I woke up the next morning wrapped in some clean smelly grey sheets that I immediately recognized as Harry's, he always has clear grey sheets. But then my eyes widened and I realized:




What the hell am I doing in Harry's bed?


I peeked under the sheets and noticed I was using some sweatpants and a shirt. Thank God I was not naked… But still, it didn't mean anything.
I tried to remember the events from last night but everything was a blur, the last thing I remember was me being squished between Eleanor and Danielle in a cab and arriving at some club to continue Louis' party.
Anyways, I guess my headache right now justifies how much I drank last night.
Trying to find my balance I got up and walked downstairs where I immediately spotted Niall spread all over the couch with his mouth open making me giggle slightly and then Harry in the kitchen, his back to me showing his perfect toned back and shoulders and only wearing some random sweatpants similar to mine which made me wonder if the clothes I had on were his. I was positive they were because I would recognize his smell even from the other side of the world.

"Ehm." I cleared my throat.

"Oh you're up." He murmured quietly probably to to disturb Niall on the couch I guess.

"Yeah." I sat on the table still a bit dizzy.

"Want some?" He handed me some tea he was making.

"Thanks." I smiled with my lips. "So everyone's still asleep?" I asked noticing the house was oddly quiet.

"Yeah it was quite a night." He raised his eyebrows sipping on his still fuming tea too.

"How did I end up in your bed?"

"I uh kinda put you there." He said nervously watching my reaction.

"Oh." I nodded.

I saw him still looking for some reaction of his words but I was still absorbing everything. I don't remember the end of the night, I woke up in Harry's bed where he put me in AND I'm with his clothes on.

"Did we uh…"

"No." He shook his head almost instantly not even needing me to finish my sentence. "I just placed you on the bed and went to sleep with Zayn in one of the spare rooms."

"So how did I end up with your clothes?" I asked feeling my stomach eagerly twitching.

"I gave some of my clothes to Dani and she replaced your dress for these." He pointed at my outfit.


"Thank you." I said after a while of silence.

"What for?" He chuckled softly looking up from his tea cup to me.

"For taking care of me when I couldn't." It took him a while to answer as he looked at me with an unreadable expression which seemed to happen a lot lately.

"Sure it was no big deal." He shrugged waving it off.

I was about to answer when my stomach gave one last twitch provoking some reaction I couldn't hold back. So I ran to the nearest bathroom and kneeled in front of the toilet.

"Mia are you… Oh God." He said when he saw me throwing up every single drop I drank last night. "I'm grabbing you something for that". I couldn't even hear him well as I looked at the vomit in front of me causing me to throw up even more.

"Here take this." Harry appeared a few minutes later. I opened my eyes weakly to see him standing there with some advil and a glass of water.

"Thank you." I gladly took it and rested my head in my arms against the toilet lid.

"Are you feeling better?" Before I could answer some more liquid erupted from my mouth forcing me to puke again. "You could have just said no." He spoke kneeling down next to me with a worried expression while holding my hair.

"You should go, it stinks in here." I groaned, my eyes closed.

"Yeah it does." He admitted.

"I'm too tired to fight you back." I groaned.

"Oh come here." He said amused stepping closer to hold me. I was too comfortable to move now so I leaned against him, resting my head on his chest as he rubbed my back comfortingly.
His body was warm while pressed against mine and I tried to ignore the tingles on my back where his hand wandered.
I was so comfortable that I felt my eyelids starting to close slowly but I refused to fall asleep.

"Tell me what happened yesterday." I asked.

"What do you want to know?" He asked looking down allowing me to feel his breath close. Fortunately my eyes were closed so I couldn't see him but I was sure his face was too close.

"How did we come home?"

"Well we were in the club when we decided to call it the night so we called the cabs and went home. Everyone crashed here because as you can imagine no one was in condition to drive anywhere."

"And you were sober?"

"No but I was definitely better than you." He chuckled sightly.

