{ANNA’S POV}

We walked towards Harry’s house, holding each other’s hands. It was really getting cold and I was wearing the same clothes that Gemma had given me earlier which was a skirt and a jumper. I was even weaing her shoes which luckily fitted me and while walking Harry had put his beanie on my head which helped to warm my freezing ears but I was still literally freezing from head to toe.

As we reached the gates, I quickly ran ahead and went straight in the house to the fireplace. I was freezing and I was in desperate need to get warm. I suddenly felt pair of arms wrap themselves around my waist. I didn’t have to look round to see who the person was. I felt Harry’s chin rest on the crook of my neck and his cheek touched my hair.

“You left me in the cold, all alone.” He complained.

“Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I had something more important than you that I desperately needed.” I replied sarcastically.

“Really?”

“Yup.”

“And here I was hoping that I made it to your list at first position.”

“Don’t get your hopes too high, Styles. You will have to do a lot of hard work to get on the first position.” I smirked.

“Are there any shortcuts?”

“Nope.” I replied and he turned me around.

“Are you sure?” He asked as he moved closer to me.

“Yes.” I replied as I gulped down. He leaned towards me, our face just inches apart causing my heart to beat rapidly.

“Are you still sure, about no shortcuts?” He again asked in his deep, sexy voice and I just nodded my head, not sure if I could say something.

He leaned in, placing his lips on my mine and like every time, making my heart jump out of my chest. It was full of passion. My hands went around his neck to grab his hair while his hands held my waist pulling me closer to him. He bit my lower lip asking for entrance which I gladly gave him. He kissed me for a few more seconds; his tongue exploring my mouth and then he ducked his head and as his lips found my shoulder, placing soft kisses on my neck and shoulder and involuntarily I moaned. It took everything in me to pull away but finally managed to pull away.

“Harry, your whole family is in the next room.” I whispered as I rested my forehead against his.

“So?”

“I don’t think it will be appropriate if they will find us making out in their living room.”

“Ok, we can go to my bed room.” He smirked.

“Shut up.” I said as I playfully hit his chest.

“So, I was wondering about the shortcut thing and I think that maybe you just got under top ten.” I said as I laid my head on his chest.

“Really?” He asked in amused tone and I nodded his head. I felt his body vibrating as his laughed.

“Well then we should do this more often.” He said as he moved his hand up and down on my back, making me blush.

I heard someone cough, quickly pulled away from Harry and saw Gemma leaning against the door, grinning from ear to ear which just made me blush even harder and I was sure that I was as red as a tomato.

“Look, you two love birds are finally home.” She smirked.

“Well, we would have been home earlier if you had informed us earlier.” Harry scoffed.

“My bad.” She said as she raised her hands in surrender, the smile never leaving her face.

“But it seems my plan worked. Come on now, the dinner is getting cold.” She added as she smirked at us and then started walking inside.

“What plan, Harry?”

“Oh! Nothing, love. Let’s get dinner.” He said as he wrapped his hand around mine and started walking, pulling me along with him.

“Thank you, Anne for such a delicious dinner. I haven’t had something this wonderful since I have shifted to London.” I said as I finally finished my food. I had eaten way too much because it was really mouth-watering and I couldn’t control myself.

“You’re welcome Anna.” She said as she smiled at me.

“I thought our dinner was better.” Harry whispered in my ear and I couldn’t help but blush at his comment.

Seeing Harry’s family reminded me of mine. Our families had a lot in common. The brother and sister bond between Harry and Gemma just reminds me of mine and Andrew. Even the fights have love hidden in it for each other and by seeing how much Anne and Robin love each other; I couldn’t help thinking about my mom and dad. Inspite of being so busy all the time, somehow mom and dad find time to spend among them and with me and Andrew too. Mom and dad never fought in their entire life and even after so many years of being together, I still see the love in their eyes for each other and sometimes when I see them together I wish even I could find someone who would always love me no matter what happens. I turned to see Harry who looked at me at the same time and gave me a smile showing off his dimples. Maybe Harry was that person....

Maybe....

“What are you doing?” I heard Gemma ask me as I picked up my plate and got up.

“Keeping it in the kitchen.” I said confused.

“Put it down.” She ordered.

“Huh?”

“I said put it down.” She ordered again and I did as I was told.

“You don’t have to do any work.”

“Seriously?” I asked raising my eyebrow.

“Yes. We are not old people.” She said as she pointed at herself and Anne.

“So are you suggesting that I am old?” I asked.

“And me?” Robin asked.

“And me too?” Harry joined in.

“Who said that you are not going to work Harry?” Gemma asked him as he pouted.

