Harry’s POV

“So, when were you gonna tell me about the movie?”, Bella asks me as we get ready for bed. And by getting ready for bed, I mean I’m brushing my teeth as she wipes off her makeup. We haven’t even kissed yet, though we’ve been close a few times! We keep getting interrupted. I guess our relationship is odd in the way that we still sleep together in the same bed every night but we haven’t kissed yet. Well, I mean obviously we kissed before the accident, but you know what I mean….

“Well I still have to talk to my manager about it and audition and everything. I don’t even know if I’ll do it with everything going on here-” I begin after I finish brushing my teeth.

“What does that mean? ‘Everything going on here’?”, she asks furrowing her brows a little. Now at this point I know I have to choose my words carefully or I’ll just be digging myself a deep, deep, deep hole.

“Well, I wanna be able to be here with you. And who knows? Maybe something will happen soon regarding Louis and Eleanor that I want to be around for…”

“Do you know something I don’t know?! Why the hell would Louis tell you and not me? I’m his best friend!” she turns to face me for the first time, “OH MY GOSH! IS HE GONNA PROPOSE TO ELEANOR?!”, she yells in her adorable American accent.

I can feel my cheeks blush, a dead giveaway when I’m lying, “No, I mean, I can’t say. Just, ask Louis next time we see him.”

“Oh I most definitely will.” I know I don’t even need to remind her to obviously not say anything to Eleanor because I just know she definitely won’t. Bella’s just good like that. “But anyways, I really think you should talk to your manager more about that role in the movie. It really does sound amazing Harry.” she sits on the bathroom counter as she continues talking to me.

“Well maybe I’ll talk to them. It’s just my first break in like six years and I wanted to spend it with you. I don’t wanna miss a thing when it comes to you baby.” I stand in front of her feeling a little cheeky. It’s been too long since I’ve tasted her lips on mine and she looks unbelievably gorgeous without makeup. She’s undeniably the most beautiful and perfect girl I’ve laid eyes on.

Bella snakes her arms around me, her face hinting a sly smile. I take the liberty of pressing my forehead to her’s, but we haven’t taken our eyes off of each other yet. “We’ve only been on one date Styles. What exactly are your intentions?” she flirts with that sneaky smile again.

“I think it’ll just be easier to show you, you’ll see.” I flirt right back to her. I lean forward as she holds me closer with her arms still snaked around my neck. We close our eyes, anticipating the moment we both know is about to come, and her lips are finally almost on mine again…. before we’re once again interrupted by a phone call.

She jumps and slides off the counter to go dig her phone out of it’s hiding spot in the messy sheets of our unmade bed. I’m left standing alone in the bathroom directly next to our room, ready to kill whoever is on that phone and interrupted us.

“Hi Mark!”, Bella greets her brother happily. Okay, maybe I won’t be able to kill him. Definitely can’t kill him, I take that part back. But I’m still annoyed though. I lean on the bathroom door frame watching Bella talk to her brother on the phone, “Oh no! It isn’t too late here, you didn’t interrupt anything!” she winks to me as she tries to contain a laugh as she says that last part, “So, how are you doing?”

I guess I should probably leave them alone to catch up. So I walk downstairs to the kitchen and get a glass of water. I have some serious thinking to do about this movie deal. I can stay in London with my beautiful Bella and miss out on this opportunity that has the potential to be amazing or I can go and take a chance with my first acting job. I just don’t know.

“What’re you thinking about?”, Bella surprises me at the door.

“The movie.”, I state simply. She nods and walks towards to sit on the counter next to me.

“Harry, if I didn’t think that you should do it, you know I’d be honest and tell you. But I’m not saying that. I really think you should do it, even if it means we won’t see each other every day for the next year.” she pauses briefly, “We can make it through that. And ask anyone, they’ll tell you that you should do it!”

“Okay fine you convinced me. I’ll at least talk to management about it and audition. Then we’ll take it from there.”, I look next to me to see her smiling at me which I involuntarily return with ease. “So what did Mark have to say?”

“We were just catching up.” She glances at me as I nod urging her to continue. I can tell there’s something more, “Don’t be mad but, we were talking about going to see my mom.”

I feel my heart drop. “I just need closure Harry! With everything that’s happened about my dad, I just need to see her. And Mark promised to come with me, so you don’t even need to go and see her because I know you don’t like her and I don’t want to upset my mom because I want to fix whatever I can of what happened when my dad died-”

And that’s when I leaned forward, pressing my lips to her’s to get her to stop rambling. And it feels like I’ve been missing a part of me, a puzzle piece. But when our lips touched, that piece fits back into my puzzle perfectly.
