PIPER’S P.O.V.

I didn’t know what to do. Do I confront him or just leave? I really badly wanted to just walk out of the hotel room and find Liam or something. Anyone, really.

What possible reason could there have been a pregnancy test in Harry’s garbage bin?

Especially a reason that he couldn’t tell me about. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and I stood up, putting my pants back on and quickly washing my hands before swinging it open.

“Hey, you okay?”

I didn’t even try to smile; I pushed him out of the way and started to walk out into the living room.

“Piper! What’s wrong?”

Now he had the audacity to pretend he didn’t do anything wrong. I think that was what bothered
be the most. He was obviously hiding something from me and it didn’t even phase him.

“Really, Harry? There’s nothing you need to tell me?”

He looked confused.

“What? No! Piper, please talk to me. I don’t know what’s going on. Honest.”

I didn’t understand how he could lie straight to my face.

“The fucking pregnancy test in your fucking garbage bin!”

He turned bright red and clasped his hand over his mouth. I rolled my eyes and opened the door.

“Piper! It’s-“

“No, don’t talk to me right now.”

I found my purse and started walking to the door, not even bothering with shoes.

“Let me explain!”

He stumbled over his words and I felt tears sting my eyes. I had to leave before I started crying.

“Please don’t follow me right now, Harry. Andy’s here; you have to stay.”

I’m glad he didn’t have a choice. I opened the door and disappeared down the hall, rummaging
through my purse, searching desperately for my phone.

I didn’t try to hold back from crying anymore and I knew I was a little loud. I sunk onto the floor in the hall because I couldn’t even see into my purse anymore through the blur in my eyes. I sniffed and sobbed for a few minutes, not bothering to look for my phone.

“Piper?”

I gasped in shock and wiped under my eyes as I looked up.

“Oh, hey Niall. It’s just you.”

He chuckled and joined me on the floor. He was wearing nothing but a pair of basketball shorts and a hoodie, unzipped halfway down his bare chest.

“Who did you think it was?”

“I don’t know. Someone I don’t know... or Harry.”

He nodded and rested his elbows on his knees, twiddling his thumbs.

“Do you want to talk about it?”

I sniffed and rubbed my eyes.

“Talk about what?”

He rolled his eyes playfully and poked my shoulder.

“The reason why you’re crying.”

I knew what he meant, but I didn’t want to talk about it. Or maybe I did, but I was embarrassed
to tell him.

“Not really. Just... something happened with Harry and I’m not sure if I should trust him or not.”

“Hmm.”

He seemed to be honestly thinking of what was best to say to me.

“Well, without knowing any details, the fact that you’re unsure means that he hasn’t given you reason before to not trust him. Right?”

I nodded my head. Harry had always been honest with me. Or so I thought.

“Okay, and what exactly is telling you not to trust him this time.”

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.

“I’m not sure. I guess he just hid something from me. I didn’t exactly let him explain.”

Niall smiled understandingly and draped his arm over my shoulder.

“Well, the way I see it; you should go talk to him. If he doesn’t have a good excuse for whatever
he was hiding, you know where my room is. I’ll let you cry as much as you want.”

I giggled and wiped away any remaining tears.

“Thanks, Niall.”

He smiled and pulled me into a side hug. He hopped up to his feet and held out an arm to help me up. I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him another hug. As soon as I rested my chin on his shoulder, I saw Harry jogging down the hall.

“Well, here he is. I’ll see you later.”

I spoke softly and he grinned, pulling away and nodding to Harry as he approached before disappearing in his room again.

“Piper, I-“

He was a bit out of breath from searching for me.

“Where’s Andy?”

“Liam’s with her. I called him as soon as you left. She’s still sleeping, though.”

I nodded and Harry leaned against a nearby wall.

“Can we please talk, Piper?”

I stood next to him and crossed my arms.

“Yes.”

He seemed shocked by my compliance, but wasted no time getting excited about it.

“Okay, first of all, the pregnancy test isn’t mine.”

Yeah, I figured as much since he doesn’t have a uterus.

“Well, you know what I mean. I had nothing to do with the reason it was being used.”

I didn’t say anything, but I already felt relieved. I just needed some reason to believe him.
Something to back that story up.

“It was... It was Eleanor’s. She just came to me because I’ve been through all of that before.
She was just really worried about how Louis would react and didn’t want to tell him until she knew for sure. Baby, I’m sorry. Believe me, I would have told you sooner, but it’s obviously really personal and doesn’t involve us. I didn’t even think about it being there and how that must have looked.”

He was rambling now, trying so hard to make sure I realized he did nothing wrong. And he didn’t. I felt stupid for reacting the way I did, but with our being apart so often, him cheating on me was always a fear I buried deep down.

“Harry, it’s alright. I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions. It just kind of scared me. I didn’t know what to think. I know we aren’t together all the time and you’re a freaking super-celebrity, so I can’t help but worry about it a little. You’re just such a good person, Harry and I know you would never hurt me, but I also know I’m not the only one who realizes how great you are.”

He wrapped his arms tightly around my body, pulling me into his chest with my arms pinned at my sides. He kissed the top of my head and left his lips there.

“Piper, I love you so much. You don’t realize what you’ve done for me in the past few months.
Before you were in my life, everything I did was some sort of dream, or fantasy. It felt that way, at least, but when I met you, all of that changed. I wasn’t living in a blur anymore. You showed me that I can trust people again. You’ve proven to me that I’m more than just my job. You’ve drawn me closer to my daughter.”

He pulled away and rested his hands on my shoulders, ensuring that I was looking into his eyes, and how could I not. They were glazed over and I felt the passion in his declamation.

“This crazy life I live, Piper; you make it mean something. You make it real. I hate to think what would have happened had you not slipped your number into my pocket that day.”

