They say love can drive you crazy, my dear

twenty

I finally fall asleep but I wake up every time I hear sirens from outside, thinking that it is the police and they came for me. 

I don't go to work today. I turn off my phone and watch TV all day and only eat sandwiches. I am even scared to go outside. 

But in the afternoon, someone knocks on my door. I open it and my heart skips a beat because I see Harry standing in front of me. My jaw drops but I let him in and he sits down and takes a deep breath. He looks around and sees the empty bottles of alcohol on the floor because I was too lazy to throw them in the trash. The look on his face changes but he doesn't say anything about the mess.

"Hi," he begins in a scared tone.

I can see that he doesn't know what to say so I sit down next to him and wait patiently.

He clears his throat and stands up.

"So about yesterday... I am really sorry. I think I was just too scared to say yes. I went to a bar yesterday but I didn't have fun without you," he smiles.

I am super scared and relieved at the same time and he says nothing about Eleanor.

"I would like to start it all over again," Harry says.

I smile and don't understand why it is so easy for him to apologize when I was the one who messed things up. 

"I'm so glad to hear that. Because me too, Harry," I reply and he leans closer to kiss me.

And this time, I don't lean away.

"I'll take a shower and brush my teeth," I say because I know that I stink of alcohol.

Harry nods and I go into the bathroom and spiff myself.

I enter the living room a few minutes later and see that Harry has cleaned up the mess.

"Oh baby," I say fondingly.

He just smiles at me and I go and sit in his lap.

"You have no idea about how much I missed you," I whisper and I can finally feel the familiar scent of his cologne that gives me butterflies.

Harry doesn't reply but he pulls me closer and hugs me tighter. He takes off my T-shirt and looks me in the eyes.

"Did you miss this too?" he asks.

I smile and we stop for a second.

"Of course, baby. I missed everything about you."

Harry blushes and gives me a kiss and starts taking off his clothes.

"Oh, so this is naughty Harry today, okay," I laugh as he pulls me into the bedroom.

We get lost in each other and I finally feel complitely happy next to him. Until the second Eleanor Calder crosses my mind.