"Why?"

"I don't know I guess I just handled my drinks very well last night."

"Okay. And then?"

"Then we all came home and you were pretty wasted. The girls tried helping but they were not very good either so I carried you up and then El and Louis went to his room, Dani and Liam crashed in one of the spare rooms and as Niall fell in the couch we left him there so I slept with Zayn in the other spare room so you could stay in mine."

"Oh.. I guess that makes sense."

"But you were not easy to put in bed." He confessed.

"I wasn't?" I frowned.

"No, you had too much energy and you kept babbling." Suddenly his words scared me.

"What was I saying?" But he didn't answer. So I opened my eyes and looked up to face him. "Harry what was I saying?"

"I uh couldn't understand very well." He frowned not meeting my eyes.

"Oh okay." I closed my eyes again snuggling better under his big arms.

"And then I lent you some clothes and walked out of the room so Dani could take you off of your clothes."

"I have to thank her later then. What about El?"

"She was almost as bad as you, there's no way she could have helped you. Why did you drink that much anyway?" I refused to tell him that I drank to forget the amount of girls hitting on him during the party.

"I uh just felt like it." I shrugged.

"Did you?" I didn't understand his question.

"What do you mean?" I looked up again to see his eyes already staring at me, our faces too close.

I felt my breathing accelerating as I could hear his heart racing on his chest. We stared at each other for a while not really available to look away.
His eyes wandered from my eyes to my lips as I read his thoughts. He took a piece of hair behind my ear and leaned in closer, our lips inches apart. Butterflies erupted in my stomach as I felt his breathing against my skin.
He leaned in even more, closing his eyes as I did the same.

"It smells like poke in here." We heard from the other side of the door, stepping apart instantly. "Where is th-- Oh…" Louis stopped as he pushed the door open and saw what was going on. Me looking like crap on the floor and Harry by my side with his arms around me in comfort. "What are you two doing here?" He smirked.

"Louis what are--" El appeared on the door frame and an instant smile appeared on her face just like Louis before.

"Mia was not feeling very well." Harry tried to explain.

"I see…" El eyed us both.

"I bet you're feeling better now." Louis continued.

"Oh no w-we were just uh…"

"I was just helping Mia cause she puked." Harry continued my sentence as we stood up rapidly.

"We've been downstairs for a while now. Obviously we didn't know you were here which is odd because you're normally not that quiet!" He winked making blush darkly as he mentioned mine and Harry's sex life.

"First, I'm way better now and second, we were NOT that loud!" I walked past them into the kitchen.

Liam, Zayn and Danielle were already on the kitchen table eating some breakfast.

"Oh you're up already." Dani shot me a nice smile.

"And you look terrible." Liam laughed and Danielle hit him lightly.

"Liam!"

"I was joking." He defended himself rubbing his arm. "I'd never say that for real love." He looked at me.

"I know Liam, it's okay." I smiled softly sitting next to Zayn who had a magazine in his hands.

I was sure my stomach couldn't handle any solid food right now so I drank some orange juice instead.

"What are you reading?" I asked Zayn glancing at the magazine briefly when I recognized my face on it. "What does it say?" I took the magazine from his hands ignoring his glare.

There was a few pictures from last night but the one given more attention was actually of me and Zayn casually holding hands. But the bold letters caused a different point of view as we read:

"Seems like there might be trouble in paradise as Zayn Malik was spotted holding hands with Mia Cortês who you probably recognize as once being Harry Styles' girlfriend who happens to be one of Zayn's best mates. Confused? Well we explain...
Harry and Mia broke up last September but the reason why is still a mystery as none of them said a word after it though some sources claimed Harry messed up little Mia's birthday. Maybe he stole all the attention and she didn't like it.
Just a reminder that Zayn is alleged to be dating Perrie Edwards from the new pop band Little Mix, currently traveling around America.
Maybe they both felt lonely and decided to get over it with some cuddling…
The two of them were seen leaving together in different cabs but probably for the same place.
Almost four months later, Mia seems to be already over the break-up with one of Harry's pals but what does he really think of it?"

