Clarity

The rest of the day me, and Harry had done absolutely nothing. We went home, and completed my promise to him of snuggling on the couch in our pj's while watching movies, drinking hot choclate, and eating left over pizza.
It had been with out a doubt one of the most peaceful day's we've have for awhile. I did consider going to school that, both of us did, but Harry said there was no point since the sub was already there, and we had a big trip.
Somewhere near the end of the day I must've fallen asleep while cuddling Harry, because I woke up to him carrying me upstairs, and we ended up having an hour long conversation before falling asleep on his made bed.
The next morning I woke up to Ireland whining, and trying to jump on the bed to cuddle, and I could help but smile as I sat up still being half asleep.
"Puppy boy.." I sighed, reaching over to the side of the bed, and picking him up before laying back down, and cuddling him to my chest as I let my eyes flutter shut in hopes of going back to sleep.
Yet that wasn't meant to be, because Ireland kept licking, and nipping at my face while whining for attention. "Ireland..stop.." I groaned, pushing him down gently, but he only proceeded to play with my fingers while laying stretched out on his stomach.
For a bit I did try to just deal with it, because I was tired, and desparately wanted to go back to sleep, but finally Ireland won out, and I sat up on my elbows as I gave him the look that meant 'your cute, but I'm not amused'.
He only gave me an innocent one in return though as he rolled over on his back, and I couldn't help but smile at him as I rubbed his tummy.
I did notice by that point Harry was absent from the bed meaning either he was in one of his creativity rooms, or he went to work which I highly doubted.
I also noticed that on the end table next to the side of the bed I was sleeping on there was a breakfest tray that had fried eggs, and two pieces of toast with a shot glass filled with orange juice.
"Goof." I muttered, shaking my head at Harry as I reached forward to grab the tray, then noticed the folded up piece of paper on it, at that I grinned as I grabbed it, and opened it.
'Good morning handsome! I love you sooooooo much! I made you breakfest and also left some pizza for you in the fridge, you know the pie you told me not to eat last night :( in case your wondering where I am, I'm in the art room! ;) -Your Sexy Fiance xXXx'
After I had read the last part where he signed his name, sorta, I couldn't help but feel my heart flutter. I think it was going to take awhile to process the fact Harry was no longer my boyfriend, but my fiance, and we were to be married.
The thought was so overwhelming, and emotional I actually couldn't think about it right now for fear I'd have a heart attack from happiness. Folding the note back up, I sat up straighter so I could balance my tray in my lap, prior to turning to Ireland who was looking at it curiously.
''I'm gonna teach you how to share food." I informed, leaning down to kiss his head before dividing the food onto two plates, one for me, one for Ireland, and I put his plate on my bed so he could have easy access while I dug in.
It was incrediably sweet of Harry to make me breakfest every morning, even though he really didn't have to. I felt spoiled rotten by him, and I wasn't sure if I loved it or hated it.
With in five minutes I dare say, me, and Ireland had finished the food, and I had gulped down the orange juice in the shot glass prior to slipping off the bed, and walking over to the dresser where I had put a few of my clothes last night.
Quickly I pulled out a pair of Harry's black skinny jeans, a white tank top, and a denim button up to pull it over so I wouldn't freeze to death. Once I was dressed, and had brushed my hair I grabbed Ireland off the bed.
"C'mon baby boy, lets go find Harry." I cooed, craddling him in my arms as I walked out of the room. If Harry was in the house I could only assume he was either downstairs with the girls, or upstairs in one of his rooms.
Humming softly I put Ireland down before sticking my head in the music room, and all of the bathroom's.
Once I had seen he wasn't anywhere to be found upstairs, well at least where I was looking, I decided to pick Ireland back up, and walk downstairs in persuit of my curly haired love.
I hated it when Harry wasn't around me, it was unbearable, and I felt like I couldn't breath properly. My skin forever would crave his touch, as would my always swollen lips. He was a bad addiction.
