Harry's POV

I woke up and went downstairs to get breakfast.

"Hey Harold." Gemma greeted me.

"Hi Sis."

"You excited for tonight?" She asked.

I smiled into the cereal I was pouring, "Yeah I am."

"So are you guys official yet?"

"No not yet."

"Uhm why?"

"She wants to move slowly so I'm letting her make all the moves."

"Hm. That's actually very gentlemen like of you Harry."

"Thanks Sis." I said around my spoonful of cereal.

I walked up to my room and took my songbook out of my backpack. I hadn't replaced it between my mattresses yesterday. I sat down at my desk with my laptop open. Niall had recorded the chord progression for me so that I could put words to the music.

I flipped the pages past countless songs that I had written. I flipped past "Little Things," "Happily," "Alive," and got to the one I started writing when I met Annie.... "You and I."

I fast forward through the guitar chords to the chorus and started singing the chorus with the music to see if it sounded decent....

"You and I.... We dont wanna be like them. We can make it till the end. Nothing can come between you and i. Not even the Gods above could separate the two of us." I sang. Yeah that sounded good with the chord progression.

I scribbled those lyrics in red pen to notify myself later that those were the lyrics I was gonna keep. I kept scribbling lyrics.

"i know how it goes. I know how it goes from wrong and right. Silence and sound. Did they ever hold each other tight like us? Did they ever fight like us?" I really liked those lyrics for a verse before the chorus. I had perfected them a couple days ago. Now I wrote them in red and then boxed them and put Liam's name next to them.

"I see what it's like.... I see what it's like for day and night...." I tapped my pencil on my songbook thinking of what could come after these lyrics. I sighed frustrated, boxed what I had down and put Louis' name next to it.

I glanced at my clock... 6:30. Time literally flew whenever I was writing music. It was the one thing in the world I could do for hours straight and never notice the time flying by.

I went to my closet and grabbed my outfit for the Annual White Party. I slipped on my white dress pants. After I put on my white v-neck shirt and put on a white blazer. I sprayed my cologne and fixed my hair. I walked downstairs and grabbed a white rose from the flower arrangement on the dining room table.

"Harry you look wonderful!" I heard my mom say.

"Thanks Mum." I smiled. "Is it okay if I take this for Annie?" I asked gesturing to the rose I was holding.

"Oh of course! Have fun baby." She said and disappeared into the kitchen.

I walked out of my house and strolled to Annie's house only a few houses down. I checked my phone and it was 6:57. I shoved my phone back in my pocket and kept walking, the cold wind biting at my cheeks.

I walked up to her door and rang the doorbell. I heard footsteps coming to answer the door and I took a deep breath.

Annie opened the door and I felt my eyes widen as I took in her appearance. She was wearing a white dress that was skin tight from her torso to halfway down her thigh. White sequins meandered around her dress from the bottom left of the dress and went diagonally up to the right and became the strap that hugged her right shoulder. She had on small white heels with the same white sequins on the strap that went across her toes. She had her hair in an elegant yet messy bun. Her bun
was more to the bottom left of her head instead of in the back. My heart ached and my breath caught, "Oh Annie..... You look beautiful." I held out my white rose to her and she took it with a smile on her face.

Her cheeks turned pink, "Thanks Harry." She stepped out and wrapped her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist. Oh Annie....

"C'mon silly. It's cold out here." I said stepping away from her.

Annie's POV

I opened the door and saw Harry standing there. He was wearing white pants, a white v-neck, and a white blazer. He was also holding a single white rose. Props to you Styles for actually following the dress code.

I saw his emerald eyes widen when he saw me. My heart skipped. He liked it.

"Oh Annie...You look beautiful." He choked. He handed me the rose. I felt my lips twitch into a smile. My cheeks turned pink as I took the rose from him.

"Thanks Harry." I stepped out ignoring the cold biting against every inch of my bare skin and wrapped my arms around his neck. His warm hands snaked around my waist and pulled me into a hug.

"C'mon silly. It's cold out here." He said and stepped away from me.

My heart was pounding as we stepped through the doorway. I was planning on telling Harry that I was ready to make it official. I wanted him to be mine.

"Hold on, i'm gonna go put this in my room. Socialize. I'll be right back." I said walking to my stairs. I turned around and saw him shrug. There were already plenty of people that he could socialize with. He went to talk to my mother...Oh Harry....

I went into my bathroom and cut the stem of the rose shorter. The flower was so perfectly bloomed. Each petal was pulled away from the center so it looked like a radiant white sun. I took the flower and tucked the stem in my hair on the same side that my bun was on. I sprayed my hair again and turned around to leave my room.

I came down the stairs slowly. Harry was standing talking to my neighbor. He turned his head and did a double-take. He smiled up at me as i descended the stairs. My neighbor looked at me then back at Harry. He chuckled and walked away.

Harry came to meet me at the bottom of the stairs. He held out his hand and I took it. I got to the bottom of the stairs and he wrapped his hands around my waist.

"Nice flower." He smirked.

"Why thank you." I said showing it off.

He grabbed my hand and led me into the ballroom of my house. (AKA, my family room with no furniture)

The song that was playing was "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz. There were five or six other couples dancing and Harry pulled me to join them.

He turned me to face him and smiled down at me. "Wanna dance?"

