Safe heaven
Taking chances.
Erica's P.O.V.
Well these past four days have been very boring. I've been sitting in my apartment doing nothing but watching old tv shows and eating soups.
Today is no different. The boys are at rehearsal and I'm currently laying in my couch watching old videos of all the boys on YouTube. I giggle to myself every time I see one of the boys on my screen. They look so young, and defiantly have a different sense of style.
"What is the hell are you watching?!" Harry says making me jump.
"When did you get here?!" I say pausing my video.
"Like two minutes ago. Now answer my question!" He said sitting down beside me.
"Well I thought I should relive the life of one direction!" I say proudly. He grabs my iPad and scrolls through YouTube.
We watch some old videos from the X factor and old interviews.
"Oh god! This seems like forever ago!" He said with a smile.
"Ohh this ones my favorite!" I say tapping on the love performance of torn from the X factor.
A smile grows on my face as the video comes to an end. I very watched that video about five time today. I don't know it's just something about all of them in that video. They all just seemed so free and open.
We spent an hour or so just watching old videos of them. We were laying next to each other on the couch.
"Hey! I have an idea!" He said happily.
"And what may that be?" I ask raising my eyebrows.
"Ice cream for dinner!!" He said with a smile.
"Okay! But first let me take a shower." I say getting up.
"Yea me too I smell like man!" He said flexing his muscles.
"Nope I'm pretty sure I just smell boy!" I tease.
"Haha so funny!" He pouts as I walk him to the door.
"Oh yea now I smell a true man right here." I say with a giggle.
"Bye bug." He says planting a kiss to my forehead.
I quickly jog up my stairs and jump in the shower. I let the warm water run down my back as I wash my hair.
"I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby...." I sing to my self rinsing the soap off my body.
"Her name is Noel I have a dream about her..." I sing as I dance around trying to get my jeans on I hear Harry walking up stairs.
"She rings my bell I got gym class in half an hour" Harry sings walking into my room. I quickly rush to out a shirts on as my face grows red.
"Don't worry love I've seen it all before." He said with a smirk. His words make my face grow even redder. I quickly throw on a sweatshirt and some makeup.
"I didn't know you listen to the Wheatus?" He said laying across my bed looking through his phone.
"Yea, my dad always played it when I was younger." I say putting a pair of shoes on.
"Let's go get something to eat I'm starving!" He says jumping up grabbing my hand and pulling me down the stairs.
I just laugh as he continues to pull me all the way to the elevator.
Harry's P.O.V.
After we finished our milkshakes at the local ice cream shop I decide that I want to test Erica's adventurous side. So I decide that we are going to do skydiving.
"Harry what are you doing?! I'm not doing this!" Erica says as I pull up to a skydiving building.
"Why Erica?! Live a little!" I say waving my hands in the air.
"Harry I can't..." She say playing with her hands.
"Why? Are you scared of heights?" I ask pulling in a parking space.
She didn't answer she just kept her head down picking at her nail polish.
"It's okay love I'll be here with you." I say tilting her head to look at me. I looked in her eyes for a moment.
"Okay." She breathed out.
I quickly jump out of the car and run over to her door and open it.
"I can't believe we are about to do this." She said as I intertwine our fingers together.
We quickly walk across the parking lot and I open the door for here.
"Hello!" A guy greets from behind the counter.
"Ello!" I reply back happily and Erica smiles.
"And what bring you guys in today?" He asked.
"Well we thought we would try something new. We wish to skydive." I answer him.
"Great! Well follow me and we'll get everything set up." He said ushering us to follow him.
After all the instruction videos and wavers we had to fill out we were finally getting dressed in those odd wind suites.
"You guys ready?" The instructor asked us. I look over to Erica and she nods and smiles. I can tell she is really nervous.
We follow the instructor out to the plane and climb in.
"So what made you guys do this today?" He asks as the pilot begins to fly the plane.
"Just thought we would be adventurous today!" I say with a smile, Erica looks up and smile as well.
As we got higher and higher Erica's knee would bounce even faster and faster. I place my hand on it and she looks at me.
"You'll be fine I promise." I whisper to her and place a kiss to her cheek.
"Okay let's do this!" The other instructor say standing up.
