Kiwi // H.S.

Part 17: have you ever been in love?

"Daisy bug...wake up..." I open my eyes to see Harry towering over me. I pull the covers over my face.
"Give me like 10 more minutes."
"That's fine, just letting you know Sarah, Mitch, Kid, Jeffery and I are all going to this studio here to talk to one of the workers about recording here in Japan. You'll be here alone...is that ok?"
"Yes Harry now let me sleep."
He kisses my forehead. And starts to walk away but I catch his hand before he does. He turns around.
"C'mere" I say. He walks back over.
"Can I have a kiss sir." I say in a sassy way. He laughs and leans down to kiss me. He is cold. Like always. But it's a different kind of cold this morning.
"You feel ok?" I ask.
"Ya why would I not be?"
"Your really cold." I laugh.
"I'm fine. See you tonight, we're going to dinner with everyone in the house tonight..."
I nod and he walks out. I drift back to sleep.

I wake up and grab my phone 9:30. Ok. I should get up now. I get up and walk out into the kitchen. And pull the blender from the cupboard. I add in some strawberries, kiwis, milk, ice, and some other things and start blending to make my smoothie.
"Hey!!" I jump moving my finger from the button Which makes it stop lending.
"Oh...sorry daisy...I...I thought I was here alone." It's Ezra.
"Oh god. Me to. You nearly killed me." He laughs.
"Watcha makin." He says walking over and I start blending again.
"Strawberry Kiwi smoothing." I say. It stops stops blending. And I pour it into a cup, there is some left in the jar.
"Want some?" He nods. I pour another cup and we sit in the living room.
"Daisy I have a question for you..." I nod.
"Do you like the fame?" I think.
"no..."
"Why not?" He asks me. His voice is soft and monotone. I shake my head.
"It doesn't really matter..." he says. I hardly know this guy, all I know about him is his name is Ezra, he is 22 and he works with Harry. I know absolutely nothing else.
He takes my hand.
"Yes it does...I...you....you should talk about it...tell me."
"It really doesn't bother me that much..."
"Then tell me." He says. His smile is comforting.
"I don't know...it's just not what I thought...that's all."
"Still don't want to tell me do you...is this whole talking and sharing your secrets kinda a Daisy/Harry thing or..."
"No...I just....Ezra I don't even know your last name."
"Daniel."
"That's not the point...the point is I don't really know you that well..."
"You met Harry approximately a month ago....and you seem to tell him all your secrets."
"What...how do you know that?"
"Because Harry wouldn't stop talking about it the day he met you...you guys met at the music awards...and that was exactly a month ago today."
I've only known Harry for a month?
"Oh...well...I don't know...I guess I just trust Harry....like a lot..." he laughs and gets up putting his cup in the dishwasher.
"Then...earn my trust."
I look at him confused. And he comes and lays down on the floor kicking his feet up onto the coffee table.
"My name is Ezra Lane Daniel, I'm 22 my birthday is November 9th 1997, my favorite color is Blue, my favorite animal is a gecko, my favorite food is strawberries..."
"Wait wait wait...why are you telling me all this."
"To prove you you that I trust you enough..."
"By telling me your birthday, Favorite food and animal?" I say with a laugh in my voice.
"Well it's a start...anyway what I was saying..."
"Oh yes your favorite color."
"No I already said it was blue,"
"Well if you want me to trust you then maybe you should make me food." I joke. He takes it seriously, he gets up and walks into the kitchen.
"Ezra what are you doing."
"Making you food..."
I roll my eyes.
"I was joking, you don't have to do that." He laughs and comes back to the living room.

