"Nobody loves you, baby, the way I do."

K a y d e n c e

I woke up to the sound of loud ringing coming from the other side of the room, and I squeezed my eyes shut to keep them from opening at the sound. Harry stirred beside me, tightening his arm around my waist and I dug my head further into the pillow when the ringing finally stopped. I was beginning to fall back asleep when again, the ringing started and I groaned in annoyance, willing myself to open one eye. Harry was facing me and he scrunched his face when the ringing wouldn't stop, sighing and slowly slipping his arm from me as he blindly stood from the bed. He walked across the room, almost tripping over his pants on the floor and sticking his hand in his duffel bag, reaching for his phone that would not quit ringing. He didn't open his eyes to check the caller ID as he swiped his finger across the screen, bringing the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" He said in annoyance and I sleepily smiled at the way his hair was sticking up around his ears. He opened his eyes when the person on the other line spoke, blinking his sleepy eyes several times as he reached up to comb his fingers through his bed hair.

"Why are you bothering me at," he pulled his phone away from his ear to glance at the time. "At ten in the god damn morning."

His eyes rolled at whatever the person had said. "Yeah, well what if I wanted to sleep in longer for once? Plus, I was up late..." His eyes find me across the room and his mouth turns up into a smirk when he sees my face flush at the memory of how we went another two rounds last night after the first time. 

"We will talk about this later. I'm going back to sleep." He mumbled and hung up, tossing his phone back in his bag and sauntering back over to the bed. He crawled under the covers and reached for me, dragging my body to his and kissing my forehead.

"Who was it?" I ask,

"Management."

My body stiffens and Harry squeezes my shoulder, running his palm up and down my bare back. "What did they want?"

"Nothing, just that we need to be heading back soon. They need us to go back to working on the album." He pauses and moves his forefinger in a circle over my shoulder. "I'll talk to the boys later on about it though."

"Oh," I frown but nod my head. "Okay." He moves to lay right beside me and places his head on the pillow, turning his body sideways to face me.

"Don't worry Kay." He grinned and leaned in to kiss my cheek, letting his hand wander over my bare back and moving it to my side. His gaze fell from my face to my half naked chest, his lips turning up into a smirk.

"Want to take a shower with me?" He asked cheekily, poking the lace of my bra and I smacked his chest when he wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"Oh my god, stop." I laughed and shook my head. "Not right now, my body hurts. I think I need to give it a rest."

He smiled at my response and bit his lip, his eyes studying my chest and I nudged his perverted ass off the bed, making him fall on his back. He groaned and I laughed loudly, crawling to the edge of the bed and looking down at him with my hair hanging around my face. I stared at the way he lied back on his elbows and he scrunched his nose in pain but an amused smile was on his face. "This is familiar."

"What is?" I tried to keep from laughing at him and tilted my head as I looked down at him.

"Remember when I tried waking you up in the morning by pretending there was an earthquake? And then you kicked me off the bed because I scared you?" He asks me and I grin, nodding my head. He smiled and stared at me for a moment before shaking his head and pushing himself off the floor. "You're still violent, babe." He whispered, moving to kiss my forehead and then standing up straight.

I looked up at him and he smiled down at me, then turned around to walk into the bathroom. He closed the door behind him and I flipped back on the bed, closing my eyes and replaying last night in my head. The way Harry had made love to me and repeatedly showed me how much I meant to him. It was amazing and I've never felt happier then I had last night, even now I still felt the buzz running through my veins. I sunk further into the pillows and sighed in content, thinking how this week has been such a good one and for once I was happy with the way my life was going. Emma and I were getting closer, it has become easier to talk to her and the more time I spent with her the more I saw that we were a lot alike. She had the same humor as I, and every time she rolled her eyes at James for something he said I saw myself doing the same to Harry. I actually was beginning to love spending time with her, along with Charlotte that it made me sad that I would have to leave soon. I couldn't stay here forever and my time with my siblings was coming close to an end. Part of me didn't want to leave, I wanted to stay with Char (she insisted I called her that), and I wanted to argue with Logan more, to play games with Aiden and Livy. I didn't want to leave them, but I also promised Harry I wouldn't leave him either. I knew he meant what he said last night about not being able to come back to me if I left again, and I don't blame him for saying that. It was the mere truth and honestly, if I were him I wouldn't come back either. I didn't want to lose Harry, but I was just beginning to build a relationship here with my siblings and Emma...I wasn't sure if I wanted to give that up.

