Chapter.10

"Thank you so much Harry, but I'd rather not talk about my crappy parents." I answered when I had somehow managed to calm down.

I didn't know what it was but being in Harry's arms made all of this easier.

He managed to calm me down by just holding me.

It almost felt like... home.

"I'm not gonna push you into talking or anything but if you need someone to talk to, I'm always here." Harry squeezed me a little tighter and I internally rolled my eyes at the irony of the situation.

"I'll keep that in mind but after everything, Harry you are the last person I'll ever involve in my personal matters. No offense." I said to him truthfully.

I wasn't one to beat about the bush or sugarcoat things, so he had to hear the truth.

"Ouch." Was all he said and
stared off into the distance.

After a whole minute of him not talking, I nudged him and he shook his head as if getting out of a trance.

"I understand what you mean but my offer still stands." He said.

"Great." I replied and he smirked but before he could say anything else, his phone rang.

He took it from his pocket and looked at it then he frowned.

"I'll just be a minute, gotta take this." He let go of me and stood up to go and pick up.

When he came back he had an expression that I couldn't quite read, it seemed like he was battling with his inner self or something.

"That was work, I was scheduled to go to LA next week but turns out plans have changed and I have to fly out tomorrow evening." He sat down next to me on the sofa.

"Oh." I didn't know anything else to say so I settled on that.

"I will be gone for a month, maybe more." He added.

I felt a pang in my chest at the fact that I wouldn't be able to see him for a whole month, but I pushed that aside.

I mean, Harry and I were like water and oil. I should be happy about this right?

Only problem is I wasn't, I knew that in some twisted way I was gonna miss him but I wasn't admitting that.

"So what will happen to the week that you have booked me for?" I asked and acted that it didn't bother me that he was going away.

"Consider it my apology for whatever reason you don't wanna talk about your parents. You will have the week off, I mean if I don't show up to hire you then you will have a free day every day." He said and I managed to crack a small smile.

I couldn't believe I will have a week to myself. All I had to do was show up to work and if Harry didn't come for me then I'd just lounge around. Since I wouldn't  have to perform for the week.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"I thought you would try to push the whole arrangement to when you came back." I said and for a moment I was worried that he didn't know that that was possible until he assured me that I had a free week.

"No, not at all." He smiled. "So can I drive you home? I have to get to bed early and you can have tonight to yourself too."

"Thanks H!" I said excitedly.

"So can I drive you?" He cocked an eyebrow.

"I don't know... I mean you are a customer and you aren't supposed to know personal things about me." I stressed.

"Please, I just wanna know where you live. I won't stalk you or anything like that." He pleaded and looked at me with puppy dog eyes.

"Fineeee. But only because you made that cute face." I groaned.

"You think I'm cute?" He smirked and I saw the cocky Harry come back.

"Can we go now?"

He laughed loudly making my heart swell at the sound.

"Yeah, come on love." He said after he'd calmed down from his laughing fit.

We made our way outside and he led me to his car, then he drove me home.

                          ****

Two months later, I was at home napping in the living room.

I had about three hours before I could go to work and I needed to sleep because I hadn't slept enough the previous night.

It had been two months and I hadn't seen or heard from Harry since he drove me home.

I was trying to sleep but I failed to do so.

I could have called Zayn to come over but he was over at Liam's, hanging out and I didn't wanna disturb their time.

Liam had told me that he was gonna ask Zayn out soon but he didn't know how to go about it.

I decided that since I wasn't gonna get any sleep, might as well take a shower in advance and maybe grab a bite before going off.

I went to my bedroom and showered from the ensuit then I put on black ripped skinnies and a black tee.

I then grabbed a jacket and wore a pair of boots for a change.

When I was done, I took my phone, wallet and keys then I opened the door.

I was met with a sight of Harry who had a hand raised as though he was about to knock.

"Hi stranger." He greeted me.

"Hey." I said quietly and looked down, not meeting his eyes.

Why I did that, I would never know.

"I missed you." He said.

I only smiled because I knew that I had missed him too but I wasn't about to let him know that.

"Where have you been? Haven't seen you in ages." I said trying to change the subject a bit.

"I've been in LA like I said, doing the final touches to my upcoming album." He replied. "How are you?"

"I'm very well thank you, how are you?"

"I'm fine, now." He said.

"What do you mean?" I was slightly confused by his answer.

"Oh uh, nevermind. Going somewhere?" He asked awkwardly and I wanted to push but I let him be.

"Yeah, wanna grab something to eat before I go to the club." I said.

"Oh okay, mind if I tag along? I'm kinda hungry." He asked politely.

"Yeah sure, why not?" I answered and locked my door then I led him to the lift.

I hope I'm not gonna regret this.

Hi my sweet creatures.

Things are starting to look up now but that only means more drama on the way😎.

Anyway, do you think Niall will regret going out to eat with Harry?
