One week later:

My dad, Tessa and Nate left yesterday to go back home. They came to Ireland for a few days to visit us and make sure we are all ok. I guess Grandpa had a heart attack a few weeks ago, it was nice of someone to call me… Not!

Anne has been cooped up in her room with Haylie for three days now. I offered to bring her with me into Dublin to do some dress shopping but she said no. Niall, Greg and their parents are busy with the kids at the museum so I am stuck with bringing Harry.

“What the bloody hell is that?” he laughs

“So that’s a no then?”

“Cassie you look like a polar bear…100% NO”

Three shops and ten dresses later I finally decide on my reception dress. Harry and I stop to get some coffee and chat for a while since we haven’t done much of that since he’s been out of the hospital.

“So how have you been feeling?” I ask him

“I’ve been feeling pretty good actually. Much better since coming home.”

“That’s great, you are looking much better too. The kids are happy you’re back too.” I tell him

Harry POV:

She is so beautiful I can hardly take my eyes off of her. It’s just disappointing that she has her mind dead set on marrying Niall. Don’t get me wrong Niall is great, he’s actually my best mate. I just though she gave up on trying to make it work with him.

“Shall we go get some coffee?” Cassie asks through the changing room curtain

“Um yeah sure” I say

My phone starts to vibrate so I take it out to see who sent me a text. To my surprise I have three missed calls from the London Police Department. I open the text message and see it is form Dectective Tom.

DT: Good news lad, Gemma was caught in Holmes Chapel trying to go through a window of your mum’s home.

“Well that didn’t take long, she’s such a stupid fuck” I say to myself.

H: So we can go home?

DT: yeah, today if you’d like

H: alright thanks

I’m kind of liking this little time away, just Cassie and I. I think I’ll wait a few more days to tell everyone.

“ready?” Cassie says walking towards me

“Yep, lets go”

We go get coffee and catch up on everything that’s been happening.

“What?” I hear her say

“hm?”

“You’re staring, do I have something on me?”

“Oh uh no sorry I just… I .. nevermind”

“No what is it?” she moves over to sit by me now

“Nothing” I chuckle

“Harry! Tell me this instance” she demands

I watch her for a moment, her beautiful green eyes glittering and her cute little lips in a pout. I don’t know what over comes me but my lips are now attached to hers. I run my tongue along her bottom lip gaining access to her sweet mouth. Things start to heat up rather quickly before…

Click..click..click

Cassie pulls away and stares at me with wide panicked eyes.

“Harry we… we cannot do this.. not again”

“Cassie I’m sorry I don’t know what I was thinking”

Cassie POV:

I get up and run to the loo to get away from everyone taking photos. I go into the stall and fall to the floor crying.

“Cassie talk to me please.. I’m sorry.. please” Harry says

I can hear the amusement in his voice. I slam the door open anger slowly rising in me.

“Harry you knew exactly what you were doing.. you always do this! It’s like you like seeing me miserable” I yell at him

“Breaking news out of London tonight. The 25 year old girl who escaped from custody last week has been captured. Gemma Styles was taken into custody around 6:00 p.m. yesterday night after trying to break into her mother’s home in Holmes Chapel. Now back to you Erin for the weather” the news anchor says

“Did you know!?” I ask Harry coldly

“No, but that’s wonderful though we can go back home” he says

Harry and I go out to the car and make our way back to Horan Manor. Harry plays with his phone the whole way home. When we pull up to the door I tell him to keep his mouth shut about the kiss. It meant nothing and that’s how it will stay.

“It’s about time you get here I have fantastic news” Niall rushes out to the car

“Hi babe sorry Harry and I stopped for coffee”

“Did you see the news?” he asks

“No what’s going on?” I say sensing his excitement

“She’s been captured”

“Who has?’ I play stupid

“Gem, she was taken back in last night.. we can go home, to our own room and our own bed
and see all of our friends again.” Niall says excitedly
