You stared at Henry in disbelief, your mouth hung open as Henry just smiled at you. "You want me to what?"
"Come with me."
Henry had slipped back into bed after making the pair of you a cup of coffee on a rare morning he didn't get up at the crack of dawn.
You shook your head, "I... Henry, I... I can't come."
Henry let out a soft sigh. "Why can't you come? Hmm?"
"I-" You thought about what he was asking. "I can't."
"You still haven't told me why."
You sighed, "I need a job, Henry I can't just swan off for months on end... You're only asking me because you feel sorry for me." You sat back against the head board.
"No, I'm not." Henry shook his head, "I'm asking because I've been thinking about it for a while... And last night, pushed me to ask."
You frowned thinking about the night before.
You stood outside in the pouring rain, shivering from the cold as you waited for Henry to answer the door. Usually you wouldn't just turn up unannounced, especially when you knew he was busy with work, but when the taxi driver asked where to go, you gave him Henry's address.
The sound of Kal barking from somewhere in the house made you smile, hugging your thin jacket closer to you. A moment later a light was switched on before the sound of Henry telling Kal to be quiet before the door was opened.
"He- Y/N?" Henry's mouth fell open as he ran his eyes over your soaking form.
"H-Hi." You sniffled. "M'sorry, for turning up unannounced."
Henry frowned, "No, don't be. Baby, come in." He reached out and pulled you inside. "What's happened?" He asked softly as he pulled you into his chest.
You broke down crying, hugging closer to Henry as he pressed a kiss to the top of your head, holding you as you cried. He whispered soothing words as he hugged you closer to him.
"I quit." You whispered into Henry's chest.
Henry pulled back from you, "You quit?"
You nodded and looked up at him. Your eyes full of tears and that's when Henry noticed you were crying and had been for while.
"Oh, baby," He leaned down and hugged you closer to him, resting his head on top of yours. "Why are you crying? You've wanted to do this for so long."
"I don't know what I'm going to do now."
"You said you didn't know what you were going to do now, so... Be my PA." He smiled at you.
You shook your head, "I can't, Henry."
"Why?"
"Because..." Why couldn't you go? "Don't you think you'd get sick of me? Seeing me every day." You frowned.
Henry smiled at you, placing his on top of yours. "Baby, wouldn't you rather us get annoyed with one another for being under each other's feet, than miss each other for months on end with only our phones to connect us?"
You nodded slowly, "But... What about my flat?"
"Thought you said Jess had been extra annoying these last few months? Maybe it's time to move on from there too."
It was true. Ever since you got back from your romantic Valentine's weekend with Henry she had been behaving differently towards you. Almost as if she was trying to drive you away, purposefully making your life difficult. The two of you hadn't even spoken for a few days after the way she behaved towards Kal.
"WHAT THE FUCK?! Y/N!" Jess shouted from the living room.
You quickly ran out your bedroom to find Jess pushing Kal off the sofa with a disgusted look on her face. "What? What happened?"
"Where the fuck has this thing come from?" She pointed at Kal as he walked up to you, sitting by your feet.
"He's Henry's. I'm looking after him for a few hours." You bent down in front of him. "I thought you loved dogs?" You asked, ruffling Kal's furr and making kissing faces at him.
"That, is not a dog. He's a monster," She scowled, picking up a pillow. "Look what he did to my pillow." She pointed to the drop of drool.
"Relax, would ya'. You make more mess when you eat." You joked. "Doesn't she Kal-E." You kissed his face.
"Stupid name for a dog." She muttered.
You glared up at her. "Leave him alone." You growled and stood up, "I'll take him to my room if you're gonna be such a bitch. You don't hear me complaining about the drooling blokes you bring home. At least Kal is handsome."
"He's stupid." She bent over and grabbed Kal's superman toy, scoffing as she waved it in the air, unaware of the excitement she was causing in Kal. "God, could he stroke his own ego anymore."
"Oh, stop being such a bitch, Jess." You tried to take Kal's toy but she snatched it away.
"I'm not, a bitch." She hissed.
Kal barked, trying to get his toy off Jess as he jumped up, knocking her over onto the couch.
"Ugh, get off me you little f-"
You pulled Kal back and you snatched his toy off her. "Don't be so mean to him. God," You gave Kal his toy. "I won't bring him here again. I won't put him through this again, poor soul, having to put up with you." You walked off with Kal to the your room.
"Fuck you, Y/N," Jess huffed.
"Won't it be weird, me working for you?" You whispered looking up at him.
"Is that a yes?" Henry grinned at you, playfully poking your side making you blush.
After receiving tag team pleading puppy dog looks from Henry and Kal, you agreed to be Henry's PA for his next film and move out of your little flat.
You were worried about telling Jess but Henry came with you for moral support and held your hand as you told her. You weren't surprised when she scowled at you, and then Henry, and then glared down at Kal who seemed to have saved up all his drool just for Jess. Not wanting to waste any time sticking around, you paid the last month's rent (thanks to Henry) and packed up your things, and in a couple of hours you were back at Henry's.
"You don't have a lot, do you?" Henry frowned as he helped you move the last box into his house.
You shook your head. "Didn't really have the space to have a lot, did I?" You smiled at him over your shoulder as you carried your own, lighter box in.
Henry hummed, "I suppose." He grumbled. "I have a spare room," He placed the box on the ground and stood up straight, placing his hands on his hips. "Or, you can, hmm... Put your things in, my room..." He shrugged, blushing slightly as he looked down to his feet.
"Oh," You blushed biting your bottom lip. "So, we're... Living together?"
Henry's lips spread into a grin. "We might as well get used to being under each other's feet." He chuckled. "Unless, you don't want to."
You nodded. "I want to."
"It's not too quick?" Henry slowly walked towards you as you shook your head. "So... You're moving in with me?" You bit back your smile. Henry grinned as he placed his hands on your waist. "So, that means we can, christen the house."
"What?"
Henry grinned bending down before you and threw you over his shoulder causing you to scream out. "We'll start with the bedroom!" He slapped your backside playfully making you squeal.