"Do I have a choice?" I laughed placing my left hand on his shoulder. He grabbed my right hand with his left and snaked his right hand around my back. We started swaying along with the gentle beat of the music.

About 30 seconds into the song I took my hand out of his and wrapped my hands around his neck. His other hand wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to him so that our noses were almost touching. I pulled him closer so that it was more like we were hugging.

"Harry..." I whispered into his ear. My heart started to pound and I was afraid he could feel it but I'm sure he could.

"Yeah Annie?"

"I have to talk to you about something..."

"Am I in trouble?" He chuckled.

I laughed, "No Haz. See.... All month... You've done exactly what I asked you to do regardless of what you were feeling and how hard it was for you. And... I just need to thank you..."

"For what?"

"For being my best friend...and for always being there....and for respecting my wishes to get to know you better before anything serious happened."

He took a deep breath like he'd been waiting to have this conversation for a long time. "And I think it's time..." I whispered.

"Time for what?"

"For us to become an official thing...if that's what you still want anyway."

He pulled away from me a little so that he could look into my eyes... "Oh Annie..."

We stopped swaying and he tucked a stray strand of my hair behind my ear. He let his hand rest on my cheek. I cupped his face in my hands and his eyes fluttered shut. I pulled him closer to me until we were centimeters apart.... Millimeters...

"I won't give up on you..." He whispered and pulled me to him the rest of the way.

Our lips met and i could feel the month's restraint he had held back every time we were together. Ugh I missed this. The tenderness and hunger of his kisses, his arms enclosing me and holding me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through the hair on the back of his head. His tongue parted my lips and our bodies bent to fit next to each other with no space between us.

Shit people are probably staring.... I stepped back quickly and he looked kind of hurt. He looked around and saw a few people staring and got the hint. I grabbed his hand and started dragging him with me.

"Where are we going?" He laughed.

I didn't answer. I took him up the stairs and into my room. I shut the door behind us. As soon as the door clicked, Harry grabbed me and pushed me against the door as he kissed up and down my neck and ran his hands over my stomach and chest. I gasped and wrapped my arms around his neck. He kissed my mouth repeatedly and messaged my breasts as he did. I can't even describe what I was feeling... He pulled me away from the door and lifted me up so that I straddled his waist. I didn't even care about my dress...God who cares? He rested his hands on my butt to hold me up and I locked my ankles behind his back and wrapped my arms around his neck again. His kisses became hungrier and hungrier. He nipped at my lips a couple times with his teeth. He backed up and sat on my bed. I folded my legs next to his though I was still straddling his hips. He kissed me again, his tongue exploring my mouth. He slipped my one strap down my shoulder and hugged me against him more. I let out a small moan and I felt him smile against my mouth. He started kissing my chest letting out small moans as he gently grinded his hips into mine. His right hand snaked up to the back of my neck and kissed my mouth again. He whispered my name after a few kisses, each one sounding more desperate. I moaned and he started to unzip the back of my dress....

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

"Annie?! We have guests! What are you doing in there?" My mom called.

I gasped and jumped next to Harry returning my strap to my shoulder.

"Just a second mom!" I called.

"What should I do?" He hissed.

"Uh... Hide in my shower or something." I whispered.

He whirled around and went through the dark opening into my bathroom. I heard him pull the shower curtain open and close it again. I went to my vanity and fixed my appearance to as close to as it was before. I grabbed a couple necklaces out of my jewelry box and walked over to my door.

I opened it and my mom was looking at me with an eyebrow raised.

"I was trying to see if either of these matched."

"You're really set on wearing a necklace aren't you? I think you look beautiful without one."

"Hm okay. I'll be down in a second. I just have a couple other things to do."

"Alright well hurry Annie." My mom said closing the door again.

I waited until her footsteps receded. I tiptoed into my bathroom and whipped the shower curtain open...

"Jesus!" He gasped. "Oh God. I thought you were your mum..."

"No she's gone." I sighed.

He stumbled out of the shower and started fixing his shirt. I chuckled at him.

"What?" He laughed looking at me and continued fixing his clothes. "You did this to me you know."

"Yeah I know." I laughed and ran my fingers through his curls trying to make them look normal.

I chuckled because they were just too crazy and weren't laying right. I ditched fixing them and started trying to style his hair into a mohawk.

"WHAT are you doing?" He sighed.

"Messing your hair up more." I laughed and looked into his eyes to challenge him.

"I could get you so bad right now but because we're at a party... that YOU and your mother are hosting....i won't totally mess up your hair." He said taking my wrists and holding them in his hands.

His hair looked absolutely ridiculous and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh you!" He said and snaked his hands around my waist and pulled me against him.

I rested my hands on his shoulders and admired his emerald gaze. I leaned in and kissed him again. I was so happy to finally be able to just....kiss him again. I tried to pull away but he wouldn't let me. He put one of his hands behind my neck and kept kissing me.

"Harry." I smiled against his lips. He let go and looked at me. "We have to go downstairs or my mom will come back up."

"Right right. By the way," he paused, "You're dress is still kind of unzipped. Muh bad." He laughed.

I laughed. "Yeah yeah fix it."

He slid his hand up my back, grabbed the zipper and pulled it up an inch or so.

"Okay now we can go." He laughed.

He grabbed my hand and we walked out of my room and down the stairs to enjoy the rest of the Annual White Party.
