Jessi

Somebody relentlessly ringing my doorbell pulled me from my dream. I'd been dreaming about Harry, dreaming he was here with me, that I wasn't all alone. Whoever was at the door wasn't giving up. I threw the covers off and stomped out of bed.

"Alright! I'm coming for fuck's sake!" I yelled. My foul mood was getting worse by the second. I buzzed them in and yanked open my apartment door, ready to give them a piece of my mind.

"Holy shit!" I exclaimed and closed the door again, not quite believing my eyes. I opened the door slowly this time.

"Well, that's not quite the reaction I was expect -"

"HARRY!" I flung my arms around him. "You're here! You're really here!"

"Well, you didn't think I'd miss your Birthday, did you?" He chuckled.

"Yes! Yes I did because you told me you would!" I playfully smacked his arm repeatedly.

"Hey! First you shut the door in my face and now you're assaulting me, I think I'll just go back to London." He chuckled louder.

"Nuh uh. It's my Birthday! That means you have to do as I say." I smirked.

"Is that so?" He grinned, closing the door behind him. "And what exactly would the Birthday Girl like me to do?"

"The Birthday Girl, would very much like you to do her." I smirked, walking towards my bedroom. I giggled as I heard Harry cough, surprised by what I had said. "Harry!" I giggled as his arms slid around my waist and picked me up. I couldn't help but smile as he put me back down and his body pressed me against the wall.

"And where would you like me to do you?" Now he was the one smirking. "Here? the bath? Shower? Bed? Maybe you'd like me to do you right on top of the kitchen table?" I could feel myself getting wet just at the way his eyes were raking over my barely clothed body. I had on a pair of pants and one of his t-shirts.

"Anywhere," I shrugged before adding "everywhere?" with a smirk. Harry let out a little growl before he crashed his lips to mine. I savoured every moment, I'd missed him so much, being apart from him seemed to get harder every time. My phone ringing interrupted our moment, I glanced over to my bedside table and saw it was Danny. I pushed Harry back and went to answer my phone, Danny would worry if I didn't answer.

"Hi Danny!" I answered, Harry wrapped his arms around me and I batted them away so I could concentrate.

"Hey Angel! Happy Birthday!" He sang.

"Thanks." I smiled, throwing myself down on the bed.

"I can't believe you're 21, a proper grown up. Where'd your Mum's lil' jellybean go?" He chuckled.

"I know. It's weird though. I don't really feel any dif-er-rent!" I stuttered as I felt Harry's mouth on me through my pants. I tried to sit up, but he pinned me down easily with one arm.

"Jess? Are you okay?" Danny asked as Harry pulled my pants down with his teeth.

"Uh huh! I stood on a plug." Harry chuckled against me, only adding to my pleasure. "Fuck!" I exclaimed, swatting at his head.

"Ouch! Sounds painful. Remember, dinner is at 7 tonight, yeah?" Danny said, I placed my hand over the phone and let out a moan as Harry's tongue worked its magic.

"Yeah, I - I remember. Sorry Danny but I really need to go." I rushed out.

"No problem, Angel. I'll see you later. I hope you have a nice day." Danny said.

"Thanks. Bye Danny." I hung up quickly, throwing my phone down on the bed. "You're such an idiot." I swatted Harry's head.

"Hey, now you're just being mean." He pouted, pulling back from me and resting his head in his hands. I let out a little whimper as I mourned the loss of contact between us. He turned his back on me but not before I saw a smirk playing on his lips.

"Harry..." I put on my best sexy voice as I rolled over and scooted closer to him. "You can't stay mad at me forever," I lay down on my stomach, "it's my Birthday!" I smiled. "And - the - only - present - I - want - is - you." I mumbled in between kissing his shoulders. He was still playing hard to get, so I slid my hand slowly down his chest, enjoying the steady rhythm of it rising and falling. I inched my hand lower, slowly tracing over his muscles. My fingers paused at the waistband of his jeans as I listened to him try to control his breathing, he took a deep breath in and out and I inched my hand lower, ever so slightly grazing his groin. I kept my hand there and I could tell he was dying to press himself into me but he was fighting it.

