Meant To Be

Chapter 38

I woke up to Mary-Beth, Liam, Niall, and Louis jumping on Mary-Beth and my bed.

"Wake up!! It's Christmas eve!! Even though we are trapped inside, we're still going to have an epic day!!" I don't know who said that.

I opened my eyes and everyone was in their pj's. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"Isn't it suppost to be Christmas day that everyone wakes up early?" I asked.

"Early? It's 11. It's so not early," Mary-Beth said.

"Really? Wow, ok," I said. I felt as Harry shifted next to me.

"What are you doing?" he asked everyone.

"Come on Harry. Get up. We have a fun day ahead of us," Louis said while hitting Harry with a pillow.

"Wow," Harry said with a laugh. "Is this how our children will be?" Did he really just say that? I froze and looked at Harry. Everyone stopped jumping and looked at him too.

Harry just admitted he sees a future with me. That he thinks about having kids. He must've thought about it before or else he wouldn't have said that.

Harry started to turn pink. "I didn't mean it like that. I mean, I did but I meant like if we were and stuff. I mean, we like are...but at the same time it's like..." I found it adorable how he was fumbling with his words.

"Ok.. Get up you two. Do your morning routine, then meet us in the hall in twenty," Mary-Beth said before dragging the boys out of the room.

"I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be right back," I said to Harry. I moved out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom.

"Wait. Maria-"

"It's ok Harry. You can go do you're necessities if you need to leave. I'll be right back." I stepped into the bathroom.

After a couple minutes, I came out of the bathroom and Harry was sitting on my bed wearing different pajamas. I moved to my drawer to see what pj's to wear.

"Maria. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I do see a future with us and all, but I didn't mean to just blurt that out like that." I stopped what I was doing and walked over to him. I stood in between his legs and grabbed his hands.

"Harry. It's ok. I know you didn't mean it like that. Don't worry about it."

"But I know you'll keep thinking about it. I don't want that to happen to you. I mean, I do see a future with us-"

"Harry. It's ok. I won't think about it too much. Let's just plan on talking about this all later in the future. Right now, let's go have some fun."

"Ok." I kissed his forehead and started off towards the dresser. Harry grabbed my arm and twirled me back into him. He kissed me. It was a sort of a thank you kiss. One that lasted a while.

Once we broke, I smiled at him and headed towards the dresser. "Mary-Beth said to wear you're Superman onesie," Harry told me.

"Ok. Thank you." I grabbed the onesie and headed to the bathroom. I changed and put my hair into a ponytail. When I walked out, I said, "Ready to go?" He nodded and we both headed into the hall.

......

Harry's P.O.V

I still can't believe I said that out loud. Know she must think I want kids. I mean, I'm not saying that I don't, I'm just saying that we're not even married. Will we even get married? That's a big commitment, but that is a commitment that I'm willing to take on if she's with me.

Why am I thinking of this. We're still young. We just started dating, I mean it's crazy. It's crazy..but I'm crazy. I'm crazy about her. No. You can't start thinking like this. You love her, yes, but you don't know how she feels.

Why is this so hard. Is it because I love her? I wish I could tell her, but I haven't the guts. I...I..I'm scared. I'm scared that she might not feel the same way, that she'll leave.

"Please don't leave," I found myself saying out loud. My thoughts were interrupted when Maria walked out of the bathroom in her Superman onesie, and her hair in a ponytail.

"Ready to go?" I nodded towards her and stood up, heading into the hall.

Once we stepped into the hall, there was a huge list on the wall.

"What's all this?" I asked.

"We're having a scavenger hunt," Niall said. I looked down at Maria, and she had a huge smile on her face.

"Really?" She said with excitement. They all nodded their heads.

"I put objects in different rooms and everyone has to search for them," Niall said. He handed everyone a piece of paper and a pencil. He went over the rules, and told us how much time we have. "Ready and go!" Everyone started searching for the items on the list. I saw as Maria walked into the room at the end of the hall, and came out with a basket, an item on the list.

Once it was 12:30, we all met back where we started. We counted up all of our items, and in the end, Liam won.

I looked towards Maria. "It's ok baby. You'll always be a winner in my eyes." I picked her up and gave her a long kiss.

"Thank you," she said. She had a huge smile on her face. I love seeing her smile. It's so beautiful, and it makes me happy. I set her down.

"Ok. Is everyone ready for the next event?" Niall asked.

"What's the next event?" I asked. Niall motioned for me to come over to him. He whispered in my ear, "We're going to play monster and chase the girls." I let out a small laugh.

"Ok."

"So what's the next game?" Maria asked.

"Monster," Niall said. Maria and Mary-Beth looked at each other in confusion until we all started chasing after them. Maria let out a small scream of laughter when I caught her in my arms.

"That's so unfair," she said in between laughters. I turned her around and looked at her. She leaned in to kiss me. She ran her tongue along me lip, causing me to loose focus on the world. She ran away while I was out of it.

"That's so unfair," I said.

"Sucks," she said with laughter while running into one of the hotel rooms. I ran after her, and when I got in the room, she was out of sight.

I looked under he bed and she wasn't there. I looked in the closet and the bathroom, but she was no where. When I turned around though, she was behind me and she wrapped her arms around me.

"Now I caught you." She smiled at me and I leaned in for a kiss.

The girl that I'm kissing right now is the girl I'm in love with. The girl that I do see a future with. It was at that point that I decided to tell her I love her. I will do it. I will.
