Destined To Be

Chapter 25

"Welcome." Harry says out loud as we enter his penthouse in New York.

Yes. A bloody penthouse in New York.

And it's fabulous. Everything looks posh, from the grey coloured sofa set opposite to the brick fireplace right in front of it. The tiles are lightish grey and go perfectly with he furniture around. The windows are full lenght with a striking view of the twinkling New York skyline.

"We've got two bedrooms and a kitchen upstairs." Harry mentions as we walk around the living room.

"This is beautiful." I compliment looking at the skyline that I could never get tired of seeing.

"Yeah, well, that's what the money is for." Harry chuckles.

"Uncle Harry, your house is beautiful." Rose compliments as she runs around the sofa.

"Be careful." Harry warns, "Let's get you all settled in." He adds as he motions his head towards the minimalistic wooden staircase on the far right of this huge living room.

Rose comes to me and holds my hand, and together, we start walking up the stairs behind Harry, who is carrying our duffle bags.

Once we reach the landing, Harry says, "These are the two bedrooms." He points to the adjacent doors, "That's the kitchen." He points to the door straight ahead in the corridor, "And that's my office." He says.

"Lovely." I smile.

"Rose, you can sleep here." He opens the first door. And it's a quaint yet modern looking room. With a queen sized bed, a cupboard, and a door on the right, which I'm assuming is the attached bathroom. It has no windows.

Rose runs into the room and jumps on the bed, "Be careful now." I say, and she nods her head while still jumping.

"This is our room." Harry smiles at me as we exit Rose's room.

He opens the door of the adjacent room, and I'm in awe. It's a master bedroom with the same view fantastic view. The king-sized bed looking magnificent.

"This is so beautiful." I tell in awe as I walk into the room.

"Yeah, I know." He simply says as he opens a door and walks in. I peep in and gape.

It's a bathroom with a walk-in closet. Harry places the duffle bags on a table in the middle of the huge ass closet, which is not empty. He does have some clothes on the hangars.

"You'll be safe here." Harry states as he walks back over to me and kisses the top of my head. I inhale deeply, his scent intoxicating as ever.

"Safe from all the emotional drama?" I sigh as I wrap my arms around his broad shoulders.

"Emotionally and physically." He states as he holds me at shoulders length, "I've hired 5 security guards, who live in the quarters. You'll find them in the room right outside the main door. I've requested and gained access to the security cameras of the entire building from the owners and the security team keeps an eye 24/7."

"Wow." I widen my eyes, "Thanks Harry." I smile, lean forward to peck his lips.

"Anything to keep you and Rose safe." He pecks my lips this time.

"I love you, Harry." I say, looking into his eyes that are piercing into mine.

"I love you more, baby." He says, his voice in a low tone.

But just then, Rose bursts into the room, and we pull away, "I'm hungry!" She whines, making us both chuckle. 

"There's a good burger joint closeby. I'll order from there." Harry says as he pulls his phone out of his pockets and starts typing away whilst walking out of the room.
