No Regrets

*LIZZIE'S POV*


By the time Harry and I made it back to Liam’s flat, the party was in full swing- we could hear it as soon as the elevator doors opened. After a quick kiss from Harry, he wrapped his arm around my shoulders as we walked through the doors together.

“LOOK THE BIRTHDAY GIRL IS FINALLLYYYY HERE!” Louis cried out, running from his conversation he was having to come over and hug me.

“Hello Louis,” I said with a smile as I watched his eyes travel between me and Harry.

“Oh, so you two…?” He trailed off before he elbowed Harry while sliding him a quick wink.

“Not now Louis,” Harry muttered with a smirk.

“EVERYONE, EXCUSE ME, BOYS AND GIRLS,” Louis yelled, standing up on the nearest chair as all heads turned to face him. “I’D JUST LIKE TO EXTEND A WARM WELCOME TO OUR HAPPY COUPLE, ESPECIALLY THE LADY OF THE NIGHT- OUR OWN BIRTHDAY GIRL, LIZZZIIEEEEE!” I blushed and hid my face against Harry’s chest as cheers resounded throughout the room.

“C’mon let’s get you two some drinks!” Zayn approached us as the party-goers returned to whatever they were doing, and Louis drunkenly dismounted his chair.

“No thank you, though.” I said, as Zayn turned back to me, “I just don’t want to drink tonight.”

“Then I’m not either,” Harry said, confidently with a smile towards me.

“No, Harry, it’s okay,” I tried to reason with him, but he shushed me.

“No, trust me, if you’re not then I don’t want to either.” He said before he planted a quick kiss on the top of my head.

*HARRY’S POV*

“So, do you wanna go back to my flat..?” I whispered into her ear as we cuddled on the couch. We were the last people at Liam’s- us, along with Liam, Danielle, Louis, Eleanor, Zayn, and Niall.

“Sure,” she said with a slight groan, “I’m so tired, I just don’t feel like moving.” She snuggled into my side, slightly tickling me.

“Well then I’ll carry you; it’s just down the hallway.” I said, standing with her still in my arms. She was light, so it was easy to carry her bridal-style.

“I’ve just realized that I’ve never been to your place before.” She said with a small smile.

“Well I’m glad you’re finally coming now.” I said, before we said our quick goodbyes, and I walked down the hall.

“This is it, welcome to my home!” I said as she hopped out of my arms when I opened the door to my flat.

“Harry, this place is incredible!” She said, walking around and looking at my pictures and such. I immediately felt a bit self conscious as she made her way to my family and baby pictures.

“C’mon love, let’s just get to bed.” I said as I wrapped my arms around her from behind, resting my head in the crook of her neck as she placed down the picture she was holding of me and my mom. I took her hand and led her to my bedroom.

“Here, you can borrow some of my clothes for tonight,” I said, handing her a t-shirt as I began to undress. My eyes never wandered from her body as she peeled off her dress and slid the t-shirt on over her head.

“Enjoying the view much?” She said with a small smirk. Removing my gaze from where it was resting on her thighs, I nodded before I followed her into the bathroom.

When we finally got into bed, I snuggled up against her as I draped my arm around waist, pulling her closer into my body.

“Liz?” I whispered.

“Mhm..?”

“Well, this is about what Louis said at the party… I just wanted to make sure with you…” I propped myself up on my elbow as she rolled over onto her back, looking up at me. “Well, Liz, what I’m trying to say is, will you be my girlfriend?”

“So, first you kiss me and say you love me, and then you ask me to be your girlfriend again?” she whispered with a smirk as she raised one hand to play with my curls. “It’s like when you asked me out AFTER we slept together. You do things really out of order, but I like it.” I chuckled a bit at her reference.

“Of course, Harry, I’ll be your girlfriend.” She said before she planted a kiss on my lips. “Now let me sleep. I’m really tired.” She rolled over onto her side again and snuggled back into me. I fell asleep with my face in her hair, breathing in her smell and listening to her soft breathing.

“Wake up, love,” Harry whispered as he traced circles on my arm. Groaning, I rolled over before I finally opened my eyes. He planted a quick kiss on my lips before smiling down at me- dimples on full display. “Good morning… we have guests.” I was confused, but I didn’t have a second to think before EVERYONE burst in through the door.

“GOOD MORRRNNNINNNNGGGGG” was chorused throughout the room as Zayn, Liam, Niall, Louis, Danielle, and Eleanor all filed in.

“We counted to forty, like you said, and then it was fair game. I came in.” Louis said, as I sat up in the bed, using the duvet to cover my chest because I wasn’t wearing a bra in the tshirt.

“Okay, well you two get out of bed, we have breakfast cooking!” Danielle said before she skipped out of the room, followed by Liam.

“Okay, everyone out!” Harry said, before he rolled out of bed in just his tight boxers. I finally stood up and found my bra as Harry tossed me a pair of his massive sweatpants to put on. We walked into the kitchen to find Danielle and Liam behind the counter at the stove, and everyone else just lounging around- except Zayn was on his phone. I sat down at the counter while Harry began to make some tea.

“Want some, love?” he asked, turning to me.

“Sure, I’d love some.” Niall said, causing us all to laugh as Zayn quickly motioned us to quiet down.

“All right. Sounds good. Thanks. Bye” Zayn said, hanging up and coming over to the counter.

“What’d they say?” Eleanor said, getting up from the couch with Louis and walking over to the rest of us.

“Announcement’s set for tomorrow at 1:00.” He said, sounding pretty excited.

“What announcement?” I asked, confused. All eyes turned to Harry.

“Well... we’ve scheduled a worldwide stadium tour for most of 2014…” he said, scanning my face for a reaction. “We’re announcing it at a press conference tomorrow. The time was just confirmed.” Everyone was dead silent as they awaited my reaction.

“Y’ALL THAT’S AWESOME!” I finally said, pushing my thoughts of losing Harry to the back of my mind. “That’s so incredible! A stadium tour?? Jesus.” A sigh of relief was exhaled throughout the room as the rest of the boys got all psyched up, thinking about it. Danielle and Eleanor shot me knowing glances before Harry wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me into him and planting a kiss on my cheek.

“I love you,” he whispered into my ear, his curls tickling my neck.

“I love you, too.” I said, finally realizing how scared that statement made me feel...
