the strawberry dress | harry styles

8: an emotional morning

i awoke the next day confused..then i remembered.

the door opened and harry walked in with my clothes from yesterday. they were washed, dried and ironed. he hummed to himself as he put them on the dresser. he spotted me awake.

"sleep alright?" he asked.
"mhhm" i yawned. he sidled over to me and sat at the edge of the bed as i sat up . my hair was a mess so he moved it out of my face.
"your clothes were a bit muddy from yesterday so i washes them. hope that's alright"
"its fine...thanks"
"of course" his hands held the bottom of my face, his thumbs on my cheek. he leaned forward and kissed my forehead. "ive made you something to eat downstairs. im gonna go make a call"

what wasn't clicking in my brain?
the kisses, the small deeds, the words
harry clearly liked me. i liked him too but i didn't know it yet.

i got out of bed and went to brush my teeth. after that i saw harry had left one of his sweaters on the bed..he remembered that i was always cold. i smiled and put it on along with my black jeans. i brushed down my short hair and washed my face then went to eat.

i heard harry in the living room on the phone, laughing. his laugh was gorgeous. i sat down in the kitchen and began eating the yummy pancakes he had made me. i scrolled through instagram and checked my dms to see barely any of my friends had messaged me. some left me on seen.

i sniffled quietly and left my half eaten food. i heard harry bid farewell and come into the kitchen, smiling. he noticed i hadn't eaten a lot and made his way over to me, on the other side of the kitchen island.

"you okay? you've barely eaten"
"im fine" i replied quietly.
"Love, what's up?" he rested his arms on the table, his tone concerned.
tears spilled down my cheeks, my sleeves covering my mouth.
"noo don't cry! it's okay!" he came round the other side and pulled me into his arms. i started crying properly, inhaling his vanilla scent. its like...i felt safe. he pulled away slightly and wiped my tears gently with his thumbs.

"a lots happened these past few days and i'm just a bit emotional" i sniffled. "and...my so called friends ignored me"
"im sorry about that love" he sighed. "you okay?"
"no...but i'll be fine"
