Chapter 28: Reconnect

Harry's POV;

I kept the fact that I'd be back a week early from tour a secret because I thought I'd surprise Emma.

I wanted to spend the evening with her, just us two, laughing and talking about everything that happened while I was away.

Sadly, her car was in the driveway when I pulled up meaning she was home already.

I figured she would still be at work by the time I made it home, but I guess not.

So much for the surprise, huh?

"Emma?" I shouted as I opened the front door.

There was no response.

"Love, you home?" I yelled as I shut the door behind me.

Again, there was no response.

I dropped my suitcase down by the door, and noticed her heels were right there too. She has to be home. Maybe she's upstairs?

Halfway up the stairs I heard subtle music coming from the bathroom.

"Baby?" I whispered from outside the door, but she didn't say anything.

I guess she was lost in the music or something.

I slowly pushed the door open and noticed that the bathroom was lit with candles. There was Emma relaxing in the tub filled with nothing but bubbles.

Her eyes were shut, and her foot was sitting on the edge of the bathtub, tempting me.

I smirked as a sudden idea came to mind.

Quietly, I bent down to the floor on my hands and knees and slowly crawled forward.

I tried not to laugh as I ducked my head down low so she still wouldn't see me if she opened her eyes.

I wanted a surprise, and I'm sure this would catch her off guard.

I raised my hand up and grabbed her foot, gently tugging on it.

"OH MY GOD!" Emma screamed at the top of her lungs before she chucked a shampoo bottle my way.

I bursted out laughing, as I felt it hit my arm.

"HARRY?!" Emma yelled with shock and anger, "W-what are you...." she was at a loss for words as I grinned at her.

She definitely wasn't expecting me.

I couldn't help but admire the way she pouted and knit her eyebrows together. she was so cute when she was angry.

God, I missed her so much.

She suddenly leaned forward and threw herself at me, engulfing me in a hug,"Why would you scare me like that?!"

I chuckled, "Sorry love, I just wanted to surprise you since I'm back a week early."

I wrapped my arms around her wet body, clinging her to me,

"Im so happy that you're home, but you almost gave me a heart attack! I thought you were a killer or something," Em said, snuggling her head against my shoulder.

I laughed hard at that, "Yeah and throwing a shampoo bottle at a killer will surely drive them away Emma."

She loosened her grip from my neck and tried to break free from my embrace to hit me, but I held her tight, ignoring that glare she had.

I wasn't ready to let go of my baby just yet, not after being apart for long.

Emma playfully smacked my arm, "Yeah well, what else was I supposed to use! I don't exactly have a metal bat with me!"