"Harry?" I called out upon walking down the steep stairs, and once I made it to the bottom I put Ireland down before cupping my hands to my mouth.
"Harold Edward Styles!" I shouted, then nearly a moment afterwards, as I moved my hands away from my mouth, I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist, before two soft lips were pressed to my ear making me jump in surprise.
"Give me all your love, and affection, and, no one gets hurt." Harry growled in my ear, making me laughs softly, mostly in relief, as I leaned back into him, and slipped my fingers through his.
"That was cute so I'll let you scaring me slide." I informed, and Harry smiled as he kissed my cheek in the hardest of fashion's. "I'm a robber of love and affection." He mumbled against my skin, making me giggle.
"Well warning I give bad congestion." I informed, making him laugh as he nuzzled his face into my neck.
"That rhymed." He said, and I nodded knowingly.
"I figured you goof." I said playfully, then pulling his hand up to my face so I could kiss it prior to Harry letting me go, and grabbing my hips so he could spin me around to face him.
I could see at that moment Harry was wearing a white t-shirt with the same colored skinny jeans as me, which meant we were matching. "The jet is good to go baby." He informed, and immediately I felt my stomach began to dance with excitement.
I had completely forgotten about our trip today! Was it really Tuesday? Did it really come so soon? "Oh! I forgot, we're going to America today!" I exclaimed excitedly, and Harry chuckled as he pecked my lips.
"New York City to be exact." He said, making my excitement only increase.
"That's awesome!" I shouted, with a wide smile, and I then grabbed his face to kiss him but was interupted when the door bell rang, and less then a moment later Ashlin was brushing past Maddie who had gone to answer it.
"Harold darling!" She called out, and it took everything in me not to groan. There was one little detail about this trip I had forgotten, Ashlin was coming.
"Hey Ash!" Harry said with a polite smile as he kissed my nose then walked over to give her a hug while I watched her with a a small burn of jealousy in my stomach. At least she wasn't dressed like a slut today.
She was wearing a pencil skirt that went past her knee's, and a white blouse that was completely buttoned up.
Shocker.
I wished in that moment as they hug that I had something to do, but I already had everything I needed for the trip either in my pocket or in my duffle bag at the front door I had put there last night by Harry's request.
When they pulled away Ashlin then kissed Harry's cheek which made him blush as I felt my jealousy increase, and it decided to interfere before my sassy side escaped.
"Hi Ashlin." I said simply, just a moment before Harry ran back over to me, and pecked my lips prior to putting an arm around my waist.
"Ashlin will be on the jet with us." He informed, then leaning down to kiss my ear as he whispered, "I saw that look Mr. Jealous, but don't worry. You and I have a small room. So you could be in there during the ride if you'd like?" At that I couldn't help, but feel a tiny bit of rejection at the fact Harry said I could be in there as opposed to use being in there.
"And while I'm in the room where will you be?" I whispered back, wrapping an arm around his waist, and pulling him to my side as I gave Ashlin a thin lipped smile while she watched us with a hawk like expression, but she did return the smile.
"Oh course, if you want me to." Harry shrugged, then pulling his lips away from my ear as he turned his attention back to Ashlin who had a look of annoyance on her face.
I then, just by studying her body language, was truely begining to believe me, and Shailene were right about her being thirsty for Harry, and I was obviously a threat.
"I love you baby." I said, shooting her a sarcastic smile before nuzzling my face into Harry's neck to rid myself for a few moments of the sight of her, and I left a light kiss on his cool skin. Smiling at my gesture, Harry kissed my head softly.
"I love you to Louis! And what did I say, watch those lips." He warned, then pulling away from me as he kissed my cheek, and walked over to the front door where the bags were, and instantly Ashlin followed like a desparate puppy.
"C'mon babe grab your bag! We have to go to the airport now." Harry informed, and Ashlin shot me a small glare before giving Harry a sicky sweet smile.
"Harry darling let me help!" She coaxed, and I couldn't help but narrow my eyes at her as I walked over, and grabbed my bag off the floor prior to swinging it over my shoulder.
