If I Lay Here
Chapter 30
Harry’s POV
Since I finally told Ally I love her, I had not been able to wipe that stupid grin off my face. I was overwhelmed. Nothing else mattered to me at this very moment except for her.
It was ten o’clock and Louis was pulling into some club…I think. Like I said, all that mattered to me was the stunning girl, in her new pink dress, clinging to my arm as we walked through a sea of paps. As soon as we stepped through the doors, my ears were blasted with the music pulsing through the surround sound. Louis dragged us to a table in the back of the VIP section before leaving with Niall to get some drinks and soda.
I lightly sipped on my beer, not wanting to get smashed in front of Ally. I had actually asked for a water, but Louis would have none of that. Honestly, I felt the music getting louder by the second. It was somewhat hard to hear Zayn’s story. I was having a hard time concentrating on it when someone slid in next to me.
“Oi! Styles! Long time no see!” Andy Samuels called over the music while running a hand through his blond hair. I smiled, clapping a hand on his shoulder before he turned to the rest of us.
“Andy!” Liam exclaimed.
“Hey Paynester, Dani…Lou, Eleanor, Zayn, Niall, and…?” Andy’s gaze fell on Ally, but she didn’t realize. She was too busy playing with condensation on her glass. Her slender fingers would slide across to catch the beads of sweat dripping every so often. Niall gave her side a little nudge and her head instantly snapped up and back into reality.
“OH! I’m Ally!” She said, holding her hand out for Andy which he graciously accepted.
“Is she yours mate?” He asked me. I nodded while pulling Ally closer to my side.
“He dropped the ‘L’ word today!” Louis exclaimed. I could immediately feel my cheeks fill with color. He just had to go and announce it to the whole table. Everyone around us cheered.
“Ooo. Taking a big step in the relationship are we Harold!” Andy teased along side me. I rubbed the bridge of my nose between my pointer and thumb out of pure embarrassment. Suddenly, I felt a small hand rest on my knee under the table. When I looked I noticed it belonged to Ally.
“Want to go dance?” I whispered in Ally’s ear once I was sure everyone had dropped the subject of my love life. Startled, Ally jumped, smacking her nose on my forehead. “Are you okay!?” I frantically whispered as she held her nose and laughed.
“I’m fine. I’m fine!” She assured me. I held her head between my hands and examined for any blood, bumps, or bruising while she giggled away. When I saw she was fine, I lightly linked my lips to hers. The kiss was brief, but all I needed as far as reassurance. “How about that dance?” She whispered in my ear. I slid out of the booth, with her in tow, and dragged her to the dance floor before anything else could happen.
This club was really crowded tonight. I held Ally with her back pressed against my chest. We began to simply sway side to side even though the song wasn’t slow at all. My hands wrapped around Ally’s body and she held on. Her head relaxed back against my chest. I rested my head on her shoulder, applying soft kisses along her neck and jaw line. We stayed like that; swaying with each other. Intimate. Slow. Together.
As the night went on, everything in my vision began to get hazy. I suppose I let Louis pass me one too many drinks. Still, I think besides Liam and Ally, I was the least drunk. I mean, Louis was absolutely smashed! I was just a little blurry is all. I had momentarily left Ally with Liam at the booth while I went for a wee. When I returned, Louis had joined the two as well.
“HARRY!” He shouted as I approached the booth.
“BOO!” I shouted back, sliding in next to Ally. Her lips were pressed into a smirk. It looked as if she was trying to suppress giggles over something Louis must have said.
“Allyson and I have some terrible news for you.” Louis slurred, reaching across the table to take my hands in his. I flashed Ally a sideways glance to find her struggling to contain her laughter even more.
“Oh really?” I wondered, raising an eyebrow towards him.
“While you were having a wee-wee, Allyson over here told me that she’s been in love with me since I drove her home that day. My breathtaking eyes and devilishly handsome good looks are too much to ignore.” Louis explained, flipping his hair for added dramatic effect. Then he nodded to Ally, as if to remind her she had a line.
