The Way Things Work

Chapter Fifty Six

"Oh my God, Harry, it's beautiful." You let your fingers nimbly run over the petite silver chain and down to the sapphire. It was the necklace you saw at the shopping mall. "This cost a fortune." You mumbled when you realized why you didn't but it in the first place. Your smile fell and you closed the box pushing it back towards Harry.

"Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry about the price tag. You are worth every penny my dear." He winked but you still weren't convinced.

"I-I can't take this, Harry. It's too much."

"No it's not. Now there isn't a single was that I'm taking it back, so either you take it or I'm giving it to Louis." He chuckled.

"Well Louis would wear it well, I mean it would really bring out his eyes." You smirked playfully.

"Yeah but it may out shine him, nothing can outshine you. You make this tiny little stone look like perfection when it near you-actually you make everything look more beautiful, even the sun shines a little brighter-"

"Oh shut up and kiss me Styles."

"Gladly."

He quickly pecked you on the lips before opening the box. He tenderly removed the necklace and slid the box to the floor. He placed the necklace around your neck and in order to clasp it he was forced to crouch over you. He went a little further than necessary, leaving your forehead to be caressed by his collar as he fiddled with the clasp from behind. As he took his sweet time you inhaled his cologne and sighed in peace. As soon as you heard a small click, Harry's left hand veered toward your stomach and gently pushed you back and his right hand guided your soft landing on the bed. Your feet were still touching the floor and he propped himself above you with a knee on either side of your body. He proceeded to sit on your tummy as his hands took your own and held them hostage above your head. He smiled cheekily as he rushed his lips to attach to yours. They instantaneously began to move in sync and you felt as though you were in another world. He released his soft grip on your wrists and you immediately responded by wrapping them around his neck and pulling him in closer. A smile spread across his lips, provoking one of your own as the butterflies in your stomach were unleashed. You eventually broke a part and he just sat on top of you and smiled.

"What?"

"Nothing, you just wear that necklace beautifully." He winked.

"Thank you." You smiled as he pecked your lips one last time before removing himself from you. 

"How are you feeling?"

"Better, you make it seem like it's no big deal."

"That's because it isn't! We can sort this out and no matter what I love you."

"Love you too, so?"

"So what?"

"Can we check out twitter?"

"One condition."

"That is?"

"You don't listen to a word they say."

"Harry-"

"Sam." He mocked your tone. "It;s not true!"

"Whatever." You laughed.

"I'm serious! Please, I know it may hurt you but don't take it to heart."

"Okay." You sighed as you both headed back out and sat in the same position as before. "Here we go." You logged on to see that you now had 2.8 million followers. Everyone was following you: Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, ect. They all tweeted for you to not listen and keep your head high. You replied sweetly and smiled, they were amazing people. Now for the interactions. It seemed as if you caused the world to stop rotating. Your mentions kept freezing due to an over load. Harry sat quietly and rubbed your shoulder the entire time. You silently closed the laptop and pushed it aside and looked up at him.

"You okay?" He asked, confused by your lack of emotion.

"Yeah."

"Really?"

"Really. I think I'll just wait a few days before my next freak out." You laughed.

"Sounds good. So I guess golf is out for today so you want to just pick up some food and we can watch a movie? Or talk? That's always fun." He blushed.

"I think so too." You smiled warmly.

"Really?"

"Of course I do! Why wouldn't I?" You smirked, you found his insecurity. 

"i don't know."

"Well let's get food, ditch the movie, talk and re-pack." You smiled as you stood up and grabbed his hand.
