THANK YOU FOR 130k ITS UNBELIEVABLE. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

"Go to bed. I will see you in the morning." He tells me. This is always said.

"I don't appreciate your tone, Styles." I quip. "Seemed a bit cold shoulder to the naked eye."

"My apologies." He adjusts himself. The lapels to his suit jacket are straighter now. Coming to know Harry, you would never expect him to look any better. But it truly is the little things men do that appealing to the eyes. "Goodnight. Sweet dreams, Adelaide."

Whenever we get home from an event, or from an evening out, he always salutes me goodnight with a warm goodnight.

It started one of the first nights I had stayed here.

He's wearing a black pea coat. He looks infallible. "Are you hungry for dinner?"

"Yes. Where are we going?" I ask. I'm sure it's a pompy place I couldn't afford. I don't fight him for the bill anymore. We go out almost every night he's home.

"It is called Lights. A place I am unsure of. I have never been. Though I have read reviews on their excellent selection of wine." Of course he would read reviews before attending. I roll my eyes. "We will be meeting a business acquaintance of mine. He will be accompanied by his partner."

"Oh?" I'm not interested in some gold digging bitch, and her sugar daddy. This will be the second time he has taken me out to a business dinner.

"She is around your age. It seemed fitting. You would accompany me." He's so sure that I will like her. I'm not saying I won't. But any women with someone with almost as much money as Styles will, by studies, show that she's in it for the money. The numbers show it.

I was wrong. Boy was I wrong. In walked a gorgeous blonde. It was a tint of purple. Similar to Lou's.

She was entertaining. Had simple etiquette, and manners, but she was loud, and over the top. She was a stunner. We had exchanged numbers, and promised to finish our conversation on the new handbags this season.

"Good night?" Harry asks.

"Yeah, it was good. I really like Perrie. She's nice." I smile sleepily.

"Tired, little one?" He smiles at me, and puts his hand on my thigh.

"Yeah," I cuddle into his touch.

"Do not do that." He says. His eyebrows furrow.

"What?" I'm confused. What did I do now?

"Don't nuzzle me. Or whatever you are doing."

He's snubbing me. I'm very confused as to why.

I yawn. "Go to sleep. I will see you when we arrive."

He ended up apologizing that night. Telling me how sorry he was. He doesn't like touching. It makes him feel uncomfortable. I tried to understand. But I let it go instead

"I'm sorry, love." The pet name used not only made me forgive him, but had the ability to bring me to my knees.

"It's alright." I nod. I expect him to leave, so I nuzzle into my thousand something thread count pillow, and prepare to drift into oblivion.

He shifts on my bed. "Would you like me to join you?" He seems uncomfortable.

But I selfishly condone his apologetic gesture.

And that night he cuddled me. I was in awe as he removed his suit jacket, dress shoes, and tie one by one. I watched his every move.

"Okay. Goodnight." I reciprocate again. He smiles at me. I smile too, at the flashback. He waves me off before exiting to his own bedroom. He's been sweet these last few days. When he's around that is. He corrects himself when being foul.

He's usually gone off to meetings. Or some lunch with another business man.

"Harry!" He turns around.

"You still never answered my question, Mr. Styles." My hands are on his chest. He peers down at me.

"You are drunk Adelaide."

"I'm more than sobered up, Harry. Just answer the damn question." My eyebrows are furrowed at him, and I'm not pleased. My hands fall from his chest.

When he begins walking down the hallway towards the bedrooms, I follow.

"Right now is not the right time." He lamely explains.

"That's some excuse. But I think you should reevaluate. It's been used one too many times."

He stops walking. He turns around so fast, my breath catches in my throat. "Why do you want this kiss so damn bad?"

"Because I want you Harry. I don't know why but I think you're fucking incredible. You're an asshole, but somehow I find you so intriguing. I can't get you out of my head. I should have stayed away. But I didn't. And now I'm here."
