Carrington Hill

It was definitely too early when the first alarm went off in the dark room. The curtains were pulled in, the duvet was up to my chin and warm, large arms and hands kept me safe while my body was curled up on the soft mattress of the bed. The room became silent once the alarm went off. The heavy breathing which filled the room was no longer hearable, the steady heartbeat against my back has changed and wandering hands slipped under my t-shirt. Goosebumps covered my body as fingers ran up and down my stomach then soon enough they disappeared.

Soft kisses were pressed on my right shoulder when I felt a hand gently cup one of my breasts through the semi thick material of my shirt. A lazy smile stretched on my lips as I enjoyed the gentle waking up by the boy who made me go crazy. His leg slipped between mine and he rubbed the side of his calf against mine. His hairy leg tickled mine which caused a small giggle to push through my lips.

"Good morning, sunshine," were the first proper words I heard that morning through a low and croaky voice. More kisses were pressed on my shoulder and down to the side of my neck before I felt soft lips against my cheek. "Let's get up, yeah?" he asked me as he squeezed my boob that he still held in his hand.

I rolled onto my back which made him do the same and I lost all contact with him. He quickly changed positions and hovered over me, his fingers brushed my hair out of my face and off my cheek where it stuck to my skin. He chuckled softly and he ran his index finger along my face. The sheet of the pillow most probably made an imprint on my cheek and the fact that he found that entertaining made me melt like butter on a rather warm toast.

Hmm, toast with a lot of butter.

"What are you thinking of?" he asked me with an arched brow as I licked my lips.

Right.

He must have thought I had dirty thoughts in my head when in reality I was just thinking about food.

"Food," I answered anyway and his smile faded a little. I laughed and poked his exposed chest.

"Of course," he muttered as he let me sit up and I just grinned.

I turned around a little as I cracked my spine then my neck which was followed by Harry's unnecessary comments about how disgusting that is. I rolled my eyes and I got out of bed – well, I was trying to.

"I need my morning kisses first," Harry held on to my wrist as he mumbled the words to me, his eyes closed and lips puckered, ready for the kiss.

"And I need to brush my teeth," I said and I pulled away. I heard him whine as he laid flat out in the bed, my eyes roamed up and down his toned, tattoo covered and tan body before I stepped into his bathroom.

I looked like a right mess but at least I didn't have black circles under my eyes. That was a good start.

After I brushed my teeth and so did Harry, I went downstairs while he took a shower. I didn't really think much of it as I looked through his fridge in my Disney princess pyjama pants and loose shirt with my hair in a messy bun. I took the butter out of the fridge and like I thought about it after I got up, I made myself some toasts. That was a bit too bland so I decided to chuck some jam on top but then I also saw the bacon Harry made me yesterday and I had to eat some of that too. I was too lazy to put it in a pan and let it fry a bit though so I just ate it sort of raw. Well, it wasn't raw because it's already been precooked and all that jazz so I was fine.

With the toast in my hand I was dancing and singing around until I was interrupted by another person. Who was not Harry.

It was Rose.

She chuckled as she watched me stop abruptly, the piece of toast half way in my mouth. I waved with my empty hand and smiled which she did back to me.

"Well, good morning, Carrington," she smiled at me as she put two orange carrier bags on the countertop. "How come you are up so early?"

"Good morning," I said once I swallowed my food. "I have a dance competition today and I'm doing my own makeup so I had to get out of bed earlier."

"Oh, right," she nodded. "Harry mentioned that you have a competition and you two will be away the whole day because of it. He also said to come a bit earlier so I can prepare some breakfast for you two but it seems like you are already sorted."

"Yes I was starving when I got up," I laughed. "But I'll gladly eat whatever you make Harry."

"I was thinking of some French toast and maybe waffles?" she said while she put her bag down and started to unpack the bags.

"That sounds mouth-watering," I said as I stuffed the last piece of my toast in my mouth with a strip of bacon and then I shoved the butter and the rest of the bacon in the fridge.

"Did you just have jam toast with bacon?" Rose asked me and when I nodded she laughed with her hand on her stomach.

"I like weird combinations of food. For instance, Harry thinks that eating maccies chips with milkshake is vile but I personally love it. I think it's gorgeous."

"You are disgusting," came the comment from the boy who I mentioned.

"Speaking of the devil," Rose laughed. "Good morning Harry."

"Good morning, Rose," he smiled at the woman and he took a seat on the high stool chair. "What are we having for early-early breakfast then?"

"Waffles and French toast."

"Sounds lush," Harry said and I laughed. He looked at me confused. "What?"

"Since when do you say lush? I never heard you say lush," I told him as I took a seat on his other side.

"Well," he said as he put his hand on my thigh. "You have a lot to learn about me then."

"Do I really though?" I asked him as I looked at him with a questioning look and a huge grin. He nodded and leaned more towards me, his lips caught mine in a little kiss and he squeezed my thigh.

"Should we pick Alex up on our way to the venue?" he asked me as he propped his elbow up on the countertop and leaned his head in the palm of his hand. I shrugged at his question, his offer didn't surprise me but at the same time it did.

"I haven't spoken to him yet."

"Well call him and ask him. I'm sure he's up too."

"I usually wake him up like half an hour before we have to go. He gets ready fast so I doubt he's up yet."

"Ah, alright," he mumbled. "What makeup will you do?"

"I'm not sure. Probably something light."

After my second breakfast I started to do my makeup. Harry sat on the side of the sink next to me as I applied the products to my face and we listened to music, chatted here and there. Since I had time I decided to do my hair as well. My makeup turned out to be a black smokey eye with deep red lips and Harry seemed absolutely shocked once he seen the finished look. My hair had to be slicked all the way back which took a bit of time to do but I got there in the end. I put the ends in a low bun and put some hair wax on that too to secure it in place.

