Safe heaven

Erica's P.O.V.

I wake up to the smell of a roast in the oven. I stretch my arms a bit and notice Harry's head next to mine.

I laugh silently to myself as a bit of drool falls from his mouth.

Harry has been absolute perfect toward me. I have caught myself thinking about what would happen if this ever stops. One night I was at the hotel room alone sleeping while the boys went out to a club. And I woke myself up crying because I had a nightmare. The thing that scares me the most is that I've had the same nightmare about four times. The dream would be walking into the dressing room after a show to find Harry with another girl then him telling me to my face that he doesn't want me anymore.I've never let the dream continue I would always wake up.

"Good morning" Harry's voice pull me from my thoughts.

"More like good afternoon." I say with a laugh.

"It's that late already." He says stretching a bit.

"Yea, the smell woke me up." I say sitting up.

"It does smell quite nice."

"Well I'm going to go shower!" I say pulling the blankets off me.

"Can I come?" Harry asks with a smirk.

"No!"

"And why not?" He pouts.

"Because Harold we are in your parents house! And I know what this leads to!" I say with a grin.

"Please?" He said putting his bottom lip out further.

"Nope!" I say before making my way to the bathroom and making sure to lock the door behinds me, so I don't have any surprise visitors.

After I finish bathing I wrap a towel around me and quickly make my way back to Harry's room.

"You locked the doors!" Harry says as I enter the room.

"You had it coming! I saw the smirk on your face." I say pulling on some underwear, I caught Harry looking and is felt my face grow a bit red.

"Go shower!" I scolded him and he grins.

"Whatever you say." He says before walking out of his room.

After I finish getting ready Harry is still in the shower. I swear he takes longer than me to get ready! I make my way downstairs and see Anne in the kitchen.

"Hello love!" She chimes from the stove.

"Do you need any help?" I say standing next to her.

"Actually could you set the table? The plates and everything are over there." She says motioning over toward the counter.

"I would love to!" I say happily.

About half way through setting the table Harry joins me.

"You look beautiful." He says walking past me with glasses in his hands. I blush and continue to finish placing the silverware.

A knock comes from the door and Harry answers it.

"Grand mum! Pa!"he cheers and the elderly couple walk through the door.

"Erica come here!" Harry say happily. I walk over toward him and he places his arm around my waist.

"Guy this is my lovely girlfriend Erica" he says with a cheeky smile.

"It's lovely to meet you love!" His grandmother says sweetly.

"It's a pleasure too meet you guys as well." I say smiling.

Harry and his grandfather wonder off somewhere and I join Anne and Harry's gran in the kitchen.

"So how has tour been?" Anne asks resting her elbows on the counter and set her head to her hands.

"It's been really cool, I've met a lot of new people. I'm really excited for our next stop!"

"Paris?" She asks.

"Yes! I've always dreamed of going there"

"It is a very beautiful city. I've been there once or twice." As she finished her sentence the timer went off.

"Well dinner is ready! Could you go find the guys?" I nod and walk out of the kitchen.

"She is a very lovely girl, Harry is one lucky guy." I over hear gran saying and a smile appears on my face.

I walk toward the back door and spot Gemma.

"Hey!" I say walking toward her.

"Erica!" She said with a huge smile. We had gotten really close the couple of days she joined us in England.

"When did you get here?" I say embracing her in a hug.

"A few moments ago." She laughs out.

"Well just in time dinner is ready!"

"Yay!" She cheers as I go grab the guys.

We all sit around the dinner table eating have a good laugh.

"So how did you guys meet?" Gran asks.

"Well it's kinda of odd." Harry starts, gam nods and waits for him to continue.

"We both were on the same flight to London. And out of luck I had gotten a seat next to this lovely girl." He said looking at me.

"And then we got to talking and everything just fell into place from there." He finished with a smile.

We continued to talk for awhile. We talked about Gemma and her schooling and then about her future. Then Anne came out with desert and we all enjoyed each other.

Harry's P.O.V.

After dinner I decide to take Erica out for a walk. I take hold of her waist and pull her close to me as we walk down the sidewalk together.

"I love your grandparents." She said with a smile and her eyes sparkle.

"They love you too." I say smiling.

"I can't wait till you meet mine." She says smiling brightly.

"I hope they like me." I say a bit nervously.

"Harry they will love you! They have told me that they are very excited to meet you!"

"Really?!" I say a bit shocked.
"Yea! My mom has told them all about you."

"Tell me about them." I say grining

She proceeded to tell me every single thing about them. She told me that they adore her probably the most out of all the grandchildren. She said that her father, their son has a very strong relationship with them. Out of his brothers and sister he was the one who always put family first.

"So your basically telling me you are their little princess?" I say with a smirk.