"While you two wrap things up in here I'll be in the car." I said, deciding I wanted nothing more to do with Ashlin pulling her moves now currently naive Harry who you would think knew someone liked him.
Pressing my lips tightly together I walked out of the house, not giving Harry a chance to protest. If Ashlin was going to act like this the whole trip, then maybe I should just back out now.
Or I could show her Harry was mine by extreme amount's of affection, either may being in her presence's made me sick.
"Hey Louis wait up!" Harry then called out as I leaned agains the trunk of the car, because I had forgotten the keys. "Just thought I should get a head start." I called back, feeling my body relax a bit when Harry came into veiw carring his bag.
"The whole point of me telling you to get your bag was so I could carry it out baby." Harry said, stopping in front of me, and kissing my nose before pulling out his keys to unlock the trunk.
"I can manage my own bag." I grumbled, watching Harry pop the trunk up. "Oh I'm sure you can baby, but I like to treat you like the prince you are." He says, winking at me as he threw in his bag, and held out a hand for mine.
As he was putting the bags in the trunk Ashlin came strutting out, a blank expression on her face as she looked over at me, but I decided to ignore.
"Can I have a proper kiss my love?" Harry asked, then grabbing me by my belt loop, and pulling me towards him, and I turned my attention back to him. "Of course kitten." I said, immediately wrapping my arm around his neck, and pressing my lips firmly to his.
Gosh I hope Ashlin was watching. Smiling at my seeming eagerness to kiss him, Harry wrapped his arms around my waist, and pulled my close while I slipped a hand into his curls, and pulled softly.
Harry's breath tasted like mint when it mingled with mine, and his lips were soft, and plump as always. I was pretty sure about ten second's into our kiss though Ashlin went in the car, because I heard a car door slam, and a huff.
I wonder if Harry caught that. Soon though I had to pull away, because I was out of breath, and Harry tried to deepen the kiss, but I knew if we went that far he would probably take me in the driveway in front of Ashlin.
"We should stop." I breathed, and Harry nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I think it'd be innapropiate to french kiss in front of a lady." He said, and I couldn't help but scoff slightly.
"Harry, can we just dump her on the side of the street?" I begged, trying to make my tone light even though I was being dead serious, and Harry responded by sliding his hands down to my hips, and gripping them.
"Baby she's one of my best friends! I'm not doing that." He said firmly, and I opened my mouth to give Harry a piece of my mind, and tell him what Shailene said, but sighed instead.
I might as well as just drop it, because maybe my jealously of their "friendship" was twisting my image of her.
"I was only teasing. Though she does look better with the stripper clothes." I said, struggling to keep my tone playful as I cupped Harry's cheek with one of my hands, and rubbed his cheek with my thumb, but stopped when he smacked me upside the head playfully.
"Don't talk like that, your mine." He grumbled, and I pouted as I pulled away to rub my perfectly fine head.
"Ouch.." I whined, then flicking Harry's chest. "Meanie." I stated, which only made Harry laugh as he grabbed my face prior to pecking my lips, and walking over to the drivers side of the car.
I guess that meant it was time to get in with dear Ashlin, and drive to the airport. Biting my lip to contain my thoughts, I walked over to the front passengers seat, and climbed in.
"We're ready now." I said to Ashlin as I buckled in, and put my feet up on the dashboard while Harry snapped on his buckle, and adjusted his mirrors.
"Harold this is your favorite car, and you let him put his feet on the dashboard? But if I do I get my leg smacked?" Ashlin scoffed, nearly making me pull my legs down, but Harry's laughed made me change my mind.
"He's my baby, and he's special!" Harry informed, leaning over to kiss my cheek before starting the car as I turned around to stick my tongue out at her prior to resting my hand on his thigh.
Yes I was acting childish, but I didn't like it how she tried to obviously get me in trouble.
