Heartbeat

Banana Muffin; Lies

Song of the chapter-


If you are not the one by Daniel Bedingfield (this song makes me emotional, because its so adorable)


Alex-


I knew Harry wasn't with me when I woke up in the morning. I knew this because I didn't feel the weight of his arm draped over me, and my body was cold even though I was under the covers.

I peek an eye open as I lie on my stomach, seeing the empty side of the bed beside me. I lift myself up on my elbows, the sheet slipping down my bare back as I grasp the piece of paper on the pillow beside my head.

I ran to get breakfast, don't get out of bed okay? And.....don't get dressed

Love Harry


I smile as I admire his handwriting, which I can say is decent for a boy. I set the note back where I'd found it and bury my face back into my pillow, inhaling the scent of my laundry detergent. I know I have bedhead and that maybe I could get up and fix myself before he gets back, but I honestly didn't care and didn't want to in that moment. So I stayed in the same place as when I'd woken up, keeping my eyes closed, straining my ears to try and hear the slight sound of the beginning of rainpour against my window. When I hear my bedroom door get pushed open I keep my eyes closed, because of course I know who it is.

And when I feel the mattress sink in beneath his weight, and his lips pressing to my forehead, that's when I let my eyes open to look up to him. He holds a grin on his face, his hair and his clothes a little damp from the trickle of rain outside.

"I got us breakfast from the coffee shop down the street." He tells me.

I smile to him, and glance down to grab the fabric of the sheet that is resting upon my lower back. I pull it up over my chest as I turn around to lay on my back, knowing that my frizzy hair is sprawled against my pillow as I look up to him.

"You seem a little cold."

I could see the mischief in his eyes the instant he said the words, giggling as he crawls across the bed to place his arms on either side of my head, knees being placed on either side of my closed legs as he presses his lips to mine. I laugh loudly as he playfully growls against the skin of my neck, pushing at his chest so he will let me sit up.

"Okay, okay." He chuckles.
He grabs the paper bag at the end of the bed with our breakfast in it as I lean against my headboard, holding the sheet to cover my chest as he situates himself beside me.

"I ran into Lou out in the hallway this morning, and he asked me about the camping trip we've been trying to plan." Harry speak as he opens up the bag, handing me a banana muffin and pulling out one for himself.

I quirk up an eyebrow so he will continue talking.

"And well, he wants to go. Today."

I had already thought about this once before, thinking of how I know I wouldn't be able to go on a long car drive.

"And I'm pretty sure I knew you wouldn't want to go." He explains, the sympathy in his voice making me feel embarrassed.

"And do I told them that they should just go." He tells me.

I shake my head instantly, placing my banana muffin on his long legs which trail down the length of my bed as I glance down to the floor where I knew I'd last seen my whiteboard. I haven't used it much lately. When I see it beside my bed I hold the blanket tight to my chest as I lean off the bed to grab it, knowing Harry can see my whole back as I do so but not really caring.

When I retrieve it I bring it up to me, ignoring Harrys quiet chuckles as my eyes search for the marker which is usually clamped to board. And when it's not there I roll my eyes and toss the whiteboard aside.

"You're not staying." I tell him, wanting to laugh at the way his eyes widened at my voice.

And even though I'm pretty sure I'm starting a little bicker between us there's a smile on his face anyways.

"And why's that?" He challenges, the goofy grin still on his lips.

I know he's expecting me to talk again, and I try and gain the courage to do so. But then he speaks for himself.

"I don't want to leave you here all alone." He admits, his voice holding a serious tone now.

I look down at my hands, knowing that what happened last night is what is causing him to say this. Of course I don't want to be alone, he seems to be the only person who can calm me down and talk some sense into me when I'm in that kind of state. But I don't want to feel like he's babysitting me, he needs to go and hang out with his friends. Maybe he needs to get away from all my problems right now, even if he doesn't realize that himself.

"If I go I'll just be worried, Alex." He speaks again.

I shake my head, because I know he will end up having some sort of fun while camping. He lets out a sigh.

"Are you going to be upset with me if I don't go?" He asks me.

I nod my head and give him a mischievous smile when I glance up to him. It seems like he couldn't help but let one take over his face too.

"But why would I want to leave you?" He asks me with a smile, his torso leaning up off the headboard to press his lips to my bare shoulder. I giggle and lean away from his affection.

"You're seriously going to make me leave you here by yourself?"

I nod my head again, and then think of something.

"El." I tell him, the happy smile that overtakes his features making me roll me eyes in amusement, because it was just a simple word. It's like he still hasn't gotten used to my voice.

"Eleanor's not going either?" He asks me.

I shake my head no, even though I have no idea if she is or not. I just want him to agree with going, so he can't change his mind when he finds out she is probably tagging along with them. He presses his lips together as if he's thinking everything over, and I hope he agrees. Because I want him to go and have fun without my problems putting a damper on things.

"So she will be here with you?" He asks me.

I nod my head in confirmation even though I don't know if it's true.

"Okay, fine." He grumbles.

"But you know, I'm going to miss you like crazy." He tells me, making me smile. He picks up my banana muffin off his leg and hands it back to me.

As I raise it up to my lips to take a bite, I squeal as he reaches up and nudges my hand so it squishes against my face, the muffin falling from my hands as he topples me onto my back. I laugh aloud as he leans over me to kiss my lips, amusement taking over as I wonder what's up with him this morning.

"You taste like bananas." He chuckles against my lips.

I giggle, and ignore the feeling of muffin crumbs against my bed sheets as I feel blindly for the muffin, picking it up and detaching myself from his lips to get revenge, crumbling my muffin against his pink tinted lips, his eyes closing as he lets out an exaggerated sigh.

