Chapter 22

I woke up to see Harry looking down at me. "You need to eat." "Don't make me. Please." I begged and held him tighter. "Baby. You need to. Please." "Harry." I begged and broke into tears again. He sat up and pulled me to his lap. His back was pressed to my headboard and my back was pressed to his knees. 

"Look at me." He tilted my chin to look up at him and my bottom lip quivered. "What happened?" He asked and I shook my head, hugging him and buried my head into his neck. 

"When I was 16 I was expecting a baby with Michael." I began and held back tears. "Nick was just now starting to build his empire and was pissing off so many people. Baby, he was barking up the wrong trees and making enemies like there's no tomorrow. I was kidnapped for leverage against him because everyone found out about Nick's beloved little sister. They induced my labor and slit my baby's throat infront of me. 2 seconds in the world and the one thing a mother was supposed to do I couldn't. I couldn't protect him." I sobbed and his grip tightened on me. 

"For 4 weeks I was left in a bathtub with his blood in it and corpse next to me. The only time I was able to get out was when they raped me. It's fucked up but I preferred to be raped over sitting in the blood and I felt so nasty to think it and I'm just-" I couldn't even finish before bursting into tears and gripped him harder. 

"Who did this to you?" Harry pulled back and I looked into his glassy eyes. He was crying with me. "I killed them already. After that I became the reaper. I just have this awful feeling every year. This is just not my time of year and I'm sorry for blowing up on you I just couldn't help it." He wiped my tears with his thumb and I put my hands on his as he did so. 

"That's not important right now. You are. Do you hear me? I promise I won't ever hurt you again. I'm ready to make if official if you are. I won't hurt you, I swear it on my life. Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked me, voice a whisper as he rested his head on mine and I felt my heartbeat faster. 

"Yes." I nodded and he broke into a grin, taking me with him. He pressed a kiss to my lips and gripped my waist a little tighter. "Finally." He whispered with a sigh and I looked at him funny. "What?" "You're mine." "I was yours for the longest." 

He pinned me to the bed, wrists above my head and his lips inches from mine.

"I'm the thing that comes to haunt you in the dark darling, you should run. Run as fast and as far as that pretty little heart can take you." He growled, lips inches from mine as he tightened his grip on my wrist. I gave him a twisted smile and let my eyes flicker down to his lips. 

"I've never been scared of the dark."

He smirked and pressed a kiss to my lips and flipped me ontop of him. "I love you." He whispered and my heart stopped. "What?" "I love you. I mean it. I've never said that to a woman before, I've never even had a girlfriend before but I'm sure when I say I love you." He said and I almost bursted into tears as I pecked his lips. 

"I love you too." He grinned at me and held my thighs as he stared up at me. 

"Let's go eat. Please." He begged and I sighed. "Please, baby. For me?" He asked and I bit my lip and nodded. 

I heard my phone ring from the bed and I smiled and listened to the ringtone, singing along softly to it. 

"You gotta move it slowly, Take and eat my body like it's holy. I've been waiting for you for the whole week, I've been praying for you, you're my Sunday candy."  I sung and Harry smiled up at me. 

"You can sing?" "No, not really." I said looking at the screen and threw it back down on the bed. It was just Mel calling me. "You sing beautifully. Sing more." He tapped my butt and I blushed. 

"I can't though. I don't sing." "You just did and you sounded amazing." "Baby please." I laughed as he tickled my sides. "Sing for me." "No." I giggled and squirmed but he kept me in place. "Please." "Sing for me and I'll stop." "Fine!" I said and his hands went down to my thighs and looked up at me. 

""Give me a break, give me a break, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar." I sung the Chance the Rapper jingle and Harry laughed. "Cheater." "Am not!" I said and he tickled me, dropping me next to him making me try to get him to stop through giggles. 

"Babe!" I begged and he grinned, pressing a kiss to my lips. "Yes?" "Stop please." He stopped and I grabbed his hands. "Please?" He asked and I nodded, sticking my bottom lip out. "Only because you're cute." He grinned and I smacked his chest. 

