"Hey, baby?" Harry's head poked from the bathroom door, a slight smile on his face as he saw his girl. His hair was dripping wet from the shower he just had, and his towel was slung on his shoulder.

"Hmm?" Lorelei answered, barely taking her eyes off her show. It had been about a week since everything had been revealed to her, and she would like to believe she was handling it well.

Which meant not well.

"Can we go out today?" He asked. Lorelei froze, finally turning to look at her boyfriend. His eyebrows furrowed as he saw her stiffened form. "You okay?" He walked the distance to her stop on the bed, stopping directly in front of her. She could not help the appreciative glance her eyes made over his toned torso.

"Mhm," She replied. "I just don't wanna go out tonight. Can we stay in?" To be honest, Lorelei was too scared to go anywhere because of the fear that someone would try to kill her. She feared there would be someone lurking at every corner, waiting to stab her or steal her away. And, of course, Harry had no idea what was going on, so, it pained her to cancel their dates. This would be the first of many.

Harry paused he didn't want to say anything especially since he knew she was dealing with something. If only she would tell him what. She watched him slowly nod his head. "Ok, if that's what you want." Dipping down to her level, he kissed the side of her head, then her nose, her cheeks, and finally her lips. He whispered I love you before moving away to get dressed.

She watched him as he did so, eyes raking over his muscled back. "I can feel you staring at me," He said, a chuckle escaping his lips.

She smirked, "Well, excuse me for trying to appreciate my boyfriend."

He pulled on his shirt, ran his hands through his hair in an attempt to tame it, and turned towards her. He moved closer to her so that their noses were touching. Lorelei felt her heart pounding in her chest, the blood rushing to her ears. "What boyfriend?" He asked, a teasing smirk making its way onto his face.

"My mistake, I thought I saw my totally hot and sexy boyfriend but it must have been a trick of the light," She countered, and he laughed boisterously. His hand came up to brush the hair from her face, and his thumb stroked her cheek delicately.

She decided to make the first move. Cupping his cheeks with both hands, she pulled his lips to hers. A choked sound escaped him as he kissed her back, their breaths mingling together.

Her hands made their way to his curls, pulling and massaging. He pulled them both downwards so they were lying on the bed with him on top of her.

His hands roamed her body, pulling out strangled moans from the back of her throat and kissing her deeply. He pressed butterfly kisses up her throat, relishing in the sounds she made.

"Well, this is a nice date," She breathed out.

He buried his head in the crook of her neck, chuckling. "I love you," He said, kissing her again.
