give him an exasperated look and he rushes behind me. Putting his hands on my shoulders, he gently massages the tension away. Mhmmm his hands are like magic. He leads me to the car and opens the passenger door for me. "You're driving?" I'm quite surprised that he can drive in America, let alone a busy city like Chicago.

"Baby, I've driven in New York before, I can handle Chicago." Oh. He's certainly full of surprises. Baby. I can get used to that. It sounds so much hotter than sweetie and honey. The sound of The Beatles "Ain't She Sweet" pulls me out of my thoughts.

" I love this song!" I blurt out. Grr, filter, Willow! You can't just say everything on your mind. - Well duh! I would be turning scarlet red from embarrassment if that happened. I argue with myself.

"Good, because we'll be listening to The Beatles for the whole ride." He flashes me his genuinely happy smile that I've grown to love lately. After his sarcastically sweet smile for so long has made this smile so much better. I know that he knows I'm not his girlfriend yet, but I think he's happy that he knows that I'm done with Andrew and he's worked his way to my heart. Hell we haven't actually told each other that we have feelings for each other. We've been communicating that message through our actions. I hope today we can actually discuss what's going on between us.
