ANNABELLE POV

My IPhone rang. I immediately woke up in shock in the middle of a lovely dream. I tapped the screen as I tiredly spoke out
- “Hello?”
- “Good morning Annabelle. I’ve called you 3 times. Are you guys ready?” - “Good morning! No I’m literally still sleeping” I explained. I turned to my left side where Harry lay. He looked like an angel who slept peacefully. His plum lips were open just a tiny bit; I watched his chest move up and down as he breathed in and out. I caught myself smiling but then I noticed Mrs. Stinson kind of raised her voice in the phone. God she was so moody lately.

“Annabelle I’m talking to you. Are you still there? You need to be ready in 30 minutes”

“Oh I’m sorry. As I said I’m literally not even awake. We’ll be ready at time. I promise” I said and hung up. Damn it. I hated stressing mornings. All I wanted was to lie with Harry in our soft bed. He looked so adorable while he slept. I didn’t want to wake him up. I really enjoyed sleeping with him just like in the old days. I tried to get out of the bed quietly without disturbing him. Of course that didn’t go as planned. The boy could hear every step I took!

“Where are you goin’?” He mumbled. His eyes were still closed and his hand covered them.

“I’m going to get ready. We have to be at mrs. Stinson’s house in 30 minutes” I said as I unpacked my suitcase. Damn, where was my favorite top?!

“And you simply forgot to wake me up in the middle of your stress?” he asked ironically as he jumped out of the bed. He walked towards me and kissed my cheek; Good morning beautiful, he said.. Woah? What?

“Good morning Harold” I laughed. “ And no.. I just didn’t want to wake you up because you looked..” oh shut up Annabelle, shut up!

“I looked like what?” he smiled as he put on a white T-shirt.

“Yo..you l..looked cute” I replied. The words fumbled out of my mouth. It was so embarrassing for me to admit that he looked cute. I didn’t want to sound desperate or rush it once again. This time I wanted our relationship to be real. I wanted all of him. I wanted his kisses again, his smile, his dimples and unbelievable cute smile. I didn’t want to rush it, making him do something he might regret. A voice inside of me whispered that he was the one, that he was the right guy. It was almost like in the movies where you have an angel at your left shoulder and a devil on the other. The only exception was that the angel spoke louder than the devil. I was sure that Harry was my one and only.. Call me crazy but my feelings for him were now stronger than ever… and we had only been in Sweden for like 24 hours I wondered how the days would be now that we had to be around each other 24/7.

“Well thank you Ann. You don’t look bad yourself” he smirked and walked into the kitchen. “Great are we going to starve all day we have no food in here?” he yelled. I laughed and face palmed my head. We had forgotten everything about food and shopping. Guess we were too tired yesterday to think about that.

“Well I don’t know. We can grab something on our way to the studio” I yelled back as I fixed my makeup. Great – ready to go!

-

“I’m so so so so so so so excited Annabelle. I can’t wait to see the studio” Harry said as he squeezed my hand. Auch!

“Me too. I’m glad that we’re sharing this experience together” I confessed as we walked inside of the big building.

“Kids are you ready? This is it. We’re almost there!” Mr. Bolt said all happy as he pressed on the “4” bottom in the elevator. I started feeling the butterflies. Harry and I held hands all the way up to Bernard’s office. I guess it helped both of us to relax a little.

“Welcome to the studio” Bernad smiled and met us with a huge smile planted on his face.

“Thank you!” we both answered happily as we looked around in the studio. I felt like I was a professional singer who was about to record a new single. Now I knew how people like Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez felt like when they had to record a song!

“My plan for today is first to introduce you to the song. Then you’ll have some time to memorize the lyrics and by the end of today we’ll shoot it in the studio. Sounds great right? I actually have a surprise for you. I have two very talented coaches who will be helping and advising you the whole day.” Bernad explained. Wow I still tried to perceive that this was the real life. Harry and I were actually about to record our very first song!

We sat at a table by ourselves with the lyrics printed out on a paper.