"That's it." He tickled me again and I squealed, pressing a kiss to his jaw. "Stop!" "Fine. Let's go eat." He winked and pulled me to the bathroom to brush our teeth. Afterwards he intertwined his hand in mine and walked downstairs with me and into the kitchen to see pizza boxes. I grabbed a random slice and Harry followed in suit, standing infront of me as I leaned on the counter. 

"Happy?" I asked and Harry nodded. "Extremely." "Meanie." "Liar." "Asshole." "What?" He asked, one hand on my waist and shoved what was left of his pizza in his mouth. "What did you call me?" He asked and I giggled. 

"Babe, wait. Let my finish eating." I said and he shook his head. "What did you call me?" He grabbed my face as I swallowed what was left of my pizza and laughed as he looked at me with a smirk. 

"What did you call me baby?" He asked, one hand on my face and I kissed his hand. "Asshole." "Really?" He asked and grabbed my face and pressed a kiss to it. "Yes but you're my asshole." "I'm not mean." "I know, I love you." "I love you too." He smiled and pressed his lips on mine and his thumb traced patterns into my cheek. 

"Stop." I warned as his hand on my waist tickled me. "Stop what?" He asked innocently. "Babe!" I warned as both hands dropped to my stomach and tickled me. "Stop please." I begged through giggles and he kissed my neck. "I'm an asshole remember?" He asked and I smacked his chest and he laughed, pulling me into a hug. 

"Harry." Zayn came in, stopping when he saw my brothers making Harry frown. "What?" "We need you at the club tonight." "No, I'm with my girlfriend." "Harry, go. It's okay." "No, fuck them. I've already told you plenty of fucking times that if I'm with her, don't fuck with me." He warned Zayn who sighed. 

"Who's going to take care of Hector then? I'll kill him if you want." Zayn said and I looked up at Harry who sighed. "Nick." I cocked my head and he came over to us. 

"What?" "Go to Harry's club and kill Hector. No messy shit. Call Octavio when you're done." "Baby!" Harry said and I looked up at him. "If you're not going to do it there's no point in arguing." He closed his eyes and sigh. 

"Jesus woman you will be the death of me. Your sister's a fucking handful." He told Nick who chuckled. "I know." "I'll do it." Harry sighed and I looked up at him. "I want to go too." "No. I don't want to put you in danger." "Harry. I'm a professional hit woman. What kind of danger could you put me in that I already haven't put myself in?" "Baby. Please just listen this one time." He begged and I gave him a puppy dog look.

"No." He mouthed and I groaned. "Fine. Do as you please." "Don't get your attitude either." He warned and I glared up at him. "I can get whatever I want." "Not with me." "Yes with you." He smacked my ass and looked at me. 

"Want to repeat what happened the other time?" He was referring to the plane where he made me sore for a few days. "Yes." I said proudly and he laughed. "Nice try. Give me an hour alright? Nick, make sure she stays mate please. I can't have her getting hurt." Harry placed a kiss on my head and Nick nodded. 

"Wait no, I want to go!" I begged as Nick held me back. "I'll be back baby." Harry said and took off with Zayn, leaving me in sadness. I sat on the couch next to Nick who sighed. "You like him that much?" Nick asked and I nodded sadly. 

"I miss him." "Grace, he left like twenty minutes ago." "I still miss him." "Jesus." Josh mumbled and I stared at the ceiling until Harry walked in. 

"See. An hour." He said coming over to me, picking me up and I grinned happily. I hugged him tightly as he sat on the other couch and laid me on his lap. "Brat." "Yours truly." I said and he laughed, tracing patterns into my stomach under my shirt. 

"We're not going to hurt you." Derek said to the boys who stood in the doorway. "They won't. I promise." I assured them and they sat on the couches. Harry continued to trace patterns into my skin as he talked to me softly. 

"Look at my tummy, I drew something on it yesterday." I said lifting my shirt to expose the smiley face I drew on my belly button. Harry bursted into laughter and kissed my forehead. 

"You're so weird." Nick commented and I furrowed my eyebrows. "Am not." "Yeah you are." Josh said and I flipped them off. "She's cute." Harry corrected and I smiled happily, hugging his arm.

