STRIP

20.

Harry Styles

Clementine and I haven't been separated in three days. She stayed the night again on Wednesday, skipping her class saying it wasn't important, and stayed Thursday. I genuinely can't get enough of that woman. I don't know how I've gone this long without her in my life because now I can't imagine a day without her.  

Today, Friday, we've just been sat in my office all day at work, I had shit to do and she had school work to finish and I wasn't ready to part ways with her yet so I asked her to come with me. She easily agreed before wrapping her arms around me and pecking my lips multiple times. That's something else I don't know how I went without, her lips. 

The club opened about thirty minutes ago, Niall and Harlow came up for a few minutes to say hello but other than that we've been alone all day, sat on opposite sides of the desk. 

"Why don't you come sit with me again?" I smirk looking up at her. She's resting her head in the palm of her hand just looking at me. 

"Because last time you didn't finish your work," she chuckles. 

"Last time I didn't get to bend you over this desk either," I state watching her cheeks turn a bright red as she giggles and shakes her head. 

"How about, you finish up that work, I go talk to Harlow, and then I'll come back up and we can fix that problem," she suggests pushing her chair out and standing up. 

"I should have never brought that chair in here for you," I laugh. She quickly walks over and presses her lips to my cheek. 

"I'll be back in twenty minutes," she smiles before walking towards the door and opening it seeing Iris standing right outside with her fist raised ready to knock. 

"Oh, sorry, I was just coming to see if you could get me something for dinner," Iris speaks, walking into the room. 

"Oh shit, yeah, Clementine, are you hungry?" I call to her as she's just outside the door. 

"Yeah, order me anything," she yells back before shutting the door leaving Iris and me alone. 

"What would you like, darling?" I point for her to sit in the chair Clementine was just occupying. I hope she didn't hear that conversation just before Clementine got up. 

"Maybe Subway?" She suggests as she sits down.

"Alright, I'll order it now, what have you been doing?" I ask. 

"Just doing homework, I called my friends they want to hang out again," she smiles. 

"Your friends?" I grin. I haven't gotten used to her saying friends, it hasn't been a common term from her lips since our parents passed. "They could come over again soon? Maybe I can see if Jack will let me not come into work tomorrow and they could sleepover?" 

"Uh, maybe, I don't know if I can ask, I will try though," she smiles shyly. 

"Whatever you're comfortable with, babe, I'll talk to Jack and if you want to then you can invite them, if not, we could just have a game night or something," I tell her turning back to start typing on my computer again.

"Will Clementine be there?" 

"I'll ask her, I'm sure she will though," I smile. I hope she comes back up soon. It's only been five minutes and I already want to see her again. 

"Do you love her?" Iris surprises me by asking. 

"What?" I look up from my computer caught off guard by her question. 

"I don't know how long it takes to fall in love with someone, but I do know when someone makes you extremely happy and you want to spend every waking moment with them, you love them. It's like with friendships, within the first week you can tell if you love your friends, it's just a phrase to show how much you care about someone. I don't think a relationship should be any different. When my friends hung up tonight they said bye love you, and it made me realize how quickly you can grow to care for someone. So I'm just wondering if you love her," she grins.
