Chapter 57: Relieved
Recap:
(Jade's POV)
"I- I love you, Harry." I whispered against his chest.
His heart was beating calmly against his ribcage, his arms pulling me close by the waist.
"I love you too. Now shut up and kiss me."
I couldn't help but let laughter escape my lips. My face still felt moist from the tears, from earlier but I finally felt happy. Harry is with me and I couldn't be more relieved.
I leaned back and slightly looked up to meet his gaze.
"But I'm sick. I don't want you to get sick too!" I spoke, sniffling a bit for proof.
The smile on Harry's face was contagious. Soon enough, I was smiling at him too.
"Hmm," He went into thought. "Fuck that."
He pressed his lips to mine and I felt my eyes flutter shut. Without even thinking, my hands found their way to his hair. His hair was soft and smooth against my hands but not as soft as his lips. The tenderness and warmness of his lips made my heart flutter. How our lips molded together was indescribable.
We stumbled back and I felt my back press against the cool wall. His tongue smoothly glide over my bottom lip, asking for permission, being the gentleman he is. My lips parted automatically, giving us both the access we craved. I pulled his head towards me by his neck. He groaned as I pulled on his hair with my other hand. I heard a thump as his forearms pressed against the wall beside me. Our bodies were pressed together in a beautiful mess.
We both pulled back, resting our foreheads against each others.
"I've wanted to do that for so long." He panted, smiling at me.
I smiled back, almost completely out of breath.
"You're an amazing kisser." I breathed-out, still trying to catch my breath.
He winked, making me giggle. "Only for you, babe."
I full-on laughed at his cheeky comment. I felt the redness on my cheeks deepen as Harry kept smiling at me. Eventually, he joined me, laughing along. The sound of us laughing together was one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard.
We calmed down a bit and he stared intently at me. I sniffled and shuffled around, which didn't work, thanks to his arms that were still trapping me. I gave up, and looked down at my bunny slippers, breaking eye contact.
"What happened?" I asked quietly. When he didn't say anything, I looked back up at him.
His hand gently carressed my cheek as he moved stray hair out of my face, tucking it behind my ear. Harry's gaze was intent and I could feel his breath fanning my face.
"You're so beautiful." His accent rang out in the empty room..
I felt the blush on my cheeks deepen as I trained my gaze back onto the floor. I was smiling like an idiot. His hand made its way to the elastic which held my hair up. He tugged on it, making my hair fall down in its natural dark-brown waves.
He leaned forward and kissed my burning-red cheek. I felt his lips by my ear. He placed another soft kiss under my ear before he whispered.
"Let's sit down?"
I hummed a response and he intertwined our hands together. He pulled back and we walked over to the couch in a comfortable silence. I was still trying to get my heart to calm down but that wasn't really working.
Harry sat down, kicking his feet up on the foot rest.
"Sit here." He ordered, patting a spot in between his legs.
I smiled and sat down so that his legs were on either side of my waist. He brought his arms around and started pressing buttons on the controller. I leaned my head back against his chest as I watched the screen.
"You wanna play with me?" Harry asked, like a three-year-old.
I chuckled a bit, "Which game?"
"Mm.. you choose." He rested his chin on my shoulder.
I hummed in thought. "Oh! I got it!" I yelped. "Let's play MarioKart!"
"Yeah! I call Mario."
"Oh, I call Peach!" I said excitedly.
"You're my Peach." He stated.
"And you're my Mario... except you're a hotter version."
We both bursted into laughter. Gosh, it felt great to laugh.
"Wow, we are really cheesy and cliche!" I pointed-out.
He chuckled deeply, his chest vibrating against my back.
"I like being cheesy." He whispered, moving my hair and kissing my neck.
I felt goosebumps rise on my skin with his touch.
LIAM'S POV:
I ended up telling everyone, who already knew about the situation, Harry's side of the story. We have all understood what happened which is good... we just hope that Jade will understand.
"Guys, Harry and Jade have been in the back room for quite a while now." Eleanor spoke from beside Louis.
"Yeah," Louis hummed. "Someone should go check up on them.
"I'll go." I stood up, straightening out my jeans.
"Hurry back." Sophia whispered to me.
I nodded. "Will do."
I started walking down the narrow hallway, to the back room. The bus was still driving us to the next location but I guess it's not that bad.
I tapped my knuckles against the wood work of the door. Instead of the door opening, I overheard yelling.
"How?! Why would you do that?!" Jade asked.
"Because I wanted to!" Harry rebutted, both of them quite loud.
What?
I slowly opened the door and poked my head inside.
I saw Harry sitting on the couch with Jade. Their eyes were glued to the tv screen as Mario and Peach sped down a race track.
"Frick! What does the mushroom do?!" Jade yelled, fingers furiously hitting buttons.
"I dunno!" Harry replied, laughing loudly afterwards.
"What?! Did you just hit me with a banana?!"
Harry giggled. "Um... oops?"
After that, the victory music played and Harry cheered while Jade pouted.
"That wasn't fair." She grumbled.
"It was too." Harry replied, pecking her breifly on the lips.
Jade rolled her eyes when Harry pulled back. Her eyes flickered to the door and she smiled a bit at me.
"Hi, Liam!" She chirped, completely forgetting about the game she just lost.
I waved as Harry looked over at me.
"So, everything is alright, eh?" I asked, smirking a bit.
Jade smiled and nodded, "Thanks to you!"
I shook my head, "Nah."
Harry smiled genuinly. "Yeah, mate. I don't know that I would do without you." He jokingly flew a flying kiss at me.
I 'caught' the flying kiss and tapped my cheek, making them laugh.
"It was no problem. I'm glad you're back together. Oh, and I told the others what happened... I hope you don't mind." I rambled.
Harry and Jade kept smiling. "It's all good, mate." Harry confirmed.
I nodded. "Good. I'll be in the front."
They waved at me as I walked out into the hallway, shutting the door behind me. I made my way to the front of the bus, where everyone else was sitting.
Everyone was imersed in their own conversations until I came.
"How are they?" Niall asked.
"They're all good." I smiled.
I plopped down beside Sophia, automatically hanging my arm around her shoulders. She turned her head and pecked my cheek.
"So, they're alright again?" She asked.
I nodded, "Yeah, thankfully."
I'm glad they're alright.