"Fuck this!" Harry's voice startled me and before I could take in what was happening, he had me pinned me to the bed, his body straddling mine and his eyes looked down at me consumed with hunger. "Damn! You're so fucking pretty." His hands tugged at the t-shirt, the only barrier between him and my body. I sat up to allow him to pull it off. His warm hands gently massaged my breasts, forcing a moan from my lips. Harry suddenly flipped us over, my thighs effortlessly molding themselves around Harry's. His long fingers' gripped my hips, and he pulled me harshly into the rock hard bulge in his trousers.

"Mmm... Harry!" The words tumbled from my lips as I grind into him, his jeans providing a fantastic amount of friction. His fingers gripped my hips harder, holding me in place as he rubbed himself slowly against me. I let out some sort of animalistic growl, not unlike an alley cat as he brought me so close to nirvana.

"Christ! Jessi! Baby!" Harry growled.

"Hmm?" I mumbled, unable to string together a coherent sentence.

"Get me out of these fucking jeans!" His grip on my hips suddenly loosened, and I wasted no time. I yanked open his belt buckle and undid his jeans, making sure I had a hold of his boxers too as I yanked them down his strong legs, tossing them on the floor once I finally removed them. "Ugh, that feels better." He curled and uncurled his pointer finger, beckoning me to climb back on top of him.

"I swear I could come undone just looking at you." I whispered. My eyes lazily drifting over his beautiful face, the sharp angles of his jaw just begging to be kissed, my eyes moved to his chest before landing on his butterfly tattoo, my fingers twitched with a need to touch it, whenever my fingers fanned over the wings I felt grounded and safe, maybe because butterflies were my Mum's favourite animal or maybe because when I placed my palm against its body my fingers could feel my love's heart beating, either way being snuggled up with Harry while my fingers explored that tattoo was my happy place. 

Harry had clearly lost his patience as he suddenly sat up and pulled me down on top of him. He rolled us over again, his lips crashing to mine in a passionate embrace as his tip brushed my clit before resting teasingly at my entrance. My hands clawed at his body, my legs wrapping around him, begging him to give me what I want. What I need.

"I like it when you get all needy." His voice was breathless from the kiss.

"Please?" I begged as he pushed only his tip inside me. He let out a devilish chuckle as I tried to buck up into him but his hands held my hips firmly down on the bed. "Please, please, please?" I whimpered, squirming underneath him, desperate for any kind of release, any contact.

"Shh... Baby Girl, I got you." Harry cooed, his lips lowering down to kiss away a tear I hadn't notice escape my eyes. I was about to protest, tell him he was being cruel when he slowly slid inside me, filling me entirely. My body felt like it had been lit on fire at the feeling.

"Fuck, you are amazing." I gasped as he pulled halfway out and then thrust back in, slowly, gently. It felt sensational.

"I'm amazing? Or my dick is amazing?" Harry chuckled, slightly changing his angle, so he pressed right up against my g-spot, causing a little "oh" to escape my lips.

"B-both." I smirked before Harry pushed into my g-spot again and made my head roll back.

"Look at me, Baby." Harry groaned, his hand cupped my cheek as he tilted my head back to look into his eyes. "Love watching you come for me."

"S-so c-close." I panted, my entire body tingled with pleasure, ecstasy threatening to tip me over the edge any second.

"Love - it - when - you - stutter" Harry said in between his slow, tantalising thrusts. His hand squeezed between our bodies and I let out a hiss as he squeezed my clit. "Come for me - baby girl." His thumb traced circles over my clit as his dick pressed up against that perfect spot once more and I couldn't hold it any longer, it crashed through my body like a tidal wave. Moaning and panting and Harry's name were the only sounds leaving my lips. I clung to him tightly as I felt him release inside me. His body lowered down on top of mine and he held me tight as we came down from our highs together, our bodies soaked in sweat but I didn't care, I'd happily spend the rest of my Birthday right here, in Harry's arms.

