Put Your Heart On Your Sleeve

Chapter 11

Cristina sighed, staring into his eyes. “Harry, I just…”

“Shhhh,” he said, raising his hand to cover her face, and closed his eyes tight, to make her laugh. She laughed a little, feeling a bit more comfortable. She smiled, staring into his eyes. 

“I wish, I could have taken you away from here. You probably would have been much happier. I see the pain in your eyes that you try to hide so well when you’re here.” he said. He held her hand in both of his on his lap. “You need to get away from here. Live life. Enjoy the time. You’ve been doing things for everyone without anyone asking. Now it’s your time for someone to do something for you.” he continued, “You can stay with me during the tour. You’ll have a fantastic time.” he said.

Cristina looked down. She couldn’t comprehend what he was saying. Her going with Harry for a whole tour? She had only spent one day with Harry and that was months ago and he was still crazy about her. 

“Harry,” she said in a whisper. Her mother walked out of the room so they can have their own privacy. 

“Hey, Karly. Let’s go out and get some McDonald’s.” she said, walking to the kitchen. She grabbed her purse and waited at the front door. Her cousin walked by the room and saw Harry. Her face turned red. 

“Oh my god! You’re Harry Styles! Harry Styles in my family room! I gotta take a picture,” she said as she grabbed her phone. Cristina’s mom walked behind her and grabbed her. “Let’s go.” she said, pulling her towards the front door. 

“Bitch, what is your problem,” she said, as she was being pulled away towards the front door. 

“Cristina,” he whispered as soon as they were alone. Cristina turned back to him and looked at him. “You’ll be much happier. You can finish your school work with us,” he said. 

She looked down and then back at Harry. “What will my mom think of this though,” she asked. 

“You’re almost done with school. You can take your finals now if you want to. Just tell your teachers you have to leave a few weeks early and then you’ll be free with us.” he said. 

She smiled, and placed her hand on Harry’s cheek. “You’re too kind. Kindness that I feel I don’t deserve.” 

Harry put his hand over hers. “Cris, you deserve the greatest happiness you can ever feel.” He pulled her in and held her tight in his arms. He kissed the top of her head. 

They laid down on the couch together, holding each other for the next few hours. Whispering words of what will turn into love. They were so quiet with each other you could just hear soft laughs in the next room.

“Okay, Cristina, what are you doing?” her cousin, Robby, walked into the room. “Ho, woah, smokes, don’t have sex on the couch. We just bought that,” he said sarcastically. 

Cristina laughed and turned red. “Robby, go away.” 

“Oh, I see. You are going to have sex. Look at the way you’re in his arms. Sex!” he yelled out loud. 

Harry and Cristina sat up. “Let’s go get food,” she said, and stood up. She grabbed Harry’s hand to help him up.

“What do you want to eat,” she asked as she grabbed the car keys. Harry grabbed her hand, and placed her hand gently back down on the table. 

“How about I make you some dinner,” he asked, smiling.
