Strictly Professional.

The buses had arrived in Montreal around six am and the pair were completely exhausted. Penny wanted desperately to make her way up to a bed, she had fallen asleep on the couch with Harry and her back was in knots. She was walking off the bus and heading towards the back exit, it was a particularly quiet night considering the boys were on fire right now. Harry quickly caught up with Penny, leaning into her. “Want to stay in my room? No funny business, I just figure it’s easier to get the food delivered and avoid people seeing one of us going into the other’s room and being sneaky.” He had a valid point, however if anyone saw her going into his room now it would appear sneakier. “Yeah, that makes sense, but you know… everyone else? They can see us too you know.” She said with a laugh, they were entering through a small corridor now, headed up toward a service elevator. The rest of the group was on the bus still, getting all their shit together because they had all fallen asleep, so Harry felt that it wasn’t really going to be that big of a deal. “C’mon, live a little.” He said with a wink and they were getting into the small elevator now. It was just the two of them and one of the employees at the hotel; they had gotten themselves far enough away that they could probably pull this off. Penny turned her body toward his, giving him a defeated look. “Fine, but no funny business. I’m beyond sleepy.” She gave him a pout, her lashes fluttering as she spoke. His lips curled into a crooked smile, giving her a nod. “Straight to sleep.” He confirmed and the two were whisked away to his room. It was definitely much nicer than what she was going to be sleeping in, there were multiple rooms for starters. Her lips spread into a yawn as she approached the large window that overlooked the city. She was lost in the view when she felt him approach her, his hand stopping on the small of her back. “This isn’t bed you know. I’ll sleep on the couch, do you need anything?” Harry had proved to be one of the kindest people Penny had ever met. He was always putting others before him and was quite sensitive. The girl pondered his words, her eyes furrowing as she looked up to him.
“I was kind of thinking we could share the bed?” Her dark eyes blinking slowly as she waited for a response, his hand lingering still right above her bottom. Harry’s tongue slipped over his bottom lip and his eyes gave her a cautious flash. “You’re sure? I don’t want you to be uncomfortable Penny…” His words lingered and their bodies were inching closer to one another. Their hearts began to race in sync, the room was silent except for the sound of their breathing, and Harry couldn’t take it any longer. He leaned in swiftly, his lips crashing against hers. A million and one things going through Penny’s head and in that instant the thoughts paused. He was kissing her and more importantly she was kissing him back. Her hands moved to his shoulders, wrapping around them and pulling him closer. Her stomach was doing somersaults and she felt as though she would explode at any minute. As the kiss deepened, Harry’s hands were tugging at her shirt, he had thought of this moment for so long. It was like a daydream he was scared he’d snap out of. He wasn’t far off, a few minutes into the increasingly passionate kiss there was a bang on the door. Loud enough to make the pair jump and their lips pull apart quickly.
“Oi! Harold where’ve you gone off to??” The voice belonging to Louis was immediately recognized and Harry let out a chuckle. “Perfect timing…” His eyes rolling as he spoke. “Go on to bed love, no funny business though. I’ll let you sleep…” His words lingered as he looked at her, biting his bottom lip as though he was using all his will to control himself. Penny could feel the flush in her cheeks rising, she was embarrassed. She let out a sigh and shook her head as she walked away from him and into the bedroom, groaning as she closed the glass doors behind her. She was making a mistake, most definitely going to lose her job, and more importantly she was going to mess up everything she’d built with this guy because she couldn’t control her own impulses. She walked to the bed with chaos in her mind, how could she be so impulsive? She peeled the fluffy white blankets back, the scent of freshly washed linens wafting into her nostrils and she suddenly realized she didn’t have anything to sleep in. She looked over her body, a pair of shorts, a thin tank top, and a zippered sweater was all she had. She pulled the denim shorts off of her body, folding them neatly on the table and then set her sweater on top of them. Her underwear was close enough to boy shorts that she figured it would be enough and her tank was just fine. She climbed into the bed, melting into the sheets, and tucking the blanket tightly to her body.

Harry approached the door, trying to hide the disappointment on his face. He had been crushing on this girl hard for almost 2 years now and of course it was ruined. He opened the door quickly, giving Louis a glare. “Mate, I’m knackered. What is it?” His voice was sleepy really, he knew that as soon as his head hit the pillow it would be lights out, there was no more kissing for him tonight.
“Oh, yeah course you are.” Niall chimed in, stepping into the doorframe. “Rumour is you’ve got a friend here? Is it true, that quickly mate? We’ve only just arrived, how do you do it?” Niall would joke, looking around the room to see if he could catch a glimpse. Harry shook his head, his palm touching the blonde’s chest and pushing him out of the room. “You heard wrong, I’m alone.” He would lie, not wanting to out Penny. Liam was walking up now, bag in hand and he gave Harry a look. “Yeah, he’s alone. I saw him get in the elevator and all. You’re talking nonsense lads, let’s get some sleep.” Liam had seen Penny and Harry canoodling on the bus and watched them disappear into the hotel together. He knew she was there, but he was always one to have his brothers back. Louis and Niall let out a groan, rolling their eyes. “Sure sure, see you tomorrow then. Get some sleep, you look like shit and take that out of your hair.” Louis would say jokingly before skipping off and away, probably back to the bus. Niall gave Harry a laugh and then turned, walking toward his room. “Thanks mate…” Harry said to Liam, who only gave him a nod and a smile before heading off to his room.
