A/N ~~ Back to London.. How we all feeling?


~~Wednesday Afternoon, London~~

Normal POV

After spending our last weekend in L.A with Scarlett and Rose, Lizzie made sure it was just us until we had our flights booked to come back to London. Lizzie managed to get all her work done earlier than expected so we moved our flights to Wednesday, giving us a little longer in London with Dad and Maisie before I have to go to Pirbright. I hated seeing Rose so upset when she left on Sunday with Scarlett, but I made sure to promise her I would see her again as soon as I could, hopefully before I have to go back on Tour again. We spent all day Sunday in Lizzie's garden before the rain forced us inside so we ended up watching some more Disney movies together. As Lizzie was with Rose picking fruit, I got some one on one time with Scarlett, which was actually really nice. We got to know each other better, and she told me about Colin and how they met. We managed to speak more openly about my work since Lizzie was occupied, so Scarlett got to ask more in-depth questions that I know she has been dying to ask. I'm so glad Scarlett approves of us being together, considering she is one of the closest people to Lizzie outside of her family, it means a lot to me that we get along so well already. I'm actually looking forward to meeting Colin too, he seems like a nice guy who treats Scarlett the way she deserves. We ended up just talking for hours as Lizzie spent some quality time with Rose, which was adorable to watch. She is going to make the most amazing Mother one day. When the rain brought us all back inside, we settled for some more Disney movies as Lizzie cooked for us all with the fresh vegatables she picked from her garden. Scarlett ended up posting a few pictures and videos from Disneyland, which sent the internet into meltdown within minutes. All our phones never stopped all afternoon since Scarlett tagged us in all the pictures. I don't think I will ever get used to all the attention, but being with Lizzie is worth it all and so much more.

"Baby.. We're landing.. Time to wake up.."

I gently wake Lizzie up as the plane is landing in London. I know how much she hates it, so I left her to sleep as long as I can before wanting to give her a few minutes to wake up. "Come on baby.. Or your going to be all sleepy when we go to get our bags." I whisper near her ear, leaning down slightly to where she is sleeping on my chest. I still can't help but laugh at how she can curl up so small and fall asleep in pretty much any seat we find ourselves in. "Mm.. 5 more minutes.." She mumbles lazily, making me just laugh as I nod my head softly and wrap my arm back around her, my hand stroking up and down her back soothingly. Thankfully, I managed to get her seatbelt on without waking her earlier so I let her sleep until the wheels touch down, finishing the chapter of my book before carefully packing everything away without disturbing the sleeping beauty beside me. "Welcome to London, England. It is currently 7:15pm and is 6 degrees so make sure you have your coats at the ready. Thank you for flying with us today." I take that as my cue to wake Lizzie up properly, as much as she doesn't want to wake up. I pack up our hand luggage as Lizzie wakes herself up and wraps herself in a jacket before we make our way into the airport. The cold air hitting us instantly as we step off the plane, Lizzie attaching herself to my side as she feels the temperature drop. I keep her close as we walk inside the airport and head for our bags, thankfully we are not waiting too long before we are walking through the airport and as if out of no where, we are both surprised to see Maisie running at us with a huge smile on her face. I can't but laugh as Lizzie suddenly perks up from beside me when she sees Maisie, and rushes off to meet her half way and opens her arms for my little sister. Dad soon follows, pulling me into a hug with a beaming smile on his face. "It's good to see you Kiddo!" He tells me as we share a long hug before we pull away and Maisie quickly takes his place, jumping into my arms.

