A/N: (M) as it will be a mature chapter :)
________________________________________________
Harry's POV.
I wasn't the same all day. Every time someone spoke to me i'd have them repeat it 2/3 times before answering. I couldn't get the image of Charlotte crying out of my head. All the things i promised her - every last thing.
I just blew it all away.
I couldn't help but feel sick, my nerves for tonight, the fact i'm having to spend the day with a girl who isn't Charlotte, and the fact that she's half way across the Atlantic - without me.
I thought getting her the job at Vogue was something she wanted. I knew i shouldn't have done it all for her, but at the time i thought i was just making her happy. But now i think about it - it was a stupid move.
Charlotte's strong, and independent. She likes working for her own stuff, maybe me handing everything to her was the wrong idea. She doesn't want to be with me for my money, or what i can do. She just wants me for me.
"You okay man?" Niall ask a little frown on his face.
I nod warming up my vocals. Tonight is going to be huge. I can't let this bring me down. Close friends, family and girlfriends are here tonight. And the one person who isn't here, is the only person i wish was here.
We all prep ourselves, talking to one another, Eleanor,Danielle and Perrie all came in wishing the boys good luck, i look up and watch the door in hopes she'd come through - but i know that's wishful thinking.
Minutes later, the door re-opens, and this time she does walk through. I almost double take when i see her.
"Charlotte!" Niall cheers hugging her.
I walk over to her but sense her annoyance straight away. "You came." I smile.
The boys leave us to ourselves feeling the awkward tension. "Yeah, couldn't let the boys down." She says averting her eyes from me, the action hurt but i knew only i was to blame.
"I'm sorry."
She nodded. "Tonights a happy night. It's for you and the boys to celebrate your success. Let's not ruin it."
I nod and watch as she passes me to speak with Eleanor.
Charlotte's POV.
"What's going on with you and Harry then?" Eleanor asks as we sit in our seats. I was slightly intimidated by how huge the Garden actually is.
Perrie leaned over, "Yeah, you could have cut the tension back there with a knife."
I was about to tell them when she walked past. The leggy blonde who Harry had been playing boyfriend to.
The girls all straightened their backs and stared at her as she took her seat, her hair in a effortless pony, and her makeup looking like it was tattooed on it was that precise and perfect.
"I think i know what you argued about." Danielle spoke, the other girls nodded as Eleanor - forever my support unit took hold of my hand.
"She's got nothing on you." She whispered as the show roared to life.
After the show finished, everyone was full of excitement and hysteria. I followed the girls backstage to see she was already by Harry's side talking with Ed Sheeran, laughing and joking. I couldn't help but feel the slight lump in my throat appear as i watched how perfect they looked together.
Harry's eyes caught mine and he slowly walked over. "Enjoy the show?"
I nodded. "It was amazing."
He smiled. "Where are you going now?"
I looked around at everyone before looking back into his eyes. "I think i'm going to catch the next plane home."
I felt his hand slowly take hold of mine. "Stay."
"Where?"
"My hotel room is pretty big.. and lonely."
I looked up at him. "This doesn't mean you're out of the woods."
He smiles. "I know." He then frowns. "Where are your bags?"
"Eleanor and Louis' room."
He nods and we make our way towards everyone else.
Once we get back to Harry's hotel room i grab one of his shirts and wear it for bed rather than bothering Eleanor and Louis.
"I'm sorry for hurting you." Harry whispers as we cuddle together in bed.
I sigh, my back to him. "It's okay."
"No, it's not."
I feel his hands on my thigh. "I don't want to put anyone else first. You're my number one. But when it comes to following what management say..I don't really have much choice."
"I know, i shouldn't have made you choose. I know you put me first..It's just hard for me."
"It's hard for me too. It won't be long until it's all over. They said as soon as New Year's is over they'll end it."
I nod happy that i only have to put up with it for a few more weeks.
"I adore you, Charlotte."
I knew he wanted to say the three words, i knew they were on his lips.
"I adore you too."
I felt his hands slide up my thigh some more. "Harry.."
"Just let me show you..how much i adore you."
He gently pushes me to my back as he climbs to hover over me. "I.."
"I won't hurt you. Remember? I'm always going to keep you safe."
He slowly slides down my body kissing my stomach on his way.
He pulls down my shorts and kisses each hip bone before bringing his lips to my hood. I spread my legs as he uses his fingers to spread me for him. I feel his mouth attach to my skin and instantly my eyes shut as my mouth parts. I buck my hips towards his mouth and he chuckles the vibrations making my legs shake slightly.
I hadn't ever felt like this before in my entire life.
I felt him suck with slight pressure against my nub, i couldn't stop the moan coming from my lips. "Don't stop." I cry as he continues, his cheeks going hollow as i pull on his hair. My thighs spasm as he releases it and flicks my nub back and fourth slowly with the tip of his tongue, his eyes meeting mine as he smirks up at me.
I felt his fingers at my center, his finger pressed into me ever so slightly. "Do it, oh my god do it." I pant as he presses it in further, curling it up and reaching a spot that has never been reached before. His finger started working inside of me in cooperation with his tongue and eventually, i came crashing down.
"Oh my god." I sigh, my heart pounding.
He laughs laying beside me as he wipes his mouth. "You taste good."
I swipe his arm, the blush appearing on my face.
"Am i forgiven now?"
I smile in a daze. "One hundred percent."
He places his hand on my leg. "You're still shaking."
I chuckle taking hold of his hand. "I adore you."
I feel him kiss my forehead. "I adore you too."