----------

"You're very cuddly today." Harry smiled as I cuddled myself back into his body once he'd moved onto his back. We'd been in bed since he got here.

"I'm so happy you're here." I smiled, my fingers tracing over his butterfly tattoo for about the fifth time today.

"Tickles!" He chuckled. His laugh making my fingers tingle. "I wish I could stay with you forever." Harry held me tighter to his body but his comment had instantly set me on edge, I didn't know how long he'd be here. He could be gone again tomorrow and I didn't think I could handle that. "Are you okay?" Worry tainted his voice. I shook my head and Harry went into full-blown panic mode. His right arm crushed me against his body while his other hand stroked my cheek and when he spoke his voice was about two octaves higher than normal. "What's wrong, Baby? Tell me what's wrong and I can fix it."

"Wh-" I took a deep breath, forcing the question I didn't want to ask out of my mouth. "When do you have to leave?"

"The middle of June." I didn't have to look up at him to know he was smiling.

"But Harry! That's like in a month and a half?" I couldn't stop my grin from covering my face.

"I know. I will have to go to L.A. sometimes but you could always come with me and most of the time I can just be here with you. If that's okay?" His voice becoming unsure.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I straddled him on the bed. "This is the best Birthday present ever!" I said, peppering his chest with kisses.

"Oh yeah, your present. I almost forgot." He grinned, holding me still. He gently moved me off of him and he jumped up out the bed before pulling on his boxers, followed by his jeans.

"Where are you going?" I whined.

"I'll be back in a second, Birthday Girl!" He chuckled and headed to the door before he paused. "Uhm... Jess?" He turned back to face me.

"Yeah?" I smiled as he'd went all nervous and bashful, his cheeks ever so slightly pink.

"Uh... Can I bring in my stuff - I figured I might stay - I mean, I know you gave me a key but a month and a half is a long time and I don't want you to think-"

"Harry! Of course, you can stay here. I'm quite flattered that you'd want to, it's not exactly the Four Seasons." I giggled.

"You're right. It's much better." Harry grinned as he walked towards me and planted his lips on mine. This would be the best month and a half of my life. I smiled as he jogged back to the front door and disappeared outside, I walked to the window and watched as he ran down the steps to my apartment building, towards a black Mercedes. He waved up at me as he opened the boot and I went to wait for him by the door. I bounced excitedly on my toes as I waited.

"Jesus!" He yelled as I dragged him in the door, the second it opened. I hugged him tight and peppered kisses along his jawline. "What's gotten into you, today?" He placed a gentle kiss on my nose.

"I just can't believe you're really here." I smiled, still clutching him tight.

"Well, believe it. And Happy Birthday Baby!" Harry sang stepping back from me and dangling a massive gift bag. I peered inside and noticed way too many gifts.

"Please, tell me you didn't buy me all these?" I groaned.

"No, I stole them Jess." He rolled his eyes at me.

"Harry, it's way too much."

"Oh, don't start with this again. It's your Birthday, your 21st Birthday, you only get one of those, therefore I may spoil you. It's in the rules." He smirked. I know I'll never convince him so I might as well just go with the flow. He smiled in victory at my silence. I grabbed his shirt from the floor as I sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Okay. Open these first." He smiled, dropping three presents into my lap. I carefully peel off the wrapping paper to find three gorgeous photo frames. "I figured we could go through that box of photos while I'm here, this place needs more of your art on display." My cheeks blushed at his kind words.

"Thank-you they are so pretty." I smiled, running my fingers over their intricate patterns.

"Okay, this one next." He grinned.

"Ooh, my favourite." I smiled as I unwrapped a bottle of Daisy perfume.

