The Chase (h.s. au)

Chapter 11

Harry.

There is a small hand that sets on my waist, my eyes closed as I move my lips with Lauren's. She has enabled herself to open up to me, her fingers so warm against my skin. I don't want to let her go; never would I let her go. She's so wonderful and I don't think I've ever felt this way about anyone.

"Lauren," I whisper, kissing down her neck.

"Can I?" I ask, her head nodding. Moving my hands beneath her, I unclip her bra and kiss her incredibly long as I retract the article of clothing. The one piece of clothing seems to be a huge barrier that I've just knocked down. I'm not rushing her and both of us are nervous as hell. But I wouldn't want this with anyone else.

"Harry," she whispers, my hands taken in hers. My eyes look at her, her beauty effortless. These scars, the reminders of what she's been through, add onto her beauty.

"Beautiful. God, you're so beautiful," I whisper, her lips curving. After setting a kiss to each of her breasts, I kiss her and she sets my hands on her chest. The allowance to feel her lets me notice the scars she has on her breasts, her skin lightly indented but nothing horrible. Lauren's so strong and has gotten through so much.

All time seems to be forgotten and my torn emotions regarding my mum are gone. Lauren takes it all away.

..................

The lights are blinding, my fingers reaching across the bed. Instead of meeting the much desired body, I feel a piece of paper. Rubbing my face, I push myself up and grab the paper.

Harry-

I spent the night with you, in case you are wondering. The only reason you were met with this sheet of paper rather than me is because my father called me this morning regarding my return. Trust me, it took me everything to leave your warm arms and your cute, pouty sleeping face, but I will see you soon. I know where you work. ;)

So last night...

Let's just say that was an adventure that still leaves me blushing and insanely giddy. I can't wait to see you soon. You've been warned. :)

-Lauren xoxo

I smile and fall back onto my pillows, my heart beating wildly. Last night...meant the world to me. Every touch, every kiss, every smile; last night was full of firsts. We didn't take our underwear off, except her bra. She allowed me to touch her in gentle ways to show that I don't want to hurt her. I allowed her to feel me. My boxers were tight last night and I allowed her to feel me through the barrier. It felt so good and I can't tell myself enough how good it was to wait.

But what really had me happy last night was after everything. I was a mess, sweaty and exhausted, and she was as well. But Lauren had a certain...glow to her. I looked like a monkey; guaranteed.

It was in watching her that I blurted out a question I surely thought she'd turn down. Her answer took me aback when she agreed.

"Will you take a bath with me?" I had asked, and she smiled as she nodded. Last night, the two of us were completely bare together and the sight of her was so mind-blowing. She blew all expectations and she is so beautiful; defying all my thoughts. Lauren made me feel something last night and still have yet to figure that out.

I get out of bed and dress myself, putting my auto shop shirt on and my jeans. After putting my boots on, I walk downstairs and drive to work. The shop isn't open yet and I start fixing up a car I started a few days ago.

The shop stays closed for the day and my father calls to tell me he'll be home tomorrow. He's always like this around the anniversary so I understand what he's going through. We've been through a lot since she passed away.

As I'm working under the car, my fingers change the oil in the car and I freeze when to hands are felt on my ankles. They pull me out and brown curls fall around my face, Lauren crawling on top of me.

"Hi," she smiles, my lips curving.

"Hey."

She grabs my hands as I sit up, her delicate fingers wiping the grease off my digits.

"How are you?" I ask, her eyes meeting mine.

"Wonderful. How are you?" she smiles, her lips pressing to my cheek.

"I'm fantastic."

Her fingers move to my cheeks and I sit up, leaning against the car as my hands grab hold of her waist.

"I'm sorry about this morning," she says, brushing my hair back with her fingers.

"Don't apologize. I understand. At least you left the note," I smile, her lips puffy as they curve.

"He was worried I had lied to him. Luckily I already had the book I was supposedly getting. Last night was fun," she says, her nose brushing mine. A soft kiss is pressed to my lips and I bring her closer.

"What are you doing tonight?" I ask, her lips pressed to mine still.

"Something that hopefully involves you," she smiles, my lips still kissing hers as we talk.

She tilts her head and kisses me deeper, my eyes closing as my feelings take over.

"My parents left this morning. Out of town until tomorrow night," she whisper, her fingers twisting some of my curls at the base of my neck.

Her words leave me breathless. Tonight....we could do something tonight. Something neither of us have ever done before.

"What would you like to do?" I ask, her eyes moving to look into my eyes.

She keeps her eyes on me and I keep her close to me, aiding in her thoughts.

"I-I want it to be you," she whispers, affirming my thoughts.

"Tonight?" I ask, grabbing her hand. She nods and I set her hand on my chest, brushing her hair away from her face.

"B-But I understand if you don't want to," she rushes, my head shaking.

"No, no. Lauren, I-I want to. With you," I say, her eyes locking with mine. Leaning in, I press my lips to hers and she wraps her arms around my neck. After a few more kisses, I'm apprehensive to let her go but she does. I can't seem to wrap my mind around this but here we are, ready as ever.

Arriving home, I shower and grab my wallet. I run down to the supermarket and buy protection, not exactly knowing what I'm looking at. I buy the best one I see and make my way home, trying to prepare myself. My mind is jostled and I try to relax, my hands pushing my sleeves up and down my arm. Will this hurt? It might hurt her?

Oh God, I don't want to hurt Lauren. I can't hurt Lauren. She wants me to do this with her and I want this, fuck I want this, with her. I will be there for her no matter what and will attempt to make this the best night. This is all about her.

Driving to her house is the longest drive I've ever taken in my life, my hands parking the car in her driveway. Once I leave, I run my fingers through my hair and walk to the front door, pushing it open. Walking up the stairs, I glance up to see her room lit up. I take a deep breath and walk down the hall, my hand pushing the door to her room open.

"Lauren?" I ask, her form walking out of the bathroom. Her body is adorning a soft white dress, her collarbones exposed and her form is beautiful. Her feet walk towards me and I grab her hands, bringing the backs to my lips.

"Are you sure?" I ask, pushing all my needs behind hers. She's my first priority and right now, I can't think of anything but her.

"Yes," she breathes, the dimly lit room causing her eyes to pop. Her every feature is prominent.

I don't think I'd be able to do this without her.
