All of Me (Harry Styles) - Book 2

Chapter 30: "Best surprise ever."

-Harry's POV-

As soon as we hear a cabinet door slam shut I know today is not going to go as I'd planned.

We were halfway up the stairs when we heard the commotion coming from the kitchen. I had Ava thrown over my shoulder, with the intention of her being sans clothing in the next sixty seconds.

I told her to wait and let me check out what it was, but Ava being her stubborn self followed me in.

"Finn?" I question when I catch site of a pair of long legs sticking out behind the bar.

"The one and only." A slurred voice replies.

I follow Ava around the bar, finding Finn leaning against it with various liquor bottles around him.

"Finn what happened?!" Ava asks.

"Jules... We broke up." He answers, looking up at us with red bloodshot eyes.

"What? Why?" She prods him.

"The usual. She said shit, I said worse shit. All in front of her parents by the way. So she threw me out."

"That's rough bro." I say, having been there myself.

"Yeah. Not my best day for sure." He shrugs, finishing off a bottle that was sitting next to him. "What are you doing here?"

I look to Ava who frowns. Not the best news to tell a recently heartbroken person.

"Ummm. We are kinda... Well we... talked and we're together now."

"Bout bloody time." He laughs with no hint of a humorous tone, popping the lid off another bottle.

"Mate, maybe you should switch to water yeah?" I ask, picking a couple bottles off the floor.

"Not a chance MATE."

"Finn, really this isn't helping. Maybe talking would?" Ava tries to reason with him.

He scoffs and brings his knees up, dropping his head between them.

I put my hand on Ava's back, steering her out of the kitchen, "I think I'll head home. Give you guys a chance to talk."

"What? No." She shakes her head.

"Love, he needs a mate right now. Believe me, the lad sitting in there is basically me when we broke up."

"Well that makes me feel horrible." She frowns, looking towards the kitchen.

"Don't." I order, placing my hands on her hips, "That was my own bloody fault. Besides doesn't matter anymore. Now go help your friend."

She looks into my eyes, giving me a halfhearted smile. "I'm sorry."

"This isn't your fault either. Just ring me when you've put him to bed yeah?"

She nods, her face showing the exact disappointment I feel myself.

She wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me in for a kiss. Her lips are sweet as always, making me wrap my arms tightly around her waist.

"I really love you." She smiles once she's pulled away.

"And I love you." I grin, before turning her around and gently pushing her towards the kitchen. "Now go before I change my mind."

She shakes her heads as she walks back into the kitchen and I make the mistake of watching her bum as she goes. Bloody hell the woman is fit. And mine, I smile to myself.

I decide to call my mum and Gemma when I get home, giving them both an UNdetailed explanation of what happened between Ava and I. They both couldn't be more chuffed, and went on for ages about bringing her home for holiday. I of course let them suffer before telling them I had every intention of doing just that. I'd already bought the bloody plane tickets for Christ's sake. I couldn't resist as I was waiting for our radio interview to start. Now I just hope we are on the same page about how serious this relationship is.

I returned a few other calls before plopping myself down on my couch and turning on the Telly. I flipped through the channels endlessly before finally just popping in a movie to watch.

Halfway through my stomach was grumbling enough I was forced to give it attention, feeding it leftover Chinese takeout.

I checked my phone before starting a second movie, hoping Ava would ring me soon. It was already past nine and I hadn't heard anything from her. Finn must be in worse shape then I thought.

The last time I checked my phone before I dozed off it was almost 11. I tried to keep my eyes open but it was a losing battle. When your body is so used to going nonstop, it tends to shut down as soon as you try to get back into a normal routine.

I wake up with a start when I hear knocking at my front door. I drag myself off the couch, checking the time as I head towards the door. 2 am. Who the hell is knocking on my door at 2am? Probably fans again. Sadly it's happened more times than I care to remember.

I throw open the door, surprised to find Ava standing on my door step.

"I should of called shouldn't I? It's really late, I really didn't even think about it, I just wanted to see you. I'm sorry I just.."

I can't help but smile at the beautiful woman rambling off apologies. I cut her off by grabbing her hips and yanking her towards me, quieting her lips with a rough kiss.

"Best surprise ever." I grin, pulling her into my house and shutting the door behind us.

I don't waste any time in pushing her up against the wall and attaching my lips to her neck. She moans as my hands wander her body. Her moans are the sexiest thing I've ever heard.

When her hands fist my hair, I have no choice but to pick her up, carrying her towards my couch with her legs wrapped firmly around my waist.

Today may have not went as planned, but I know damn well that tonight is going to.