"How long will we be in America? And what part of America are we going to?" I asked, turning my attention back to Harry who was obvlivious to the brief event, and he pulled out of the driveway smiling.
"We're gonna be in America for a couple of days, and we're gonna be in New York!" He exclaimed, grabbing my hand, and kissing it which made butterflies appear in my stomach.
"Sounds good to me!" I said, finding the thought of going to New York thrilling, because I had heard many interesting things about it. I was eager to see all the attractions there if we had time, and try one of their pizza's.
Sitting back as those thoughts ran through my mind, I looked out the window to relax a bit while looking at the scenery, but as fate would have it Ashlin ruined that piece.
"Harold darling you do know it will be just you, and I when we attend the meeting?" She askied, and Harry nodded as I diverted my attention back to them.
Of course I knew I wasn't aloud to go to the meeting nor did I care, but I suppose Ashlin had to assure herself I wouldn't be present there to prevent her from getting her claws on him.
"I'm aware." Harry confirmed, running his thumb over my hand as he pulled onto the busier roads, and I swallowed thickly before clearing my throat to remind them I was there.
"What's the meeting about?" I asked, glancing at Harry with a small smile, and he lifted up my hand so he could press it to my cheek.
"It's so the Victorian Secret owners will sign over the company to me!" He beamed with prominent dimples, and I laughed as his excitement as I rubbed my thumb over his cheek.
"That's amazing baby! I wish I could be there." I said truthfully, starting to wish I could be, but I could tell by Ashlin's face that was the last thing I was going to be doing in New York.
"Maybe after the meeting I can take you out to dinner to celebrate?" I suggested, even though I had no money, and Harry smiled brightly as his eyes lit up.
"That sounds wonderful babe! Your to sweet." He coaxed, grabbing my hand so he could kiss it again as we stopped at a red light.
"I know." I said playfully, then leaning over to kiss the corner of Harry's lips before sitting back down, and turning on the radio so we could listen to music for the rest of the trip, but of course Ashlin had to interupt that to.
"Harold darling you must come to dinner with me tomorrow night. They have your favorite restaurant in New York." Ashlin insisted, and instantly I felt my stomach clench as I looked back at her with a sicky sweet smile, that was completely fake.
"How about all three of us go to dinner? That way you won't feel excluded." I suggested, trying to be semi-nice, when in reality I wanted it to be just me, and Harry.
"Oh dear I meant just Harold and I. We hardly get to see one another because as you know he's always busy." She sneered at me, and I sat up straighter in my seat with a cruel word on my tongue, but Harry interupted me.
"Sorry Ash. I kinda wanna show Louis around New York. He's never been there before." Harry informed as I gritted my teeth to fight the urdge to let my cruel words slip, and I sat back in my seat as I grabbed his hand tightly.
"I'd love that Haz. Maybe we can pick up a few souvenirs for my sisters?" I suggested since we were going to visit them after the trip, and with that reminder to myself I could feel my tense mood relax a bit.
"Anything to win them over!" Harry said, eagerness in his done, and I smiled softly. Gosh I couldn't wait for my sisters to meet Harry, they'll love him. "All you have to do is be nice, and cuddly and they'll love you." I assured, and Harry gave me a sly smile.
"I just hope they don't give the kinda cuddles you do." He teased, making me scoff as Ashlin made a face. "Fine don't come!" I said sarcastically, and Harry pouted as he pulled off the highway.
"Haha. You know you want me to." He coaxed, giving me the eyes, and I couldn't help but laugh. "Yes. Yes I do. And I can hardly wait!" I admitted, pretty much forgetting Ashlin was in the backseat, and Harry smiled.
"Me neither lovely." He informed, directing his attention back to the road, and I sighed contently.
"Are we there yet?" I then asked, deciding to annoy him, and both Harry and Ashlin groaned loudly. "Don't you dare start with that!" Harry warned, turning on the gravel road that led to the airport parking lot, and I sat up straighter.
"Well are we?" I asked, and Harry sighed as the airport came into view.
"Yes Louis."
