Skye

My head was throbbing as I continued to puke up everything I had ingested the night before. I knew I would regret everything I had had last night but I still did it anyway. I heard the bathroom door open and I glanced up to see a tired Harry walking in with aspirin and water. I groaned at him in thanks before quickly taking the tablets and sculling the water.

He walked behind me and sat down wrapping his legs around me and rubbed my back soothingly. I groaned again and leant back into his chest closing my eyes and willing the nausea in my stomach to pass.

Harry kissed my temple before eventually helping me up and into the shower. He actually left me alone in there which is a surprise because normally if Harry is around while I’m naked, well he definitely just doesn’t leave me.

I felt better after the shower and walked out to see Harry lying on the bed staring up at the ceiling, he turned to look at me before sitting up and staring at me. I shifted uncomfortably under his stare.

“What?” I asked confused. He narrowed his eyes at me.

“Don’t what me. Do you know how angry I was when I showed up at a club to find my girlfriend flirting with another guy,” He said lowering his voice making me shiver at the sound of it.

“What are you talking about?” I asked confused, I didn’t want to admit it but I didn’t actually remember much of last night.

“I showed up and a guy was asking you to dance!” I remembered that part.

“He just bought me a drink Harry,” I protested.

“Yeah because he was just trying to get into your pants!”

“It’s not like I would have went there even in my drunken state,” I huffed annoyed even though I knew I was in the wrong. Harry groaned and raked his fingers through his hair roughly.

“I hate what you do to me! I hate that I get so jealous easily when it comes to you,” he moaned before standing up and giving me a long and forceful kiss. I happily kissed him back wrapping my arms around his neck.

“You’re mine,” He said softly but sternly to me resting his forehead against mine. I giggled softly.

“Yes caveman,” I replied. He grinned largely showing his dimples before kissing me again.

“You will not be able to guess what I just saw!” Tate announced barging into mine and Harry’s room. Harry groaned and looked at her clearly annoyed. She just ignored him.

“What?” I asked her curiously.

“Lacey just walked out of Zayn’s flat!” My mouth literally dropped open as I tried to think of possibilities as to why, other than the obvious.

“Maybe she just stayed the night at his to sleep?” Harry offered. I looked at him incredulous, out of everyone I would have just thought he would be okay with the fact that they slept together, would probably congratulate Zayn or something.

“She had sex hair!” Tate further explained as Niall walked into the room laughing at his girlfriend. “She did!”
I merely stood there watching her as I gaped at them.

“Skye?” Harry asked pushing my chin up.

“I’m really trying to fight against going down there and harassing Zayn about it,” I sighed knowing it wasn’t really any of our business.

“Good idea,” Tate said beginning to walk out of the room. Niall’s arms went around her waist and pulled her back into him so she couldn’t get out no matter how much she squirmed.

“He’s a big boy and she’s a big girl. They are allowed to do what they want,” Niall explained softly to Tate, she stopped moving and glared at him.

“Yeah but that big girl is engaged,” I added on sitting down on the edge of the bed.

“What?!” Niall and Harry both exclaimed looking over at me. I sighed.

“Lacey is engaged to some guy her parents set her up for,” I explained to them. “He’s rich, has a good job and respected family. In Lacey’s families eyes he’s the perfect man. Except they don’t love each other, they’re not even friends. They have nothing in common and most of the time he’s out of the country working so Lacey hasn’t even got to know him.”

“An arranged marriage?” Niall asked incredulous. I nodded at him.

“Do you think Zayn knows?” Tate asked. I shrugged.

“It’s not up to us to tell him, they can talk it out. It might have just been a one night stand anyway,” Harry stated as I looked at him shocked. “Stay out of this one Skye!” He warned me. I pouted.

“Let them sort this out, I mean it,” Harry glared down at me. I sighed before nodding knowing he was right. Lacey had been a good friend over the year and Zayn was my family but I understood when they needed their privacy.

“Thank you,” Harry said softly. “Niall and I have stuff to do though, so I’ll see you later,”

Harry leant down and kissed me and left the room before I could ask any questions about his extremely vague statement.

“What was that about?” I asked Tate. She just shrugged at me.

“Wanna watch some movies?”

“Sure, that’s all my stomachs really up for anyway,” I groaned standing up and following her into the lounge room. Eleanor was already there with Danielle.

“Hey where are your boys?” I asked sitting down on the couch next to Dani.

