Dani in California (11)
woke up to Harry’s tussled curls popping out of the sheets. I hopped up, put on a tshirt, and went to go make some coffee. I hear a door shut and look up to see Rachael easing out her room.
“What’s with you sneaking out of your room?” I chuckled.
“Errrr, ummm, well, Niall’s in there.” She said quickly.
“Wait, WHAT?”
“We didn’t have sex, Dani! We just stayed up talking and we were cuddling when I woke up this morning. He wanted to tag a long with Harry.” She eyed me and I blushed because she caught me. I handed her a cup of coffee and we went to sit on the back porch and ate strawberries enjoying the sun.
We stayed out there for an hour until I realized I had to go grocery shopping. It was Thanksgiving and I realized I actually had to cook. Rachael and I went into the house to find Harry and Niall attempting to make us breakfast. Somehow they managed to burn toast, set bacon on fire and char pancakes. We laughed and opted for some cereal and more strawberries. Niall and Harry left to get changed and ready for the day while me and Rachael went to the store to get our Thanksgiving feast ready.

Harry’s POV:
Tonight is the night. The night when I tell Dani I love her. I darted back to my hotel room to get ready when I get a phone call.
“Hello?” I ask through the speaker.
“Hey mate. Just making sure you are clear on the plan for Sunday.” Liam said. Sunday. The day I was dreading the most. The day I had to fly back to London. With or without Dani.
“Besides forcing me to go back to all of this pressure before I’m ready for all of this publicity and interviews and concerts? I didn’t know there was anything else planned except for leaving behind everything that really means anything to me anymore.” I said bitterly. How could he expect me to go after this week that has changed me so much?
“Listen, Harry. This is not my fault just because I am the only one strong enough to tell you bad news. I’m sorry but management rules so just do the right thing but make sure you are at the airport on Sunday.” He hung up the phone.
I showered the conversation with Liam away and got ready. Nothing could ruin this moment. Except my nerves which were making my hands shake.
She makes me so nervous. Her laugh, her smile, her eyes, her heart. Everything makes me want to run away with her but a bigger power is telling me I can’t. Something tells me she wouldn’t let that happen; she’s too smart to run away from the security of a college education and her home for some guy she just met. She is glorious.
I called up Niall who came over while the other boys kept getting ready for dinner later.
“How do I look?” I asked. I was so nervous.
“I’m not going to answer that. But, I think I’m going to kiss Rachael tonight. It just seems fitting.” Niall responded.
“I’m telling Dani I love her” I blurted. I was so nervous.
“Holy shit, you win. How are you going to do it?”
“I don’t know, but I have to tell her before we leave.” I was so nervous.
“You’ll be fine, mate. Any girl would be lucky to be with you and that girl just happens to be Dani. Don’t worry, everything will be perfect.” He reassured me.
I was still nervous.
