Not Alone For Long

Chapter 17

Cat's POV

The car ride home was silent. I was feeling a bit better by which I mean I wasn't bleding anymore and I didn't feel the need to pass out when I sat up. Yet Harry stillpicked me up out of the car despite my protests.

"Harry I'm fine now please just let me and Jen go home," I pouted, Jen held the bottom of my shirt as I crossed my arms.

"Sorry, but I still don't want you to be alone. You might have gotten a concusion and I don't want to take the risk and that's final. Now, if you wouldn't mind, I will show you to the apartment," Before I could object he turned on his heels and began to walk. Assuming that I was behind him, but I stood my ground.

"You leave me no choice," He turned and walked toward me. Picking me up with ease and throwing my over his shoulder as he held out his hand for Jen who was holding hands with Gemma. Both were giggling while I pounded my fists against Harry's back.

"If I really have a concusion than this isn't helping me at all!" I hollard although I did find this some what amusing.

"I told you, you left me no choice," He smiled. Well I couldn't see his smile but I assumed he was by his tone. And that's when I saw his keys in his back pocket. If I could get them I could drive home. I know what you're thinking... Why not just spend the night? It can't be that bad? Right? Well truth be told, since my mom died I have never spent a night outside the apartment. That was her home and I felt like when I was there I was with her. So yes in all honesty I would take his keys and his car just to get home.

I slowly brought my left hand down while I used my right hand to prop myself up a bit to be able to see what I was doing. We were making our way up stairs now so I guess he wouldn't notice if I reached. Ijust had my hands around the keys when Harry swiflty put me down. Luckily, that's what I needed inorder to get the keys our of his pocket.

"Cat, I felt your hand now either you were being playful, which I don't mind love," He smirked which caused me to smack his arm, "Or you took my keys," Well fuck he was good. " I need them to open the door," He frowned but it didn't last long as I glanced down at the keys then back at him with a smirk.

"And what if I don't?" I crossed my arms and gave him a playful glare. I do realize that all four of us were standing in the middle of the hallway, outside what I pressumed was Harry's place, but well I didn't really care. I wanted to get home, I mean my actual home.

"Don't be difficult," He laughed as he made his way toward me. I squealed as he attempted to grab the keys but I quickly ran to the other side of the hallway. Of course it was a dead end but it was either that or run to the stairs and elevator on the other side of him which meant that I had to walk by him. Anyway, he grew closer to me which caused me to panic a little, not actual panic but the kind where you play a game like tag and you know the person who is "it" is going to get you.

"Cat," he warned. Luckily, the girls were just staying in place and watching so I could focus on what Harry was about to do, which surprised me. Well surprised me was an under statement. I closed the disatnce between us and quickly but gently pressed his body against mine so that I was pinned against the wall. My hands were above my head and I could feel Harry's heartbeat against my own chest. He starred at me with a smirk as he collected the keys from my hand and took about four steps back, allowing me to catch the breath that I was holding or not holding I should say. My skin burned and I could feel my cheeks heating as if I stood right next to a fire.

"Well now that that's settled why don't we go inside. My mum called me and told me that she was working late again so she probably won't be home until tomorrow morning which in turn means that you can stay without getting pestered," He lightly chuckled while the door clicked, telling us that we were free to come in. "I have to go get our stuff from my car so I am hoping- no praying that you will stay put long enough for me to do so, yeah?" We all walked inside and Gemma instantly dragged Jen up to what i suspected was her room. "Make yourself at home," I turned around while Harry winked and left.

The place was no where near what I imagined, It was way more beautiful. It smetlt of warm vanilla and the walls were decorated with beautiful paintings along with adorable family pictures. The kitchen was open to my right and the living room was layed out in front of me. Black leather sofas complemented the white rug along with the stong fire place. Wait they have a fire place in an apartment? Is that legal? Anyway a tv stood to the right of the fire place. I turned and made my way to the kitchen. Granite counter tops were held up by beautiful cheery wood cabniets. An island sat idly in the middle of the large room with a vase full of beautiful flowers on top. A dinning room attached itself to the kitchen with a long table and chairs made out of the same wood as the cabinets. This place made my apartment look like the slums. Note to self, don't every have Harry over.

"Nice isn't it," That husky voice brought me from my thoughts with a jump. Doesn't he know not to sneak up on people? "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you,our stuffs in the living room and I was thinking of making dinner soon," We walked toward me and smiled.

"I can help, whart do you wanna make?" I did enjoy cooking even though I was shit at it. Better leave that part out if he asks.

"Sure I was thinkng we could start now,I have all the stuff to make pizza with. If you want to give that a go?" And with that I smiled and walked into the kitchen.

Before no time, the counter tops were littered with baking supplys. Harry was currently kneedingthe dough while I stirred the sauce. Luckily, all I had to do was mix this little pack of spices with water and other ingrediants like tomato paste and Wa La! I made sauce! I was just about to finish and turn around when flour was thrown in my face, blinding me momentarily.

"You did not just do that," I warned as Harry grabbed his sides from laughing. Before he had time to speak, a nice big glob of red sauce was flung directly at his face. Hitting his left cheek. It was my turn to laugh like a lunatic now.

In about two minutes we were able to throw every edible thing in the kitchen at eachother. When we ran out of pizza supplys (don't worry we left enough to make dinner), we turned to the fridge and literally grabbed anything. I was currently holding a bottle of ketchup while Harry held the carton of eggs. We stood on either side of the island, waiting for the first person to make a move which would start the war that had momentarily ceased. Harry was about to throw an egg while I ducked only to pop up again and spray his shirt with bright red ketchup. Well that was going to stain! He took the opporunity to run up to me and smash an egg against the top of my head. I honestly didn't care because both of us were laughing so hard. Harry had mustard stains along with ketchup, jelly and sauce stains on his shirt, while hi face held flour sauce and parts of egg. I on the other hand was covered in egg, flour, cooking oil and some spray cheese that Harry found in the back of his fridge.

"Well that was fun,"Harry laughed as he walked over to me,"Truce?" He held out his hand but I pulled him into a hug.

"Truce."
