Mercedes POV

"Come on baby get up." I groan rolling over on my back and stretching out my arms "I made breakfast come on get up." I feel a nudge in my side. "Alright Alright, Dre." I yawn

The covers are thrown off me leaving me cold. "What the-" when I open my eyes I spot a very angry Harry. "What did I tell you last night?"

"Huh?" He clenches the spatula in his hand. I rub my eyes, I was supposed to get up before him. "I um I'm sorry." Is all that leaves my mouth "Get up and head to the bathroom." He grumbles and leaves the bedroom opening the door and causing it to slam into the wall.

I sigh and go to brush my teeth. I find a toothbrush in the cabinet still in the pack and I use that, I then wash my face I find a comb to tame my unruly hair.

I take my purse before I go downstairs.

I smell it before I see it. The eggs, pancakes and the bacon. It's placed on the countertop by the kitchen, something new to this house. Little petal roses are on the table and on the stool. I clear my throat and sit down.

"Eat up." He's still angry about a few minutes ago I see. He avoids my gaze, I take what I can eat.

"How's the pancakes?" He questions rubbing his hands against his pants. He turns to me, He looks nervous "Good." He nods a smile coming to his lips "That's good." I continue eating

He plays with the petals on the table across from me. "You didn't mention this, how does it look? I did it just for you." He stares at the ground "It's really pretty." I try to smile at him

"Good, Good." He smiles

"What time is it?"

"5 in the morning." Once he says this my eyes bulge. "What?!"

"Why so early? I have work at 8:00!"

Harry laughs "I know but if you woke up at 7:30 I would've had to rush you to your apartment and I wanted to spend some time with you."

My hands cover my face. "You're not upset are you?" He questions a hand place on my arm. I flinch "Um no of course not," I smile

"You're not the one driving though." I laugh "I'm driving... by myself." I say "Yeah I wanted to drive you." He plays with the petal in hand

"But you know what that's good you did because I remembered I needed to do some things at home before work so I can just drive now and I'll make it in time for that." I smile to soften my words

His eyes scrunch in confusion "I'm starting to think that you don't like the idea." He says his hand visibly crushing the soft petal.

"I do! I do." I rush touching his tense hand. He looks up at me and smiles "Good."

"What do you want to do first? Watch a movie? Maybe make something." He shrugs giving ideas

"How about we go back to sleep." I yawn. Harry's face is straight "I'm not tired." His voice hard

"Harry you can't blame me it's 5 in the morning." He rolls his eyes "Come on the early bird gets the worm."

He goes around the counter and tugs at my arm "I already have a movie for us to watch."

He turns on the smart tv. Wow it's huge bigger than the one before. The movie starts playing once he hits the button on the remote.

Great Gatsby

"It's to sad." I complain "shh" Is all he says. He pulls me into him.

It feels like hours and I start to drift to sleep. Once I hear fireworks I jump up "Look babygirl your missing the best part." He points to the tv his hand around my shoulder shaking me
