Forty Nine.

Celine

"So you are going to see Harry?" She asked, playing with my hair.

"Yeah," I sighed, moving to lay back on the bed that we were on.

"So you talked?"

"Yup."

"Bad talk or good talk?" I could tell she had one eyebrow raised and her lips were skewed to the side. I turned to see her and sure enough...

"Good talk, talk about us, and what we want." I rolled over so my head was in her lap. "We didn't exactly finish so hopefully when we get there it has a good ending." I say looking up at her.

"No," She shook her head. "I hope it doesn't end." She spoke, making me smile.

"You're right. Neither do I."

The flight was mercilessly long since I was far too anxious to sleep.

"Is he picking us up here?" She asked.

"No, we're going to take a cab to a parking garage on fourth and Main." I told her, lifting my arm, waving at one of the drivers. "He'll pick us up from there." I said.

"Keeping it low key." She nodded, agreeing.

"Morning ladies." The man got out to open our doors and take our bags.

"Good morning, thank you." I told him letting Liana in first.

"Where you heading?" He asked as he was situated in his seat.

"The Matte's parking garage on fourth." I answered.

"Have you come in from America?" He asked.

"Yeah, Texas." Liana told him.

"That's a long flight, I'm sorry." He laughed.

We made conversation with the driver and paid him with a tip for helping us with our bags. We took the elevator up to the fifth floor.

"What kind of car does he drive?" Celine asked.

"He's in a black Benz." I recalled from the text.

"Isn't that like-"

"My dream car? Yes."I sighed.

Harry

I kept watching the elevator doors and stairway door. Businessman after businessman, but no Celine. I was worried she wasn't coming until I heard an echoed feminine laugh. I could see her and her sister walking around the middle row of cars.

Liana was laughing at her. Her.

Celine.

She looked gorgeous. She always did, but I was shocked.

I had to clear my throat and remind myself to get out of the car to greet them.

I pushed my door open, and climbed out.

"There he is." Liana mused.

"It's not like I could miss him, or his car." Celine gushed. I looked down at the black Benz. My newest.

I looked up, meeting her eyes.

Neither of us smiled, we just looked at each other. I looked at Liana and smiled, then took their bags to the trunk. I shut it, making her turn towards me.

I stepped forward, and slid my arms under hers, around her waist.

Celine

His face fell onto my shoulder, and in my neck. My arms moved around his shoulders, squeezing him.

We kept it short, maintaining the minimal awkwardness for Liana.

"So are we going to a hotel or-"

"No, no. We're going to my place first so you girls can rest then we will visit my mum. She's thrilled to meet you." He cleared his throat.

"Sounds good. Li, you want the front or back?" I asked.

"I'll give you the front, I know you're dying to see it." She grinned, slapping my arm, lightly.

I moved around to the other side of the car as Harry opened the door for my sister. I sat and pulled my seatbelt on, admiring the matte black interior.

"Is this the c63?" I asked.

"Yeah, Black series." He looked over at me, starting it.

"This is my dream car." I breathed, sitting forward and looking at his console and stereo.

"Really?" He chuckled. "Great taste. It runs so smooth."

We drove in silence. Once in a while Liana and Harry would speak to one another, but not me. Which was good, because I was wonder struck by this car.

Harry pulled off of the main street, driving down a road and slowing to a stop. He hit a button of the mirror, making a gate open.

"This your place?" I asked.

"Yeah, have you been looking for a house?" He asked.

"No, I uh- haven't had the time." I tried speaking low so Liana wouldn't question me. Harry pulled in, hit the button, hit another then one of the garages opened. He parked in it.

I got out, then Liana and Harry grabbed our things.

"Would you grab my keys, the one on the single ring is the one for the door." He told me, jutting his hip out to me.

I hesitated and hooked my finger in his pocket, grabbing the key ring. I opened the door for him, then followed he and Liana.

"I have two empty rooms, if you want to share." He said, moving through the kitchen then up some stairs.

"Let's not share." Liana laughed.

"Fine by me. I have to share a bus with six people." I shook my head.

"Well then." He stopped at the first two doors. "Here you are. There's a conjoined bathroom between the two, or one over here. My room is at the end of the hall." He said, setting our bags down.

"Okay, I'm gonna change..." Li muttered, pushing her door open. As it shut I picked my bag up.

"What time are we going to your moms?" I asked.

"We'll leave at seven." He said.

"Okay, give me a minute." I sighed.

I walked into my room and put my bag down then moved through the bathroom to Liana's room. "We have two hours before we leave." I told her.

"Good I'm gonna sleep." She told me.I nodded and walked out, seeing Harry looking at me.

"Do you... Have some coffee?" I asked. He glanced at my sisters room. "She's gonna nap."

He nodded and started down the stairs, letting me follow him.

"So, how are the girls?" He asked, making a pot of coffee. I smiled and leaned on his counter.

"Good." I chirped. He turned to look at me and grinned.

"Now that you're with me... What do you want?" He asked me again, leaning opposite me on his counter.

The coffee pot hissed.

"I want another hug." I muttered.

He raised his eyebrows, moving around the island. I pushed off the granite, lifting my arms around his neck, his around my back. We stayed like that and he turned, so his back was against the table.

"What else?"

I looked up, moving my hand to stroke his stubbly jaw with my thumb. I laid my head on his chest as an answer. He placed a kiss on my hair.