“Let’s run away together Louis!” She exclaimed, placing her hands on her heart and releasing a sigh.
“I miss a lot when I got to the toilets don’t I?” I remarked while letting out a loud chuckle. I glanced across the table to Liam who was sat next to Louis. He was shaking his head at the three of us in amusement while he sipped on his water. That’s what I needed. Water. My hazy eyes scanned the table for a bottle, knowing Liam or Ally had bought several throughout the course of the night.
“Here.” Ally’s voice broke through my cloudy mind. I looked down to her hand where she held a bottle out to me.
“Thank you, love.” I said. I could taste her strawberry lip balm along the top of the bottle as I drank. The taste made my mind flicker to idea this is what her lips would taste like if I pressed mine to hers right now. My body seemed to react to my thoughts. My hand reached up to brush all of her blond hair to one side. Slowly, I brought my lips down to the very corner of her jaw line where I placed a soft kiss. I felt her body nearly tremble or at least shiver from the contact. “Are you cold?”
“You made me shiver.” She muttered, a blush creeping up to her already rosy cheeks. My lips curved into a sly grin. The fact I had caused the chill coursing through her body made this all the more interesting.
“When I do what? This?” I asked before pressing another kiss in the same spot as the last.
“Yes! Now stop it!” Ally said with a giggle. God, I love her giggles. As a matter of fact, I love everything about her. I love that when she laughs her nose scrunches up and her eyes squint in the most adorable way. I love that her lips curve in all the right ways. I love that all of these reactions are caused by me. Just talking to her these past few minutes was sobering me up. She was able to pull me up from wherever I drift off to.
I began to lean in to give her another kiss when her warm lips pressed themselves just below my ear. A smooth shiver coursed through me causing Ally’s melody of giggles ring through the incredibly noisy club. I could still hear her though. It was if my senses were tuned into every aspect of her being.
“You’re making me shiver now!” I exclaimed. Ally grasped my face in the palms of her small hands so I was eye to eye with her while she laughed. Like I had mentioned, her nose was slightly crinkled, her eyes were squinted, and her lips were curved upward delicately. I took hold of her hands and pulled them from my cheeks to in front of my eyes. Suddenly, something caught my eye. The colored windows at the top of the club seemed to be dripping, almost like lava lamps. Perfect. Without a second thought, I began pulling her from the booth.
“Where are we going?” Ally called in excitement as I navigated us through the sea of people dancing on the main floor. I kept her as close as possible, shielding her body from the masses of sweaty people dancing on top of one another. My eyes scanned above the heads of everyone, trying to find the one word I needed. Finally, I saw the it lit only about twenty feet away. Taking Ally with me, I moved towards the door, shoving it open to reveal the rain I expected.
“Harry…”Ally cautiously called out to me as I stepped further into the English rain. Droplets began to soak my hair and cause the fabric of my white t-shirt to cling to my skin. Ally remained sheltered by the door frame; her arms crossed in front of her chest, but a smile on her lips as she watched me. I offered my hand to her, beckoning her to join me.
Hesitantly, Ally stepped towards me. The rain instantly covered her the way it covered me. She reached my open arms in a matter of seconds and I wrapped her up immediately.
“You’re silly,” she commented while tapping my nose with the tip of her pointer finger. I smiled down at her before lightly linking my lips to hers. Our lips moved together in familiarity; mine working slowly and deeply against her gentle lips. One of my hands rested in her hip while the other held itself at the nape of her neck, both holding her as close to me as possible. I could feel my curls dripping and brushing against her forehead, tickling the tops of our noses every so often. My tongue swiped her bottom lip and she allowed it’s entrance. Soon, we were both just lost in the kiss, lost in the love. I loosely pulled away, making sure there was no more than a millimeter of distance between us.
“Just like our first kiss.” I mumbled against her lips before giving her another swift peck.
Since I finally told Ally I love her, I had not been able to wipe that stupid grin off my face. I was overwhelmed. Nothing else mattered to me at this very moment except for her.