"Mine too." He grinned, placing a kiss on my neck. "Okay so this one is kinda also for me." He smirked. My eyes widened as I unwrapped the black underwear, that lets just say left little to the imagination. Even although I'd be quite exposed when I wore it I couldn't help but notice it was ridiculously beautiful. "I can't wait to shag you while you wear that." Harry growled, making me wet and also making me realise I still had no pants on.

"I look forward to it." I smiled up at him.

"Okay, last three." He grinned, placing them down in front of me. My mouth fell open as I unwrapped three brand new camera lenses, one was a replacement of the one that had gotten smashed and the other two were new, and I admit I couldn't wait to play with them.

"Oh my God! Harry!" I exclaimed, kneeling up on the bed and pulling him into a hug. "They are wicked. Thank you, so much."

"You're welcome. I admit I got Cal to help me a little though." I kissed his neck which caused him to chuckle. "So what do you want to do for the rest of the day? We could go for lunch? Maybe wander around an art gallery? Whatever you want we can do it?"

"Can we stay here until - oh shit! I should tell Danny you're coming for dinner." I exclaimed.

"He knows." Harry grinned.

"Oh, you sneaky little shit! I suppose Lori knows too?" I pouted.

"Yep." He grinned. "I can make it up to you though." He smirked, biting and sucking hard on my sweet spot. A loud moan rolls off my tongue and a loud ripping noise grabbed my attention, and I looked down to see Harry had ripped the t-shirt I was wearing clean in half. He pushed me back onto the bed and I giggle as my back connects with the soft cushiony duvet.

"Ow!" I smacked his head as he placed a harsh bite to the soft flesh of my breast.

"That was for teasing me by flashing me your pussy every time you reached for one of my presents." Harry growled and I couldn't help but giggle.

"We'll see who's laughing in a second, baby girl!" He cooed and I lie back thinking this will definitely be a Birthday to remember.

----------

I glanced in the mirror. My make up looked good, my hair was just its natural wave as I spent way too much time messing around with Harry to style it properly but then I bite my lip as I stare at my dress in the full-length mirror. It was the dress from Australia, the one Lori had picked, the one she had absolutely begged me to wear tonight. My eyes cast over the deep V plunge between my breasts as my hands try to close the thigh high split in the skirt. This was definitely Lori's style, not mine. But she swears Harry will love it so I decide to give it a shot.

"Baby, are you almost ready? We're gonna be late." Harry knocked gently on the door.

"Yeah. Coming." I reply taking one last look in the mirror, wishing that thigh high slit stopped lower. I yanked open the bathroom door and giggled as Harry's eyes almost bulged out his head when he saw me. I guess Lori was right. I slipped on my heels and walked towards him, his arm suddenly blocking my way.

"Come on, we're gonna be late, remember?" I smiled.

"You're not going out wearing that." He growled.

"Why? Don't you like it?" I did a little twirl, knowing from the way he fidgeted uncomfortably that he liked it a lot.

"Jessi, I'm not playing. Get changed!" His eyes were black as sin.

"No." I huffed.

"If you don't take that dress off, I swear I'll tear it from your body!"

"I dare you!" I snapped at him.

"Jessi!" He growled.

"Harold!" I growled back at him, I didn't know why I was getting mad at him for disliking a dress I didn't like either but him telling me I couldn't wear it rubbed me up the wrong way.

"Please?" He suddenly changed tactics, his voice soft and pleading. "I don't like to share. I don't want everyone seeing things only I get to see." His hand ran up my thigh and I shook my head, trying to stop him from manipulating me.

"People see more of me at the gym. Now come on." I replied, sneaking passed him and out the door. I climbed into the car and for a second I wondered if he was actually just going to refuse to come but eventually he walked out the door, his eyes still as dark as sin.

-----

"Are you going to sulk all night?" I ask as he hasn't said a word for the whole car ride. His hands were clutching the steering wheel as if he was trying to strangle the life out of it. He ignored my words, so I sighed loudly and stared out the window.

