Clouds {Harry Styles A.U}

Chapter 7

Harry's P.O.V

To say I wasn't fucking sweating my balls off is an understatement. It was worse. Way fucking worse. Her expression was worth it though. Ed was right about doing this.

I had called him prior to asking Isabel out and he said I should do something special for her. I had been working on something for a while but Ed helped finish it just late last night. Singing in front of others though was not something I could or wanted to do. But Ed persisted on me performing the song.

Isabel is watching me instensely with every word I sing. The shimmer of her stained cheeks causing my stomach to drop. I didn't think this was very emotional yet here she is, crying. And breathtaking.

"Whenwewere 18"

And with that the song is done. The crowd cheers rather loudly. Isabel has her hand over her mouth to muffle her cries. I hurriedly get off stage to retrieve her hands.

"Harry, why-what was that?" She says between sobs.

I smile at her, "A song of course."

"I know that. I meant the lyrics." Her gaze is set on her trembling hands in mine.

"What about them?"

"You can't possibly love me. It's only been almost a week since we first met. Love is so crazy."

"It sounded better to say 'love' instead of 'like'. Made more sense." I explain. I can't say I love Isabel but I know I like her and the undeniable attraction between us is fucking strong.

"Oh, ha-ha, I guess your right. I don't know why I thought that." She wipes her nose with her sleeve of her cardigan.

"But I do like you. " I continue my smile. Lifting her chin up for her to look at me. She is a goddess.

I'm not currently thinking. My brain is not functioning at all. To think I barely known this girl and already she has me hooked. The hardest part is trying my hardest not to rush things. Granted I did kiss her in her dorm but it felt so right. Going head on into a relationship wouldn't be the brightest idea. I want to take things slow and build it up. It's fucking torture but for her I'll gladly take the pain.

"I like you too." She blushes.

"Let's go on a walk, yeah?"

"Okay." And I slide my fingers in hers and pull her out of the theater. The concert is going to be over anyways. There is this place I want to show her.

"Come on I want to show you something." She nods and follows behind me, hands still together. "This place is secret place. Absolutely no one knows of it. I try to go here everyday to breathe."

We walk about 10 minutes until a jumble of trees goes into view.

"Is this the forest?" She nervously asks.

"Yeah, don't worry you are safe." I grip her hand firmly to reassure her.Our feet crunch upon the broken branches and dried up leaves. The only light is from the moon guiding us down the pathway I take.

A gasp is heard behind me. My lips turn up to showcase a grin.

"Wow." She breathes, taking in her surroundings. In front of us is a small pond with small boulders around it that leads to a cave. The trees hide this magical place giving it the feel of being in a whole new world. "Harry this place is amazing!"

"I know right. Come." We glide to the cave. My stuff is still there after all this time.

"Is this yours?" Her eyebrows quirk up.

"I told you no one knows this place. It's my own personal island. "

Isabel studies the area of the small cave. A few blankets cover the ground along with pillows. Papers scatter the floor as well.

Oh shit my papers. I scurry to pick up the sheets, hiding it from Isabel's view.

"What are those?"

"Um nothing."

"Nothing? Then let me see them." She pushes reaching her arms out.

"No not yet!" I take a few steps back. "I mean I have to finish them first then you cannread them, I promise."

"You and your secrets."

"Yeah yeah." I stuff the sheets into my bag I luckily left here.

"Isabel?" She turns to me. "Would it be wrong of me to ask you to kiss me, again?"

Her smile engulfs her entire face. Hooking her arms behind my neck, I am pulled down to her level. Our lips brushing one another before she whispers, "Never."

Fuck I missed her soft lips.

Enjoy this double (or triple) update. I know it's slow and their relationship is going fast but I have a reason for it. They aren't together yet but they will be soon and after that things will be better. Sorry this chapter probably sucked. I'm typing on my tablet so the typos are endless.

PLEASE VOTE, COMMENT, ETC. I WILL LOVE THAT SO MUCH!!

Merry Christmas (Eve)~ xoxo
