Blank Space

I was sitting on my bed when I heard the door open and shut, and immediately I was on guard, it could be anyone. I forgot to lock the door. My breathing started to become faster, and I felt a panic attack coming on.

“Em? Babe?” I heard someone, probably Harry or Zayn shout. I felt tears coming to my eyes, I’d forgotten to lock the door, it could’ve been that Stephen guy, or his dad. I ran downstairs and saw Harry, standing with some other guy and Niall, and I rushed into his arms, I was trembling, but it was okay. I was okay.

“Niall, go check her room, and baby girl, I could’ve been anyone. Why didn’t you lock the door?” He asked. I shrugged and he tightened his arms around my waist. “Talk to me baby, what made you so scared?” He asked. I shook my head and he lifted me easily. “Jason, make yourself at home, I’m going to sit with Ember for a bit, the rest of the guys should be here soon.” Harry said as he sat down with me on the couch.

“I think I’m a target for your dad’s gang.” I said, when Jason left the room. Harry’s hands tightened around my waist as he looked down at me, a frown on his face.

“What makes you say that, love?” He asked.

“I was getting dressed after my shower, and I hadn’t closed my drapes cause I mean, it’s my room. And when I was done, I got this text.” I showed him the text, and rested my head against his shoulder.

Harry POV

“Nice body, baby. Next time though, the clothes will be coming off, not going on. x – S.” Who did he think he was? Honestly, I’m not dating Ember, although I plan to, but regardless of that fact, she’s a woman and she deserves respect. Part of that respect includes not having guys watch her get dressed and call it a show, when it was hardly a show. “Well, I’ll have a talk with my dad, Em. In the mean time, do you still want to go eat?” I asked gently.

She smiled and nodded eagerly. “Yeah, I still want to get dinner.” She replied. I got up and helped her up, smiling at her outfit. “You wore this the day I met you.” I mused. Ironic that she’d wear it the day I met her, and the day I’m planning to ask her to be my girlfriend. “You remember the day we met?” She asked with a smile. “Love, it was only three weeks ago, of course I remember.” I laughed.

Once we got to the restaurant, I turned to her. “Ember, I have a question to ask you.” I smiled, I wasn’t nervous. I would understand if she wanted to turn me down, and I’d also understand if she said yes. “All right.” She smiled. “Well, I like you a lot. Will you be my girlfriend?” I asked, a cheeky smile on my face. “Yeah, I would. But you can’t be overbearing, or abusive, or anything that my ex was. You have to treat me how I deserve, Harry.” She said. “I’ll do all of that, and more. Would you like to go to dinner now?” I asked, smiling. “Yeah, but can we go somewhere more casual? Like Nandos or McDonald’s? I just feel a bit out of place here.” She asked. I nodded and started the car again. I like this restaurant but I want her to be comfortable, and I can see how she may feel out of place.

After dinner, we went home, and I kissed her and walked her up to her room. As soon as I left, I called my dad. “Hello, son.” He said, a smirk in his voice. “Hello, dad. I need you to leave Ember alone. I don’t want Sebastian spying on her again, and if I find out it happens again, well, we just called in help, and he happens to know your exact location and you know that if you were to tragically die, your little gang would fizzle out.” I said, a smirk on my face and in my voice. “All right. Although I can’t promise his actions, son, people have free will. You of all people should know that.” He responded and hung up. I smiled confidently and went to my bedroom, and fell asleep quickly.

Harry’s Dad’s POV

“Sebastian, Harry doesn’t want you spying on Ember. But I do want you to watch him, make him insane. Send him little anonymous texts, some with pictures of him. I want you to make him fear you. Drive him insane.” I smirked across the table at him. He nodded, a huge smile on his face. “Of course I’ll do all that. Your son needs to be taught a lesson.” Sebastian responded. “Then we have an understanding.” I smiled and left.