"I can't believe you have a tan in January!" Maisie teases as we all make our way to the car. We all burst out laughing as she re-attaches herself to Lizzie's side, making my heart race in my chest seeing how close they are. I help Dad with the bags as Lizzie and Maisie get in the car, catching up on everything since we left for L.A. as Dad subtly checks in with how I am feeling before we join them in the car. I love being able to tell him how happy I genuinely am, and how well I have been sleeping. It's not very often I get to be completely honest so he doesn't worry. The drive home is filled with Maisie leading the conversation, wanting to know everything we have been up too before she goes on to tell us what she has been doing and how School is going so far. I love hearing how well she is doing, and seeing Dad's proud smile is more than I can ask for. When we get home, I help Dad get our bags and Lizzie is dragged away by Maisie. We bring the suitcases inside and instantly I am hit with the smell of something amazing cooking in the kitchen. I look back at Dad, who shakes his head before I look over at Maisie who is beaming back at me. "Did you cook?" I ask, making her giggle nervously as she nods her head. "I have been practising cooking whilst you have both been away.." She tells us sheepishly, but I can't hide my huge smile growing across my face. "I can't wait to try some Maisie. What have you cooked?" Lizzie quickly asks excitedly, helping Maisie to relax a little as she beams back at her. "I made a sausage casserole with mash and vegatables." She beams and I can't contain how proud I am of her. Lizzie really has brought out the best in her. "Sounds amazing Maisie." I easily tell her, and she laughs nervously as she rushes to check everything. "Why don't we go take our bags upstairs and get changed before dinner is ready?" I suggest and Lizzie quickly agrees as she grabs her suitcase. "I'll call you both when everything is ready." Maisie tells us and we smile and nod in reply before taking our bags upstairs.

"I am so proud of Maisie." Lizzie beams as we reach my room and start sorting through our bags to unpack a little before getting changed. "Me too. This is all you, she has never had a huge interest in cooking until you got her to help you." I make sure to tell her and she quickly beams over at my words. "Well, I'm glad I could help." She quickly adds, making my smile grow impossibly bigger before I go into the bathroom to start the shower, wanting to wash away the long plane journey. I let Lizzie shower first, before I get a quick one as she changes into some comfy clothes. I already feel loads better as I slip into some joggers and a hoodie. I sit next to Lizzie on the bed to put some socks on, just as I hear Lizzie's phone ringing. She quickly answers, greeting Rachel as she looks over with a soft smile when I lean back to make sure everything is okay. She doesn't say much as her free hand reaches over and starts to run through my slightly damp hair. I lay back on her lap as she strokes through my hair softly, humming down the phone before her eyes widen a little in surprise at something. My nerves start to grow as she stays silent, before she sits up a little straighter, causing me to jump up and turn to sit facing her on my bed. "Yeah she is here with me, hold on I will put you on speaker." I look over in confusion as Lizzie takes the phone from her ear, and places it down infront of us both on the bed. "Okay Rachel, your on speaker." She speaks loudly, making sure she can hear down the phone as her eyes stay fixed on me. "Great, thank you Liz. Hi Harley, it's Rachel." I hear her cheery voice from the phone, but my thoughts are already spiralling wondering why I need to be a part of this conversation, my heart pounding in my chest. "Hey Rachel, how are you?" I reply unsurely, not knowing what to expect. "I'm wonderful, thank you for asking, yourself?" We spend a minute or so in general conversation as I glance between the phone and Lizzie, who is watching my every move as her hand has found mine, lacing our fingers together as she toys with them nervously.

"Okay so, the reason I am calling and wanted you on the phone Harley, is that I have been recieving some e-mails about getting you involved in some Endorsement work.." Rachel begins to explain, and I am already completely lost in what she is getting at. "Alright.. What does that mean?" I ask, wanting to understand what she is talking about. "So, basically what this means is some companies want you to promote their products on your social media." Rachel adds and instantly my eyes widen as I look up and see Lizzie's smile. I give her a confused look, making her giggle as she squeezes my hand. "Wow, okay.. What companies?" I question, not knowing what to think even still. "So far the main ones have been Nike, Under Armour and Calvin Klein." Rachel lists and my eyes widen even more. Those are some big companies. I catch Lizzie giggling at my surprised state, her nose scrunching adorably as she leans in and pecks my lips. "Don't freak out Soldier." She teases, making Rachel laugh on the phone. "I know this is all new for you Harley, but after seeing how natural you looked in your Photo shoot with Liz, I kind of seen it coming." Rachel pretty much gushes, making Lizzie beam over as I let a small smile slip onto my lips. "So what would I have to do?" I ask, still in shock. I catch Lizzie's eyes widen in surprise at my question, making me laugh at her now. "Well, basically you would get sent some products by which ever company you go with, and then you would post them on Instagram mainly. So for example, Under Armour want to send you some gym wear, so all you would have to do is wear their gear when you go to the gym, and post some pictures tagging them in it. We can talk you through what they want from you in your posts, and since your Instagram is pretty well followed, you'll get paid really well." I catch my breath in my throat at her last words. I could get paid for posting pictures on Instagram? How the fuck does that work? I'm not a celebrity.. I'm just a Soldier from London.

