The Bad Boy

Chapter 35

Harry's P.O.V.

When Stephanie and I pull apart from the kiss, she looks very sad. She goes over to sit on the couch with Ally. When I go over to talk to her, Ally sorta shakes her head.

She mouths, "Ask Niall."

I pull Niall aside into his room.

"What's up with Steph?" I question.

"Her parents kicked her out of her house because she wants to be a writer," He shrugs.

"This is all my fault," I run my hand through my hair, "I inspired the idea when we were in London."

"That her parents should kick her out?"

"No Dipshit, that she should be a writer!"

"Ohhhh."

I start to pace around the room, "I feel like I should do something to make it up to her." I start.

"Not to make it worse but Ally is leaving tomorrow. Her great great uncle passed away and she has to go to Missouri for the funeral."Niallsays, looking at his feet.

"Great." I mutter. "We have to do something to take her mind off of this."

"That's not a bad idea. We could take her to that amusement park....Um what's it called?" He asks.

"The Cove?" I ask.

"Yeah that's the one." He nods. "Plus I've never been."

"Always thinking of yourself Dipshit..." I say. "How rude."

"Sheesh I'm sorry." Niall says, throwing his hands into the air in mock surrender.

"Whatever. I think we should do it though." I say.

"Cool. We'll tell her when Ally leaves so she won't feel bad." Niall says.

"You're to f****** nice." I sigh and open the door.

"And you're too freaking vulgar." Niall fires back as we enter the living room.

Ally must be in the bathroom because she is not on the couch. I go over and take a seat next to Stephanie, wrapping my arms around her.

"Niall told me what happened with your parents." I say into her hair.

"Yeah well. I'm over it." She shrugs and I know she's lying.

"Don't lie to me Steph." I say. "I feel like this is my fault."

"It's not your fault Harry. It's no one's fault. My parents are just ridiculous." She mutters.

"I know but I still feel like it's my fault. I have decided to make it up to you by taking you to the water park with Dipshit, since Ally has to leave tomorrow." I respond.

She turns and smiles at me, her eyes shining. "Yeah?"

"Yeah." I say and peck her lips.

She smiles again. "I'm excited. I haven't been there since I was fourteen. Is Dipshit really coming?"

"It was his idea actually." I tell her.

"Yeah well..."She says. "I know you wouldn't be so thoughtful."

"Oh shut up." I say and pretend to pull her hair.

"I love you." She says and kisses me.

***************************************

Stephanie and I spend the rest of the night on the couch watching movies with Ally and Niall. Niall decides to drive Ally back to her house, probably so they can make out on the front porch. Stephanie takes some of my clothes (Some MORE of them) and goes into the bathroom for an hour and a half long shower. By the time she gets out, I have locked the front door, turned off the lights for the night, and grabbed my laptop.

When she finally emerges from the bathroom in a cloud of steam, I am lying back on the bed, reading something on my laptop.

"Hey, sorry I took so long, that shower just felt really good." She sighs, rubbing her wet hair with a towel that she then throws into the bathroom.

"It's okay. You'll only owe like four hundred dollars in hot water." I tell her.

She smiles a bit as she grabs her laptop and crawls under the covers next to me. She smells like my axe body wash which makes me smile to myself.

"You're body wash smells good." She says, not turning her eyes away from her own laptop.

"So only it smells good?" I ask.

"If I could bottle your scent and, like, bathe in it and drink it then I would." She says.

I smile a little bit. She is too much.

"I am to tired to do this. I have got to get some sleep." She says and closes her laptop decisevly.

"Me too." I say and close mine, sliding it onto the floor.

I slide down under the covers next to her, pulling her against me.

"I love you." She says and then yawns as I turn out the light.

"I love you too." I say.

I don't think I've been so...I don't know. Content? Comfortable? All too girly words. All I know is that I love Stephanie and I'll do everthing I can do to be with her.