A couple hours had gone buy and now I was laying on the floor next to Ezra, my head on his shoulder.
"Hey Daisy."
"Yes.."
"Have you ever been in love.."
I smile thinking back to Harry...Harry is the only one I have ever been in love with, I don't even know if that love is real..
"I don't know..."
"Oh so you still don't want to talk to me?"
"No...I just don't know if it's real..."
"Huh?"
"Nothing it's uh...it's stupid..and I don't really want to talk about it anyway.."
"Well...I'm not really sure why you don't want to talk to me, but I'm sure it's not stupid."
I look at my phone it's 3, Harry said he would be 4 and we would leave for dinner, I need to get ready.
"Ezra I'm gonna get ready, you can come hang out with me in my room if you want...Harry and them are supposed to be back at 4 to go to dinner." He nods and gets up with me, we walk back into my room and I pull my makeup bag out, and start doing my makeup.
"What's your favorite color..." he asks me.
"Can I pick just one?"
"I think so...?"
"No, I can't, they are all so beautiful and unique in their own way, I can not just pick one favorite."
"What's your favorite animal?"
"I like geckos to, I have one back at home."
"You do?!" His eyes light up and I smile.
"Ya, he is a leap off Gecko, his name is ringo, he is being taken care of by a friend of Harry's"
"That's so cool!"
I finish my makeup and hair and shoo Ezra out to change.
I pull a strapless dress over my legs, it's white and has a flower design oh the skirt

One of my favorites. I walk out into the living room and sit on the couch. Ezra sits across from me.
"Wow...you look...uh...you look really good." I smile.
"Thanks." I say. The front door opens, it's Harry.
"Daisy?...oh Hi.....Ezra...I forgot you were here. Let's get in the car. Come on." Harry says. Ezra walks out the door and Harry grabs my hand on the way out. Twirling me around like a princess.
"You look beautiful."
"Are you sure it's ok? It's a little short I can go change.."
"No dont...why would you change for me?"
"I don't know it just seems..."
"Sexy.." he says with a smile. I blush. I can feel it,
"I guess...I should go change."
"Please don't, you look Gorgeous." He says giving me another twirl. I smile and he puts his hand at my waist guiding me out the door to the car."

"Kiwi! Want me to top you of?" Ezra shouts from across the table. I shake my head slowly. I feel Harry's cold hand touch my thigh. I look up at him. He hasn't drank anything, I had a little wine. He tucks my hair behind my ear, "you good?"
"Ya I'm fine." 
"Harry! Kiwi! Say Cheese!"
Harry smirks and kisses my cheek right has Ezra goes to take the picture.
"Harry!" I say.
"Your face is just very kissable, I just can't help it!" He jokes. I roll my eyes at him and look back to my food. The waiter comes back.
"Hey can we Uh...can we get the check please."
Harry asks obviously embarrassed of How drunk Ezra is.  The waiter nods and leaves coming back shortly with a black notepad and a pen. Harry does his thing leaves cash and we get up and go. I sit in the passenger, Harry in the Drivers, Ezra, Mitch, Kid in the back. Sarah and Jeffery in a different car. Harry has his hand on my hand the entire drive. And I don't stop him. We pull into the drive way of the house and I get out, Ezra gets out on the same side as me. He grabs my hand.
"Daisy wait!" He say I turn around. His hand moves from my hand to my waist.
"Ezra...what are you doing..."
His hands move down my waist...and down farther...and farther....I'm uncomfortable, way way past that now. My chest feels tight and my eyes start to water.
"Shhhh" Ezra says. I just need to yell. I need to say something, do something.
"Ha..." I start and Ezra covers my mouth. His hands still moving. Thank god Ha was enough for Harry to whip his head around and run over to me.
"Ezra!!" Harry Yells running to me. Tears fall. Ezra looks up and freaks. "Oh god I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Im f*cking sorry." Ezra let's go of me. I fall into Harry's. Arms tears falling down. He doesn't say anything to Ezra. He just takes me into my room.

He wiped my tears as we sit on my bed.
"I bet I can make you feel better." And I look at him confused. He takes his shirt off and hands it to me.
"You can keep it, sleep in it, wear it, something." I take it and walk into the bathroom closing the door behind me. I try to reach the zipper on my dress.  I reach in a whole bunch of different ways. But can't reach it. I open the door again.
"Harry..." he looks up from his phone. I walk out and turn around moving my hair.
"Unzip me please?" I can feel his smile. He unzips my dress so carefully and slowly he walks his fingers up my bare back. I get chills.
I turn around holding my dress up. "Thanks." He nods and I run back into the bathroom.