I gasped as my eyes couldn't believe what I was reading. So now I was dating Zayn and he was cheating on Perrie.
He was just helping me out to the cab and I'm sure that was pretty visible on the picture but by the speech they put on the side it really makes you wonder what's happening.

"Don't mind them, it's just one more rumor." Zayn tried to smile but I knew him better, he was a bit upset about it too.

"But it's not right. What will Perrie think? Have you spoke to her already?"

"No, time zone." He explained. "She's probably still sleeping."

"You really have to reach her."

"Don't worry about it, she knows I'd never do that let alone with you. These guys are just trying to sell."

"Does Harry know that?"

"I do." He answered my question coming from the bathroom we were in before.

"Oh." I nodded awkwardly as we locked eyes with each other. "Well I should probably get dressed."

"We'll go with you." Dani offers dragging a very hungovered Eleanor along.

"Actually do you mind if I take a shower?" I asked Harry. "I feel really disgusting."

"Humm sure yeah." He said. "You already know the place so…"

He's right I know this house almost as better as my own and I've showered many time in his bathroom before, even with him too...

After a well deserved shower I walked into Harry's room again where El and Dani were casually on the bed as I dressed in some fresh clothes El lent me as she has some outfits in Louis' wardrobe already. (Outfit)


"So what are we doing today?" Dani asked casually flipping through the magazine containing our faces on it.

"Well I need to be at my dad's for diner but till then we have plenty of time." I tugged on El's clothes.

"Or you could just crash here and we'd have more time?" El suggested.

"Sorry girls I really have to sleep at my dad's tonight, tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I also have a plane to catch."

"I thought you were spending Christmas here with your dad." El shrugged.

"No, I did it last year so I'll be spending it with my mum's family back home."

"Now that you talk about it, that was when you and Harry met right?" Dani diverted her eyes from the paper to look at me.

That's when it hit me, me and Harry met a few days after Christmas so it's been almost a year! It passed by so fast that it seemed like yesterday.
It was a weird feeling, how our fist contact was a physical one when we bumped into each other and then our eyes locked allowing me to have a closer look at his perfect green orbs. That was the exact moment I fell in love with him although I refused to admit it for a really long time.
Since that day he never left my thoughts and my life changed forever.

"Yeah it was." I replied softly.

"God he was so starstruck about you." She remembered about it.

"He was?" I asked suddenly interested.

"Yeah and he was so sad because he didn't even know your name or twitter to contact you, he thought he'd never see you again but then… a miracle happened." El explained as Dani nodded in agreement.

I smiled weakly turning to the mirror to brush my hair.


"He misses you." El said casually after a while of silence.

"He was very sweet to me yesterday actually." I admitted.

"Yeah we noticed." Dani winked at me.

"What do you mean?" I turned to her suddenly wide eyed.

"You expressed it very well yesterday night."

"I'm not following."

"Well when he carried you to his room you were extremely drunk and you keep babbling and murmuring stuff." That was not a surprise, Harry had told me that already.

"Yeah but my words were not understandable."

"Oh they were." Dani nodded. "I mean I didn't get a lot of what you were saying but Harry's name was mixed in it." My eyes widened in shock at her statement.

"But he didn't get it right?" I was crossing my fingers for her to nodded in response, but she didn't.

"I'm pretty sure he did cause his eyes would sparkle every time the name 'Harry' would leave your mouth." She grinned at me.

"Oh God." I sat down on the back with my hand in my forehead still processing everything. Harry and I had spoke about it and he say he didn't understand what I was saying. Why would he lie to me?

"You still love him don't you?" El roamed her hand through my curls comfortingly.

"I do not." I snapped my head up to look at her.

"You do but your pride just won't let you admit it."

