Chapter 5

I set the last box down at the bottom of the stairs.

“Done,” I breathed a sigh of relief.

“Now, all we have to do is drive to my flat tomorrow night with all these boxes,” Harry pulled me in by my waist and gave me a kiss.

“Want to the mall?” I asked. 

“Yeah, just let me call my security guard. He’s at a nearby hotel,” Harry pulled out his phone and walked into another room. 

While he was gone, I emailed my dad the new plan with three train tickets to London attached.

“He’ll be here in a minute,” Harry walked back in the room and kissed my head.

“I love you,” I buried my face into his chest and he wrapped his arms around me.

“I love you too,” Harry smiled and glanced at his phone. “He’s here.”

I looked out the window and spotted a black escalade at the curb.

“Let’s go,” I slung a purse over my shoulder and walked out the door, Harry’s hand in mine.

He opened the door for me like a gentleman and I slid inside.

“Tara, this is Bob,” Harry introduced me to the guy in the driver’s seat.

“Hi,” he glanced at me in the review mirror.

“Hey,” I smiled.

“You kids do what you want, I won’t listen or look at you. My job is just to protect Harry,” Bob told us.

“Good to know,” Harry kissed me, only pausing to come up for air.

“Alright, we’re here,” Bob told us five minutes later, but Harry continued to kiss me. “LOVER BOY, DID YOU HEAR ME? WE’RE HERE!”

“Sorry,” Harry winked at Bob as we got out of the car.

“Glasses,” Bob ordered and Harry and I slid on our sunglasses. “Perfect. Now I’ll follow you from a distance, but if someone spots Harry I’ll be right over.”

“Great,” Harry took my hand and we walked inside the Grosvenor Centre.

“Where do we start?” I asked.

“Topshop and Topman,” Harry winked. “I want to get you some housewarming gifts.”

We walked into Topshop, and Harry tugged me towards the lingerie section.

“How about you pick out some things and give me a show when you move in?” Harry licked his lips.

“How about I pick up some actual clothes too?” I teased him.

“Yeah, yeah,” he handed me a wad of cash. “Come find me in Topman when you’re done.”

“Okay,” I leaned in to kiss his cheek, but he ducked around it and pressed his lips on mine.

“See you soon,” Harry grinned and went up the escalator. 

I skimmed the bras and held up a satin and lace balcony bra. Harry would love the black lacing so I held on to it. Then I got a strappy satin balcony bra and geometric lace mini set, a lace mix body, a linear lace bralet and ladypant set, and to cover everything up, I got a black, flower mesh slip. I also picked up some clothes, and then I went to a fitting room to try everything on.

Right as I was finishing trying on lingerie, my phone buzzed.

Almost done? xx Harry
