Cait's POV.
My house in Budapest, My, my hidden treasure chest,
Golden grand piano, My beautiful Castillo..
I woke up slowly to the quiet song playing.
"You, ooh. You, ooh. I'd leave it all." Harry sang walking in from the bathroom, towel around his waist as he brushed his teeth.
"Morning." I groan, rubbing my eyes.
Harry disappeared into the bathroom where I heard him spit.
He walked back in still with a towel around his waist. "Morning gorgeous." He leans down and kisses my forehead.
"How come you're up and getting ready?" I yawn.
"I've actually been to the gym, just got back."
I nod, he'd done that a couple times whilst being here. "What are we doing today? We only have 2 days left." I pout.
It was true, we were on our fifth day here, 2 days we'll be flying to LA. Harry had shown me everywhere in New York.
We'd taken a boat to the Statue of Liberty,been shopping in Macy's and Bloomingdales, visited times square, ate sushi and walked through Central park.
Each activity interrupted by fans.
"We can do whatever you like today. I've made plans for dinner tonight though." He says leaning down to pause the music.
"Okay. Is it okay if I stay in bed?"
"Until tonight? course."
I laugh because we both know I won't actually stay in bed.
"I'm going to go down to order us breakfast, okay?"
I smile reaching over to get my phone. "Okay,"
As Harry left to get breakfast I opened my twitter app.

Instantly I get replies, retweets and favourites.
I exit twitter and text Lottie.
Me: New York is amazing! Loving it, Harry's planned dinner for us tonight. Missing you! Love you 😘xxxxxxx
Lottie: Glad you're enjoying it! HAVE SAFE SEX HAHA. I miss you too, Im staying with Louis and Eleanor, quite boring to be honest. Ly2 xxx
Louis and Eleanor?
Me: What do you mean you're staying with Louis and Eleanor? xx
Lottie: Their place?? xxxx
My heart sank, they've moved in together? He didn't even tell me.. I admit we've hardly spoken. Only to discuss Harry and I but how could he leave such information out.
Me: They've moved in together?
Lottie didn't reply.
When Harry came in through the door his smile was wide. "I ordered basically the entire breakfast menu. It'll be 10 minutes."
"- Louis and Eleanor moved in together?" I ask as he takes off his shoes.
"Uh, yeah."
"When?"
He looks away.
"When?"
"Around 3 weeks ago."
"You didn't think to tell me?"
"Louis.. he told me not to just yet. He wanted to tell you in person."
"So you choose him over me?"
He frowns. "Of course not, I was just being loyal to my friend-"
"What about loyalty to your girlfriend?"
- - - - - - - -
Breakfast was silent.
We were also silent getting ready.
And in the taxi.
"Okay. I'm sick of the silence." Harry exhales taking my hand as we walk through the gates of central park.
"Me too," I sigh. "I'm sorry for overreacting. You were just being a good friend. I'd do the same if it was Gemma."
He leans down to kiss me before we walk slowly, hands swinging.
"Harry??"
We turn to a group of 5 or 6 fans clutching their phones to their chests excitedly. He exhales but plasters a smile on his face before speaking. "Hi guys,"
Our walk through Central Park was nice and calm, 70% of the time the other 30% was taken up by excited crying fans who were not bothered about the fact we were trying to have a nice walk at all.
When he was stopped the final time I left him to it fetching us both a hot chocolate before sitting on a bench nearby, watching him interact.
When he was done he walked over, his hot chocolate only warm now.
"It's not hot anymore," I smile as he sits beside me taking my hand in one hand and his drink in another.
"Thank you babe."
"You okay?" I ask as he sips his drink.
"Dandy,"
I smile at how he says it.
"Good,"
He sighs.
"What's wrong?"
He shakes his head looking foreword at the passing people.
"I wish I could turn it off,"
I frown. "What?"
"The fame,"
I look at his side profile, his beanie covering her forever growing hair, his eyes squinting slightly.
"It's like, I get ready to go out. And I think about what I have to do, what I need to get or where I have to be, and the second I step outside I'm surrounded. I'm still not use to it, the constant reminder that I can't get away no matter how much I want to sometimes."
"I.." I didn't know what to say, the way his voice was so soft, almost breakable. His arm around my shoulder, his thumb absentmindedly stroking slowly.
"I know this is my life. I should appreciate it, cherish what I have." He looks at me. "But I'd love to be normal, just for a day."
I smile sadly.
He leans down and kisses me, it was a sweet kiss. One I'd remember in years to come.
"I love you very much, Harry Styles."
"I love you too, Cait Tomlinson."
