Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it. - Justin Timberlake

"How hard is it to just hang a bunch of light" he yelled rolling his eyes

"Way harder than it looks" I replied trying to untangle the Christmas lights from my hair, and I honestly don't know how it happened.

Harry decided that a good way to get me to love Christmas is for me to hang the lights by myself, so here I was trying to hang the Christmas lights in the cold by myself while Harry sat down on a chair he had brought outside sipping  tea I mean who the heck drinks tea, I was both pissed and frozen and the fact that he kept yelling at me didn't help much.

"Finally i'm done" I said looking down from the ladder and smiling at him.

"No your not you did a horrible job" he said rolling his eyes for the hundredth time

"Haz come on, it's good enough" i whined, and it was as though something clicked and he zoned off for a moment.

"okay fine, it's good" he said standing up from the chair.

Just as I was about coming down I heard something snap, and before I could register what was happening there was a broken ladder laying on the ground and I was hanging in mid air holding on to a window seal.

"Holy shit" Harry yelled

"oh my God I never thought I would die this way, I never really got to accomplish much in life, I always thought I would grow old have kids maybe a girl and a boy and maybe name them unicorns and feathers, I love feathers they are actually really good for tickling and unicorns are like really magical and sooo beautiful.... "

"Shut the fuck up" Harry groaned
"Stop babbling and let go of the seal" he yelled

My eye balls nearly popped out of my eye sockets.
" no thanks am good up here" I nervously said

" you can't stay there, your eventually going to get tired of hanging there or your going freeze, either ways your gonna end up dead" he said obviously very annoyed

"Nice pep talk" I replied

"Carter just let go, I'll catch you I promise" he said calmly and something about his voice had me convinced and I let go with my eyes closed and I felt myself drop and soon I felt Harry's warm arms around me.

"Thanks" I whispered, he set me down and we both strolled back into the house like I wasn't just facing death a minute ago.
Harry had gone to study to get some work done, I was really bored so I decided to pay him a visit, I grabbed a pack of my favorite chocolate I had bought earlier from the store and climbed up the stairs and stood in front of his study held my breath and knocked on the door.

Harry's POV

"Come in" I murmured, the door opened and a curious Carter walked in, she took her time to study her surrounding, I looked up from the piles of paper work I had on my table and stared at her waiting for her to tell me why she was here.

"Erm I thought maybe you needed a break so I brought chocolates so we could have together" she said stuttering

"No thanks " I replied bluntly
"Oh" she nodded and I couldn't help but notice how her beautiful face dropped

"Okay fine I guess I need a break" I sighed

She smiled looking excited as she sat down in front of me and moved some of the papers to create space she then places a box of chocolates one the table and said

"Okay these are my favourite chocolates and form what I remember I've loved them since I was a little girl" she paused and stared at my expression and smiled she then opened the box of chocolates and continued talking

"each piece look exactly alike but they all have different taste so it's really fun to eat them cause your never sure of how it's gonna taste...wanna give it a try" she asked me

I nodded and reached for a piece, I took a bite

"caramel" I said smiling and she smiled back, I then fed her the rest.
She then took a piece from the box and took a bite and nodded and she fed me the rest of her piece and immediately I began to chew it I spat it out and she handed me a napkin and began to laugh.

"oh my God you should have seen the look on your face" she said still clutching her stomach

" how on earth do you like the taste of this" I said still using the napkin to scrub my tongue

" I don't but it was worth it just to see the look on your face" she replied giggling.....

I stared into those warm blue eyes the eyes of someone I once loved ...............