"Okay I'm lost.." I admit, making both Rachel and Lizzie giggle softly. "It's okay Harley, take a minute to process." Lizzie quickly comforts before Rachel adds, "I know this is out of the blue Harley, but I wanted to let you know as soon as I got some serious offers coming in." I smile and nod my head, taking a minute or so to digest everything. I mean, what's an Instagram post here and there? I post pictures anyway on there, not a huge amount but it's not like I don't at all. And I'm sure Lizzie could give me some help, maybe even Maisie could get involved since she is constantly on Instagram. "Harley, I can see the steam coming from your ears.. Talk to us." Lizzie soon comments, making me laugh as I snap myself from my daze. "Sorry, just thinking.." I add and she smiles softly before Rachel decides to give me some more information. "Well, not to overwhelm you, but they are all ready to send you some products as soon as I get an answer from you." I nod my head, even though I know she can't see me, making Lizzie giggle softly as she searches my face for something. "So if I say yes, what would happen next?" I ask a little more confidently this time around, making Lizzie beam over as we wait for Rachel to explain everything. "Okay so I would get in contact with the companies you would be interested in, and then they would send you some new products they want to promote as well as sending me some sort of guidelines for what they want from you. Which would basically be how many pictures they want you to post and if they want anything specific, for example if they want you in the gym for the pictures." Rachel explains and it all sounds pretty simple really. Surely it can't be that easy? "And I would get paid for all this?" I ask, leaning down on my arm and laying my head on Lizzie's lap, my jetlag creeping up on me slowly. "You would, most of the time you'd get paid after posting 2 or 3 pictures of different products they send you. But in some cases, they pay you before then. And this would go straight to your account, no middle-man to worry about."

I let Lizzie's fingers soothe me from worrying about anything as they stroke through my hair again, my hair pretty much dry at this point. I look up to Lizzie to gauge her reaction to all this, but all she does is smile down at me with adoring eyes. "Oh.. Okay. So free stuff and I get paid.. Sounds good to me." I joke, making Lizzie giggle and Rachel laughs with her. "Exactly.. And it's not too bad money either Harley. Which is why I wanted to get you on board, I didn't want you missing out on the opportunity." Rachel quickly adds and I smile at her words. "Thank you Rachel, I'm glad you did. It sounds tempting.. But is there contracts and legal stuff involved?" I question, not wanting to get into something too complicated. I see Lizzie even look a little hesitent but Rachel soon comes to stop us both from spiralling. "It's not so much as a really in depth, hugely complicated and binding contract.. Just some small print to look over, which I am more than happy to get the team to take care of for you." I look over and see Lizzie's beaming smile creep back at Rachel's offer. She really does have an amazing team taking care of her. "Thank you Rachel.. The only thing I'm worried about is if the Brig at work would have any problems with doing anything like this. I can't imagine he would, but would I be able to make sure before committing to anything?" I suggest, not wanting to say yes if there is something that could stop me in the near future. I can't imagine it being a problem since a lot of the guys have jobs when they are home from Tour to stay busy, but I'd rather be safe and check in with Charlie first. "Of course, I would have suggested doing that myself anyways. I can send you some more information that you can pass on if you need too. Covering anything we haven't over the phone. Get Lizzie to send me over your e-mail address and I will do the rest. And then when you come to a decision, send me an e-mail to let me know and we can go from there." I smile and nod as I look up to Lizzie, seeing her beaming smile never falter as she softly nods her head with me, letting me know she is with me on this like she always is.