"Look, if I try hard enough I can make him wink." I said moving my belly and Harry chuckled. "Where the hell did you even draw it?" Derek asked and I smirked. "Your house." "My house?" "Yes. I drew it with markers from Caleb." "You're a child." Derek said and I smiled. "I'm only 16." Harry was the only one who got my fake I.D. joke. 

"You're talking about the store?" Niall asked through laughter. "Yes! I'm still mad!" I declared and Harry rolled his eyes, laying down with me pressed to his chest. "Why?" Louis asked and I huffed. 

"Those bitches said I was 16! I'm 21 years old. I turn 22 in 2 weeks." "You look young, take it as a compliment." Harry said and I looked at him. "Then the cops will take you away from me because they'll call rape." I hugged him tightly making him laugh. "Yeah okay. I've been doing this for 6 years. I kill people and sell drugs but the thing I'll go to jail for is for my girlfriend looking young. Okay baby, makes total sense." He rolled his eyes and I smiled up at him. "It does." "What country?" "This one." 

"I want to go to the Bora Bora." I said and he looked at me. "I'll take you if you're serious." "I am serious but I don't know when." "Let's go this weekend." He shrugged and I looked at him. "Are you serious?" "Why wouldn't I be?" He asked and I hugged him. 

"I don't know. I assumed you were joking." "When have I ever joked about something you want? Tell me please." "When I wanted to drive and you said sure, then took the keys from me." "That's different." "How?" "You know how I feel about my girl driving." "You know how I feel about standing in a 4 hour line to get a license I don't get to use with you." 

"Don't be sassy." He smacked my bum and I giggled. "But really. I'll take you this weekend if you want." He said looking into my eyes and I nodded. "Okay!" "Okay." He nodded and turned his attention to my hand that was on his chest. 

"Do you guys want to go?" He asked my brothers who looked at him. "What?" Danny asked and Harry looked at them. "Do you want to go with us this weekend? We can do like a family vacation thing for you guys. Your parents, sisters, kids, wife. I know the boys are bringing their girlfriends so." Harry offered Nick who looked at Josh. 

"Sure, why not?" He said and I grinned. "Okay! I want to share a room with Marcia." "You're not sleeping with my wife." Nick warned and I looked at him. "But she's cute." "And? So are you and you don't see her sleeping with you." "She can if she wants." "She doesn't." "Mean!" I said and Nick laughed. 

"Call mom and ask." He warned and I groaned dialing my mom. 

"Hello?" "Mom! I have a question for you." "Which is?" "This weekend do you want to go to Bora Bora with me and Harry?" "Are your brothers going?" "Yeah." "Even after you told them you're dating their enemy?" "Yeah. Watch this. Nick!" I said and he sighed. 

"We're sitting with them mom." He called out and my mom sighed. "Thank god. I don't know how long I could hide the fact I think Harry is perfect for you. Sure, we'd love to go." "It's a family thing." Harry said and my mom laughed. 

"Hi Harry." "Hi Ms. Ibarra." "Alice." My mom corrected and Harry chuckled. "Hi Alice." "We'll be there, when do we leave?" "Thursday night. We can spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday there." Harry said and my mom talked to my dad for a second. 

"Okay. We're in. Are Mari and Lucy going?" "We're going to call them right now." I said and we hung up and called my sisters who decided to come over for us to tell them.

"Oh my god! Your boyfriend is hot!" Maricela said and hugged Harry who only chuckled. "Wow!" Lucy said and poked him. "He's cute. And British." She said and I pulled Harry to lay back down with me.

"Why are we here?" Martin and Manny asked and I shrugged. 

"We want to know if you want to go to Bora Bora with us on Thursday for the weekend." I said holding Harry's hand as we laid on the couch. "This week?" Manny asked and I nodded. 

"Why not?" Martin said and I smiled. "Great." 

"How did you guys come up with this?" Lucy asked and Josh chuckled, messing with his eye. 

"Grace was being a brat and told her boyfriend she wanted to go so he's taking her." "I was not being a brat. I just said I wanted to go." "Harry spoils you." He yawned and I nodded. "I know." "You're a brat." "Am not! Babe!" I said pointing to Josh as I looked at Harry but Harry laughed.

"That's between you guys."
