Butterflies (A Harry Styles Love Story) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 24 - Shake it off

WARNING: the end of this chapter gets a little smutty, if you're not comfortable with that, don't read past the dotted lines :)

Dedicated this chapter to LoveHS1D because of her comment on the last part, inspiring Jen's revelation in this chapter that she needs Harry as much as he needs her

Jennifer's POV

That day we spent entirely in bed, cuddling, talking, watching films and, later on, eating a chinese take out, tossing bits of crispy chilli beef into each other's mouths. It seemed like a good idea until I got chilli sauce all over my bed sheets. Upon realising that now both of the sets of bedding were dirtied we gathered up some stuff and headed over to Harry's. 

Harry lived in his mum's house, she too was here from time to time, I hadn't seen all that much of her as she mainly lived at her new partner Robin's house but, on the occasions we'd met I was overwhelmed at her kindness and her genuine nature. Harry never said much to her, I think he finds it hard knowing that for so long he shut everyone, including her, out of his life. 

Harry's car was still parked outside my dorm building from when he left it a couple of days ago, scrambling into the passenger seat, I closed the door just as heavy rain drops pounded down upon the windscreen. Harry wasn't so lucky, watching as the rain hit down on his head I pushed open the door on the driver's side.

"Hurry up you slow ass!" I shouted laughing, Harry laughed loudly, scrambling in and slamming the door shut behind him. He rested his head back on the headrest and let out a deep breath, I watched as tiny droplets of rain water fell fromm his hair and disappeared into the material of the car seat. "You look nice" I said sarcastically holding in a giggle, Harry shot me evils, poking his tongue out of his mouth before leaning over towards me.

"You weren't saying that last night," he smirked, quickly leaning back and turning on the ignition, checking his headlights were on and switching on the windscreen wipers before carefully pulling out of the parking bay.

"Harry!" I exclaimed, covering my face with my hands, I could feel my cheeks burning at his comment and I wasn't sure how to react.

"I'm just saying!" Harry replied shooting me a cheeky look before quickly turning his attention back on the road.

"You're just saying?! My God Harry you are unbelieveable!"

"How so?" he challenged, coming to a stop at red traffic lights. 

"You, you just are!" he could tell I wasn't enjoying this conversation and that only pushed him to tease me further.

"Anyway, I forgot to ask, how are you feeling down there this morning?" he said, doing his best to keep a completely straight face.

"Harry! I am not having this conversation, stop!" I laughedd loudly.

"I'm just asking!" He pressed, flinging his left arm towards me, clutching my hand and bringing to to his mouth, pressing a soft kiss to the back on it before casually resting our entwined hands on the handbreak as he drove down the almost deserted motorway. Not wanting to continue this conversation I used my spare hand to turn on the radio.

I stay out too late

Got nothing in my brain

That's what people say, mmm-mmm

That's what people say, mmm-mmm

I go on too many dates

But I can't make them stay
