She's Not Afraid

Chapter 21


Charlotte's POV:

“Coming?” Harry's deep voice asked. I looked up at him, his eyebrows furrowed and a frown on his lips. I slowly stood up, my face inching closer and closer to his.

“We need to talk.” I said, staring deep into his eyes.

“About?” He said, not blinking once.

"Louis” I said and he flinched.

“There’s nothing I want to talk about that involves him.” he said, barely audible.

“What if It involves Me and 'Him'?" I said, not backing down.

“What do you mean?” Harry said, lifting one of his eyebrows. I heard someone clear their throat, but I kept my eyes locked with Harry's.

"We broke up, I don't know why I'm telling you this, I just think you should know."

His face was unreadable, I had no idea what he was feeling or what he was going to say.

"What about the contract, where are you going to stay?, I mean you could always come to Niall and I's flat, its pretty decent and we have a guest bedroom if you'd like.. I don't think you have much of choice unless you know, you want to stay with Louis that's fine too." Harry's words were all over the place.

I could tell he was flustered by the whole thing, I didn't mean to tell him so abruptly, i just needed to tell someone.

"The contract is still on or whatever, and for where i'm going to stay is with, you and niall, I think Louis just needs some space or something.." I trail off, beginning to get lost in my own thoughts once again.

"I think my car should be here by now, come on." Harry says offering his hand. I lace my fingers with his, my palms sweaty and heart racing, i'm a bit nervous to be in a new country, and what awaits here.

As soon as were off the plane, I immediately feel someplace foreign. The change of scenery is not much different, but its just the feeling in the air is.

He leads me to his car, where a man steps out and hands him his keys. I'm astonished at how fancy it is. "This is your car?!" I ask I could hardly contain the smile creeping from my face. *AN:Its a Audi R8, in case you wanna know. ;).*

"Yep-." He says, "She's a beauty huh?"

I nod, pulling open the passenger door. As we got into the car, silence overflowed the air. We both just sat there. I turned to Harry and smiled.

He gave me a puzzled look before placing a hand on my knee and squeezing it. “ I meant to tell you earlier, I'm sorry about you and Louis.” He said, I swore I could hear a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Bullshit harry and you know it."

"I mean it I really do, I could imagine your pretty upset about it."

"No, No, I'm fine, really."

"Whatever you say, if you wanna talk about it, i'm here." Harry says sympathetically and starts the car, he revs the engine, as we speed off.

"Are we heading back to you and niall's place?"

He shakes his head no, but kept his eyes on the road, but his lips were pulled into a large smile as if he was planning the best thing ever. "I'm bringing you to my favorite place in England."

"At 6 am?"

"Yep."

"Where is it?" I ask, anxious to know where.

"I'm not going to tell you, that would ruin the surprise."

"I don't like surprises" I mumble, slouching into my seat, staring out the window. It's still kind of dark outside, its amazing to think i'm on the other side of the world, its midnight back in Seattle.

The car takes a bunch of turns and loops until we reach a dirt road that looks like it leads into the middle of the woods. Where we drive until we reach the mystery location.

Harry's POV:

"Where is it?" She asks

"A lake."

"I know that," She says giggling "But why here?"

"I used to come here alot, I Liked to sit on the dock and look at the water and up at the sky."

We slowly get out of the car, as Charlotte looks at were we are. She follows me down to the dock and we sit on the edge. I slip off my shoes and she does the same, we both dip our feet in, the water is really cold, but somehow relaxing.

"Its beautiful here." Charlotte say swishing the water with her feet a bit. I smile it feels really nice to be here with her, just us two, its so peaceful. A little too peaceful perhaps...

Charlotte smiles and looks out on the water, "You wanna go in?"

"In the water?"

"Yeah." She says smirking.

"Its December and its freezing!"

"That's the fun of it!" She laughs.

"What about bathing suits?" I ask, its comes out a bit more cheeky than I intended.

"We don't need them, lets just do it."

I suck in my breath and contort my face. "Fine i'll do it."

"Look away," She says as she pulls off her shirt.

"Char I cant believe i'm doing this," I say, as I take off my jeans.

She giggles, her eyes cheerful, "You ready?"

I take a deep breathe, this is probably not a good idea, "Yeah"

"No looking until were in the water!, On the count of 3"

"2."

"1!" We take a running start, as we both scream.

I jump in the air and my body tightens. My body is frozen as I hit the water. I go under and it feels like those few seconds are hours. I come back up and shake my hair getting the cold water out.

"Oh my god." She shrieks.

I laugh and swim over to her "Its s-so c-cold" I say shivering. I clench my fists together to fight the cold. "Lets get out."

Charlotte nods, I jump on the dock and reach down to lift her up. "I just remembered, I have a blanket in my bag. Ill be right back." Char hurries back to the car, grabbing a huge blanket big enough for both of us. I couldn't help but look at her wearing gray lingerie, she's is so beautiful, it brings back the memory of the first night I met her. I bite my lip turning around before she appears envelops us both in this furry warm blanket, we both scoot close.

As we watched the horizon, I felt her hand lightly touch mine, sending a familiar tingling throughout my body. I closed the space and intertwined my fingers with hers. I looked over at her side profile, watching red reach its way to her cheeks. The sunrise kissed her tan skin and long dark hair, making her look like she was glowing. I smiled and she turned her head to look at me.

“Harry..” she softly said, blinking a little fast. I reached out with my free hand and cupped her cheek, grazing my thumb over her soft skin. I slowly leaned down and stopped when our noses touched. She gently nudged my nose with hers, a small smile exposed on her lips.

My eyes fluttered closed and her breath became slow and unsteady as I leaned even closer. I was very tempted to kiss her, but I couldn't bring myself to, I didn't want to upset her. Instead I blinked slowly, whispering into her ear, "I want to kiss you, but we can't...It's too soon."

"But why not?" she said breathlessly, we stay close as I gaze into her brown eyes.

"Because it just wouldn't be right and you know that.."

"I don't care anymore about what Louis thinks, he broke my heart," She shakes her head spacing out for a moment.

I stand up, grasping her hand and taking her up with me. I pull her into a hug, her head was resting on my shoulder. My arms were around my waist. I felt comfortable. She wrapped my arms around me too. I pondered in the thought of Charlotte and I, was this really the beginning of something or just another game?

Oooh, okay. Gotcha! I totally understand now. It makes perfect sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

@Mimi_Bell

First thing, I just loved seeing there was a question :) also to any of those readers out there, feel free to ask and comment away, I'll do my best to respond ASAP :)

Okay first not to spoil things but next chapter is called "A rose to remember" in Louis's POV it'll explain your questions and about what happened over those 2 weeks. and about Charlotte was able to 'go back to Louis after all he did.' And then some. I have a lot more planned for this story, and trust me it'll all make sense in time. ;)

Question. How was Charlotte able to move on so quickly and go back to Louis and even call him her boyfriend again? I mean she had just broken things off with Harry and immediately went back to Louis after all he did.