“Go pick up your plate and Anna’s and keep it in the kitchen.” Anne said to Harry who again pouted like a little kid.

“Who do you love more, me or her?” Harry asked as he pointed at me.

“Go.” Anne ordered.

“Fine.” Harry said after giving up.

“Anne, its fine. I can keep it, myself.” I said.

“Not going to happen.” She said as she smiled at me.

“Harry, go.” She added, which made him get up, pick our plates and walk to the kitchen muttering about how they love me more which just made me giggle. He finally came back still sulking and sat beside me in his chair.

“Aw come on baby brother, grow up.” Gemma said as Harry gave her death glare and then yawned which made me yawn.

“You both must be really tired. It has been a long day.” Anne said and I totally agreed with her. It has been a long and tiring day... Fun but tiring too... All I wanted right now was someplace to crash; I wouldn’t even care if it is floor.

“Yeah.” Harry and I said together.

“You can sleep with me, Anna.” Gemma said smiling.

“OW!!” She suddenly yelled.

“Or maybe you can sleep with Harry. My room is a mess you know.” She added giving Harry death glares and I figured out that it was Harry who hit her.

“Can’t wait to sleep with me?” I whispered in his ear which made his choke on water that he was drinking.

“I think we should head to the room.” He said as he took last sip of water and I nodded.

“Goodnight Anne, Gemma, Robin.” I said as I got up from my chair.

“Goodnight.” They all said together.

“And once again, thank you for the lovely dinner Anne.” I said.

“You’re welcome dear.” She said with a smile on her face.

“You coming, Anna?” Harry yelled.

“Yes.” I yelled back as I started walking towards his room. I remember where his room was from earlier but it still took me some time. As I finally reached his room, I didn’t bother to knock and just barged in. As soon as I was inside the room, I was greeted by half naked Harry who was only dressed in a pair of black track pants, while his torso was uncovered. Involuntarily my eyes were drawn to his long torso, covered with tattoos, the two swallows stretched across his chest along with a butterfly and my eyes observed the incredible detail of the ink. His track hung low on his hips and revealed the well-defined cuts of his v-lines. His hair was disheveled. He grinned a half smile, revealing his dimples and pearly white teeth. Every time I looked at him I couldn’t help but stare like an idiot.... His beauty was breathtaking and maybe beyond that.... Totally indescribable....

“Seems you have become less shy because last time I remembered you wouldn’t even look at partially naked me.” He teased, and I had to force my eyes away from his torso and up to his face.

“You were only wearing boxers at that time and I wasn’t staring,” I lied.

“When did I say you were staring, you were drooling.”

“Whatever, you would like to think Harry. I was not staring.” I lied again because I was ready to give him the satisfaction that he was right even though he was.

“Anyways, do you have something for me to wear? I cannot sleep in these clothes and I don’t want to trouble Gemma again.” I asked as I flopped myself on the bed.

“Well, maybe you can sleep naked.” He suggested as he grinned.

“Not gonna happen Harry.” I spoke as I glared.

“It was suggestion.” He said as he turned around and searched for something to wear.

“No one asked you.” I muttered. Suddenly a cloth hit my face.

“So sound of you.” I scoffed as I removed the shirt and held it in my hand while he grinned.

“Where is the track?” I asked as he started walking toward me.

“You see I am wearing it.” He smirked.

“Seriously?”

“Yup, you were the shirt and I will wear the track.”

“Pervert.”

“What? You are my girlfriend.” He spoke.

“But that doesn’t mean that I will throw myself naked at you.” I said.

“Damn!!” He cursed and I just shook my head, smiling a little.

“Where is the bathroom?” I asked. His room had four doors connected to it.

“That one.” He said as he pointed at one of the doors. I quickly got up and opened the door.

“Seriously?” I asked as I turned back to look at him. The door I had opened connected the room to hallway.

“Sorry, sorry, it’s that one.” He said laughingly as he pointed towards another door.

“Better be, or else you are going to pay.” I threatened him which just made him laugh louder. I opened the door and fortunately it was the bathroom. So went inside, locked the door and quickly changed my clothes. The shirt fell to my mid thigh but I didn’t care because all I wanted right now was to sleep.

I came out, switching off the light. I saw Harry already lying on the bed with his hand behind his head and as soon as he saw me, a huge smile spread on his face.

“You look hot, in my shirt.” He remarked and I scoffed.

“Come on now. I am tired and I need to sleep.” He said as he patted the bed beside him. I quickly climbed on the bed and he pulled the duvet over us. I felt his hand wrap around my waist as he pulled me closer to him; making my back touch his chest. I turned my head to face him.

“Good nig-“

“Good night, Harry.” I whispered back and laid my head on the pillow cuddling closer to him.