The bathroom door opening dragged me out of my thoughts and I opened my eyes to see Harry walking into the room with a towel wrapped around his waist. My eyes hungrily scanned the wet droplets that were sliding down his chest, and slowly moved to rest on his damp hair that was plastered to his forehead. He had another towel in his hand and used it to run through his hair, tilting his head sideways and shaking his hair out before pushing it back with his hand. Man, I was tempted to grab him and demand a repeat of last night but the throb in my legs reminded me I needed to give myself a rest.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer babe." He teased and I raised my eyebrow at him, slowly reaching for my phone on the table near the bed.

"Would you really let me?" I ask hopefully and his eyebrows shoot up and his mouth parts in surprise. He wasn't expecting me to actually be willing to try and do it. A picture would be very nice though, so hell yeah.

"Shit, I was kidding." He laughed nervously and suddenly crossed his arms over his chest modestly. "Don't take a picture."

"But why?" I whined and pouted, earning a little smirk from him in return.

"Because I don't like people taking shirtless pictures of me."

"That's bullshit, I remember seeing pictures of you in your yellow trunks like a year ago." I roll my eyes and his dimples pop out.

"You were looking at pictures of me even before we met?"

"Oh my god." I groan and he laughs. "Just because I didn't like you guys didn't mean I was blind. I did see pictures of you on magazines and stuff."

"So you did think I was hot when we first met." He teases and I grab the covers, throwing them over my red face. Leave it to him to turn this on me.

"You're purposely trying to divert the attention off you. Why can't I take a picture of you in a towel?" I wait for him to respond and when he doesn't, I pull the covers back down to see his lip between his teeth.

"Um..." He pauses and looks down at his feet. "Okay, don't think I don't trust you because you know I do. It's just things have a way of getting out to the press these days."

I blink at him, once, twice, then move to sit up, crossing my legs under the covers. "You think I would like, send it to the press?"

"No, no, no," he quickly rushed to the bed and sunk down in the spot next to me, cupping my face with his palms. "I don't think you would. I trust you, Kaydence. I'm just saying there are people out there who are really good at getting a hold of stuff like that. Even if it were just in your phone, someone could easily hack into it and take everything you have private on there." He states and my eyes bulge. Seriously? Someone could that easily get into my phone?

"I didn't know that." I mumble and he nods.

"Yeah, so trust me if it weren't for that I would have already sent you some dick pics."

My mouth falls open and I shove his shoulder, making him bound with laugher. The crinkles at the corner of his eyes deepen and his face turns pink from laughing so hard at the expression on my face.

"I'm kidding." He stops chuckling and gives me a serious expression. "I also would have taken some fantastic pictures of you as well by now." He eyes my chest again and I grab the covers, throwing them over myself and groaning.

"Harry! What is wrong with you? You're so horny today." I mumble and try not to laugh at what he said.

"I don't know, I guess now that I finally have you again I can't seem to get enough." He says and I hear him get up from the bed. I pull the cover back down to see him slipping a pair of boxers up his legs. I take the opportunity with his back turned to me to crawl out of bed, and once my feet hit the wooden floor I quickly run towards the bathroom in hopes Harry won't see me.

"That ass though!" I hear him yell right when I reach the doorway and I squeal and quickly close the door before he can come in after me. I hear him laugh on the other side of it, his head making a thumping sound from resting it against the door. He yells how he loves me and to let him in but I shake my head and tell him I need to shower. I grin at the sound of him whining, laughing to myself in happiness. How could I ever leave him again?

................

"You two missed one hell of a good time last night." Louis said, shaking his head at us as he sat down on the couch and dug into his lunch we've just got back from getting. He chewed on the fry he had stuck in his mouth before speaking again. "Seriously, that club was ace."

"I don't think we missed out on much." Harry muttered and Louis scowled at him.