"Okay weren't we trying to figure what we were doing today?" I asked changing the topic. They both exchange a look before they both sigh and nod at me.

"Let's ask the boys then." El concluded standing up. I followed her not bothering to dry my hair properly.

As we walked downstairs we say Liam and Zayn cleaning the kitchen as Louis and Harry were playing games on the couch and Niall right next to him leaning against it with his eyes closed and his hands intertwined in his lap. I guess he still had a killing headache.

"I thought the owners of the house are the ones supposed to clean and not the guests." I chuckled looking at Zayn and Liam cleaning the dishes from breakfast.

"As if you don't know them." El rolled her eyes.

"So are yo gonna stay here all day in your manly activities or are we doing something together?" Danielle spoke sitting on the end of the stairs.

"I think I speak for everyone when I say we're all pretty tired to leave this house." Louis stated not taking his eyes from the tv.

"You still have energy to move your fingers in that remote." El shot at him.

"I always have energy in my fingers and you know it love." He wiggled his eyebrows smirking at his girlfriend resulting in her face to turn a fair red.

"You're disgusting." I rolled my eyes sitting next to Niall who opened one eyes to look at me as soon as he felt the couch shift.

"Are you okay?" I asked him amused.

"Yeah just a major headache." He replied.

"You're normally the one who always handle drinks better, are you sure it's just a hangover?" I frowned. Niall sighed heavily and sat more properly to face me.

"No, not really." He replied honestly.

"Does hat have anything to do with a certain blondish girl? Because I saw some rumors about you and Sophia… I gotta say I am very proud of myself for introducing you."

"Yeah that's the point, I thought we were going somewhere." He looked sadder.

"What do you mean?"

"Well we started talking and everything was going fine, she's amazing and simple and she appreciates my music…"

"So what went wrong?"

"We kissed a couple weeks ago but she said she's not ready for dealing with everything a relationship with me brings."

"First: OMG you two kissed and you didn't tell me?? Second: If you really like her just show her you're worth all that exposure." A small smile worked his way onto his face hearing my first sentence but it soon faded.

"The thing is I don't think that's the only problem." He admitted facing the ground.

"Then what is it?"

"I'm not sure if I'm ready for it either, I've never had a serious girlfriend since I became famous."

"Well then maybe you two need some time apart to figure if what you fell about each other is real and if it is then you think about announcing it to the world… together." I squeezed his hand slightly making him turn his head to me.

"What if we realize we don't like each other enough for it?"

"IF it happens then you go back to your single life and wait till the right girl crosses paths with you which I believe won't take long cause you are one of the most amazing people I know."

"Thank you." He smiled brightly and that just made my day.

"Of course, you're my Nialler." I kissed his cheek making his smile wider.


I went back to paying attention to the conversation around us as everyone was still deciding what to do with our day.

"Okay movies it is then." I heard Liam say heading to the DVD shelf.

For the rest of the afternoon we spent our time watching movies, all spread around the living room with me and Niall fighting for popcorn every now and then. It was a pretty awesome afternoon anyhow...

"Okay guys this was real fun but I need to go home now otherwise my father will think he only has one daughter now." I informed my friends standing up after the fifth movie.

"Oh no! When will we see you again?" Louis pouted.

"Soon, I promise." I smiled reassuringly. "I need to get my stuff." I quickly walked upstairs to Harry's room in order to collect my stuff.

I still can't get over the memories every time I enter that room.
Sighing I grabbed my bag, putting my dirty clothes inside it and making sure I had everything.
I headed to the bathroom to pee very quickly and fix my hair, removing the bun allowing my blonde hair to fall in waves because of the bun I made earlier with still wet hair.
But surprise took over me when I walked back in the room and saw another figure inside.

"Oh sorry I just came to pick up my phone." Harry informed removing his iPhone from its charger on the bedside table.

"It's okay, I was just leaving anyway." I shrugged smiling softly.