I make sure to thank Rachel, as does Lizzie, before we say our goodbyes and I slump back down on Lizzie's lap, making her giggle as I let out a huge sigh and rub my hands over my tired face. "Talk to me Harley.." She whispers softly as her fingers go back to stroking through my hair. "It's just a lot to process in a way.. I never expected to be getting any offers like that.. I mean, I'm just a Soldier from London.." I ramble a little, making Lizzie giggle as she leans down to kiss my lips, stopping my rambling thoughts. "I know it's a lot, and very out of the blue, but this happens to a lot of people after a successful photoshoot.. When they see potential in someone, they don't wait around." Lizzie comforts me, trying to help my scrambled thoughts. And it works. It makes sense, but I really didn't think anyone would offer me things like this. Is it too easy? But then again, I trust Lizzie and her team to take care of me. "I get that.. I do. I just, can it really be that easy? Posting a few pictures wearing their stuff?" I think out loud, Lizzie's other hand tracing patterns over my skin under my hoodie. I look up and see her soft smile as she nods her head slowly. "It actually is Soldier.. Since you have so many followers now, once you start posting their products and tag them, people will no doubt have a look and probably buy them for themselves. Especially if they give you some discount codes to go with them." She explains and I nod my head along as I let her words sink in. And the more I think about it, the more I remember how many times I have seen people posting stuff like this. I'm sure I have even bought stuff this way in the past. Lizzie seems to let me get lost in my thoughts as she goes onto her phone for a couple of minutes, no doubt messaging with Rachel before she passes me her phone to look at. "This is something I have done for Ash and MK in the past.." She adds as I take her phone to look at her Instagram post from last year. It's a simple picture of Lizzie at an event wearing a long cream dress. Underneath she has tagged her Sisters and The Row, as well as what event she is at in the picture. So it really is that simple..

I hand Lizzie her phone back and reach out for my own, sending a message to Charlie to ask him to give me a call tomorrow when he has some time just as an e-mail comes through. I send the message before sitting up and opening the e-mail, seeing it is from Rachel. I scan over it, seeing everything she told me over the phone before my eyes widen when I get onto the second page. "Holy shit.." I say out loud, not believing what is written infront of me. I feel Lizzie quickly move to lean her chin on my shoulder as she kneels beside me to look over my shoulder. "What is it Harley?" She asks in a slightly worried tone, trying to see what it is. "I could get anything from 5 to 10 thousand pound! That can't be right?" I tell her in complete surprise, making her giggle over my shoulder. "What?" I question, making her giggle even more as she moves to sit infront of me. "I'm guessing you weren't expecting for it to be so much huh?" She teases, and I just shake my head as I look back at my phone, still not believing what is written. "What are you thinking?" She asks sweetly. I look up from my phone, seeing her soft eyes searching mine. "It's just a lot of money for someone like me." I admit a little shyly, causing her to giggle. "Your so adorable Harley.. Everyone feels that way to begin with. I couldn't believe it when I started acting in big movies. Even though I had seen how successful my Sisters were, it still surprising when it's yourself. But these types of companies make so much money from people promoting things online, more than they will ever admit. It's the same with movies, it's insane the amount of money is involved." Lizzie explains as best she can, and I can't lie, seeing her more professional side is really attractive. She understands all of this so much more than me, and it just shows how much she really puts into her work and takes notice of what is going on around her. As well as having an amazing team to help her through it all. "Your right.. Thank you for talking all this through with me baby. I'm going to talk to Charlie and see what he says hopefully tomorrow." Lizzie beams over with rosy cheeks, god she is so cute. "Your more than welcome Soldier. I'm always here for you, no matter what."