"Jessi, I'm sorry." Harry says barely above a whisper, he placed his hand on my thigh and I look down to discover the dress shows off even more of my leg now I'm sitting down. Honestly, I wasn't that comfortable in the dress but I wasn't about to take it off just because Harry said so. "I love you." He squeezed my thigh, his index finger drawing little circles on my bare skin.

"I love you too." I smiled over at him, my fingers skimming over the tanned flesh of his barely tattooed right arm.

"You look fantastic in the dress." He smiled as he parked the car.

"Thanks. Lori said you'd like it." He grinned widely at me in response.

"Come on, let's get you to your dinner, Birthday Girl!" He wrapped his hand firmly around mine as he helped me out of the car.

----------

Harry

I held Jessi's hand tightly as we walked into the restaurant. Lori had text me to tell me everyone was there already. I couldn't wait to see her face.

"Hi, do you have a reservation?" The greeter at the door smiled before I saw his eyes rake over Jessi's body, lingering on her chest. I clicked my fingers in front of his face "Hey, her eyes are up here!" I snapped.

"Sorry, uhm. We have a table booked. It should be under Jackson." Jessi smiled at him.

"I'll just go check if your table is ready." He disappeared, his eyes glancing over her again.

"Harry, that was so rude!" She nudged my ribs.

"What? He was staring at your boobs, was I supposed to just let that slide?" I groaned. I knew this dress would be trouble.

"Oh please, people stare at your ass and bulge all the time, you don't see me raging around like the Hulk do you?" She smirked.

"People do not stare at my ass or my bulge all the time!" I scoffed.

"Styles, there are entire websites devoted to your bulge and whether it's nine, ten or eleven inches long." Jessi laughed.

"And how would you know? Have you been googling my dick?" I cocked an eyebrow at her and saw her cheeks turn pink.

"If you'd just like to follow me?" The creep had returned, and I pouted as Jessi took her chance to avoid my question. I held her hand and grinned as I saw her mouth drop open, her body freezing where she stood.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSI!" Everyone cheered.

"Did you do this?" She turned towards me and smiled.

"I had a little help." I smirked.

"Thank you!" She stood on her tiptoes to kiss my cheek.

"Zayn and the guys are sorry they couldn't make it." I lied, they were at the Ace getting everything ready for the party. She rushed over towards Lori and Danny and pulled them into a hug, I sat down and watched her as she smiled and greeted everyone around the table. My Mum, Robin, Gem, my Dad, Lou, Tom and Lux. She smiled over at me and I patiently waited for her to sit down beside me but my Dad yelled on her to sit by him, uh thanks Dad. I didn't mind too much though as he was the only one who hadn't met her in person.

"So how much did she freak out when you turned up this morning?" Lori whispered in my ear as I watched Lux climb into Jessi's lap.

"She shut the door in my face!" I chuckled. "I hear you are to blame for that dress?"

"Guilty, don't you like it?" Lori smirked.

"Oh yeah. I love creeps eyeing up my girlfriend. I almost had to poke that greeters eyes out!" I whined.

"Aw, is poor Harry jealous?" Lori teased. "She should show off that smoking body of hers more often."

"She shows it off plenty. To me." I grinned, my eyes finding hers across the table. She waved at me and I waved back.

"I love how happy you make her." Lori smiled as Danny plonked himself down in Jessi's empty seat.

"Alright, Rockstar?" He grinned.

"Hi Sir." I smiled.

"Did Jess like your surprise?" He asked, his huge muscles almost knocking me off my chair.

"I think so." I smiled at him.

"That's good, Son. And I already told you call me Danny!" He patted me on the back, almost knocking me into the table. Jesus, he was strong.

"Hi Danny!" I heard Jessi's voice behind me and smiled as she placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, should you be wearing those shoes?" He said.

"Huh?" Jessi asked.

"You know after you stood on that plug? There could be internal damage." I almost choked.

"Oh, it was nothing. I'll be fine." Her hand gripped my shoulder tighter.

