Part 24

"W-what's wrong?" I stuttered.
"Nothing to worry about. We're just gonna do a surprise visit."
"You're coming to London?"
"Yes. Tomorrow afternoon, I suppose."
"Oh, okay. I thought something bad had happened." I said, breathing out.
"No, no. Just don't tell Harry, please." "Yeah, I got it. The surprise is for him." I laughed.
"Exactly. And I wanted to surprise you too but we need an accomplice. I'm looking forward to spending some more time with you."
"Me too. Listen, I have to go but I'll send you a message later."
"Oh don't worry. I'll contact you when we arrive."
"Okay. Take care."
"Bye, love."
I hung up and turned around to find Harry sitting up on the bed, staring at me.
"Hey there." I called out.
"Who were you talking to?"
"Brad."
"Aw, lover boy misses his girl." He smiled.
"Yeah, I guess." "When are you seeing him again?"
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe in a few days."
We stayed silent and I walked over to the kitchen.
"You love him?"
"I never said that."
"He told you something and you said you did too."
"You were listening to our conversation?"
"No, I just woke up to that part. Honestly."
"He said he wanted to spend more time with me. That's it."
"So you don't love him?"
"I don't know? It's too soon to know. I can't meet someone and tell them that I'm in love with them after two minutes. Unless I really feel that way."
"So right now you don't love him."
"It's not easy for me to say I love someone."
"I must have done something right. You told me you loved me."
And I still do.
I saw his smirk as I walked back into the room with a glass of water.
"What are you smirking about?" I asked straightforwardly.
"Harry 1 Brad 0."
"What is that supposed to mean."
"You loved me and I'm not sure if Brad will be as lucky as I was to hear those three words escape your lips."
"Maybe. Give it time. I've only been with him for like a day."
"You told me you loved me after our first kiss." He smiled.
"Well at that time, I had a huge crush on you. And I was finally yours. Imagine how I was feeling."
"Yeah. We were young but it was so genuine." He spoke.
I smiled remembering our past relationship.
"What are you wearing tonight?" He asked suddenly.
"Um, I have no idea." I laughed.
"Wanna do what we did the first night? You know, I choose your outfit, you choose mine."
"Oh yeah. That's fine. I like looking through your clothes."
"Okay, it's getting late. I'm gonna have a shower so we can take our time to get ready, yeah?"
"Perfect." I smiled.
I walked into the closet. I had the power to choose whatever I wanted to see on him. I got a random shirt and dug my face into it. His scent was all over it and I took the time to breathe it in, letting it linger on my nostrils. I smiled as I moved it away from my face, not wanting Harry to catch my stalkerish movement.

I looked through his clothes some more and went for a colorful shirt with I guess he would match with black skinny jeans. I heard Harry moving around the room so I supposed he was done with the shower.
"Hey, I'm gonna go shower now." I told him.
"And I'll choose your outfit." He smiled as I walked past him.
I showered quickly, eager to see what he had laid out for me.
"I made our outfits match." He said cheekily.
I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
"What did you pick?" I asked, walking over to the closet.
My smiled faded as I saw what he had chosen.
"Do you not like it? I can pick something else." He said in reply to my reaction.
"No. I love it." I lied.
He had chosen the same pink skirt I wore for my first date with Brad. I decided to let it go. Harry had put all his effort to make us match and look good. I didn't have the right to ruin it for him.
"We're gonna look so cute." I stated.
"It's a shame we're not leaving the hotel. Nobody but us will be able to see how good we look." He smiled.
"But I will not wear heels today." I said, observing my feet.
"Why do you like to hurt yourself like that?" He laughed.
"I don't know. And I wear heels everyday for work."
We heard a knock on the door.
"I'll go see who it is." I told him, afraid it would be Casey arriving early.
"Wait. Your robe." He said.
I substituted my towel for it and rushed to the door.