"So what is it you'll be promoting?" Maisie asks as we all get comfortable around the kitchen table with our food infront of us. It all looks and smells amazing, just what we both need after a long day of travelling. "Some gym gear from Under Armour, Running trainers from Nike and some aftershave and clothes from Calvin Klein.." I explain what I remember from the e-mail, Maisie's eyes widening as I tell her. "Here you go Kiddo." Dad says as he hands me a bottle and then he passes a glass of wine for Lizzie. "Thanks Dad. Thank you Stuart." We both thank him before we all start eating what Maisie cooked, and it tastes really good. We all make sure to tell her how good it is before she quickly gets back to talking about my new offer. "Everyone does it Sis. I would do it in a heartbeat for the right stuff." She adds and I can't help but laugh at how invested she is. "So you think I should do it?" I ask and she looks at me as if I'm stupid. "Duh! Of course you should. Plus, you can always share what you get with your favourite sister." She jokes and I just shake my head laughing. "Your my only Sister dumbass." I call her out, making Lizzie and Dad laugh as Maisie flips me off across the table as she laughs. "You got me there, but seriously Sis, it's easy money. So go for it, I'll even help you take some pictures to post.." She beams and I can't help but just laugh at her. "In exchange for some clothes obviously.." She adds and we all burst out laughing. "I thought as much, but I'm sure we can make that happen." I agree, making her smile impossibly wider as she celebrates across the table. I feel Lizzie's hand find my leg under the table, giving it a quick squeeze so I look at her and her smile is just as wide. "Proud of you Soldier." She whispers and I can't help but lean in and kiss her cheek before we all get back to our food as we change the subject and catch up on anything we haven't been able to over the phone. Dad telling us about some work projects her has been doing, as well as some upcoming stuff he has. It feels so nice being back home again, especially having Lizzie here with me. My little family back together again.


~~Thursday Morning, London~~

Lizzie POV

I wake up slowly when I hear Harley quietly moving around the bedroom. Normally I don't hear her, but since the morning we went to Disneyland and Harley was so unsettled, I have been a little more aware of her possibly waking up early. I let my eyes open slowly, trying to search for her. I roll over and find her sitting at her desk chair slipping into some socks. I rub my eyes, getting rid of the last of my tiredness before I look back to where Harley is slumped forward, a slight redness to her eyes. "Angel.." I lazily call for her, snapping her from her thoughts as she looks over in surprise from where she is sitting next to her desk. A soft smile finding it's way onto her lips as she slowly gets up and comes to sit beside me. I take her hand in mine, tugging her onto the bed with me. She chuckles as she lets me pull her back onto the bed, letting her lie back before I move to settle on her chest. "What are you doing awake baby?" She asks softly, leaving light kisses on my head. "I heard you moving around.." I mumble into her neck, causing her to laugh lightly. "I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to wake you." She quickly adds and I just shake my head. "It's okay.. Are you going on a run?" I question, knowing it's in her routine especially when we are here in London. "I was thinking of going to the gym actually.." She replies and I quickly lean up on her chest, looking up into her eyes and instantly not wanting to be away from her now I am more awake. Then an idea comes to mind.. "Can I come with you?" I mumble quietly, suddenly feeling very shy about wanting to be a part of her usual routine. I can feel her heart beating harder in her chest in reply to my words. I get even more nervous, not knowing if it is a good or bad reaction so I hide my face in the crook of her neck, making her chuckle softly as her hand runs up and down my back. "Your more than welcome to come to the gym with me baby, but I don't know if you'll be able to keep up.." She teases and all my shyness fades away at her teasing tone as she nips at my waist to make me giggle.

