Peekaboo Harry • HS

"DANIELLE MOON!"

"COMING! Jesus!" she hissed and snatched her hand away from Harry's delicious body. She took her iPod and shoved it in his hands. "There. Talk to me. I set up a Skype account for us both." She smirked as he failed to respond properly, his eyes still glued to where her hand had been only a few seconds ago. "Just text me, okay?"

"But, Dani..."

"Harry, I've got to go!" Dani quickly bent down to kiss him on the lips, her cheeks burning, and locked her room before making sure the stone was in her hands. "I'll miss you!"

Dani recalled telling Jewel that it would be hard to find a boyfriend because it was going to be hard to match their level of dedication to each other. The almost 24/7 conversations, the constant need to communicate - they simply couldn't think of anyone who can do it long term. As she watched her grandmother shop for whatever, Dani wondered how Harry would be as a texter.

Was he the one who texted first? Or was he the type to wait for minutes before sending a reply? Did he text with his long words or just curt ones? When she got a notification, Dani didn't waste another minute and opened it.

10:31AM Harry: I want to send you a picture but the camera isn't working.

Weird, Dani thought. Then again, maybe it was better that way. Didn't Small Simon warn them about not taking pictures? Maybe they should heed his warning if they wanted to get through this in one piece.

10:32AM Dani: It's fine. How are you? Did you miss me already?

10:32AM Harry: I do :(

10:34AM Dani: What are you doing?

10:34AM Harry: Nothing. :(

10:35AM Harry: I'm thinking about you. :)

10:38AM Dani: What about me?

10:38AM Harry: Your smile. Your hair. Your skin. Your eyes.

Dani wanted to die then and there. How long had she dreamt of someone romancing her like this? She truly cannot ask for anything more.

10:41AM Harry: Your lips. Your voice. Your hands.

10:41AM Harry: When you touch me I don't want you to stop.

Her body felt flushed. Excited. Why couldn't she just go home!? Quickly, she typed back.

10:45AM Dani: Harry. You are driving me crazy. I'm with my grandmother!

10:46AM Harry: That's revenge for leaving me! :)

10:49AM Dani: Why Harry Styles, I didn't think you had it in you!

10:55AM Harry: :( I'm sorry, Dani. Do you still like me?

11:00AM Dani: WTF I LOVE YOU! I was actually impressed.

11:00AM Harry: I want to fuck you. >:)

11:20AM Dani: DYING.

11:20AM Harry: Oh no, Dani, please don't die! I can't go there to save you! :(((((((

11:30AM Dani: Nvm. Haha. I love you. I s2g you're the nicest human being in the whole world.

11:31AM Harry: What does s2g mean? Is that a place in Singapore?

11:31AM Dani: Swear to god. Haha hubby I think your jokes are finally funny.

11:33AM Harry: jokes? I have one! :D

11:33AM Harry: Knock knock.

11:34AM Dani: Come in. Naked.

"Danielle, you're always smiling on your phone!" her grandmother's voice called behind her. Sneaking a peak at her phone for a bit, she smiled. "Danielle???"

11:35AM Harry: Dani you're supposed to say who's there :(((((

11:40AM Dani: gtg hubby i'll brb

11:40AM Harry: wifey :(

Sadly, there hadn't been anything Dani could do but to be at her grandmother's beck and call. And while she trailed after Mommy Do like a zombie because she couldn't function enough because of all the thoughts about Harry in her head. She wondered if this was going to happen when Harry went on tours. Will they text like this? Sext at night?

When Harry texted her that they should go on another date tomorrow, Dani was elated. Now, she felt like Harry's presence in her life was so real. He was her real boyfriend, and she was literally his girlfriend. She wondered when Harry would decide to make her his real wifey...? Thoughts about marriage made Dani want to explode with happiness.

Hours later and finally back home, Dani simply collapsed on the bed out of exhaustion, with faint memories of Harry kissing her goodnight.

Later that night, she would dream about meeting Harry Styles in another universe. She'd be living in the UK for work, and then on one sad night, she found a drunk Harry outside a bar. Then she kidnapped him while Stockholm Syndrome was playing in the background. It was so weird, because through it all, Harry never once freaked out. It was like he wanted to be kidnapped or something. Even in her dreams, Harry had a heart of gold. When the dream ended, they got married (and even Jewel and the rest of the boys were there). It all happened so fast. It was exciting, and she almost wanted it to go on forever. 

When she got detailed dreams like these, Dani usually didn't want to wake up, but this time around, she had never felt so eager to open her eyes. True enough, the next morning, a breathtaking vision of bright green eyes and curly hair welcomed her to a new day.

"Good morning, wifey," he whispered after their first night together in her dream. "I missed you terribly. Do you know how much I love you?"

"How much?" she murmured drowsily.

"So much it makes me ache," he whispered. "You're my pain and my cure."

Dani felt warm tears sting the back of her eyes.

"I love you, Dani Moon. I love you with all my heart."

For once, Dani's reality was better than her dreams.

She felt alive.
