Sweet Creature

//Harry//

"Louis?" Sophia's loud call from the kitchen broke off everyone's laughter. Niall had just finished telling us something stupid that he done the other day, he even had Julianne giggling. It was about him falling down the stairs, quite funny honestly.

"Yeah?" He yells back, dramatically rolling his eyes.

"Where'd you put the mail?" She enters the room and instantly he freezes. Zayn gives him a smirk, this isn't a surprise. He's forgotten.

"I.. Shit. I forgot, Soph." He slams a hand on his forehead, groaning at himself for his common mistake.

"Go get it, now." She points to the door, a heavy stern voice coming from her.

He gives her an obeying nod before scurrying out of the house. We all share a quick glance at Sophia before breaking out into laughter again. She's furious with him, something that is very common around here. I can still remember the day we met them - almost as if it was yesterday. They had been arguing, of course, over something Louis had said to a stranger that was rather rude. He's always gotten on her nerves.

Julianne distracts me from the pleasant story in my head by grabbing my hand once she's on her feet. I furrow my brows, when did she stand up? She gives me a smile, and surprisingly a wink. I frown gently, not sure if something is wrong or what. She surely doesn't want me to take her to a room and.. She's on her period, surely not.

She drags me through the kitchen and down the hall. I'm still confused on her sudden desire to make an exit. She's laughing a little as we reach the bathroom door - I'm sure we both are still aware of what happened last time we were both in here. She slams the door and turns the lock, leaving me stunned in the middle of the room.

"Are you-"

Her mouth smacks onto mine, her tongue instantly sliding past my lips. I allow her the access as my hands roam her sides, trying to grab and squeeze as much as I can without hurting her. I know her stomach is extra sensitive right now, so I'm being very cautious with her. She's moaning into my mouth, evidently happy with what's going on.

I grab her waist and lift her off the floor. A squeal comes from her as I sit her down on the counter. Her arms tighten around my neck, and her kiss deepens as far as possible. One set of fingers glides through my hair while the other keeps a nice hold on my nape.

"Ju-Julianne." I mutter out as I lean back to get a breath.

She pulls me back in, impatiently of course. I don't try to break away again. She wants this, obviously, so she's going to get it - whatever exactly it is referring to right now..

"I love you." She breathes out, finally resting her forehead against mine.

My heart is throbbing, she's really surprised me today. I notice how swollen and red her lips are, they only make me want her even more. It's not possible right now, unfortunately.

"I love you."

Her smile grows to a bright grin, yet I'm still unsure about what's going on. Her hands fall slowly from my hair and end up on my covered chest. I can tell she wishes there wasn't anything blocking our skin from touching, but, despite that, she doesn't try to change it.

"Is.. is everything.." I stop only so I don't cross a line. I don't want to ruin this moment between us. Asking her might tick her off and I just don't want that to happen at all.

"I just wanted to kiss you." She shrugs, answering the question that's been rotating around my brain for the past five minutes.

I sigh in relief, nothing's wrong then, "Oh.. well, in that case, did I perform well?"

She giggles at me, sometimes my corniness gets the best of her, "Excellent."

We lean in to each other again, our lips being a lot more gentle this go around. Her small hand grabs my wrist, squeezing tightly. I admire the feeling, I love it when she plays with my hands or my arms. She's always tracing her little fingertips along my veins that stick out of my skin, and over the definition of my muscles. She adores doing that, it's always fascinated her. I'm quite glad she likes it. It's soothing.

"Harry!"

A loud knock on the door simultaneously ruins our moment as someone yells my name. I recognize the voice to be Niall's. I grunt, what could he possibly want right now? Julianne groans, just as upset as I am that we have to pull away.

My hands drop from her body. She whines, trying to take a hold of my hand again. I give her a small smile, "Just a few minutes." I leave a kiss on her forehead before stepping over to the door.

When I reached the kitchen, I found Niall standing there with wide eyes, something was clutched tight in his hand. He quickly shot his arm out toward me, displaying the envelope that he was holding firmly. I took it from him, silently questioning his odd behavior, and took out the letter inside. Everyone else had already piled into the room and their eyes were strictly on me.



