If I.

Fran's POV

After hours of walking around I finally spotted the familiar mop of curls.

"Hey.." I sighed.

His head immediately snapped in my direction, the grin that covered his face was enough to make my heart melt.

"Francis" he stood up from the curb and hurled himself into my arms. "You smell good" he murmured into my neck.

I rolled my eyes, "what are you doing here"

He pulled away and looked at me in confusion.

"I'm here because I love you-"

"Don't" I stopped him. "Why did you follow me?"

He sighed, "I didn't want this to end" he motioned his hand between us.

"I don't know.. What to say" I shook my head.

"Don't say anything, let's just find a place to stay for the night and we'll talk about it tomorrow"

"Who says you can stay?" I narrowed my eyes.

"I did" he smiled before walking away.

"Harry!" I called, "the apartment is that way" I pointed behind me.

"Oh" he laughed, "see, so you do want me to stay"

I rolled my eyes, "just keep walking"

Even though I didn't want to admit it, there was a huge smile on my face.

.........................................................

"You said it was an apartment.. Do you live here?" Harry gasped as he gazed at the tall skyscraper.

Once I made it inside I immediately headed for the elevator.

"Nope, but I know someone who does" I shrugged my shoulders before pressing the button for the 30th floor. "They shouldn't be home"

"Nice." He gulped, "you're going to break in"

I laughed, "gotta live on the wild side sometime"

Harry's eyes widened, "you're being serious? Fran I can easily pay for a hotel-"

"Relax Harold, everything is going to be fine"

The elevator made a ding once we made it to our floor.

..........................................................

"So.. How are you going to get in.. Gonna pick the lock?" Harry said sarcastically.

"Why when there's a key" I smiled as I picked up the key that blended in with the door.