"Alright. I'll speak to you later." Danny smiled, getting up from the seat. I smiled as Jessi slid into it.

"Your Dad is cool. He has a-mazing taste in music." Jess grinned.

"Yeah, he's alright." I smiled. I was lucky to have three awesome parents, even luckier to have Jessi. I placed a kiss to her cheek as she made funny faces at Lux, making her giggle.

"I love you." Jess said as her head snapped towards me.

"I love you too." I smiled, and she placed a gentle kiss to my lips. I'd fallen for her so hard, I didn't think it was possible to love somebody this much.

----------

"No. I go wiv Jessi!" Lux whined as Tom lifted her from Jessi's lap.

"Come on, it's already passed your bedtime, little lady!" Tom chuckled.

"Mummy, we go wiv Jessi?" Lux decided to try her luck with Lou.

"No, it's bedtime, babe. But if you ask nicely maybe Jess would like to spend some time with us before we leave?" Lou gives Jess a pleading look.

"Pwease?" Lux adds.

"Are you kidding? I'd love to!" Jess tickled Lux in response.

"Maybe we could go to the Zoo, you love it there." I smiled and Jess threw me a look which had me wondering what I said.

"Or we could go to Coney Island or if you like animals then I have the perfect place?" Jess smiled at Lux.

"Yay! Aminals" Lux cheered. We said goodbye and Tom carried her outside.

"Thanks Jess, you're so good with her." Lou whispered.

"You are." I agreed.

"She's so much fun." Jess smiled.

"Oh yeah, it's fab when she's bouncing off the walls at 3am and you have to be up at 5." Lou chuckled as she left.

"Hey, what was that look when I suggested going to the Zoo?" I smirked.

"I'm not going on Taylor's second hand dates." She scoffed.

"You know technically you -"

"So when are you guys making Baby Styles?" Lori cut me off, poking her head over Jessi's shoulder.

"When you and Niall make a Baby Horan." Jessi smirked before excusing herself so she could use the bathroom. As soon as Jessi's gone Lori turns to look at me with a furious expression on her face.

"I can't believe I have to say this but don't make a joke about Jessi getting Taylor's seconds, yeah?" She did not look happy.

"Oh, come on, Jess would have laughed." I chuckled.

"You think so?" Lori smirked at me. I nodded in response. "You see that guy behind the bar?"

"Yeah?" I nodded.

"Jessi used to date him, I guess you could say you have his..." She trailed off as I scraped my chair along the floor as I stood up, my fists clenched at my sides. Everyone at the table was staring at me. "Still think it's funny?" Lori grabbed my arm and pulled me back into my seat. "Chill, Jessi didn't date him, they've never even met."

"Hey, where are we going now? I feel like dancing!" Jessi's voice made me jump as she wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

"Well, Danny has invited us all to the Ace." I smiled as I pulled her arms tighter. "Is everyone ready to go?"

"Anne, Robin, Des, you can come with me if you'd like?" Danny smiled, standing up.

"That would be great." My Mum smiled.

"I'm with Lori and Niall!" Gem yelled and after they'd all said goodbye they left, leaving just me and Jessi. This was all part of my master plan, so they'd get there before us and they could join the surprise party.

"Come on, I guess we should go pay." I smiled standing up and then my eyes widened as I saw her in that dress again, it took every ounce of control I had not to take her right here, right now.

"Hey, you okay?" She said taking hold of my hand.

"Hmm... yeah. Just imagining getting you out of that dress later." I smiled, placing a kiss to the back of her hand.

"Harry?" She questioned as I paid for dinner.

"Jess, I'm not letting you pay for your Birthday Dinner." I sighed.

"I figured, but that wasn't what I was going to say." She paused, waiting for me to look at her. "I just wanted to say thank you for all of this. It's been so nice and so much fun. Nobody has done anything like this for me before and well... thanks!" She stood on her tiptoes and kissed my cheek.