After we both got strapped in to the harnest with the instructors they explained to us what to do.
"So on the count of three!" One of the instructors yelled over the sound of the plane. I look at Erica and she looks really excited like all the nerves left her body.
"1.....2......3!!" They both yell as they jump out of the plane. I hear a scrape escape Erica's mouth, I laugh to myself.
Words can't describe the rush I feel. I look over at Erica and see that she is laughing and enjoying herself.
The view is absolutely beautiful. The city beneath us, my beautiful girlfriend enjoying this experience with me. My life could get any better than this.
As we land on the ground we detach our selfs from the instructors and Erica runs over to me and jumps in to my arms hugging me. I warp my arms around her waist and spin her around.
"Thank you Harry!" She says kissing me gentle on the lips.
"Thank you! I really did think that you weren't going to go through with it." I say setting her down.
"That was insane!" She said with a huge smile and I notice a small dimple on her left cheek. I've never noticed it before.
"And to think you were scared of heights!" I say playfully.
"The things you do to me Styles!" She said with a smirk.
After we arrived back to the skydiving place Erica seems to be happier than usual. She seems more care free like she could do anything in the world. It's quite nice to see her like this she's been so off the last couple of days.
She happily grabs my hand and swings it back and fourth as we walk back to my car.
"So what do you want to do now?" She asks as I open the door for her.
"I don't know what do you want to do?" I ask before closing the door and jog to my side of the door.
"How about we ask the guy to go bowling or something?" She says playing with the radio.
"Sounds great!" I say with a smile.
"I'll text them!" She says happily typing into her phone. I smile to myself just watching her.
"So are you getting excited for tour?" I ask as I drive back to the apartment.
"Yes! I still have to go buy a bigger suite case." She says looking down at her phone.
"Should I tell them to meet us at yours or there?"
"There's fine." I say glancing over at her.
"Just to let you know I suck at bowling." She giggles looking over to me.
"Oh don't worry love me to." I say with a smirk. "Let's make this interesting." I say with a mischievous grin.
"How?!" She says as I pull into my parking space.
"If I win I get to kiss you whenever, where ever, and how ever I want." I say with a grin.
"And what do I get if I win?"
"Anything your little heart desires!" I say.
"Deal!" She says happily.
"Perfect!" I say with a smirk. Knowing I'll win this. I may have told a little white lie, but it's for a good cause. Me!
Erica's P.O.V.
Well Harry is a big fat lair. He just scored his fifth strike in a row. And I'm just sitting he with a score of ten.
"You're a liar!" I say as he sits down beside me as Niall goes up to bowl.
"I might have told a little lie." He said with a grin.
"He lies about a lot of things actually!" Louis adds.
"Oh really?!" I say raising an eyebrow.
"Don't listen to him!" He says with a smirk.
"I don't believe you!" I return with a grin.
After about another hour of bowling we decide to call it a night. The boys have practice tomorrow and I still have to prepare for tour.
As we walk into my apartment Harry playfully grabs me by the waist and pulls me to him. He presses kisses to my neck.
"Harry.." I breath out, knowing what he wants to do with the rest of the night.
"Mmmhmm?" He hums into my neck.
"I'm still sick." I say wishing he could continue. But with tour coming up I'm not taking any chances.
"Uggggg!" He groans into my neck. I giggle at his actions.
"Plus I'm mad at you! You lied to me!" I say playfully hitting him in the chest.
"Well I mean if a opportunity comes I'm going to take it!" He says with a grin.
"I'll have to remember that!" I say walking up the stairs and he follows.
We change for bed and curl up together. My hands find their way to his chest outlining his two bird tattoos. I can feel his deep green eyes watch as my fingers glide along he toned chest. His hand rest on my hips, we sit there in silence enjoying each other's presence.
We sit there for moments I feel his chest rise and fall under my fingertips. His hands wrap around me a little tighter. I soon hear faint snores fall from his mouth. I look up at his beautiful face and watch as he falls deeper into sleep.
"Harry?" I say quietly making sure he was asleep. After a few moments of waiting for an answer I came to the conclusion that he is asleep.
I gentle stretch up and press a kiss to his lips. I lay my head against his chest and drift to sleep.