Title: Almost Is Never Enough
I like to say we gave it a try I like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren’t right but that’s a lie, that’s a lie

And we can deny it as much as we want but in time our feelings will show
cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up the truth is everyone knows

Almost, almost is never enough so close to being in love. If I would have known that you wanted me the way I wanted you then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms

And we almost, we almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough

If I could change the world overnight there'd be no such thing as goodbye
You'll be standing right where you were and we'd get the chance we deserve
Try to deny it as much as you want but in time our feelings will show
Cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost, almost is never enough so close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me the way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn’t be two worlds apart but right here in each other's arms
Yeah we almost, we almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough

I whispered the words out loud. It sounded perfect. I already loved the song..
But the song reminded me of someone.. someone special. It wasn’t Zayn.. It was Harry!

“Maybe we just weren’t right but that’s a lie”..
It is a lie. My feelings get stronger every time I'm around Harry. Every time I feel his touch I get Goosebumps

“And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows”..

Everyone knows it. Our parents. Our teachers. Our friends and even our enemies know that we are inseparable. I can’t deny my feelings and I desperately hope that Harry feels the same way.


I felt someone staring at me so I looked up…
And these big green eyes met mine.
Harry smiled so much that his dimples showed.

“Do you like the song. It’s not like you’re whispering quietly” he laughed and obviously was referring to my whispering. Awkward! He had probably heard it all. Don’t blush Annabelle, don’t blush!

I giggled and covered my face with the paper.
“Harryyyy you’re not supposed to listen to me while I talk to myself” I said shyly.
“Come on. It’s me. You can tell me everything” he said as he took the paper out of my hands. “ Do you like the song missy?”

“I do. I really do” I confessed. “ Now give me the paper!” I demanded.
“How come you like it?”
"Well because the lyrics are amazing. It’s a sweet love song”
“Sweet? So it’s only sweet?”

He was totally trying to get something out of me!

“Well yeah?” I acted like the song didn’t mean anything to me.
“So you don’t find it relatable?”

As soon as he said that I totally lost my “good” façade.

“Okay you got me. It’s pretty amazing and relatable” I admitted which caused Harry to smile even more. “ Great that was all I wanted to know” he said and continued reading.

It was so obvious and inevitably that I would fall even more in love with Harry after this trip. I really tried to behave but I just wanted to kiss him and tell him how much the lyrics spoke to us. It was like a sign.. A sign to get back together!?

“Are you ready to record the song guys? The coaches will be here in two hours so we have some time to record” Bernad said as he handled us two cups of coffee. “Are you ready?” Harry said and looked at me while he sipped the coffee. “I’m born ready” I replied and smirked. Our teachers and even Bernad laughed. “Great we’ll start with you then” Bernad said.

Oh shiitt….

I stepped into the "box" put the headphones on and waiting for Bernad to give me sign to start singing. Harry sent me thumbs up and took pictures while I gave him the best pose ever.

“And in .. one.. two. Three.. sing!” Bernad said. And so I did..

-

“Perfect Annabelle” they all clapped as I came out of the “box”. I high fived Harry and then it was his turn.

“Nice job” Mrs. Stinson said happily while she hugged me. Harry started singing and Mr. Bolt’s face expression changed in the same second. You could tell by miles away that he was impressed. Bernad was quite impressed too. He had a look on his face that outshined satisfaction. I was proud of Harry. Not once did Bernad tell him to sing a verse twice.
I was more than happy. I loved Harry’s voice. He had this amazing raspy voice with a touch of accent in it. It was amazing. That was my boy!.. Did I just say that?

“He is really good. Take care of him Annabelle. The boy likes you. He’s going to have a great future in front of him. Together you are invincible” she said. Woah. I didn’t see that coming. I didn’t even had an answer. - ”Thank you Mrs. Stinson. I will take care of him” I stuttered.

“Thank you Harry. We’re done for today kids” Bernad said as he high fived me and Harry.
“Well done” I whispered and hugged Harry. He squeezed me and turned me around. Happiness was written all over his face. No wonder why; he was an amazing singer!

“I’m proud of you kids”Mr. Bolt confessed as we walked towards Bernads office. “In 30 minutes the coaches will come. Let’s get some food it has been a long day” Bernad said as he showed us the way to his canteen.

2 hours later we finally left Bernad’s building. The recording and singing was over. Harry and I had only one thing in our minds: SHOPPING! We found a H&M which I without hesitation needed to visit!
“Harry 50 % off everything! I’m in heaven” I said as I started looking for some cute tops and dresses. I needed a dress for New Year’s.. Oh, and Christmas!

