Ready To Run

Period Pains

"And then  he didn't even drink the bloody thing!" I finish my rant, finally pausing for a breath.
"What a dick" Harry's voice says from my phone.
"Tell me about it" I sigh, running my hands down my face. "And to make matters worse I started my period when I got home. I'm sorry but I really don't feel like going out tonight" I tell him, feeling disappointed.
"Don't worry about it. We can reschedule when you're feeling better. Why don't you get a shower and relax?" He tells me softly. I feel a weight lift off my shoulders and a familiar warmness fill me.
"Thank you" I sigh "you're the best"
"I know" he boasts, and I can practically hear his grin. "I'll talk to you soon. Go get that shower" he adds
"Alright. See you later" I smile, pulling myself up from my nest of blankets I had made on the couch.
"Bye" he says before the line cuts off.

I sigh as I make my way towards the bathroom, deciding a shower was a good idea. I had been feeling gross since I got home from my day with Bob.

I turn the knob of the shower and cold water immediately starts pouring from the shower head. I grab a fluffy white towel and put it on the radiator as the water begins to slowly warm up. Once I had shimmied out of my clothes, I stepped into the shower.

The warm water cascaded down my hair and back, releasing the built up tension from my disastrous day. I allowed myself to stand under the warm flow of water for a few minuets before deciding I had wasted enough water and grabbed the shampoo. I lathered my hair in a thick layer of soap and gently massaged it into my roots, feeling the stress leave my body as my fingers gently moved over my scalp. Water trickled down my hair, removing the soap as my hands assisted the best they could in my relaxed state. I bent down to pick up the conditioner bottle and tried my best to ignore the cramp the screamed at me from the action. The thought of lying down in my bed suddenly became my main priority, so I quickly applied the conditioner and washed my body.

Once all the soap was gone, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me. Opening the cupboard, I grabbed a pad from the small shelf inside. Of course it was the last one in the packet. I shook my head as I left the room. Today just wasn't my day.

I quickly chose some underwear and stuck the pad on before pulling them fully up. I put on a pair of sweatpants and an old top out of my drawer before hesitating as something caught my eye. I smiled slightly to myself as I saw Harry's old jacket he had lent to me when we first met. I pulled that out and wrapped it around me, surprised to find it still me. I doubt it would still fit Harry, given how much he's grown, so really I shouldn't worry about having to return it.

I eye my bed, glad to finally be able to relax when a knocking sound came from my door. I groaned loudly as I stomped to my door. Whoever this was better have a bloody brilliant reason for disturbing me. Yanking my door open moodily, I prepare a sharp scowl for the dickhead. I stop in my tracks as I see a familiar face stood in front of me.

"Hey" Harry smiles, almost sheepishly.
"Oh hey. I thought we agreed we weren't going out tonight" I say, feeling confused.
"We did. I just thought you could use some cheering up" he tells me, lifting his hands. I notice he has a plastic bag in one hand and a cardboard pizza box balancing on his other arm.

I feel my chest warm immediately and my eyes burn with the need to cry. My day had gone so wrong but of course he was here to make it all right again.

"Oh my god. That's the sweetest thing ever" I smile, pushing back my overwhelmed tears and letting him inside "thank you Harry"
"I just want to make sure my girl is doing okay" he smiles setting the pizza and the bag on the coffee table.

Once his hands were free, I wrap my arms around his body and hug him tightly. He pulls me closer to him and rests his hands around my waist and on the back of my head. I couldn't express the gratefulness I felt towards him with words, I just needed him close to me.

"Hey come on the pizza will get cold" he laughs after I refuse to pull away from him. I move my head out from the crook of his neck and look up at his beautiful features. His eyes really were the most vibrant when he smiled and the dimples popped out in his cheeks, making my heart flutter just at the sight.

"You really didn't have to do this for me Harry" I say earnestly, refusing to move my eyes away from his.
"I want to. You're the most important person in my life right now and I hate that you're sad" he says, his voice so low he was practically whispering. He pulls me closer to him and quickly presses his lips against mine.

His lips move softly against mine, his hands holding me tightly against his solid body. My hands wrap around his shoulders, feeling the start of his soft curls and lightly running my fingers through them. I can feel Harry smile into the kiss at the action, causing me to smile back, breaking the kiss.

"Come on you big softie let's put a movie on" he grins pulling me down to sit on my couch.

"What's in the bag?" I ask out of curiosity, watching as his face turns a slight pink colour, confusing me further.

"Oh... well it's just some sweets and chocolate. And I um... I didn't know what you used so I got you a few different... yeno" he blushed even darker, refusing to meet my eyes

"No I don't think I do" I grinned, watching as his eyes went slightly wider and he turned to look at me.

"Oh.... Just look" he mumbled, picking up the bag and tossing it over to me. I look inside and laugh as I see he bought at least 6 packs of different tampons and pads.

"Thanks Haz" I giggled "but how many of these do you think I'm gonna need?" I can't help but laugh at how uncomfortable he seemed.

"I just didn't know what one you used so I got them all" he says, an embarrassed smile forming on his face, showing his dimples again.

"That's so cute" I laughed, leaning my head on his shoulder as he picked up the remote.

"Shut up and pick a film" he grins, but pulls me closer and wraps his arm securely around me. For the first time all day, I felt content.

Omg it's literally been forever! Just got fired from my job oops... oh well gives me more time to write 😂❤️
