I squeal with joy as I finish the letter. I really did it! Mia was right, and I should call and thank her. She deserves to be the first one to know, since she told me about this in the first place. I pick up my phone and dial her number.

"Ember, hey! What's up?"

I read her the letter.

"Oh, my, god. I knew it! I told you that you'd get it!" She exclaims.

"I know, you were right. God, I'm so exited. This is such a big opritunity for me, M! This could be the thing that gets me my dream job." I tell her.

She laughs. "I know, I'm so happy for you!" Mia tells me.

"I love you, Mia. Thank you so much for this." I could not thank her enough, honestly.

"Oh please, it was all you, Ember. You earned this. I mean, now I understand why you actually did you homework in high school."

"Maybe I could have gone to a few more parties..." I say.

"You think? Hey- are you gonna call Harry and tell him?" She asks.

Things between Harry and I have been amazing the past two weeks. I haven't been in an actual relationship since high school, and that was dreadful. But somehow I feel like he's hiding something from me, because he seems to not want to talk about his life at all. But that could just be me being paranoid, so I don't worry about it.

"Yeah, of course. I might go and see him in a few, so I'll talk to him then." I tell Mia.

"Well I'm so happy for you, and thanks for calling me right away. I have to now now, I'm hopping into cab." She says, the connection breaking a bit.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye!" I hang up the phone, not hearing what she says next.

I decide to go and surprise Harry with my good news at work. He works in a library, mostly stacking books and organising shelves and helping people find things, so he's usually available if I need him. I get in my car and drive there, unable to contain my excitement. I wonder what he'll say when I tell him, although I know he'll be really proud of me.

I park in the lot and get out of my car, locking the doors behind me before I enter the library.
I walk in towards the back where Harry usually is and automatically see him turned around, returning books to their right shelves. I go behind him and wrap my arms around his strong, muscular torso and stand on my toes in order to kiss him on the neck. Harry lets out a moan and turns around to kiss me on the lips.

"What a wonderful surprise." He says in that British accent of his.

"I came baring amazing news." I say, unable to keep the smile off of my face.

"I love good news."

"Harry, I got the internship!"

Harry's eyes light up and without a word, he swoops me up off the group and spins me around while embracing me in a passionate kiss. Neither of us even gave a shit that we were in the middle of a library because in that moment, the world disappeared and it was only the two of us in our own little fantasy; a space just for us in between earth and heaven.

Harry's shift ended shortly, so I decided to wait for him to get off so that we could hang out for the rest of the night. I found a book that looked particularly intriguing and brought it back to a chair that gave me a direct view of Harry's correct workplace. I sat down and threw my legs over the arm of the chair for maximum comfort and began reading. Or rather, tried, that is. I looked over my book at Harry, who was standing on the tips of his toes to stack some high up books. His shirt rose up above the rim of his pants, revealing a large strip of tan skin. I couldn't help but think about how my hands would feel right there. Of maybe my tongue; I could just lick all the way around, taste his warm skin on my tongue.. God, his body is so hot I swear you could just melt ice cream on it. Hmmm, maybe I'll try that with him sometime...

"Take a picture, it will last longer." A raspy voice spoke up.

I was so preoccupied in my thoughts that I hadn't even noticed Harry had turned around and was now staring at me staring at him. His intense stare was so intense, his jade orbs narrowing in my direction, causing a blush to creep onto my cheeks. My uncomfortable state made Harry smirk as he turned always and stacked the last couple,of books up on the shelves before him, then pushed his now empty cart into an employees only room.

"C'mon." He said, motioning for me to follow him out.

Harry took off his name tag and dropped it off at the front desk to let his boss know that his shift was over and he was heading home. A couple of people said goodbye and Harry saluted them goodbye before draping an arm around my shoulders and walking out of the building.
We decided to take separate cars over to my place so that we didn't have to drive back later to pick up one of our cars. Harry arrived at my apartment first, so he stood in the parking lot leaning his back against the side of his Range Rover, his long slender legs and his muscly arms both crossed. He smirked as he watched me park and approach him.

"Feels like I've been waiting here for ages." He groans sarcastically.

"Shut it, Styles." I joke. "Lets go up."

Harry and I decided to lay on my bed together and watch movies on my laptop for the rest of the evening. We ate Ben & Jerry's Red Velvet ice cream, too; my favourite. First we put on Love Actually per Harry's request, and next we planned on watching Nightmare on Elm Street. About halfway through the movie, Harry started getting fidgety, not being able to lie still and constantly rearranging blankets and what not. Finally I became his new interest, as he kept playing with stray strands on my wild hair and watching me more than the computer screen. He flipped himself over to lay on his front and moved all my hair to one side of my head in order to kiss my neck. First his lips grazed over my newly exposed skin, sending goosebumps down throughout the rest of my body, despite all the blankets and the heater keeping us warm. His teeth skimmed over my neck before lightly kissing it again, and again, and again. He unexpectedly bit down on the skin, a small surprised gasp escaping my lips. My eyelids started to flutter, my body relaxing under Harry's touch. He became more aggressive, pain becoming more apparent in my neck. I knew that we was going to leave a mark. I let him. My breathing sped up and I grabbed hold of the belt loops on Harry's jeans to stead myself. He used one of his hands to explore my body, starting at my shoulder, down to the curve of my middle, until his hand gripped my inner thigh, making me gasp and my eyes fly open. Harry began to try and unbutton my shorts, but I quickly put my hand over his and stopped him.

"Harry- no. Not now. Not yet." I stop him.

He lets out a low, frustrated groan and flips back over to his back and resumes watching the movie. I know I want to, and I know Harry wants to, but I'm just not sure if I'm ready yet. And when I am, I want it to be special, no matter how cliché that sounds. After all, I am a virgin, and I would more than willing to give myself to Harry. I want us to be together longer, though, so I can be sure that I'm giving my virginity to a a guy that I might actually want to have a complete future with, and who also wants the same things.

A raspy voice speeks up from beside me:

"I just can't help myself around you."

Notes

As you might have noticed by now, I always update at night. I don't know why, it usually just works out that way for me. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
