Aphrodite // H.S. (Mature)

A/n - I'm back and this probably sucks, I'll try and make future chapters better!

Harry's Washington trip is coming up soon and I can't say I'm all that excited for Joan to be going along but I can't do anything about it. It's not that I think anything will happen, I just don't want her to try and make anything happen. Hopefully after what I did when we left the movies the other night sent a message to tell her to fuck off. I doubt it though. I'm with him just about anywhere we go and she still tries to be with him.

Harry and I are currently in his room choosing which clothes to pack for his trip. He's doing the packing and folding, I'm doing the choosing. Since a good percentage of his jeans are black I picked out five black pairs and two regular. All he ever wears to work is black jeans and dress shirts since they're not strict with their dress code.

"What are you going to do on your time off out there?" I asked since we haven't really talked about it. "I don't know yet. If I'm not too tired I'll probably do some sight seeing." He answered. "That sounds fun. I wish I could go with you." I tell him. "I know, and I wish you could come but I'd be busy just about the whole time and besides, you've got school." He says facing me and wrapping an arm around my shoulders. "I can't wait to just graduate already." I sigh. "Me too because then you can be over here everyday."

"Yeah but you'll still have work."

"So?"

"And I can't just ditch my mom and dad."

"You're not ditching them, you're just getting a head start to living away from them."

"So I'll be living here?"

"Well-I mean no. But kind of. It wouldn't be like, official but you'd be here all the time. And I'd give you another drawer or something."

"That's basically living here."

"Okay, sure. You'd pretty much live here."

"And what happens if Lauren stops over unexpectedly or even your parents?"

"I don't know. Hide?"

"I hate having to keep this a secret"

"Me too baby."

I go back to picking out clothes for him and he goes back to folding. We didn't say anything to each other for a while but I didn't mind. The only thing I was thinking about right now though, was what it'd be like if we didn't keep our relationship a secret. We could go out and not have to worry about who sees us and actually act coupley in front of Lauren and I could actually talk to Lauren about him. Not that I would be saying shit like what she says to me about Eric but it'd be nice to say I was going to hang out with Harry. Not Henry or Lucas or any other guy made up or not. It'd be nice.

"What do you think about this? I wanna take it in case I go out or something." I turn to look at him to see him with a completely see through shirt on. "What? You can't wear that." I say sounding too controlling. "Why not?" He raises an eyebrow and puts his hands on his hips. "You might as well not even wear a shirt if you're going to wear that. I wouldn't mind if I was with you when you wore it but I don't think I'd like if you wore that without me around." I answer honestly. "And whys that?" He questions even though he probably knows why. "Because I don't want people to like, you know, be all over you." I say quietly.

"Do you not trust me?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, It's other people I don't trust. Like Joan for example."
