Harry's POV:

"You're early" Darlene states in amusement as she opens the door wider to let me in to her apartment.

"I know" I respond with a shrug. I just wanted a bit of time with her before Niall and Maya show up for movie night.

She shakes her head at me with a smile on her face which I can't help but return back. I make my way inside halting in front of her to kiss her quickly before I continue the rest of the way into her apartment.

It's spotless, she definetly went on a cleaning frenzy earlier today. Her entire place smells like the same candle she's constantly burning. I don't know the name of the scent, I do know it's pink though. Now I'll always associate this smell with her. I should figure out what the exact candle is, I feel like that'd be a good christmas present.

"Should I order pizza or chinese food?" She asks curiously, staring down at her phone as she walks towards the kitchen. I follow, taking a seat on the stool next to the one she's on.

I ponder for a second, we had pizza last night but you can never have it too much. Especially when she likes the same kind as me. She got all cute and shy when she opened the box of half pineapple, half cheese pizza.

"I swear if you make fun of me-"

"You like pineapple pizza too?" I state in excitement. Whenever I found out a similar interest of ours it feels like a reward. I don't know how else to describe it.

She stares at me in apprehension, trying to judge if I'm messing with her or not.

"Yeah" she states, nodding her head, a smile growing on her face.

"As if you couldn't be anymore perfect" I say joyfully before reaching down to grab a slice of our pizza.

"Chinese food for sure" I respond, pretty happy with my decision. I haven't had it in awhile so I'm actually looking forward to it.

"That's what I was thinking" Darlene responds, glancing to me briefly before she returns to her phone.

"What do you want?" She states after a few moments, opening up her notes app.

"Orange chicken and fried rice"

Her head snaps to the side to face me with a look of surprise on her face,

"That's my exact order" she says with a laugh, her expression being filled with disbelief.

I raise my eyebrows a bit in shock. I guess if I ever get us chinese food her order will be easy to remember.

"Anyways" She states letting out a single laugh before turning her attention back to her phone and typing away. After a bit, she's putting her phone up to her ear making me furrow my brows in confusion.

"Aren't you going to ask Niall and Maya what they want?"

"I already know their orders" She says casually before she pulls her phone away deciding to put the call on speaker so she can view her list of items at the same time.

She's observant just like me, it's one of the things I love about her. She pays attention to everything you tell her. You only have to say it once to her in order for it to be stored away in her brain forever. She just picks up on the little things, and sometimes those are the most endearing ones.