"You know what, now that there's crumbs all over this sheet it's going to have to come off." He speaks over my giggles, the giggles becoming worse and louder as he tries to grasp the sheet from my hands that I still hold over my naked body.

He sits on my stomach as he continues to try and get the sheet from me, plump lips splaying kisses all round my face to try and distract me from the battle between our hands. I force myself to stop laughing to let a pout occur on my lips, his smile amused as he looks at me.

"Don't try that with me." He says, both our hands still rested upon my chest, our fingers grasping the sheet.

I decide to make it even more pitiful, batting my eyelashes up at him to add to the sad puppy dog effect.

I felt achieved as he leans down to kiss me, his lips slow against mine, making my heart beat fast.

"You're cute Alex, but not enough to stop me from winning."

Before I know whats happening, the sheet is torn from my grasp and Harry is laughing loudly and amused as he hops off of me, and off the bed with it.

"Harry!" I shout along with my laughs.




Harry-



"Alex here destroyed her muffin this morning and then ate mine." I exaggerate as I spoon another mouthful of cereal into my mouth.

Alex shakes her head in denial across the kitchen in my apartment as the boys laugh.

"I'm all packed!" Louis announces as he emerges from his room.

Niall and I grunt in unison, and I'm guessing that means he still has to pack too.

"You guys are slackers, Liam and I packed this morning." Zayn tells us.

"I was.....busy this morning." I mumble as I chew on my cereal, giving Alex a cheeky wink from my seat at the table. Her cheeks heat, and I smile at that.

"You don't need to tell us about your sex life Styles." Niall informs me.

I roll my eyes, "Oh, but Louis and Zayn here can talk about it all they want, and I bet if you and Brianna-" Niall cuts me off with a smack to my head, his cheeks tinted pink.

"Shut your trap." He tells me with a chuckle.

"Well just so you guys know we did not have sex this morning." I chuckle as I see Alex's mortified expression across from me.

"Too bad because me and Elea-" Louis starts to say.

"You guys! Spare the poor girl!" Liam exclaims with a chuckle, winding his arm around Alex's shoulders, her cheeks flushed with bright pink.

"It was Harry who started it." Niall retaliates.

"Go pack blondie." I mumble with a mouthful of coco puffs, reaching to smack him in the shoulder as he playfully stomps passed me.

When I look back to Alex, Liam is still talking to her, until his phone rings and his face lights up in excitement.

"OOooooo, is it the girl from the club?" Louis teases him.

He ignores him as he presses the answer button and walks from the room. Alex glances over to me and I smile while I chew, patting my leg to tell her to come over and sit with me. Right when she sits on my lap and I wind an arm around her waist the front door swings open and Eleanor comes in with two luggages, an unhappy pout to her lips as she lets them fall to the floor.

"Carrying these up stairs is not fun!" She tells me as she stomps over to the kitchen.

"Wait, you're going with us?" I wonder aloud, feeling Alex stiffen in my arms.

"Yeah, why?" She breaths, out of breath.

"Because Alex said you were staying with her." I accuse, peering around Alex's body to try and glance at her face.

"Alex is staying?! Thank god!" Eleanor speaks.

"I'll stay with her then, because I so do not want to go. Especially with just you guys." She mumbles.

When El turns around to retrieve something from the fridge I lean up to Alex's ear.

"You lied to me." I murmur.

I go stiff in my seat as she turns herself around on my lap, her chest pressing softly against mine as she leans in to kiss me for I'm guessing forgiveness. I knew we had company with us, but my hands found their way to her hips anyways. I hear their murmurs of talking to one another and I'm guessing they haven't quite seen us yet. My heart just about stops beating in my chest as she pulls away from the kiss, her teeth pulling upon my bottom lip. My breathing is hard and erratic at her brave behavior, our foreheads pressed together.

"Damn you guys! Can you keep away from each other for five minutes? We leave in an hour!" Liam shouts, meaning he is off the phone.

I ignore all of them, because with the way her lips curled up in a sexy way, and by the way her arm wound around my neck, I knew she was thinking something that I'm desperate to hear.

"You going to say goodbye to me?"

My heart is beating at an unhealthy speed as her breath fans across my lips, and I'm pretty sure she is able to feel the hardening pressure in my boxers. I've never heard her talk dirty to me, and it turns me on.

"Of course." I tell her, frozen in my seat as she slides off my lap and takes my hand.

I glance around us and see El and Louis conversing in the kitchen across from us, and the other boys must have left to their rooms.

Alex's lip is taken between her teeth as she starts to walk towards the door of the apartment. She looks over her shoulder to me as I pull her in a different direction, to my room. I lead her to walk in front of me, my hands squeezing at her hips as I lean down to her ear.

"I want you in my bed."

I could basically feel the rise of temperature to her skin against my hands as I open my door.

"You guys better be going in there to pack!" I hear Louis shout, the door slamming closed before his sentence was even finished.

"We're definitely not packing." I chuckle, eyes trailing over her body as she lays upon my bed. The sight of it makes my head go crazy with thoughts that I know would make her blush if I spoke them aloud to her.

The idea of it appealed to me though, to see how she would respond. Because she seems to be in a brave mood. The mattress squeaks as I hover my body above hers.

"I want to be inside of you so bad." I tell her, the way her lips parted from beneath me making me wonder what ran through her mind at those words. But her hands grip at my back.

"I'm going to make you feel so good, but you've got to be quiet okay?" I speak to her, hovering my lips closely above hers.

She nods her head, shaky, impatient breaths tumbling passed her lips.
