How can you love me?
Something Clicked
Harry’s POV
I tackle Louis in the kitchen while Ana stands next to us with her freshly bandaged arm. I’ll admit it. I was showing off. Louis rolls on top of me but I quickly get him in a headlock. He taps my thigh so I let go and stand up. I throw my hands up and turn in a slow circle as if to millions of screaming fans.
“I am the best fighter in the world!” I announce with my back to Ana and facing Louis still on the ground.
“I kinda doubt that,” Ana whispers in my ear. I get shivers where her breath touches my skin. I want to be closer to her, but before I can turn to face her, she kicks out my knee dropping me to it quickly. She puts her foot on my back and pushes while she grabs my arm and pulls it up between my shoulder blades. “I’m a third degree black belt.” I laugh at how she could get the upper hand easily.
I hear Louis get up and stand next to her.
“Like I said. I’m going to like this girl.” Ana releases me and I stand up.
“I wasn’t ready. It wasn’t a fair tackle, and you are SO NOT a black belt. If we were to actually fight I would beat you so bad,” I lie. She has got some serious muscle. She could probably take all 5 of us!
“Prove it,” she says while beckoning us into the living room. “Try and take me down.” Last night I made her a promise that I would stop walking on eggshells. I nod to Louis.
“Let’s do this.” We go around her so we’re standing on either side of us.
“Now!” Louis yells and we both rush her. She takes a step back and I run head first into my mate. We get our bearings and try to grab her again. This time she does a sweeping kick and knocks us both to our bums at the same time. She stands over us with a smirk.
“Believe me now?” she asks confidently. I like seeing this side of her. She’s strong and confident instead of small and terrified. I look up in awe and again, find myself staring. How can I not? She is just so beautiful. I didn’t think it was possible for her to get even more so, but she did.
She reaches her hand down to me while Louis is lying flat on his back with his eyes closed playing dead. I accept her help and I’m only an inch away from her. I look down into her eyes while I put my arm around her waist. I can tell this startles her. She wasn’t expecting it.
“Don’t worry Love,” I whisper as I lean my head down. Our lips are about to touch when she pulls back. She shakes her head and kneels over by Louis who is in the same position when I was about to kiss Ana. Man am I an idiot or what?!
“You’re fine.” There was no question in her tone. She just pokes him in his side. He convulses and she giggles. Louis is the most ticklish person I know. She sits on his stomach and starts tickling him until tears are running down his cheeks and he begs for mercy. I smile at the sight of her enjoying herself. Something seemed to have clicked in her that I wouldn’t put her in danger. Even though Louis looks like this ‘Doc’ guy (whoever the hell he was,) she was still rolling around with him.
