Chapter 41

"I didn't think you were honestly interested, I only said I was going alone to not bore you with details." I said softly, turning to my computer as Joshua came in. 

"Hey mom, hey Gracie. Oh, and Mr. Anderson?" He was confused as he pressed a kiss to my temple, narrowing his eyes at me as I begged him to help me with my eyes. 

"Joshua Ibarra. I should've known you two were related." Mr. Anderson chuckled dryly as I looked up at Josh. 

"Can you help me with some stats homework? I like the way you dumb things down for me to understand. We can do it later because Harry's coming over soon." 

"I will help you as soon as I run to the store for some things to shave. I was going to shave before I left but wanted to know if you wanted to come but obviously you have other priorities such as your boyfriend." He joked and I rolled my eyes, saving my homework before exiting the page. 

"Can you take my car to get gas? I was going to go this morning but I completely forgot to ask if I could drive myself." "Yup. Keys?" Josh pressed his lips together as he widened his eyes at me. 

"Hook." I pointed to the key rack and he took them before taking off. 

"What time is Harry getting here?" My mom glanced at her watch and I was going to open my mouth but a kiss was placed to my neck. 

"Now." Harry smirked at me and I smiled at him. 

"Now." I shrugged and Mr. Anderson frowned. "Mr. Anderson?" Harry nodded to the awkward teacher as he hugged my mother. "Harry." He nodded back and I widened my eyes. 

"Well, I am going to go jump into the shower. Or take a bath. Harry obviously needs one too so." I said with a giggle as Harry smirked from his drenched in sweat state of being. 

"What you guys do in your free time does not concern me and I'd prefer not to know if my daughter is having sex or not." My mom warned and I laughed running up the stairs with Harry who only chuckled. 

"Why is he here?" Harry asked as we got into my room. 

"I don't know. I don't care. He gives me the creeps." I shivered as I closed my door behind us. I began to run the water for a bath as Harry set his gym bag on my bed, taking his shoes off. 

"You taking a bath, babe?" 

"We. We are taking a bath, babe." I mocked and he rolled his eyes, stripping when I did. We sat in the warm bathtub, flirting some. The bubbles I had added made everything so much better since I was able to put some on my hands, transferring it to his head. He only laughed. 

We were sitting in my tub so I was on his lap, his hands were around my waist under the water while mine were around his neck. 

"I love you." I hummed against his lips. 

"Do you really now?" He was being playful which I only gave into his little game, playing along. "Yes." "How much?" He looked up at me as I slid him inside of me, he let out a soft moan. 

"I love you so much my body aches." I lowered myself down and he guided me up and down. After our bath we were dressed, more less, for bed which we immediately knocked out after getting comfortable. 

Harry drove us to school the next day and even stopped to buy us breakfast from McDonalds which I only got oatmeal. Statistics was boring, as always. Mr. Anderson would constantly call on me to answer questions but I wasn't in the mood since he showed up to my house unannounced. I gave him the simplest answers possible before jogging down to my normal lunch spot to see Harry already there. 

"Hey beautiful." He grinned as I walked down the flight of stairs to him. 

"Hey handsome." I wiggled my eyebrows as he caught me when I jumped into his arms. "Ready?" "As I'll ever be." We were going to practice for our anatomy presentation. 

"Okay but babe, be serious, please." I groaned for the millionth time, pressing a kiss to his lips as I began again. 

In the middle of my big monologue Mr. Anderson cleared his throat from the top of the stairs, his arms crossed.

"You are supposed to be at lunch." He directed his question towards Harry who only stared at him. "We're practicing for a presentation." Harry's voice seemed on edge as he turned his attention towards me. 

"Go ahead babe, start again." He nodded and I widened my eyes, flipping to the first notecard. 

"Mr. Styles, to the cafeteria. She may practice." "That isn't fair and with all due respect, if he leaves so am I. We're not doing anything wrong." I crossed my arms and Anderson narrowed his eyes at me. 

"Don't worry about it babe. We'll practice somewhere else." Harry grabbed our things, pecking my lips as we walked past Anderson to our free period check in. 

"Ms. Burke, we're trying to practice for our Anatomy project, is it okay we sign in now and head to practice?" I asked the teacher who nodded with a smile when she saw us together. Harry had his arm looped around my waist, he had my bad slouched over his shoulder and held onto it with two fingers. 

"Thank you." Harry smiled as I signed us both in, turning to see Anderson walking in. I ignored him as we walked up to our 3rd floor sanctuary in the lounge. 

"Okay. Start again baby." Harry said as I sighed heavily and began to read my flashcards. 