"Basically" she says with a laugh.

"Well looks like the name sticks." I laugh.

"And you sir are my prince." She says stopping wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Good I'm glad I'm not the ugly step sister." I say with a laugh.

"Well that would be kind of hard since you are a boy." She say laughing.

"That is true." I say pressing a soft kiss to her lips.

"Let's get you home princess." I say wrapping my arm around her shoulder.

"So I was thinking we could go out to the woods tomorrow and have a small picnic or something." I say as we stroll together.

"Okay." She says with a sweet smile.

We walk up to my house and walk right in. The warm sent of tea rushes through my nostrils.

"Hey loves!" My mom chimes as we walk into the den.

"Hi" We answer. I notice Gemma passed out on the floor by the couch.

"There's some tea in the kitchen if you two want some." My mom said looking over her shoulder.

"You want some?" I ask Erica as she sits down on the couch. She gives a small nod. And I make my way to the kitchen.

I pour two cups of boiling water and place a tea bag in both. I open the cupboard and look for the sugar.

I stir in a little bit of sugar in my cup and some in Erica's.

I walk back into the den and notice that Erica talked my parents into watching Shrek. I laugh quietly to myself as I see them fixated on the tv.

We watch the end of the movie and head our separate ways to bed.

"I can't believe you." I say chuckling closing the door behinds me.

"What?" She asks innocently.

"You love that movie to much." I say shaking my head.

"That is true." She says laughing.

We stay up for a couple of hours just laughing and talking about random silly things we did when we were growing up.

Erica's P.O.V.

"I bet you can't catch four of those in your mouth!" I say popping a grape into my mouth. It's a beautiful day here in Holmes chapel and we are currently laying on a blanket in the fields.

"You're on!" Harry challenges. He tosses a grape up in the air on at a time and catches three of them in a row.

"Last one!" He says with a smirk.

"Better catch it!"

He tosses it and I hits him right in the middle of the forehead. I burst out laughing and Harry pouts.

"You're mean!" He says throwing a grape at me. I just stick my tongue out at him. He tackles me to the ground and starts to tickle my sides.

"Harry stop!" I laugh out.

"No this is what you get for making fun of me!" He says tickling a bit harder.

After about ten minutes of torture Harry stopped tickling me.

I rest my head against his chest as we lay down on the blanket watching the clouds pass above us. A gently breezes blows across the spring sky. I can hear Harry's heart sedately beating under me. I smile to myself as Harry laces our fingers together. He gently sets his head on top of mine and lays his arms on my waist.

We lay like this for a while. I finally let my eyes meet with his, a sparkle flashes in his eyes.

"You're to good for me." He says quietly.

"I think it's the other way around honestly." I hate when he says stuff like his. What he doesn't know that I constantly think to myself that Harry needs someone better than me.

"No, anyone would be the luckiest person in the world to come across a gem like you."

"And you're that guy." I say before Harry turning me toward him connecting our lips.

"Why is it that in sponge bob their clouds are flowers?" I say as I pull away.

"What?!" Harry laughs.

"I've always wondered." I say giggling.

"Have you ever just watched old cartoon and wonder how do they come up with things?"

"Or just how bad some of the jokes are in them?"

"You mean like your jokes?" Harry say seriously.I give him a look.

"You and Louis really don't like my jokes do you?!"

"They are pretty bad, but you make them adorable."

We lay together for a while. It's so nice to just disconnect from everyone for a while and just be us. We don't have to worry about cameras or fans or anything out here. It's so peaceful and quite.

"Harry?" He looks over toward me as I climb into the car.

"I love you." I say randomly. I watches as the corners of his mouth flicker into a smile showing off his
dimples.

"I love you too" he says pressing a kiss to my lips. I smile as he pulls away.

"So.." He says awkwardly.

"So what?" I say giving him a confused look.

"Spit it out Harry!" I say with a laugh.

"I-I was wondering if you would want to go to see my buddy preform when we're in New York?." He says really fast.

"Yes sure!" I say with a giggle clueless of why he was so nervous to ask me.

"Great!" He says with a cheeky smile.

"You're strange!" I say putting the last of my stuff in my bag.

"Are you excited to see your family?" Harry asks sitting down beside me in his bed.

"Yea, but my mom was telling me that my cousin got a new girlfriend but she wouldn't tell me who it is."

"Whys that?" He asks as I set my bag back in the ground.

"I have no idea, I know he hasn't been good with the ladies if you know what I mean." I say with a giggle.

"I can teach him a couple things if he wants" he says laughing.

"Oh okay!" I playful hit his chest.

We spend the rest of the night just watching random television shows. Before I knew it I was passed out on top of Harry's chest.