November. He will come in November. He won't hesitate, he won't lack any strength. Be ready.. be prepared. None of us want this to happen, but it will. Keep your pack safe, keep your girl safe. November isn't very far away..



"Fuckin' insane, right?" Niall mumbles at my side, it was clear he had already read the contents of the letter. When he handed me the envelope, the edges were torn from where he, or someone, had been nosy.

Sophia lifted her brows as she sighs, shaking her head slightly, "Maybe Niall's right."

"About?" Zayn asks, confused.

"About-"

I cut Perrie off with the raise of my hand, "There's no need to repeat it. You already know."

"Liam? Are you.. have you considered it?" Zayn questions, I can't tell what's stronger - his curiosity or his courage.

"I've considered millions of things." I shrug, not really concerned with their opinions or suggestions. I will run this pack the way I want to, and I will do it without their input.

"Harry, I know you don't want to hear this again," Sophia takes a big breath, already I know where she was taking this, ".. but we all think it's best if he comes back.. just for the time being. We want Julianne to be safe."

"No body calls the shots around here but me. Got it?" I shift my gaze to each of their faces, making sure my point is being clearly seen by them all.

Niall nods, Zayn clenches his jaw but does nods as well. Perrie sighs, as usual, and Sophia shrugs. Louis stands frozen, unable to say or react in any way. That's how it should be. They all ought to just shut up and listen to me speak. I didn't ask for their thoughts on this, so I shouldn't be getting them.

"Now, if you'll all excuse me, I have something to handle." I pass the letter back to Niall, who's hesitant to take it from me. "Put that in my truck. And do not, under any circumstances, say a word about any of this to Julianne. Or you will suffer the consequences."

They each nod to me in understatement. Thankfully they have realized that I'm the leader - I wasn't aware that they had forgotten that until just a few moments ago. I leave them in the kitchen, not caring what they do anymore. I carry myself back to the bathroom to join Julianne.

When I enter, she's still where I left her - perched on the edge of the counter, her hands tight on the marble to keep her stable. As I reach her, her hands extend to grab me and she drags me as close as we can get. She sighs once our foreheads touch gently. I smile against her mouth, I missed her.

"You're really warm.. Did.. Did something happen?" She pulls back to look at me, worry filling those pretty eyes.

"No, babe. I just had to remind them who was in charge." I smirked before placing a kiss against her lips.

When I leaned back I saw that her frown had remained. I huff, she won't let this go unless I'm honest - or, at least, pretend to be honest.

"I'm fine, baby. Nothing's wrong." I threw in a laugh to ease the tension.

She smiles, finally, and decides to speak to me. "I missed you."

"Hmm, I missed you more." I kiss her cheek a few messy times.

She giggles against me, sliding her arms around my neck, "Wish we could cuddle."

"My bed's still upstairs." I shrugged, we do have options - I hope she remembers that in the future.

"We're guests tonight.. I don't wanna leave them."

"Oh, fuck them. They'll be fine."

"Harry..."

We share a quiet laugh, her beautiful sounds filling my ears. I exhale deeply, that easily catches her attention. She pushes her hand against my cheek, shifting my head back so our eyes met again.

"Is there somethin' you're not tellin' me?" She asks, lifting a brow.

"No, baby. Everything's perfectly fine." I assure her, pecking those sweet lips to try to distract her.

"Okay.. I trust you, Hare." She smirks at the use of that name I do not like very much. I tolerate it because I know she likes to say it, plus she adores to annoy me with it. Whatever makes her happy..

"I know."

It hurt me a little to say that, and to know that she puts her life in my hands every single day. She believes me most of the time, she trusts me evidently. Even though I lie to her, I leave her out of a lot of things, and I ignore her questions sometimes... she still loves me. How can she? I'm basically mistreating her. I decide to not question it any further and just focus on her.

Those lips meet mine once more and before I knew it, we were lost in a kiss.