"You're very welcome. And it's not over yet, baby. I believe the Birthday Girl wanted to dance?" I smiled, wrapping my arms around her as we headed to the car. The others should have had enough time to get there by now. It wasn't far.

-----

Jessi

We pulled up outside the Ace and I was so excited to get inside I didn't notice it was oddly quiet out front or like a ghost town in the foyer or that there was no music coming from inside the bar. If I'd paid more attention, I wouldn't have been scared half to death when literally everyone I knew yelled surprise. Everyone. My entire photography class was here, even although apart from Tom, none of them really spoke to me.

"Harry!" I exclaimed as I spotted Zayn, Niall, Louis and Liam. "You're becoming way too good at lying to me!" I yelled as I ran over to them and pulled them into a hug.

"We couldn't miss your Birthday!" Zayn smiled.

"What are you drinking?" Niall asked. "I know." Lori replied as she walked to the bar with Niall.

"You look amazing!" Zayn smiled.

"Thanks. Lori picked it." I smiled back.

"Figures. She has good taste." Liam grinned.

"Hmm..." I replied quietly. It wasn't my taste though, and I had to admit the dress was making me self conscious, I was constantly worried a boob would pop out or I'd flash somebody my pants.

"Here you go!" Lori smiled when she came back with Niall. She handed me a Rum & Coke and Harry Tequila over ice. We both thanked her, and I looked around my party nervously. So many people were watching me, well watching Harry and the guys. It made me uncomfortable. I tapped Lori on the shoulder.

"I'm guessing Harry invited everyone from school, there's no way they'd be at my party otherwise." I whispered.

"I tried to tell him but he was having none of it, personally rang as many of them as he could. It's kinda sweet really, he refused to believe there are people who don't like you." Lori hugged me tight. "Just ignore them. Concentrate on the people who love you." I nodded. And I did relax as I sipped my drink and danced with my friends.

"Come on, you should go say hello to some of your other guests!" Harry grinned.

"I want to stay here." I shook my head.

"Come on, it's rude to ignore people." Harry held out his hand. It wouldn't be so bad if Harry came with me, right? I squeezed his hand tightly as he led me towards a group of three girls, I honestly had no idea who they were. I frowned as they came rushing towards us, my instincts made me cling to Harry's arm like a child.

"Hi!" Harry smiled.

"Hi Harry, Hi Jessica!" They giggled. Red Flag number one, they didn't even know my name. Although to be fair I couldn't recall theirs either.

"Jess, aren't you going to introduce me?" Harry glanced at me expectantly.

"Uhm..." I might if I knew who they were.

"It's fine, Jess. I'm Olivia, this is Naomi, and that's Rachael." The girl in the middle answered. Harry was just looking at me with a puzzled look on his face.

"So you go to school with Jess? Isn't she ridiculously talented?" Harry smiled at me, proudly. I felt my cheeks blush, and I hid my face in his bicep.

"Everyone in class is talented." Rachael scowled at me and then I remembered exactly how I knew them, they were the girls who constantly mocked my British accent.

"I apologise. I didn't mean to suggest you weren't. I assumed you'd help me encourage your friend who needs to have way more confidence in herself" Harry kissed my head and if looks could kill I'd be dead three times over. "Okay, well we'll speak to you later." Harry waved and led me away from the group, we didn't get very far before group number two surrounded us. I recognised two of them, Drake and Josh, they tripped me up on my first day of class and now referred to me as Ugly Duckling.

"Jessi, we didn't know you knew how to dress like this." Drake smirked, he reached out to touch my shoulder and I automatically pulled away from him, stepping closer to Harry, whose entire body had tensed.

"I don't believe we've been introduced, I'm Harry, Jessi's boyfriend." Harry thrust his hand out towards Drake.

"Yeah, I know who you are. You sing in that stupid British boy band. And boyfriend? Really? We all know you're just fucking her until something better comes along." Drake scoffed, his eyes looking me up and down.

"Do you want to say that again?" Harry squared up to Drake, and I instinctively stepped between them.

