Lost in The City // H.S.

Chapter 27

A/N: I don't think you guys are ready for this chapter! Hehe

When Harry and I make it back home everyone else is just waking up for the day. Harry heads upstairs to change for our day in the city. When I spot Noah alone in the living room I tell Harry I will meet him up stairs in a minute.

I walk into the living room causing Noah to look up at me from his spot on the couch.

"Hey," I smile at him taking a seat across from him.

"Are you going to tell me what's going on with you and Harry?" He blurts out, shocking me with his bold question.

"What do you mean?" I question, not knowing where this is suddenly coming from.

"Come on Anna, I see the way you guys look at each other. I have never seen you the way you are with him." Noah continues as I search my brain trying to find a response.

"How am I with him?" I question not sure what he means by that statement.

"Comfortable. It's like you guys read each other and react to one another. Are you really only friends?" He asks softly raising his eyebrows at me with a smirk on his face.

I am comfortable with Harry. More than I probably am with anyone else. Even Piper and Steph. It happened slowly and then all at once. He just seems to read me so easily now that I don't even have to think when I am around him.

"It's complicated," I sigh looking down at my hands.

"What's so complicated?" He asks staring at me intently. I never thought I would be here talking with him about Harry.

"Harry has been through things and I-" I stop trying to figure out how I would explain the way I want him and the reason I don't allow myself to have him. "Well I don't know how to explain it. It's just not as easy as saying we have feelings for one another. It's not that simple," I try to explain to him without much luck because I can barely figure it out myself.

"Well if I had someone who looked at me the way you guys look at each other. I would do my best to figure it out," he says truthfully.

I look up at him and I know my face gives away the conflict I have been feeling when he whispers, "Come here." Letting the topic go and opening his arms motioning me towards him.

I sigh and lean into his embrace enjoying the comfort his presence has always brought me. It's not the same as when Harry holds me, that gives me a completely different feeling. Almost like Harry's arms are the safest and most comforting place in the world. But with Noah he may be my little brother but his presence has always brought a sense of security to me. Steph and him have always been the most constant thing in my life.

"I missed you, you know?" I say with a small smile.

"Yeah yeah I missed you too," he chuckles running his hand over my hair gently.

My mother comes out of her room then breaking our sweet moment and asking us what we would like for breakfast.

We head into the city shortly after that. My family has a tradition where the day before Christmas Eve we have dinner in the city. We also get hot chocolate and see the tree and ice skate at Rockefeller. Steph and Jacob will meet us there and then spend the next two nights with us here at my parents for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
