A Good Boy in Disguise

30

*Flashback Dream*
The air was warm and smelled like chocolates and popcorn, Santa Monica was great this time of the year. Since I was 8 years old it was my favorite place to come in the summer. My parents use to take me every time school ended but this year I drove by myself for the first and last time before I moved. It was also the first time I went without my parents, it was the first time in my life I didn't have them.

I remember the day like it was yesterday, so vivid in my memory. My parents and I were driving back from a typical night together, movie and then a dinner. It was late tonight and monsoon season so the wind and rain were whipping rabidly around us. I had my seatbelt on and they said it saved my life but it couldn't safe theirs.

"Mom! Dad!"

"No, NO!"

"Cat, wake up!" I felt my body being shaken. I shot up and looked around. Eleanor was next to me with a concerned face. "It was just a dream, it's okay." But it wasn't. My body was damp with a later of sweat. I wasn't in the guest room but Harrys bed. He must've picked me up after knocking me unconscious.

"Where? How did I?" I couldn't form words. Nightmares about that night always shake me up.

"Harry brought you in here a few hours ago, before they left. He left you the code to the garage doors and driveway gate. They'll be back next weekend."

"Harry left?" I was sitting up completely now but still just as confused as when I first woke up.

"They had to go to on a business trip, they didn't tell any of us where. They said the less we know the better and I trust Louis when he says that." Since they're new house wasn't finished being built, Eleanor was going to stay here a few more nights. Even if it was done, I know she wouldn't want to he alone.

I threw the blankets off me and when in the bathroom, I needed to take a shower and call Harry. How is he gonna knock me unconscious and then up and leave for a 'business' trip? What does that even mean? I drew a bath instead of a shower, Harry had this huge bath tub that I bet he's never even used.

I put a couple pumps of body wash in the tub since Harry didn't have bubble bath, I'll definitely need to get some if I'm staying here for almost 2 weeks. I undressed and got into the hot water, it started relaxing my body as I sunk in.

I grabbed my exfoliating scrub and worked it all over my body, then washed my hair. I took a deep breath when under the water. Being underwater is the most peaceful place ok earth, no sounds, your body wrapped in a blanket of refreshing water. I held my breath until my lungs burned, I pulled the drain as I came up for air. Sitting in bath water grosses me out after so I headed into the shower for a quick rinse off.

I put lotion all over my body and headed into hairs room with my hair in a towel, I could walk around Harry's naked without him walking in on me. I mean he's seen me naked at least three times now but it's nice knowing I have privacy. I went to his drawers to find something comfy to sleep in when I saw his one of his hoodies on the bed. I put on some pants, nike socks and the hoodie. It smelled like lightly of cigarettes but mostly like Harry, his scent was intoxicating.

It was almost 11pm now and I was starving. I headed downstairs to find some leftovers, Eleanor had went to the grocery store over the weekend but I was craving some chow mein from yesterday. I pour what was left into a bowl and popped it in the microwave. This was probably a good time to find out where Harry and the boys went.

I click H in my phone and sat on the counter as it rang.

Your call has been forwarded to an auto-

I ended the call without leaving a voice mail. My chow mein was ready to eat and I was ready to lay in Harry's extremely comfortable bed.

Next Morning
