About an hour or two later when I'm in bed and relaxed I hear someone knock on the door. I know it's Harry because he opens it with the key and comes in. When he enters my bedroom I roll my eyes.

"I need to hide the key in a different spot," I say. I get out of bed and go into the bathroom. I wash my face and take off my make up. While I'm doing so Harry enters the bathroom. He looks like a lost puppy begging for forgiveness, yet he still hasn't apologized. I rinse and spit in the sink and walk out of the bathroom as if he isn't there. He followed me outside to my bed and stands before me.

"You're blocking my light," I say. I try and turn the page but he snatches the book out of my hand.

"I'm sorry," he says.

"Yeah," I say uninterested.

"I should have defended you-"

"Damn right you should have Harry. You just sat there like nothing was happening while your father degraded and talked badly about me," I yell. "How could you do that?"

"I know I'm so sorry baby, but I don't know what to do when I get around him. I just-"

"You turn into his little minion and do as he says. He treats you like a employee and a child all at once, and I'm disappointed that you let him do that to you. But I'm even more upset that you allowed him to do it to me," I admit.

"I'm so sorry baby. I just really need to make him happy until I'm twenty one next year and my grandpa's business becomes mine," he tells me.

"Well you should tell me these things Harry instead of letting me walk into the Devils lair," I say.

"I know I can't tell you how sorry I am," he says.

"Stop apologizing. I have to work in the morning so I'll see you tomorrow," I say.

"You don't want me to stay?" He asks shocked.

"Not tonight I need some space. You really upset me today Haz," I admit.

"You're right I'll go, but only if I get a goodbye kiss," he says.

"Absolutely not."

"Come on

"No Harry," I say.

"Just on the cheek. Please," he begs and puckers his lip. I give in and lean to kiss his cheek. Harry quickly turns his head to capture my lips with his. I try to pull away but I don't really want to so I stay. He pulls away and rests his forehead against mine.

"I have a surprise for you this weekend," he tells me.

"You know I hate surprises," I say. 

"Well you are going to love this one," he tells me. He pulls away and grabs his coat.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"I'm going home for tonight."

"But we kissed I thought you would stay," I say slightly hurt.

"Baby you just asked me to leave so I'm going to give you your space I'll come see you in the morning okay," he says. He pecks my lips once more and leaves. I hear the front door lock and him close it. Then I lay in bed and fall asleep for the first time with out Harry next to me.

"I want you to run the studio by yourself today," my boss at the art school says.

"Really," I say confused.