“What do you think about this one?” I asked. Harry sat on a chair with a Frappuccino in one hand, his IPhone in the other.

“It’s okay” he said. “ It’s not .. Wow you know”

“What about this one?” I said as I did my best cat walk in the fitting room

“Oh buy that one” he said as I walked towards him. “ Its perfect for New Years” He insisted

“You don’t think it shows off too much skin?” I said as I looked in the mirror.

“ I love skin” he smirked.

Of course he loved skin -.-

Okay what about this then? I really need a new crop top"

“You know my opinion about crop tops”

“No?”

“ I like them. But not on you”

“Why not?” I was in shock. Was I that fat?

“Because people can see areas of your body that only belong to me” he smirked as he got up from the chair. He stood behind me and scanned every inch of my body.

“But it does fit you perfectly especially with that skirt. Buy it” he said and smacked my ass.
“HARRY” I said and threw a T-Shirt on him. “ Not here idiot” I laughed,

-
Shit I was exhausted. One hour later Harry had spent 100 euros and we both decided to get home. “Let’s buy some food I’ll cook us something at home” he suggested to me as we walked towards the bus station. “ Good idea. My feet hurt all I want is to get home “ I admitted as I threw my bags on the floor.


“Unlock the door, unlock the door idiot” I punched his arm as he stood in front of the door not wanting to let me in. “Harry I’m literally about to pee in my pants, unlock the door! “

“Only if you ask politely” he smirked with a cheeky smile on his face.

“HARRY I MEAN IT “ I laughed. “I’m literally peeing in my pants”

“Nice try missy. Ask politely”

“Let me in NOW” I insisted. I kept punching him but he didn’t bother at all.

“Only if you kiss me”

“If I what? I’ll kick you not kiss you” I said.

“You’ll rather pee in your pants instead of kissing me? Fine I don’t mind. We can stay outside the house for hours it’s totally fine with me” - " Arg, Harry I’m going to kill you!" I said and kissed him on the cheek. He finally unlocked the door and I ran towards the bathroom. I locked the door and decided not to get out before I had showered. I turned on the newest Justin Timberlake album. Then I jumped into the bathtub. I could finally enjoy myself for a while. About half an hour later I stepped out of the bath. I put on my bathrobe and some body lotion. I removed the mascara from my cheeks and decided to see what Harry was up to.

“What are you up to idiot?” I said as I walked into the kitchen. It smelled heavenly.
“I made you dinner.”
“It smells heavenly Harry!” I admitted as I jumped on the kitchen counter.
“Chocolate frosting? Are you backing?”
“Yeah I’m making your favorite cupcakes as an apology for covering the door” he smiled as he mixed the chocolate with vanilla cream.
“You’re such a sweetheart. Come here” I said as I hugged him.
“I know right? Do you wanna taste it?” he asked.
“Of course!” he stuck his finger in the bowl “ Taste it” he smiled innocentely. I knew what he was up to and it kind of surprised me. I thought we would play it cool.
I licked his finger clean, “ It’s good. Call me when the food is ready I have to clean the bathroom.. And oh my favourite songs is playing in the radio I need to dance!” I said. I totally played it cool. I was not going to fall for his actions.

“You’re not going anywhere” he whispered slowly as he smeared frosting on my lips. He licked it off carefully which turned out to a kissing session. It made me crave even more. Why did he have to do this to me. I totally lost my game now. I wanted all of him. His lips were irresistible. He pressed me into him as I ran my fingers through his hair. He placed his arms around me. " I wanna see how you move for me baby, jump for me” he said in pleasure. I jumped on him and he led us to the bedroom. Slowly, he put me on the bed. He was on top of me and a smile hovered about his lips. “I’ve missed this” he whispered into my ear, I kissed his neck and connected our lips again. I had missed him too and it was about time to tell it to him.

“I’ve missed you even more” I whispered intensely as he left wet kisses on my neck. He knew my sweet spot too well. He untied my bathrobe and started kissing my stomach. He left a kiss lower and lower- The lust inside of me got bigger and bigger. This was It; I needed him again. I needed to feel his love.

“You’re ready babe?” he looked at me with a cheeky look. He grinned and spread my legs. I was ready to make love with him again; god I had missed this way too much.

“I’m sorry If I say I need ya, I don’t care im not scared of love.
