Summer to Remember

Chapter Ten

"Did I say that?" I asked trying to sound innocent.

"Yeah, you did" he replied.

"Anyway! Change of subject, we need to wake up early tomorrow morning since my uncle's leaving." I said changing the topic.

"Yeah, true... You should go sleep then, you look tired" he observed. I ended up staying awake for who knows how long. Harry and I talked about a bunch of things and it turns out he likes cats, just like me! The last time I checked the time was at 4 am, and that was all I remembered because we had both fallen asleep.

"Ella!" I heard a voice say, I slightly opened my eyes to find Harry awake in his balcony. Then I realized that we had both fallen asleep and it was morning.

"Oh my god! What time is it?" I said getting up quickly.

"8 o'clock, we don't have time to change, let's just go down before Paul leaves" he said brushing his fingers through his curls. Let me just say, his curls were naturally perfect, wait... What the hell am I even saying?

"By the way, nice pj's" he smirked.

"Funny joke" I said blushing.

"Honestly" he said smiling cheekily before walking into his room. His last compliment made me smile sheepishly. I rushed over to my vanity and brushed my hair before putting it into a high ponytail. My face didn't have a drop of makeup but I didn't have time to care. Rushing down the stairs, I ran to the kitchen to find my uncle and the boys eating breakfast. I guess my entrance kind of surprised them because they all stopped eating and turned around to look.

"Good morning" I heard someone say from behind me, I turned around to see Harry still in his pj's as well.

"Where you guy's been?" my uncle said with a big grin.

"Oh you know, couldn't wake up" I said as the boys waited for an answer.

"Yeah" Harry added, did I mention he had the sexiest morning voice ever?

"And why might that be?" Niall asked smirking.

"Are we just going to answer questions this morning?" I said sarcastically walking over to the counter and pouring myself a bowl of cereal. "You want some too?" I asked Harry who was grabbing a spoon.

"Yes please" he said, his green eyes were sparkling first thing in the morning. I poured him a bowl of cereal and sat down beside Zayn at the table. It felt like the boys were watching my every move but I continued to eat. I caught Liam looking at me and said "Something wrong Liam?".

"No, no, it's just that I don't like spoons" he admitted as the rest of the boys laughed.

"Wait, why?" I asked with curiosity.

"Just reasons..." Zayn said. It was finally time for my uncle to leave to go to the airport, we insisted on going with him but he preferred if we stay home. He hugged all the boys goodbye and it was my turn,

"I'll miss you" I said as I hugged him tightly burying my face in his shoulder. "I'll miss you too sweetheart" he said his eyes tearing up. I hate saying goodbye to people, I'm too emotional to handle farewells. Seeing his watery eyes, I couldn't help but let a couple tears escape from my eyes.

"You guys better take good care of her" my uncle Paul warned the five boys.

"No worries Paul" Liam said and before we knew it he was in his car and driving away.

Niall put his arms around my shoulder saying "It's ok, you've got us" and to be honest the boys seemed really sad just like me. The boys went inside the house one by one but I just sat on the front stairs of the entrance outside. Deep in thought, I didn't notice when Harry knelt down and sat beside me on the steps.

"Cheer up" he said looking me straight in the eye. I forced a smile in his direction before looking away. He broke the silence after a couple minutes saying "So about your crush..."

"Oh my god Harry, not again!" I snapped back blushing.

"Who's the lucky guy?" he curiously asked.

"Lucky? I wouldn't consider him lucky" I mumbled.

"Any guy would be lucky to have you" he confessed and I could feel my cheeks crimson.

"You're too sweet" I said before resting my head on his shoulder and smiling sheepishly.