"Do you have some gym stuff with you?" Harley asks as I come out the bathroom after brushing my teeth. "I have some gym leggings somewhere in my case.. And some trainers. But could I borrow a top?" I ask, as Harley is sitting on the bed waiting for me to get ready. "Of course baby." She quickly gets up and searches her wardrobe for me as I change into my leggings and a sports bra. It doesn't take her long to find me a grey t-shirt to go with my black leggings. I catch her eyes widen as she turn around to face where I am standing infront of her mirror typing my hair up in a high ponytail. "What?" I ask a little nervously as her eyes never leave my body. "Nothing I uh, just, wow.. You should come to the gym with me more often." She stumbles over her words, making me giggle as my cheeks heat up. "Maybe I will.." I tease back, turning to where she is walking towards me. "I kind of don't want to give you a t-shirt now so you can't cover up." She says a lot more confidently as she throws the t-shirt onto her shoulder and pulls me in by my waist. "I think it's a little too cold to go out like this Soldier.." I tease in reply, making her chuckle as my hands lift up to the back of her neck. "Yeah your not leaving the house like this. Ever." I look up into Harley's eyes, seeing them darken slightly behind her words. Her hands gripping my waist a little tighter, sending a shiver down my spine. "Is that right?" I tease in return, my voice coming out lower than I thought it would. "It is.. Wouldn't want everyone staring at you like this now would we." She husks in a lower tone of voice. My heart suddenly racing in my chest at her strong arms around my waist, a hint of dominance to her voice. Damn I really like possessive Harley. "Look at you, getting all possessive.." I practically whisper, not trusting my own voice under her intense gaze. "I'm not possessive.. Just protective over what is mine." She rasps as she leans further into my lips with her own. It suddenly got very hot in here.. Wow. I try and lean back to catch my breath, but Harley's grip doesn't let me move, her lips ghosting mine with a subtle smirk, obviously seeing the effect she has on me.

"I'm all yours Soldier." I manage to finally say after taking some quick, shaky breaths. My eyes flickering between her dark brown orbs staring back into my soul. Something about the way she is looking at me, and how dominant she suddenly is with me, my legs feel like they are going to turn to jelly. I love this side to Harley, I don't think I have seen the full extent of it yet.. I can't wait until I do. Because the parts I have seen are incredible. I've never been with someone who is so confident, someone who can be sweet and caring one minute, but then so strong and confident the next. "Damn right you are.." She whispers against my lips before closing the tiny distance left between us, pulling my body flush against hers as she kisses me. I melt into her lips, my knees going weak at her touch. The kiss doesn't last long, but a part of me knows if it kept going, we wouldn't be leaving this room anytime soon. Unfortunatley, we aren't alone anymore so starting something we can't finish is not the wisest thing to do right now. "I love you Harley." I mumble against her lips, scratching lightly at the back of her neck. "I love you too Elizabeth Chase." She whispers in reply, loving the sound of my name coming from her lips. I think she knows how much I love it when a small smirk pulls at the corner of her lips when my smile grows. "Let's get going.." I slowly lean back, taking Harley's t-shirt from her shoulder so I can finish getting ready. Harley turns to make sure she has her bag ready as I slip on her t-shirt, seeing it is an old Army training top. Instantly my smile grows as I grab a zip up jacket from my suitcase, knowing it is cold outside, before putting on my trainers as Harley gets her phone and wallet. We quietly make our way downstairs after Harley grabs a spare small towel for me as I get my phone and follow behind her. She grabs some bottles of water from the kitchen as I grab us a banana each to eat on the way, then we both leave the house together to start our walk towards the gym nearby.

