by: idRatherBwith1D Harry guided me through the people, firmly grasping my hand. We got in and it opened up. It was a fairly formal event, but I knew the formalities wouldn't last long. The boys had to go talk to some people to build up some good PR before they joined us again. Harry was still talking to a very eccentric looking man when most of the guys came back. One by one all the guys asked one of us to dance, starting with Zayn and Melissa. Emily had gone to the bathroom so it was just me and Liam after Louis swept Brooke away.
Liam: Since our dates are busy shall we dance?
I laughed and placed my hand in his that he held out.
Me: We shall.
It was mostly party music for a while, but then a slow song came on. I looked around for Harry, but he was still talking to that man, he must be important. I saw the other 3 couples slow dancing and when I turned back to Liam he took a step towards me.
Liam: May I?
I smiled.
Me: Of course.
He set his hand on my hip and held my free hand. We were really close and I could smell his cologne. I looked up and my eyes met his. I blushed and looked back at the floor. That didn't just happen. I'm completely happy with Harry, but I felt it. That same spark as when we first met. I pushed the thought from my head. Liam stopped moving and I looked up.
Harry: May I cut in?
Liam released me and Harry's hands took his place. I drew close to Harry and rested my head on his shoulder. I saw Emily reappear and Liam took her to the dance floor. He had her and I had Harry. I closed my eyes to shut out the thoughts. The song ended soon and I looked at Harry. He was all smiles. He put his hands on my face and drew me into a long, gentle kiss. We parted and I smiled weakly in return. He saw the look in my eyes.
Harry: What's wrong babe?
Me: Nothing I'm just tired, that's all.
I lied. This was not the time to have second thoughts. He started to say something and I stopped him with a light kiss.
Me: I'm fine, but do we have to stay here?
I wasn't in the mood to club dance and I didn't want to be around Liam.
Harry: I guess we don't have to be here anymore.
Me: We could watch a movie in your room.
Harry: Are you sure you don't want to stay here with your friends?
I nodded and Harry went to tell the rest that we were leaving. He came back soon and led me back to the cab, which was waiting for us. Once we got back we walked up a flight of stairs and into his room.
Me: Oh my. Seriously Harry?
Harry: Sorry I wasn't expecting guests.
I tried to follow him in without stepping on something.
Me: How do you find anything to wear?
He smiled cheekily.
Harry: Magic.
It looked like a tornado had come through. There were clothes everywhere. We found a small couch in the wreckage and plopped onto it.
Me: When are you guys leaving for London?
Harry: Tomorrow
Me: When do you plan on packing?
Harry: Tomorrow?
I gave him a look and stood up.
Me: Come on
Harry: Come on what?
Me: Let's get this place cleaned up. It will take you hours by yourself.
He stood up and really close to me.
Harry: You're amazing.
Me: I know. Now let's get to work.
We goofed off while we cleaned up, throwing things at each other and running around. I tapped him on the shoulder.
Me: Tag, you're it.
He swatted at me, but missed. He chased me around the whole hotel room and ended up grabbing me from behind and spinning me around. I squealed.
Me: Harry!
We fell onto the couch with Harry on top of me, breathing hard and laughing. I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck.
Me: Kiss me you fool.
He did, which, as most of our kisses did, led to making out, which isn't quite as innocent in a short dress, lying on a couch. His arm went down from my hips to my thighs and I felt his hand slip under my dress. I pulled away.
Me: Harry!
Harry: What?
Me: You know my boundaries.
Harry: But Shay...
Me: No buts...We shouldn't have done that anyway.
Harry: Sweetheart.
Me: I should go.
I grabbed my bag and headed for the door. He kept saying things to me, but I cut him off.
Me: It's okay. I get it, but you need to pack and I have studying to do.
I kissed him on the cheek and headed down the stairs. I almost got in a cab, but then I saw Rose and Brooke in her car.
Me: What are you guys doing here?
Rose: We just dropped the guys off and saw you come out. Are you ok?
Me: Yeah. I'm fine.
I hopped in the back and rode quietly all the way back to Rose's house. I hurriedly changed into baggie jammies. We watched a movie and I spent the night over there.