"Trust me, sitting around watching tv was not worth missing that club."

Harry smirked and threw a dark look, making me sink down further into the couch to hide. "Watching tv, was very much worth it."

Louis looked at Harry then at me, his eyes narrowing before he slowly picked up another fry to put it in his mouth. He chewed on it and pointed between the two of us, not saying anything except making a low "mhm." Sound. I rolled my eyes and bit into my burger, I know I had said I was going to be careful about what I ate from now on but Jesus I was craving it so much and Niall teased me with his own and I just couldn't help it.

"So what are we doing today?" Nicole plopped down on the couch next to me, throwing her feet up on the coffee table.

"Well we are going to the club again tonight," Louis pointed at Harry and I. "You two are going this time, you aren't going to be sitting here watching the again." He smirked knowingly at me and my cheeks flushed.

"Yeah, okay whatever fine." Harry waved Louis off and he grinned happily before biting into his burger. Liam and Zayn were sharing fries and I tried not to laugh when Liam have Zayn a dirty look for taking the last one.

"Okay, but I meant during the day? It's only noon." Niall said and I swallowed the burger down before answering.

"Emma and James are still gone so I'm not sure what there is to do."

"They have a pool." Zayn pointed out and everyone seemed to come up with the same idea of swimming. I was okay with it, but felt like maybe we should ask Emma before we used it.

"Isn't it too cold to swim?" Nicole asked. "And we should probably ask James or Emma before we use it." She said my thoughts out loud.

"Something tells me they have a heated pool." Liam said and slid off the stool he was sitting on by the island, walking to the kitchen counter. "James left his number here," he picked up a piece of paper and waved it at me. "Kaydence, call and ask."

I held my hand out for him to hand me the paper and he walked over, placing it in my hand. I pulled my phone out and dialed the number before bringing it to my ear. James answered right away and after asking how their stay was last night, I asked if we could use the pool. He was more then happy to tell me yes and had said they were getting ready to leave his parents house and would be home soon. I hung up the phone and once I told everyone he said it was okay, we all quickly changed into our suits and headed outside.

The pool was, like Liam said, heated and was warm the moment I stepped inside it. Nicole and I both relaxed when it reached our waists, and we had just tied our hair up to keep from getting wet when Louis, Niall, and Harry had jumped in right beside us. Nicole squealed when the water splashed us while I sort of just held my hands above my face and flinched away, throwing a hard glare at a laughing Harry. We swam around for awhile, Nicole and I having girl talk and I willed myself to tell her about last night. She screamed so loud and when I darted my eyes across the pool I saw Harry smirking at me, knowing I told her. I told her to hush and it had been so amusing to see how one moment she wanted the details then the next threatened me to cut my throat if I told her.

"Did anything happen with you and Niall last night after the club?"I ask her and she presses her lips together, her cheeks turning pink. I gasp and silently squeal, bringing my hand to my mouth to suppress it.

"Oh, something did. Tell me right now." I say, a threatening tone in my voice. She moved closer to me and dipped her head down closer to my ear.

"We didn't have sex but we like, did oral stuff." She says quietly and my mouth falls open.

"How was it?" I ask, it isn't strange for me to hear about her and Niall considering Niall and I hadn't been long time friends.

"He is good." She fanned herself and I laughed at her reaction, earning a curious stare from both Harry and Niall. Oh, if they only knew.

We spent the next few minutes talking about her and Niall, then on to what we were going to wear to the club tonight. Harry had dragged me away from Nicole in the middle of me trying to decide an outfit, and dipped underwater, moving my legs around his shoulders. He stood up and I quickly clung to the top of his head to keep from slipping.

"We're playing chicken." I looked around and saw Niall standing from underwater with Nicole on his shoulders. I grinned and threw Nicole a devious smile when she cracked her neck dramatically. We played three rounds, Nicole won one of them and I had won the other two. Her and Niall would not stop shouting how unfair it was because Harry was taller then Niall so we had an advantage. I rolled my eyes at them and couldn't help but smile at the two of them teaming up against Harry and I. They really were perfect for each other.