I thought of that a lot too.

“You know, I didn’t plan that. It just sort of happened.”

He grinned and pressed his lips to mine softly.

“Oh, once you gave it to me, there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to text you. I
couldn’t even wait a day.”

I smirked and brushed my nose against his.

“Hon, you didn’t even wait a few hours.”

He threw his head back and laughed heartily.

“I’m so glad I didn’t. That night was... wow.”

His tone turned serious. I blushed and gripped his shirt collar in both of my hands, lifting up on my toes to kiss him.

“And what on earth happened that night?”

He tightly wrapped his arms around my legs and picked me up, taking me by surprise. I clutched my purse in my hand and he started walking us back to our room, my legs intertwined behind his waist.

“I think it’ll be more fun to show you.”

I giggled and held his face in my hands, kissing his forehead and cheeks, trying not to obstruct his view of the hallway behind me. I expected him to drop me at the door so we could unlock it and relieve Liam of his babysitting duties, but Harry had something else in mind.
He held me tight and lightly kicked against the door. I laughed as footsteps approached quickly and stopped right in front of us. I jokingly kissed Harry’s lips, immediately slipping my tongue into his mouth and getting lost in his touch. I had only wanted to get a laugh out of Liam as he looked through the peephole, but it’s impossible for me to kiss Harry and not feel something magical, even if I’m just trying to joke around.

The door flung open, but I couldn’t bring myself to pull away. Instead, I tossed my purse inside and wrapped my arms around Harry’s neck tighter, plunging my fingers into his hair with a light whimper.

“Well, that was fast. Erm, Andy is still sleeping and, uhh,” he stepped around us and Harry pushed through the door, “I’ll just see you two tomorrow.”

His final word was cut off by the door shutting in his face, causing Harry and I to laugh together, my forehead resting on his. He made our way to the open bedroom door and didn’t linger as he found the bed, tossing me onto it softly.

He tore his shirt away from his body swiftly and I started to undress as well. I tossed my shirt aside and started at my jeans, but Harry was quicker. He stood at the foot of the bed and pulled from the bottom of my pants until they were laying on the floor with his.

He crawled onto the bed as I scooted back, our bodies finding each other at the top of the mattress, only in our underwear. His arms snaked around my waist and his fingers immediately unhooked my bra clips, pulling the cups away from my chest.

Normally, after being apart so long, we’d probably prefer to have slow, passionate sex, but in that moment, I wanted nothing more than to feel him inside me. I wanted to know that he still felt the same way for me as I did for him. Even though nothing technically happened, the distance is obviously getting into our heads and we needed the reassurance that our relationship was stronger than ever.

“You’re so fucking beautiful. I- I want you so bad, Piper.”

He hissed into my ear as he massaged my breasts, one at a time.

“Harry, I need you now. I’m ready- I-“

I was interrupted by the overwhelming feeling that sprouted from his grinding his hips into mine skillfully. The way his back arched with each movement caused my jaw to fall slack, heavy moans leaving without my regarded notice. Nothing mattered but the way his package jutted out from inside his briefs, creating the perfect friction through my lace panties. I pushed my hips up in uninhibited desire, showing him that I had no more patience for foreplay of any kind.
Harry got the picture and before I knew it, we were both entirely bare, on top of the covers, too enthralled in each other’s embrace to get under them. I spread my legs, steadying my feet on the mattress and leaving enough room for Harry to rest between my knees. I felt his erection against my thigh as he hovered over me, his lips pressed loosely on mine. The sound of our erratic breathing was the only noise filling the room until Harry reached between our bodies and guided his length to my entrance. Then, the moaning added to the air flow and created the perfect soundtrack to our evening.

I forced my muscles to relax after the quick intrusion and focused on every small feeling Harry’s thrusts sparked within me. He pulled back over and over and continued drilling into me relentlessly. It felt incredible to be intimate once again, not simply getting each other off through the telephone or dirty messages like when we were apart. I lifted my head off of the pillows and met my mouth with his again, unable to keep a tactful kiss going while our bodies moved together quickly and sporadically.

Then, Harry slowed his hips, making the straight thrusting motions turn into a more fluid, rolling movement. I gasped at the depth he gained after pulling my legs up and apart more. His skin glistened as he leaned down, finally able to kiss me properly with his more passionate flow.

“Harry, oh god, yes-“

I moaned and whimpered against his parted lips as he quickened the pace again, keeping the rolling pattern as opposed to the sharp, harsh thrusts.

“I’m going to- so close, baby.”

His words escaped as muffled mumbling, but I knew what he was getting at because I was meeting my climax as well.

“L-Love you, Harry!”

He buried his face in the crook of my neck, leaving harsh, uncontrolled love bites in the wake of his lips. After a few more deep, pin-pointed drives, my walls tightened around him in waves of pleasure as I came, loudly muttering words that I couldn’t even comprehend. Harry followed suit, and I forced my eyes open to watch his face contort in ecstasy. His eyes shut tightly and he bared his teeth, gritting them together in an attempt to not scream too boisterously as he released deep into me. His face relaxed and his eyes rolled around as he opened them.
Harry pulled out slowly and collapsed on the bed next to me, his hair sticking to his forehead in curly patches.

“I love you too, Piper.”

His late response caused me to giggle since he was too wrapped up in our actions to answer me before. We both finally found our typical breathing patterns and crawled under the covers. Harry pulled me close to him and I laid on his chest, tracing outlines of random shapes along his abdomen in the dark.

“I’m sorry for over-reacting, Harry.”

He kissed my forehead and I could feel his grin.

“I’m sorry for scaring you like that.”

I sat up enough to peck his lips, but couldn’t find enough strength to stay there. Instead, I fell back into his protective arms and quickly fell into a deep, soothing slumber.
