Chapter 17: Thinking Of Me

Harry's POV-

"Just as I thought you couldn't get any better!" Alexis whispered in my ear, as I rubbed her back. "Sing again best friend! Sing again!" I looked down to see tiny Julia pulling on my pant leg. "Alright, only for my best friend!" I said, picking her up and spinning her around. "Winter time in London are you making plans, are you still rocking converse with your old raybans" Julia's face lit up, "I love Olly Murs!" she screamed throwing her arms up, joining me, her little squeaky voice. "If your sitting in the places where we used to be, or if your somewhere listening to Bob Marley. Then I know that your somewhere, thinking of me!" I smiled to Alexis, "Oh yes you are" I sang out. "Then I know that your somewhere, thinking of me" I took one of Lexi's hands and started to dance with my two favorite girls.

"Julia, go run off and practice, while I make dinner okay?" Alexis said, Julia nodded, and darted to the tiny keyboard plugged in downstairs. "I thought you said she never went down there" I pointed out, wrapping my arms around Lexi's waist. "Only to practice" she said, squirming out of my grip, and gently kissing my lips. I pulled back to smile, and stare into her gorgeous eyes, they were on the blue side today. "What?" Alexis asked, pushing some curls out of my eyes. "Oh nothing, just your eyes are blue today" I said, quickly pecking her lips before she walked away.

"Where are you going?" I whined, trailing behind Alexis. "To get the food I left in the car!" she said, closing the garage door right in front of me. I felt myself frown a little, as I walked back into the kitchen. Alexis walked in holding a bag of taco mix, and I felt my face rise to a smile. "How did you know I love tacos!" I said, snatching the bag out of her hands, and gripping it close to me. "My precious" I said, stroking it, then giving Alexis an awkward look. She bursted out laughing, "beautiful" she said smiling, taking the bag back, and throwing it on the stove. "But seriously, how did you know? Lucky guess?" I said, jumping up and sitting on the small kitchen counter. "Louis" she said, shyly smiling. "Louis, like my Louis?" I said, pointing to myself. "Mhmmm I met him today" she said smiling wide. "Nice" I said, hopping off the counter.

The taco meat sizzling, smelled amazing. I wafted the scent in, then let out a loud sigh. "Wow" I turned around to see Alexis looking dumbstruck, "Louis wasn't kidding. You really do love tacos" she said, sliding into my arms, as we watched the timer tick down. *Beep beep* "Julia" she cried, slipping out of my arms, "Dinner's ready!" In the blink of an eye, Julia was sitting down at the table. "Whoa, someone's a track star!" I said, messing up her little curls, she giggled.

I took a seat next to Alexis, and she shot me a wide eyed look, raising her eyebrows, then she grabbed my hand. "What?" I mouthed to her, and she replied with a smile, okay? "Julia, there's something I need to tell you" she said, her words slow, but slightly stern, as she gripped my hand tighter. Julia tilted her head to the side, "What Mummy?" her little squeaky voice whispered quietly. "Mr. Styles... Harry.... and I are dating" she said, and I smiled to her. Julia's jaw dropped, "OMG! I knew it!" she said, sticking her tongue out, and pointing her finger at Alexis. "What?" I looked over to Alexis, and she shrugged. "Mummy had a crush on you since the first day she saw you!" Julia's gaze darted to me, she was smiling and nodding her head. "But you can't tell anyone, its a secret!" I said, pressing a finger to my lips. Julia nodded, she sealed her lips, and threw away the key. I kissed Lexi's cheek, making her blush a little "Eww" Julia said, hiding her head in her hands. We laughed.

......................

"Well, I guess I'll see you soon" I said, pulling Alexis into a tight hug. "I guess so" I stepped out the door, "Bye Harry" she said, slightly closing the door, her voice was unusually shaky. "What's wrong, babe" I said, popping my head back in the door. She stepped outside to join me on the porch, "I just feel so safe when your around, it seems whenever you leave me, Peter comes back" she said, gripping my hand. I pulled her into another hug, "I'll be back in five" I said, pecking her cheek then ran to my car.

I opened the door to my flat quickly, grabbing a few pairs of clothes, clean boxers, and my toothbrush. I got back into my car, and sped back to Lexi's place. I pulled into my usual spot in the driveway, and saw there was a black car sitting in front of the tree at the end of the driveway. I looked at it for a second, then walked to the door, to see someone there waiting too. "Um, are you looking for Alexis?" I said, pulling out the key I stole from under the mat. "Yeah, and you are?" the man asked. "Harry" I said, shooting him a puzzled look, as I stuck the key in the door. "Peter" he said, that name made my spine tighten. I turned around, "Peter?" I said, he nodded. I cracked the knuckles on my right hand, "You can't hurt Alexis like that" I said, thwoing my fist into his cheek.