Emma and James came home with the kids in the middle of Nicole and Niall demanding a rematch. Char had ran up to go get her swimsuit on and Emma asked us about our nights, asking what we did. Harry opened his mouth to answer and I quickly rushed to beat him to it, knowing his response would probably be something cheeky with a hidden meaning. After chatting with us a bit longer, Emma and James had headed inside when Char came running out. We swam and played Marco Polo and colors for the next two hours, until we all decided we've had enough for the day. It was late afternoon and I wanted to rest before tonight.

I had gone to the room to take a nap when Harry had said he was going to go talk to the boys. I nodded and minutes later Nicole came walking in.

"Everything okay?" I asked as she climbed up on the bed and lied down next to me.

"Yeah, Harry said he needed to talk to the boys alone and I don't feel like being by myself." She shrugged and my eyebrows furrowed. What was he going to talk to them about? Maybe how management called.

"Want to take a nap with me?" I ask Nicole and she nods, smiling and cuddling up against my shoulder. We both closed our eyes and by the time they opened again, I felt groggy and had no idea what day it was. How long had we been sleeping? Nicole was still passed out on my shoulder but woke up when I leaned over to look at the time to see it was already past seven. Shit, we were asleep for a long time.

"Is Harry still out there?" I ask Nicole even though it's a dumb question considering she's been asleep with me the whole time. She blinks at me and I don't wait for her to respond as I move to get up. I walk out the bedroom and down the hallway, hearing voices coming from the living room. I stop when I reach the door way, moving behind the wall when I hear my name.

"You love her?"

"Yeah." I hear Harry say and I peek around the wall to see him sitting in a circle with the boys, his hands clasped and hanging between his legs.

"It's about time you admitted it, mate." Liam pats Harry on the back and I smile at the way Harry grins at him. He looks so happy.

"You lads knew it all along, I was just so hurt I didn't want to admit to you guys, let alone myself." He shrugged and looked down at the floor. "I'm done pretending, I want to go back to being the old me. The old Harry."

"You're already the old Harry." Niall says and Harry looks up, glancing at each of his friends. He nods his head and his mouth pulls into a small smile.

"I know, I can feel it."

"It's because of her, you know." Louis says and Zayn nods.

"She brings out the best in you." He says and I feel my heart plummet in my chest and my eyes water. Their words were very touching and I took a silent deep breath to keep from crying and running out there to hug them all.

"She does...I love her." Harry says and each of them smile so big, like they were glad to hear him say it. I have the urge to rush out and throw myself at Harry but I don't. I decide I've eavesdropped enough and move back down the hallway, purposely making noises and tapping my hand against the wall. I hear their talking come to a halt and I yawn loudly, moving to the door frame again and stopping when I reach it. They all stare at me and I gaze back at them, forcing a confused expression on my face.

"Did I interrupt something?" I try to play dumb but my mouth is twitching into a smile, I have to restrain myself from letting it show.

"We know you were listening, Kaydence." Louis says and my face drops, my mouth turning into a frown.

"How..."

"We heard you open the door, love." Harry says simply, biting his lip to keep from smiling. I crossed my arms over my chest in embarrassment and Harry chuckled, holding his arms open for me. "Come here."

I slowly and shyly walked over to Harry, feeling five pair of eyes on me. I stopped when I reached Harry and he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me onto his lap and kissing my cheek. He rested his chin on my shoulder and I tried not to blush knowing his friends were watching.

"It's okay, I don't mind you being nosey."

"I was not." I defend myself and this time all five of them laugh at me. Harry tightens his arms around my waist and kisses my cheek again.

"I love you so much." He says to me, loud and clear for his closest friends to hear. My face gets hot but there was something about the way he said it out loud, directing it to me but not even caring that we had witnesses. It was like a declaration and it made my insides melt, and my heart to pick up speed. And suddenly I didn't care that my face was red, that they could see how embarrassed I was or how shy I felt. Let them see how he affects me, I didn't care that they were watching us anymore as I turned around and threw my arm around his shoulder, leaning in to kiss his lips. I knew they were staring but I didn't give a shit, let them see how I felt.

"I love you too."
