Chapter 21

Alyssa's POV

I woke up the next morning to an empty house.

"Mom? Dad? Anyone home?" I asked, walking down the stairs. The house was still, with a slight noise of my dogs snoring. I saw a note taped onto the counter. The note had said;

"Dear Alyssa,

 We've left a few chores for you to do while we're away. Don't worry, we didn't give you too much to do. Here they are. Please vacuum and wash the floors, do the dishes, do your laundry, dust the family room, and give the dogs baths. Thanks sweetie.

 Love, mom and dad."

I sighed. Why must they make me do this stuff? I ate a small breakfast and quickly showered. When I got out I could barely find something to wear, searching through a closet only filled with hangers. I rummaged through my drawers, only finding my sports bra and volleyball spandex shorts. Great. Well, at least no one will be here. It'll just be me. I threw my hair into a bun, got changed, and went to work right away so that I had time for myself. Quickly grabbing my phone, I plugged it into my stereo and turned on Pandora. I started with the dishes. It took me about fifteen minutes of washing, and only five for drying and putting away. Next, was vacuuming. I did every room, then grabbing the mop, bucket and soap. By this time, only one good some came on Pandora and I almost screamed. "As Long As You Love Me" By justin Bieber came on and I started dancing and fooling around as I mopped the floor.

Harry's POV

It hasn't been long since I've seen Alyssa, and I already miss her terribly. The boys told me I was talking about her in my sleep, both on the drive home and when we crashed on the couch.

"I'm going to Alyssa's, maybe stay there for a few days. I still need to tell her about the surprise." I said to the lads, packing a small bag of clothes.

"You sure?" Niall said, rubbing his eyes.

"Yes, I love her." I blurted out.

"Awh, our widdle Hazza's in love!" Lou said, nudging me. I blushed a bright scarlet. The lads laughed. Just then, Paul walked in.

"Harry, where are you going?" He asked, looking slightly confused.

"Could I stay at Alyssa's for a few days? We don't have any rehearsals, concerts or interviews!" I asked.

"I guess so. But listen, no getting her pregnant, yet." He said. The lads and I looked at him weird, bursting out laughing.

"What do you mean by, yet?" Zayn said, between his few laughs.

"What I meant was, wait a little while please. I like Alyssa. She's the first girlfriend since you've become famous who's made you even happier. She doesn't focus on your money or your hair, she focuses on your personality, your voice, how you treat her." He said. I smiled. It was true though. I'd try to buy her something and she'd refuse to take it. She'd say I was "wasting my money away."

"Thank you, Paul." I said, hugging him.

"Okay, now please let me go." He said, between my grip. I did as told and went to finish packing. I threw on some sweatpants, my purple Jack Wills jumper, and a beanie. I grabbed my bag and walked downstairs, saying a goodbye to the lads.

"Is Alyssa going to question the beanie?" Lou asked. I thought about it and shook my head.

"No, she's not the type to think like that. Well, she is, but she's understand I was just tired and that I have bed head." I said, putting some shoes on. They all nodded and agreed. Grabbing my keys and bag, I left the hotel and head over to Alyssa's. When I arrived, her house was being blasted with music. I guess she was home alone? I should sneak up on her. I walked up the front walk way to the front door, stopping at one of the windows. She was singing and dancing to 'As Long As You Love Me' by Justin Bieber. I smiled, then realized that she was mopping the floor. She was dancing with the mop, I chuckled. She was a really good dancer. Suddenly she had slipped, I quietly snuck into the house, since the front door was unlocked. I walked into a foyer and tried to find the kitchen. I took a few more steps and was standing in an entry way to the kitchen. She looked up at me, and her jaw dropped.