"Oh shit.." I whisper under my breath as I see Harley take her hoodie off, leaving her in some shorts and a tank top. She already looks so good, and she hasn't even done anything yet. "Your drooling baby." Harley teases back behind her shoulder as she closes her locker and comes to hand me a bottle of water. "Can you blame me? How am I supposed to concentrate when your looking like that.." I gesture to her body, making her chuckle as her cheeks blush slightly. "You'll just have to keep your eyes to yourself." She replies quietly, even though there isn't anyone else around us right now since it is early. "Impossible.." I whisper, leaning up on my tip toes to peck her lips quickly before walking off towards the gym. I can feel Harley's eyes on me as I slowly walk ahead of her, making me blush under her gaze. She soon catches up to me, nipping my sides as she does making me jump and giggle as we step into the huge gym. Music already playing pretty loudly for the few people scattered around, mostly men. Normally I would feel uncomfortable with no other women around, but looking to my right I see Harley and instantly my nerves disappear. I know I am safe with her. "What's your usual routine baby?" Harley asks, snapping me from my thoughts as we subconciously walk over to the treadmills. "It varies, I usually have a PT to tell me what to do depending on what I am training for." I explain and Harley nods her head and hums as we stop at the line of 5 treadmills. "Well how about I be your PT for the day? You just tell me what you want to do." Harley offers with a smile, instantly making my heart race at the thought of working out with her. "You'd do that for me? Even though I have crashed your routine?" I joke and she quickly shakes her head as she laughs before setting up two treadmills for us. "I'd love too. So, let's start with a warm up run." I nod my head as she holds her hand out to help me onto the treadmill on the end of the row before she gets onto the one next to me. Today is going to be a good day..

After our warm up run, or should I say my jog and Harley's run, we come off and Harley turns to me with slightly red cheeks and a huge smile. She really is in her element being in the gym. I wish I had come with her sooner. "Right, so what are you used too baby? I don't want to push you too much.." Harley asks as she takes a sip of water. I smile at her caring side shinning through as I take a look around before turning back to give her my full attention. "Well, usually for Wanda they just want me in good shape for the character. As well as having a strong core for when I am up on the harnesses." I explain as best I can, and she seems to understand as she looks around and seems to be planning out what we can do together in her head. Her gorgeous deep brown eyes flickering between each machine. Fuck she is really is stunning in every way possible. "We can do a core day.. Mixed in with a bit of strength work. Up for the challenge Olsen?" She teases, and instantly I feel my eyes narrow at her as my competitive nature bubbles. "Ready when you are Soldier." I shoot back, causing her to grin and nod her head in reply. "Alright, let's go." She leads the way around the gym as we take turns on various machines working on our core strength. Every time she sets the weight for me, quickly gauging on what I am capable of. But of course, when it comes to her turn, she pretty much doubles my weight, if not more and still makes it look easy. Fuck I had no idea she was this good. I find myself staring unapologetically when she is working out. I mean, she is my girlfriend, I'm allowed to stare, right? As we move on from one machine to the next, I can feel my body getting more and more tired. I deffinently need to start doing this more often. Who knows, maybe I can join Harley on a morning a couple of times a week when we are in the same Country. I would have no problem getting out of bed every morning if I get to watch her like this..

"I think my body is about to give in.." I finally give in to my burning muscles, my competitive side dwindling as I drop the kettle bell on the floor between my feet. "That's alright baby, you've done amazing! I'm so proud of you." Harley quickly comes to my side, kissing my cheek as she rubs her hand up and down my back. I can feel how on fire my cheeks are as I stand and catch my breath. "Here, make sure you have a drink.." Harley hands me my bottle of water, which I thank her for before taking some sips. "I don't mind if you want to do some more Harley.. I'll just sit and watch you." I tell her and she soon chuckles and nods her head, not even looking out of breath one bit. "I'm sure you will.. Are you sure you don't mind?" She checks but I wave her off and finally stand up properly now my breathing is coming back to normal. "I'm sure Soldier." I assure her so we move over to the weights section of the gym. I take Harley's water and find a free seat not too far away as Harley sets up a weight bench to use. My eyes stay fixed on her as she lifts some incredible weights, almost as much as I see the guys from the Marvel set lift. I feel my phone buzz in my pocket, pulling my eyes away from Harley as she moves to the dumbbells and picks out some huge ones. As I check my messages, I see some e-mails from my team. I open one and see that they want me to post some things on Social Media, since I haven't been massively active recently. I send a quick reply, letting them know I will try my best before looking up and finding Harley on the pull-up bar. I swear I forget how to breathe as I watch her incredibly toned arms on show lifting her own body weight with ease. That body of hers should come with a warning I swear! I decide on getting a closer look, walking over to where she is still on the pull up bar, leaning against the side of it as my eyes stay glued on Harley. "28.. 29... 30." Harley catches sight of me, instantly she chuckles as she looks down, still hanging from the bar slightly out of breath.