"You're not supposed to be up here. Unattended. I'll stay and monitor." Anderson said and I groaned, 3 seconds away from crying. "Just ignore him. Continue babe." Harry stood up, pressing a kiss to my forehead before sitting back down. 

"Okay. Take 5 million." I breathed heavily and clenched both of my fists as another deep breath was administered from my lungs before they unclenched. 

"The heart pumps 2000 gallons of blood each day but it does not do this unforgeable task alone. It is the workings of the cardiovascular system to allow this one, singular, muscle to do all the magic." I began and Harry nodded slowly throughout my monologue to let me know he was paying attention. 

"Alright darling, you did that in 12 minutes. If I manage to keep my time management under control we should be able to get 30 minutes easily." That was the assignment, a 30 minute presentation over a body function. 

"Your turn." I pulled him up and he cleared his throat, Anderson interjected immediately making me turn my head towards him. 

"No. Listen, you've been harrassing us all day and I'm sick and fucking tired of it. Enough. WE are not doing anything wrong. Keep it up and I have no problem practicing in the principal's office while you're explaining why exactly you felt the need to make a house call. Okay? Me and my boyfriend are doing nothing more than practicing for a presentation, as normal human beings. Enough with harassing him because if you do not so help me fucking god I will not treat you with the respect you have become accustomed to. This is due next week and I would like to make sure it is perfect. Thank you very fucking much." I snapped to Mr. Anderson who gave me a bewildered look as I turned around to see Harry laughing at me. 

"You need to calm down sweetheart, I don't pay it any mind. You shouldn't either." 

"Fuck you Harry. Present because I'm in a bad mood." I crossed my arms and laid back. "Okay so I'm guessing that is exactly what got us into this mess. 20 bucks the little pricks mad cause he walked in on us last night. His fault as for the mood, cut it out." He warned me at the last part and I rolled my eyes, playing with my eye. 

"Leslie." Harry warned, pointing the note cards at me and I tilted my head to look at him. "I'm waiting. You're not presenting." I snapped my fingers and his tongue poked out on the side of his jaw. 

"Keep it up. Keep it up. See what happens." He nodded as he narrowed his eyes at me. He presented as I timed him, his monologue coming close to time but he perfectly nailed it. 

"I think it's good." I stood up, grabbing my water bottle from my bag as Harry smacked my ass and glared at me. 

"Keep up the goddamn attitude and see if you're able to walk tomorrow." He warned me and I only glared back at him. "K." I shrugged and his eyes snapped shut as he let out a deep breath. 

"Leslie. You are playing a dangerous game right now. I don't understand why you have an attitude with me. I have no problem leaving campus right now just to show you I mean what I say." "I'm not playing any game. I'm in a bad mood. I want to go home. I want to take a nap. I want to be left alone." I was about to leave to get my backpack when Harry let out a low growl, picking me up and set me on the table. 

"No. What's with the attitude?" He wasn't going to let me leave until I told him. 

"Leslie I swear to fucking god." Harry warned as I gave him a blank stare. "I'm pissed. I was interrupted 3 times. I was having a good day. I was having a good week, it's supposed to be a happy week. I gave you things I could never get back and I wanted to be happy but I can't! I hate being interrupted. I hate that you aren't angry. I hate everything." I snapped and Harry narrowed his eyes at me. He licked his bottom lip before holding a finger to me. 

"Don't move." He warned me, retrieving his phone from the couch. 

"You're on your period. That's why you're being moody aren't you?" He sighed heavily as he came back to me and I nodded, my bottom lip trembling. 

"You done?" He asked a bit softer and I shook my head no, holding onto him tightly. 

"I love you. I hate you so much but I love you." I whimpered into his neck as I cried silently. He sighed heavily and held onto me tightly. 

"I love you too baby." He held onto me tightly as I cried into his neck softly. 

"Are you done now?" His voice was softer than before as he pulled away and looked at me. His thumbs worked quickly to wipe my tears. I nodded and hugged him again, my legs wrapping around his waist as he held onto me. 

"No more attitude?" He asked and I shook my head no. 

"I'll take you out for ice cream afterschool alright? We'll go to my place and you can spend the night with me, we'll order take out and watch your stupid horror movies." "I want a baby." I sniffled as I pulled away. Harry laughed at me. 

"We settled on Emma and Jackson, remember, baby? Give me a year. Literally this time next year you'll be planning our wedding. We'll be moving into our house. We'll have to settle into being married first but two years time from today I promise that if we do not have a child in you, we will start trying. Okay?" He asked and I nodded, pressing my lips to his.