“Out together I guess,” she said shrugging and focusing on the TV. I grew annoyed at the vague responses but the pain in my stomach distracted me from caring.

I saw my phone on the table and that I had messages from Lacey, Emma and Kirra asking how I felt this morning. I replied to Lacey first.

From: Skye Jackson
I’m fine. How did you get home??

From: Laceyy
That’s good, I caught a cab home

From: Skye Jackson
From the club?

From: Laceyy
Yeah

If frowned at her lie, I thought that we were close enough that she would tell me.

“What are you doing?” Dani asked leaning over to stare at my phone.

“Just talking to Lace,” I replied staring at her text.

“Are you going to ask her about this morning?” Dani asked looking up at me. “I was standing with Tate when we saw her leave.”

I suddenly got a plan. Smiling at Dani I quickly typed a text to Lacey asking her to come over for tea tonight, just a girl’s night. She replied quickly saying she would love to.

“Do the boys know you’re kicking them out?”

“Nope, because I’m not, I’m inviting them for dinner as well,” I told Dani waiting for her to understand my genius plan. El and Tate watched us both cautiously.

“So you’re making them interact in front of us all while only just sleeping together the night before?”

“Precisely,” I grinned largely as Dani slowly grinned back.

“You’re so evil,” El muttered turning her eyes back to the TV.

“Harry’s going to kill you,” Tate said smirking at the TV.

“Harry’s not going to know. It’s merely going to be a coincidence that is all,” I said believing in my plan 100%. I just wanted to know what was going on between them both and to maybe help them figure it out. And well I was being completely nosy.

-

As Lacey arrived that night I told her innocently that the boys were in fact staying for dinner and it wouldn’t just be a girl’s night. I watched slightly disappointed as no reaction came out of her but a mere nod and smile before she walked into the room.

I was however satisfied as Zayn looked up from the game he was playing with the boys. The moment he saw her he smirked before instantly turning back to his game. At least there was some recognition.

My mind however was distracted from Zayn and Lacey as all throughout dinner Harry had been extremely silent with me. I watched him suspiciously as we ate. He avoided my gaze at all cost but every now and then he would brush his hand or leg against me whether it was to assure himself that I was there or to show me that he still cared, I didn’t know. But I was getting the feeling that whatever the secret was it was where he had been all day with the boys.

As I went to get dessert Harry grabbed wine instead saying that he needed to make a toast. I watched him curiously as he poured everyone a glass. He then looked at me and smiled largely.

“I know you know I’m hiding something,” he told me smiling cheekily. I narrowed my eyes at him in response. He then handed me an envelope and motioned for me to open it. I glanced around at everyone as they all watched my face eagerly. Sighing I began to slowly open the envelope.

There were a few things inside. I pulled out the photos first. It was photos of a house. Quite a large house was a more accurate word. It was beautiful none the less. I glanced up at Harry confused as he motioned for me to keep looking. I glanced back down at the other papers. I noticed that they were formal documents.

I glanced through the papers and saw Harry’s name signed down the bottom as well as someone else’s. There was a blank spot next to Harry’s. My eyes widened slightly as I read through the document properly. My mouth dropped open as I saw the words deed, purchased and property. I glanced from Harry to the documents a couple of times before grabbing the photos and sifting through them with more interest.

“You bought a house?” I asked shocked, finally being able to speak.

“We bought a house,” Harry corrected winking at me. He came over and knelt down next to my chair looking me directly in the eye.

“I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you in that house,” He said motioning towards the pictures. “Without Lou.”

I laughed as Louis scoffed.

“So do you like it?” Harry asked unsure. I smiled widely.

“I love it!” I exclaimed throwing my arms around him. He instantly stood up and held onto me tightly. “I can’t believe you did this,” I whispered into his ear completely shocked not being able to wipe the smile of my face.

“Well believe it because tomorrow we are getting the keys to our new home,” he said pulling back to look into my eyes.

“Tomorrow?” I asked confused. “But you only just got back from tour, how have you had time to do all this?”

“I may have set this all up while I was on tour,” He said sheepishly. I smiled at him and leant forward pressing my lips to his.

“I know this is a touching moment and everything but can we drink now?” Louis called over to us making us laugh. We both grabbed our drinks and raised our glasses cheesily clinking them together before taking a drink. Harry’s arm around my waist tightened and pulled me into him as he smiled down at me and I up at him. I couldn’t stop my smile getting larger.

“I love you,” I told him.
