My eyes fluttered open as the light from the windows became too strong for me to sleep anymore. I tried moving but I couldn't. I looked over to see Harry's arm wrapped around my body holding me tight. Harry was sound asleep. All I could hear from him was his low breaths. I slowly ran my fingers through his hair.

I had stayed up almost all night just watching him. As creepy as that sounded, it wasn't. I watched him fall asleep in my arms and stayed awake just in case he would wake up and need me. I wanted to be there for him as much as possible even though I didn't even know where our relationship was at, at the moment. I just knew that I wanted to be here, with him.

I slowly pulled myself away from his embrace, careful enough not to wake him up. Harry groan a bit in his sleep but never opened his eyes. I quickly changed the clothes I was wearing and left Harry's bedroom before he could even notice.

As soon as I made it down stairs to the kitchen, my eyes met with Cheryl, Mrs Tomlinson. She had her hand wrapped around a mug and she smiled at me.

" Merry Christmas dear" she said.

" Merry Christmas" I smiled back realizing it was actually Christmas morning.

" some people have already arrived for this morning. We're just waiting for the rest to open the presents for the kids" she warned me before taking another sip of whatever was in her mug.

" I'm not sure if Harry's going to wake up for it" I admitted with a short smile.

" oh he will, he always does" she laughed.

Cheryl offered me tea which I quickly declined, taking a glass of water instead. I watched Louis and eventually Jess coming down the stairs and into the living room.

" Jessica told me what happened last night" Louis' mom said.

I didn't know how to respond exactly, so I stayed quiet taking another sip of my water.

" Harry's been through a lot. Jessica too but she doesn't remember much, her brain blocked a lot of those things out. But Harry remembers it all. I knew their mother a little bit. Lily" she began with the story.

I looked around to see if anyone else was listening but it seemed that the coast was clear, thankfully it was. I could faintly hear some laughters coming from the living room.

" I didn't realize what was happening in that house hold at the time. Harry would come over to play with Louis but he would never say anything. By the time I found out, it was too late. Their father went to prison and the kids became orphans. That's when I decided to take them in. They had already suffered enough, they needed to be together in a safe environment. Jessica was very quiet in the beginning but through therapy she became herself again. Harry was a little more difficult. He began acting out, drinking and staying out all night. There was no point in forcing him to go to therapy like Jessica. He had to figure himself out and I just had to show that I cared about him" she said.

" I think he turned out okay" I smiled.

My mind began wondering what Harry acted like at that time. I imagined him acting like the time when Lia broke up with him, only worse. Harry drinking till couldn't handle it anymore. Harry hooking up with girls right and left.

" I also want to thank you" Cheryl nodded.

" for what?" I questioned.

" you're the first girl that Harry's ever brought home. I can tell that he really cares for you and that's rare for him. I know Harry's not the perfect boyfriend but I hope you realize that he's never seen a functional relationship, he doesn't know how to handle it" she explained.

It all made sense, it really did. Harry had never seen nor been in a functional relationship. He didn't know how to handle it. I had to be patient with him. But I didn't know how long I could handle it.

" I should go try to wake up Harry" I nodded before rushing upstairs again.

As I opened his bedroom door, I saw him sitting on his bed looking around with a terrified expression.

" what's wrong?" I asked closing the door behind me.

" I thought you left" he whispered.

I walked towards him and put my hand on his cheek. He looked as if he had just woken up. His hair was a mess but in a way it looked perfect. His green eyes seemed to look even lighter than usual, making him seem more vunerable in a way.

" I'm not leaving you, ever" I smiled down at him.

A small smile seemed to appeared in the corner of his lips. It was nice to see a little bit of joy or happiness coming from him since yesterday. I don't think I ever wanted to see him cry like that ever again. He didn't deserve that.

With that, both of Harry's large hands made their way to the back of my neck and pulling me towards him. Our lips brushed upon another just enough for me to become intoxicated with Harry all over again. Harry took my bottom lips between his teeth causing a moan to escape my lips. In reaction, I crashed my lips upon his. Harry reached down to my thigh with his hands pulling me down to sit on his lap.

My fingers ran through his hair gripping on it just enough for him to groan. Harry's grip tightened around my hips pulling me somehow closer to him. Before I knew it, he pinned me down on the bed. Harry's lips made its way down my neck making me tense up even more.

" Harry..." I moaned.

" hmm" He humbled as he managed to start ripping my shirt off.

" I'm not having sex with you right now" I whispered before pushing him off of me.

As I pulled my shirt back down, I glanced over at him and saw him in awe. His eyes were squinted as if he were confused and cock blocked.

" there are people in the house, including Louis' mom. I'm not having sex with you with them in the house, what if they hear something?" I explained.

" they're not going to hear anything" he begged as he crawled over closer to me.

" I said no" I smirked jumping out of the bed before he could get too close.

" fine" he groaned getting under the covers.

I smiled at the cuteness and sat back down on the bed. I wondered if we could stay like this at least for a while. I didn't want him to suffer anymore. I didn't want to suffer either. I just wanted this perfect little moment to stay on pause forever.

" I have a gift for you" he said as his head popped out of the covers.

" I'm not big on gifts Harry" I shook my head.

" fine, a surprise then" he smiled.

" not big on surprises either" I laughed.

" but this one you're going to love" he said confidently.

After an hour of driving through the country side, Harry still wouldn't tell me where we were going. I would ask him every five minutes but he still wouldn't budge.

But I didn't mind the long ride. It gave us time to just relax and not worry about anything. It gave us time to just be us in our own little world.

" Harry?" I called looking over at him.

" I'm still not telling you, Cailin" Harry chuckled.

" It's not that" I smiled.

Harry didn't say anything but look straight down the road we were at.

" do you ever wish that you weren't in the spotlight so much?" I asked.

" everyday" he responds.

" me too" I whispered.

We sat in silence as Harry continued to drive. It wasn't a bad kind of silence either. I sat there thinking about our situation. What if we weren't famous? Would our relationship be different? Would Harry and I still understand each other the way we did now?

" we're here" Harry said pulling me away from my thoughts.

Ahead of us was a big house with what looked like a farm surrounding it.

" what are we doing here?" I asked confused.

" your surprise is inside" he smiled as he parked the car. 

Harry quickly jumped out of the car and started walking towards the house. Immediately without thinking, I jumped out of the car chasing after him. Walking up the stairs of the front porch, I started to become anxious. I had no idea what Harry was planning and I sure wasn't ready for another surprise.

" Tulley, I'm finally here" Harry called out.

Not even a minute later the front door opened revealing an older woman. The woman has bright red hair and was wearing a pair of denim overalls. Clearly she was the owner of the farm.

" come inside" she smiled before disappearing inside the house again. Harry took my arm gently and dragged me inside the house with him.

As we turned one of the corners of the house, we make it into what looks like a living room. But on the floor was the biggest surprise. Puppies surrounded the living room floor. I became in awe as I saw the most adorable puppies in the world.

I immediately took a seat down on the floor to play with the puppies. About five of them jumped on me licking my hand and legs.

" pick one" Harry said.

I glanced over at Harry, who was smiling down at me.

" what?" I asked.

" this is your present. Pick a puppy so we can take back home" he smiled.

I looked down at the puppies and smiled. But then I glanced up at Harry once more. He still had his perfect little smile planted on his face, only making my smile wider.