"Show off.." I tease as she hangs by one hand, reaching for me with her free hand but I quickly lean away playfully pushing her away. She eventually drops down and comes to pull me into her hot and sweaty body, instantly I cringe a little before we both laugh as she lifts me slightly and kisses up my neck. "Stop it! Your all sweaty!" I whine and she just laughs and drops me back to my feet, tugging at my top playfully. "So are you baby.." She teases and instantly I slap her arm away playfully as I can't help but giggle at her antics. "Come here and take a picture with me, my team wants me active again on Instagram and I want to show you off." I tease, pulling the front of her tank top towards the big mirrors. She follows my lead easily as she just laughs before I stop us just infront of the mirrors and pull up the camera on my phone. "Where do you want me baby?" She whispers in my ear, making me freeze slightly before I snap myself from my intrusive thoughts and look through the mirror and see Harley's teasing grin as she is already looking back at me. "Just stand and look pretty Soldier." I tell her playfully, making her burst out laughing before I lift my phone up to start taking pictures. As soon as the first flash goes off, Harley starts to show off her muscles, posing beside me. I get a few pictures before she takes my phone and gets me to join in, so we both end up posing and laughing together. God I love this girl. "Okay that's enough Poser!" I tease, taking back my phone. "Come on then, let's go home, I need a shower." Harley complains making me giggle as we grab our stuff and head for the lockers. Harley grabs her bag and hoodie after handing me my jacket. As we are leaving, she is still in just her tank top and shorts, even when we walk outside, she doesn't flinch at the cold. "Are you not cold?" I ask in surprise, and she just shakes her head chuckling softly as she reaches for my free hand with her bag in other hand. "I never am after my workout." She replies and I just shake my head in disbelief. "You Brits are built different." I joke and she just laughs and leans over, kissing my temple before we take a gentle walk home together.

I don't miss the opportunity to pull Harley into my shower when we get back. And after a little extra workout, we get washed and come out to get dressed, knowing Stuart and Maisie will be up having breakfast any minute before they head off to School and Work. I get ready into some sweats and a hoodie, Harley doing the same before I sit on the bed to wait for Harley as she talks with Charlie. I offered to go downstairs but she quickly pulled me onto the bed with her, telling me it was okay before she answered the phone. So I decide on picking a picture to post on Instagram whilst I wait, not wanting to listen in on Harley's conversation. I have my phone up above my head as I am lying back on Harley's stomach since she is lying across the bed. I go through the pictures we took at the gym, laughing at Harley's poses before I find my favourite. I am standing with my arm tensed up as Harley is standing beside me, her arm in the same position as her other is lifting her tank top up to show off her abs. We are both grinning into the mirror with matching red cheeks and messy hair. I don't have to do much to the picture, but I decide on a filter and crop out some of the background before tagging the gym and Harley and then moving to write a caption. I quickly decide on one and type it out, pressing post with a huge smile on my face just as I hear Harley coming off the phone. I hear her phone alerting her to my post, so I turn around and lean on my arm to see her reaction. Instantly her lips pull into a smirk as she glances between me and her phone screen. "Hottest PT in London hm? I like the sound of that." She teases, quoting what I put as the caption on the post before she lifts me up onto her body after dropping her phone to one side. "My hot PT. No one else's, just mine." I tease back playfully, making her grin as she flickers her eyes between my own. "Sounds good to me Elizabeth Chase.." She whispers, ghosting my lips. My cheeks heating up instantly at her words. "You are such a tease Harley Lane." I warn her playfully, making her laugh lightly before I lean down and connect our lips in a soft, passionate kiss.

Days like this couldn't be anymore perfect..