"You're going back home already?"

"No, I'm staying at my Dad's tonight and then I leave tomorrow morning back to Portugal." I informed him.

"Oh." He nodded.

"Why didn't you tell you heard what I said last night while you carried me here?" I asked the questing I was longing to make all day. He looked surprised that I knew about it but but his shoulders relaxed once he figured Danielle must've told me.

"I was not sure if I heard it well but by your question I suppose I did." He watched me carefully.

"Well I was drunk so…" I grabbed my bag and passed through him. I had my hand at the door knob when he spoke.

"Mia stop! Jeez why do you keep doing that?" He raised his voice slightly making me turn around to face him right when he passed his hand through his messy curly obviously frustrated.

"Do what?" I shook my head confused.

"Run away! You're constantly running away from me, please just… stop!" He looked exhausted breathing heavily but still managed to look incredibly sexy with his messy curls on top of his head, his gaze straight into my eyes and his redish lips parted slightly.

"I'm not running away." I whispered.

"You are! God, there's so much I want to tell you and you won't even let me."

"But there's nothing to talk about."

"Yes, Mia, there is and what happened this morning, when we almost kissed just proves I'm right." He took a step closer.

"We didn't kiss." Was all I could say.

"Only because Lou showed up and you know it." He took another step towards me. "Mia, I know you felt it too please don't ignore it."

"You hurt me Harry, I'm sorry but I can't get over it." I hissed at him crossing my arms. He touched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes briefly exhaling frustratedly. After a while he finally spoke.

"Look I know what I did was wrong, I should have remained calm but I just couldn't stay still while that bloke kept saying bullshit."

"Don't talk about Filipe like that." I glared at him getting angry.

"It's true but you don't even let me explain it to you! If you at least listen to what I have to say…"

"I don't need to listen to anything, Filipe already explained to me what happened." I shouted causing me to wince at my own voice, I was still to tired for this, I guess we both were from last night.

"And you think you can rely on him? I was the one who loved you, why would I lie to you or ruin your day when the thing I most wanted was to see you happy huh?" He was yelling at me too now and throwing his arms in the air. I guess he kept it inside him for too long.

"Well I loved you too but I guess my feelings didn't matter did they?" I turned around ready to leave when I felt two strong arms grab me by my waist.

Suddenly I was pinned against a wall and Harry's mouth was roughly pressed against mine.
His hands were strongly holding my waist pressing me against the wall leaving goose bumps where his hands were.
His body was firmly pressed against mine leaving no space for air between us as he tried to obtain some sort of reaction from me.
My eyes were still wide and my mouth shut unable to move as he moved his mouth against mine. I placed my hands on his chest in order to pull him away but my hands were not strong enough, because he was much stronger than me and because I found myself holding his shirt and not pushing away.
Realizing that fact Harry started licking my lower lip forcing me to answer to his actions.

Tired of all the yelling, completely exhausted from the previous night and torn from this messy day I gave up.
Sighing I shut my eyes and started responding by opening my mouth so he immediately slid his tongue inside as he expertly massaged it.
My hands found his curls not long after as I tugged them slightly like I always used to, a moan escaping Harry's mouth when I did. His body pressed impossibly closer as I was squished between him and a wall, but it didn't matter. All I could think about was how our tongues danced together inside my mouth and his lips caressed mine while his hands traveled up and down my back and hips making me feel like I haven't in a while.

"Do you feel it now?" He pressed his forehead against mine so we both could regain our breath.

My body was still aching for him, every single nerve was screaming his name telling me to rape his clothes off and kiss him hard. It was like a magnet pulling me to him. But still I was completely torn and dizzy, memories of Filipe's face covered with blood and then Harry's eyes looking so aggressive towards him. Nothing compared to now, as his eyes shone into mine, his green orbs peacefully looking at me, lovingly, like the ocean. His lips were wet and slightly swollen from the rough kissing but I bet mine looked just the same.
Though I couldn't…

"I should go." I said pushing him away to release myself, but this time he let me do it with a shocking expression and hurt flashing his eyes.
I couldn't take his look anymore so I grabbed my bag and ran out of the room.

