The Only Exception (H. Styles/ Bwwm)

Chapter Twenty Nine

"I love you" I whispered laying my head on his chest hearing his heartbeat happily. "I love you more" I closed my eyes taking a deep breath repeating his words in my head over and over loving them, accepting them and cherishing them.

"I never thought I could feel so happy... so.... Complete. I was happy but, now I feel whole with you here with me" I whispered opening my eyes to see Gabby. I lets my fingers touch her curls gently as I thought of what to say.

"My whole perspective on life has changed. I didn't care about anyone else but myself and doing whatever I wanted until... you gave me her. I'm complete. But, It just makes me wonder..." "Wonder what?" he asked instantly running his hand up and down my back slowly.

I sat back up looking down at him serious "Do you feel the same? Do I give you what you give me? I know I'm not perfect girl and this is new for me so I just wan-" "Lauryn" he snapped out instantly making me shut up nervous and he looked at me with an emotionless face.

He pushed me back as he let Gabby go sitting up. I looked at him a bit confused backing up and giving him space but, he grabbed my wrist pulling me back to him. He looked down at my hands kissing each one gently before looking up at me.

"Renny... I've had the biggest crush on you, for over five years. I agreed to the friends with benefits but trust me, I wanted more than sex. I love being around you, talking to you, hearing you talk, laugh, joke, everything. No other girl has made me feel the way you do and you should know that. After all, I came back for you" he whispered out squeezing my hands gently.

I swallowed hard watching him as his thumbs gently ran over the back of my hands. "Even after four years without you, I still couldn't replace you. I can't talk to anyone like I talk to you, I can't laugh, I can't be happier than I am with you.... you are my perfect girl and if I lose you, I don't know what I would do. I want- need you forever"

I tried to fight tears but I couldn't help it. I pulled away getting off the bed to get a few tissues out of the bathroom quickly smiling with tears of joy.

This can't be real.

I can't be this lucky.

I could feel him behind me "You have a way with words Harry... turning me into a crybaby. A big pile of mush" he chuckled pulling me into him kissing my head turning me around to face him. "I love that I'm the one making you like this" I giggled putting my head on his chest gripping his tee taking a deep breath.

I looked up at him "Me too and you'll be the only one" he pushed me back into to the sink picking me up then put me on it. He made his way between my thighs squeezing them making me laugh as he shh'd me.

He let go of my thighs coming up to my head cupping it before leaning down to press his lips to mine. I pulled him closer letting his tongue slip into my mouth "So fucking beautiful" me whispered against my lips pulling me into him.

I smirked into the kiss biting his bottom lip making him tense and lowly moan. His hand came up to the back of my neck gripping onto my scarf and I instantly stopped him. "I'm not messing up my wash and blowout" "I'll take you to get one tomorrow-" "I'm natural baby, I don't do heat that much" he sighed shaking his head.

"So just go back to curls, I like your curls-" "No I'm gonna let this blowout stay for a bit. Don't act like you haven't seen me and had sex with this same scarf on" he busted out laughing shrugging.

"Doesn't change anything for me, just if I can pull your hair or not" "No today" I stated making him nod smiling at me.

*****

So much for my blow out....

I took a deep breath rolling my eyes. Specifically told him to leave the hair alone, bathroom sex, scarf didn't even stand a chance with him. My hair was sweated out and once the scarf fell off he really lost his mind.

Now my hair was half straight half curly and what did Harry do about it? Pass out with Gabby tiredly promising me he'll take care of it in the morning but why bother? I sighed rolling my eyes wanting to throw a pillow at him for doing this but, I will admit at the time that the scarf did not matter.

I did two braids in my hair quickly ready to fall asleep already. It sucked that this was our last day here but, we enjoyed it.

I walked out of the bathroom and over to our stuff putting all of my hair stuff in my bag as quietly as possible. That was until my phone started going off. I instantly silenced it seeing it was Bonnie.

I froze for a second looking at the phone. She knew I would be away from my phone most of the time and I knew she wouldn't call unless it was important. I sighed walking out of the room toward the back where the balcony was answering it.

"Hey Bonnie what's up?"I asked as it went silent for a few second. "Hey... how's your trip boo?" she asked trying to not act weird but, I knew her too well. "It's amazing... how is everything going with you?" I asked and it went silent again.

"Bonnie?" "Yeah, sorry about that. It's good, nothing has really changed you-" "You wouldn't call me unless it's something serious. Stop deflecting and tell me what's going on Bon. You're kind of freaking and worrying me out at the same time" I instantly said feeling anxious about what she had to tell me.

I hated beating around the bush, I rather just be told to rip the bandage off.

"Well... I know you and Harry have been going through a lot... with Amber. I knew it was bothering you but you didn't know what to do so, I did" she quickly said into the phone as I stood there looking at the waves crash on shore confused.

Amber?

She sighed "I asked someone to see if they could track her. I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to get your hopes up on finding her until I could. And I did...I found out where she's living now"

I stood in silence thinking it through. We decided to move on and let her do what she thought was best and we would focus on us. But was it because we didn't know where she was? Was he completely over it and moved on? Was this a sign to reach out?

"Send it to me"