"Harry stop! He's not worth it!" I tried to push him back but he wouldn't budge.

"I never noticed what a fine ass you have, Ugly Duckling!" Drake's hands groped my bum.

"You touch her again and I'll snap you in fucking two, got it?" Danny's voice boomed, and I turned to find him marching Drake out of the party, Drake's friends following behind them.

"You okay?" Harry's arms wrapped around me. I nodded against his chest. "Look, I'm sorry I invited these people. I should have listened to Lori."

"It's okay. Not all of them are like Drake. Come on, let's go get another drink." I grabbed his hand and pulled him along behind me.

"Hi Max, can we have a Tequila with ice and a Rum & Coke please?" I smiled as we reached the bar.

"You got it, Little Lady." He grinned and walked off to get our drinks.

"I've got these." Harry commanded, pulling out his wallet.

"Actually, he's got these." Max nodded to Danny.

"I can't have my Angel paying for drinks on her 21st!" Danny smiled, placing an arm around me and Harry. "You okay? Don't worry that guy won't be back in here again."

"Thanks Danny and I'm good." I smiled as Anne and Gemma stole him to dance.

"Is that your Dad? He's so hot." A girl called Savannah smiled at me. "This place is really cool. I had no idea you actually liked this kind of music. I figured you were one of those girls who wears band t-shirts because they think it's cool." She smiled, not letting me answer her original question.

"I know a few girls like that." Harry chuckled.

"Savannah, this is Harry. Harry, Savannah." You smiled, gesturing between them.

"My little sister has you on posters on her wall, although Liam is her favourite." Savannah smiled.

"Hi Jessi. Hi Harry, I'm Tom." He holds out his hand to Harry and smiled at Savannah.

"The Tom who thinks I'm a vain, selfish womanizer? Nice to meet you." Harry grinned as he shook Tom's hand.

"Uhm... yeah. Sorry about that." Tom turned bright red.

"It's alright. You were just looking out for your friend." Harry squeezed my hip.

"Yeah but any idiot in here can see you're crazy about her, just know there'll be trouble if you hurt her." Tom replied and I couldn't help but smile. I could beat Tom up if I wanted to, so he properly stood no chance against Harry but I appreciated the sentiment.

"Message received." Harry smiled.

"Oh oh, Tom! Guess who I met a few weeks ago?" I yelled.

"The American Idol guy with the high pants?" Tom guessed.

"No, Brian Johnson!" I grinned.

"FROM AC/DC?" Tom and Savannah yelled at the same time.

"Yeah. He was so cool. Hold on I got a picture!" I pulled out my phone to show them and finally relaxed. It didn't matter who was at this party as long as the people I cared about most were here then that's all I should care about.

"Harry?" I said as he closed and locked my apartment door behind us.

"Yeah?" He smiled. I drunkenly lunged towards him and almost fell flat on my face, luckily Harry caught me. "Hey there, baby!" He smiled at me.

"Hey you - yourself" I playfully poked his chest.

"Come on, you drunken bum! Let's get you to bed." He picked me up and carried me to the bedroom.

"You love my bum!" I face planted on the bed as I tried to shake my arse at him.

"Indeed, I do." Harry playfully smacked my butt before he unzipped my dress and tucked me into bed.

"Hey! Where are you going?" I whined as he walked away from the bed.

"Toilet. I'll be back in a second." Harry chuckled. I sat up in bed and impatiently waited for him to come back.

"What?" He grinned, curiously, as my eyes followed his every move back to bed.

"I missed you, that's all." I drunkenly confessed, cuddling in beside him as soon as he was settled.

"Jess, I was gone for about two minutes." He chuckled, his arm snaking around me and resting on my hip.

"Too long." I mumbled, my head resting on his chest. "I hate being away from you, hurts too much." I slurred as I traced circles over the butterfly.

"I know, Baby. I know." Harry yawned, and I cuddled closer, my eyes slowly falling closed.