"Is everything okay?" Liam asked once I reached them downstairs all looking at me with a confused expression as I panted heavily.

"Yeah I just… I'm in a hurry… I need to go home." I blinked fighting the tears that threatened to fall.

"I can take you home." Zayn immediately stepped forward still worried.

"No it's okay I can call a cab." I shook my head.

"Don't be silly I'll drive you." He protested as I knew I couldn't fight him.

I hugged everyone, taking a while longer with Danielle and Eleanor who whispered comforting words while we hugged together.

"I'll call you." I told them turning to the door.

Right before I could step out I saw Harry on the top of the stars looking at me, his hands turned into fists and his mouth closed in a tiny line almost as if he was biting his lip.
Before I could give it a second thought I diverted my look from his and walked away from the house.

"I'm glad it all went well then." I passed the last dish to my dad to clean as we washed the dishes after our dinner.

"Yeah it was a nice party." I nodded finishing my story about Louis' birthday.

"What about that Harry boy? He was there right?" My father asked carefully.

"He was." I confirmed.

"And how was it?"

"Look dad I'm just really tired today, do you mind finishing it for me?" He must've seen the look in my face because he immediately nodded shooing me away to my bedroom.

"Thank you." I kissed his cheek and walked upstairs to my room.

Although it was only 10 o'clock I was incredibly tired and I had a plane to catch in the morning so I changed into my pajamas and washed my face with cold water before lying under the covers in my bed.



I was pretty sure it was too early in the morning but after I don't know how long I was still wide awake. My body was complaining, longing for some sleep but my head was still a mess, I couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened today as much as I tried to block it.

How I woke up in Harry's bed, how his smelly sheets made my stomach twist, the way he tried to comfort me in the bathroom when I was feeling like shit, the taste of his lips against mine and how our mouth seemed to mach perfectly on one another, the way our bodies fit together and how his hands would instantly mold into my body even after the time we spent apart without touching, feeling or even seeing each other.

My mind wandered through all that and was going deeper if my phone hadn't beeped.
Wondering who could be trying to contact me at this time in the morning I grabbed it but my mouth dropped as I saw Harry's name across it, something my phone was not used to already.
It was 4 a.m. I guess he couldn't sleep either.

From: Harry Styles
I'm sorry I kissed you today, it was very selfish of me and I shouldn't have done it.
Hope you have a nice flight tomorrow
Harry

I looked at his text for a while not knowing what to reply but soon enough I came up with an answer.

From: Miia
A lot happened today I guess I can't blame you for one irrational act. Never mind.

His reply came up instantly.

From: Harry
It wasn't a "irrational act", I kissed you because I wanted to…

I couldn't deal with the right not, it was fucking 4 am and I still had't slept one bit. My brain couldn't process any more today.

From: Miia
It was a mistake Harry, let's just forget about it okay?

This time it took him a while longer to answer but he did it nonetheless.

From: Harry
Okay

That was it, no dots or whatsoever. Just a simple and dry 'okay'.
Well I guess I should have seen that coming.


A few minutes later sleep finally came to me not taking more drama for the day...

Notes

Sorry it took me so long to update but I had a lot going on and also my university application and all BUT I'm quite satisfied about the result of this chapter so I hope it pays off for the waiting! ;)
Also I was a bit sad to see only a few of you gave me some feedback about your characters, I wanted to know your opinion.. :(

Anyways, I know I've been doing a lot of Mia's POV but that's because I wanted to show how they both feel towards each other. Harry was pretty obvious, he's still in love with Mia but she's a bit reticent... Now you know though I have to warn you I do like some twists in the middle of the stories :D