Harry told me I looked totally different and that he couldn't stop staring at me which I noticed too. Not that I minded having his eyes on me, the way he looked up and down on me I felt good and confident that I left him so speechless. He tried to get me to show him my dress as well but the only sneak peek he got was my shoes. He seemed interested even by that so that took his mind off of the dress which he so desperately wanted to see.

We met up with Alex and his girlfriend at the venue once we bought the tickets to get in. Harry was lovely enough to carry my dress bags which covered up the dresses I will be wearing. I didn't even mention it to Harry but we might be here until like eleven pm so I hoped he had nothing to do.

Our dance tutor was already there who welcomed us and I introduced Harry to him. He was the loveliest dance tutor ever though he knew how to be strict too. Once we settled down I changed my shoes and put my dance cardigan on which had the logo on the back and everything with the matching joggers that I originally came in. Alex was dressed the same as I was although our shoes were not the same for obvious reasons.

"I'm gonna go warm up with Alex, will you be alright on your own?" I asked Harry who was sitting on the bench. We had the front row for ourselves right in front of the barrier so it was an easy access to the stage. Harry pulled me on his lap and snuck his arms around my waist. "You seem absolutely amazed," I chuckled.

"I've never been to a place like this before," he told me honestly and I smiled at him. "But, yeah, sure. I'll be good on my own. You go do what you have to."

"Okay, I'll be with you for most of the first part of the day because I'm only on after lunch break," I sighed. Harry stretched his neck up a little and puckered his lips as he asked for a kiss. "I have red lipstick on."

"I don't care," he shrugged his shoulders and leant further towards me until his lips touched mine. I smiled into the kiss and held his cheeks with my hands. "Go and dance now. I want to see my dancing queen in action."

"Alright," I rolled my eyes at the nickname or pet name he called me by as I stood up and walked down the two steps.

Alex held his hand out for me and I placed my hand in his as we walked onto the stage delicately. Currently, there was a samba song on which was one of my main favourite dances to do. My partner smiled at me as he stood a bit away from me and we began to do our choreography. At first we didn't do it properly but as we got more into the song we basically owned the stage. We were early and so we were the only ones dancing but that was okay because that way we had the chance to see what we had to work with when it came to the actual part of the competition regarding the size of the stage.

The songs were not controlled by anyone, it was put on shuffle, so after we done samba, a cha cha cha song came on and a samba again. We obviously didn't do the samba for the second time so we went back to our seats and had a drink while we sat down.

"You look so sexy and confident while you dance," Harry told me while I put my legs over his thigh so they were dangling down between his legs. I chucked down half of my water and I smiled up at him. He leaned down to me and kissed me on the lips before he squeezed my knee a little bit. "Are you done then?"

"For now," I nodded. "We might go on again, depends what song they put on," I told him and he nodded.

After a few dances more done on the stage Alex and I decided to stop for now. We still had a lot of time to go and we didn't want to tire ourselves out too much. More and more people came as the time went by, dancers from my dance studio came who I was friends with and same for Alex. We got along with everyone and I felt extremely excited to introduce them to Harry and vice versa.

So that's exactly what I did. I dragged him out of his seat as we left Alex and his girlfriend with our stuff and walked down to the others. Everyone was so surprised to see Harry there which I got from their reactions as they didn't exactly say anything verbally. It was cool to see that they acted like normal people around Harry and didn't treat him like a celebrity. He seemed more relaxed as well and he easily got into chatting with the people in the circle.

"Carrie, they have those waffles in the buffet again like last time," one of the boys told me and I swear my eyes lit up at his words. I immediately tugged on Harry's hand who was in a different conversation, looked at me right away with a soft smile on his lips.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Can we go get waffles?"

"You had waffles for breakfast."

"What is your point?" I asked him as I arched my eyebrow. My friends around us laughed and Harry just smiled.

"My point is that you already had enough sweet stuff."

"Please," I looked at him with pouted lips and those puppy eyes that never seemed to work for anyone ever when I did it.

"Nope, I'm sorry, love," he put his hand on my neck and pressed a kiss to my forehead. "I promised your mother I'd look out for you and that is what I'm doing."

"You're no fun," I shook my head.

We were done with our first category by three pm which was a relief because it was the standard dances that we had first. They were more laid back which I liked but the position I had to keep myself in was not something I enjoyed very much. Harry was amazed by my long dress and I swear he took like twenty pictures of me from every possible angle.

It was now nearing six pm and our last category was on from seven. Harry seemed absolutely knackered and he yawned countless times which he couldn't stop apologising for. We cuddled into each other on the bench until we couldn't take it anymore and we ended up going outside for a bit to get some fresh air.

I ran between his arms when we were outside since it was slightly chilly. His hands moved up and down my arm as he tried to warm me up, his soft chuckles filled my ears.

"You did so good before," he told me for the millionth time since Alex and I came off of the stage. I smiled at him and he smiled back at me. "You are amazing. And so is Alex. I'm so shocked at how good you two are."

"Well, thank you," I giggled. "Hopefully you are having at least half as much fun as I am."

"It gets a bit boring at times and I would rather stand next to you before you go on, but I get that you must be nervous too and stuff."

"You can come down if you wish," I told him. "Alex's girlfriend stands with us sometimes."

"Okay I think I'll watch you from the side then," he grinned at me and I leaned up to kiss him on the lips.

I liked him so much and it made me really really happy that he decided to come to the competition with me and support me.
