Irresistible Touch (A Harry Styles Fanfiction) - 18: Tea Towels and Seduction. - Page 9 (2024)
I look at his profile for a moment before resting my head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry. I feel horrible."
"Don't, love," he cups my cheek, turning my head to face his. "I was a coward and asked Jeff to tell you instead of just telling you how nervous I am about the whole thing." He spits out a chuckle. "After all these years, I still get nervous in crowds."
Well, that's a mild term.
"I wouldn't call them crowds, Harry. I'm sorry for being so awkward, I just–"
"I know," he cuts me off before pressing a kiss on my lips. "We'll be on our way home this time tomorrow and have a bit of privacy, yeah? We just need our pups and our bed and then we'll have time to talk and cuddle and all that good stuff."
We won't. I can tell by the look in his eye that he only half believes what he's saying. We only have hours from when we touch down before we have a special family dinner at the Corden's and the next day we are at his studio filming his show.
A smile so bright sweeps across his face. "I love when you call me that. Sounds so much better than when Jeff does."
I roll my eyes playfully at him, the tears retreating a little bit with every second we sit here together. "Are you sure? You two looked pretty loved up all day today."
"He and I were not loved up."
"All I know is that when you were in distress, you cried out for Jeffrey and while it was very adorable, it was a tiny bit pathetic."
"You weren't jealous?"
I shake my head, "I think I prefer Jeff handling that side of you," I chuckle, fluffing my fingers through his hair. "He and I might end up making a great team where you're concerned."
I stand up and brush myself off before holding my hand out to pull him to his feet.
"And what's that's supposed to mean?"
"Nothing bad, but no matter how much I love you, Harry, you are a bit high maintenance." His jaw drops. "That's not a bad thing. It's a typical rockstar thing."
"I don't know how much I like my girlfriend and manager thinking the same about me," he crosses his arm over his chest as he uses his over to pull at his bottom lip.
"He might have called me high maintenance when I asked him to tell you about tomorrow's plans."
I scoff, trying not to let the chuckle free in his fragile state.
This time has been difficult for both of us but I can tell, after his revelation, that there are depths to his worry and his care that I might not ever touch.
He cares too deeply, with his entire soul, that it seems to consume him and I need to be as patient and as understanding as I can with him on the subject.
"Come on now," I force my arm around his and start toward the back door. "What would a rockstar be without his loyal entourage to look after him?"
"Shouldn't I be looking after you?"
"You do and don't for a minute think you don't. But for tonight I think it's best if I get you to bed. As you said, H. We'll be on our way back to LA this time tomorrow. We'll have a bit more time then."
Oh gosh, will we?

A/N: Please don't hate me... I know these two seem to be going through a lot but it's the natural progression for these two and I promise by the end of the next we'll have caught up to the prologue.
Do you think things will get better or worse between them?
On to other news! My perfume arrived today (yes I ordered it online because... 1: I've never bought anything Gucci FROM Gucci so this was my chance. 2: It's been too humid to go outside unless absolutely necessary and I'll be damned if I'm a sweaty mess walking into Gucci 5th ave on the off chance Harry is there (I'm not totally crazy,I promise,I know he won't be there but a girl can hope, I just really hate the humidity) and 3: I got complimentary gift wrapping for myself because after this summer I think we all need a little self-love and care. I'm so excited! Occasional luxuries like these make all the difference you know?
I really like the smell. Heavy on the jasmine at first until it morphs into a very floral smell. It's sweet but not overpowering and it's mature, definitely universal. Well done Gucci.
Also, I know this was a few weeks ago but I love when we get a glimpse of Harry diving one of his many classic cars. His hard work and our money paid for them, stans 😂😂. I don't know why I found that so satisfying but there you go.
I've also come to the conclusion that despite popular opinion, his favorite color is yellow. He's got the yellow cars and the yellow shirts and the yellow loafers (I still love them). He's a man who loves yellow.
Finally, thank you all for reading this chapter and sticking with Mia, Harry, and I. I'm always working on Infamous but I keep getting inspired to drive the story on. It'll happen. Infamous will be updated in time.
