I woke up in the middle of the night to noises from Harry's room.
They sounded like gags, so I grabbed a bottle of water and hurried there.
Harry was leaning on the toilet, emptying all the food he ate today.
I held his hair back and rubbed his back in round motions.
He looked over his shoulder and I swear my heart dropped at seeing him pale, sweaty and just not the normal Harry I was used to.
"Water?" I held the bottle up and sat on the edge of the bathtub as Harry leaned on my legs.
He didn't say anything but reached out for the water, I helped him drink the water and then took him back to bed. The fragile boy lay down under the blanket and shivered, causing me to adjust the thermostat in the room.
"There, it's warmer now. Where is the medical box?" I asked and Harry pointed to his cupboard.
I knew medical stuff really well as I am the daughter of a detective and I've been to a lot of trainings.
Once I found the medicine, I gave to Harry.
"Call me if you need anything. I'm just down the hallway okay?" I placed a cold cloth on his now burning forehead before exiting the room.
I couldn't go to sleep knowing Harry is unwell, so I sat on my bed reading a book.
The next morning, I made my way to Harry's room.
"No work for you today. I'll make sure the boys know you aren't going today," I opened the curtains letting some light in at which Harry groaned.
"I have to go do meetings and stuff," he complained as he sat up weakly.
"Not happening. I'm making you soup and maybe we can uh" I looked around the room for some medium of entertainment.
"Play Scrabble!" I clapped and pulled out the board game. At seeing it, Harry scrunched his nose up letting out a laugh.
"Scrabble? I'm a mafia not your everyday boyfriend or family guy," he laughed and I rolled my eyes.
"Mafias deserve some fun or whatever. Now come on, set the board till I make some soup," I put it down on the coffee table in the room.
Harry put on a fluffy robe with a hood before sitting down on the couch.
I made chicken soup with Liam's help and thanked him as I entered Harry's room. With one hand I shut the door and then placed the soup on the table.
"Lets play- oh your hair looks great by the way. Really compliments your eyes, lips, nose and just everything," Harry spoke as I sat down across him.
"Thank you Mr. Styles," I bowed my head and he laughed, wiping his forehead.
He grabbed the soup and started the game.
By the end of the game we were hysterically laughing, holding our stomachs and throwing Scrabble cubes at eachother.
"You idiot! Havana doesn't have double A's!" I laughed leaning back on the couch.
"Hey! I left school early!" he said between his laughs.
"Can't help it now can I?" Harry continued still laughing.
His smile widened as laughs echoed through the room, his deep dimples on display.
I couldn't help but push the Scrabble away and sit on the coffee table in front of him.
Do not make this mistake Athena, no
He stopped laughing and looked at me, tilting his head in confusion.
My hand flew to his forehead and I nodded.
"Still have a bit temperature, on the bed now Harry," I stood up and waiting till he got in bed.
"You are a very confusing woman Athena. I've met a lot of women and you are very different," he shook his head and let out a cough.
"Good to know I'm different," I shrugged and handed him his medicine before leaving the room.
I almost kissed him, I would've made the biggest mistake of all time.
I entered my room and lay on the bed until I heard the door open.
"I'm cold and don't want to be alone," he said, his voice raspy due to the cold.
I sighed and patted my lap at which he lay next to me with his his head resting on my lap. His hair brushed against my thigh while I read my book. My free hand found its way to Harry's head, massaging it and running through his hair. He sighed with relief as his eyes fluttered shut, soon he fell asleep. Soft snores, almost inaudible left his mouth and I took that time to admire his flawless features. His long curls fell on his face, his naturally plump pink lips were slightly afar as snores left them, he had long eyelashes and perfect little nose. I really was falling for him, and if I did fall for him it would hurt bad.
I lifted his head up gently and placed it on the pillow next to me, he whined a little but snuggled the pillow. A chuckle left my mouth as I pulled the covers on him, once I made sure he was comfortable, I left the room. Everyone were working, some working on the security and some threatening people on the phone.
"Hey" I stood next to Liam who looked up from his laptop.
"How is he?"
"Still sick but he'll be fine, don't worry,"
"Great cause we need him,"
"I know, I know"
After talking to him for a while, I went to the kitchen. I had not eaten anything since a long time so I made myself some smoothie and went back to the room. It was really boring in the house, everyone was always working and I was always locked in the room. Harry was still asleep so i quietly filled the bath and enjoyed my smoothie in the bathtub.
I put on sweats once I was done with the bath, Harry would soon wake up so I cooked some soup before going back to the room. He stirred awake and stretched his lanky limbs across the bed. "Hope you had a good nap?" I chuckled and watched him sit up. He nodded and rubbed his eyes, I handed him his soup and played music on the vinyl.
