"i love you."

"i think you love the idea of me."

"no, rose. i love you."

"i love you too, harry."

harry cupped my my face, pulling my lips to meet his and i felt him smile, causing me to as my heart fluttered.

"goodnight, harry."

"goodnight, baby girl."

"rose?"

"mhmm?" i mumbled, opening my eyes with a yawn, being met with harry's bright, amusement-filled eyes watching me, a grin on his plump lips.

"i have work today."

"oh." i sat up.

harry got out of bed and tugged on his jeans and a shirt, and i found myself unable to drag my eyes away from his body.

noticing my stares, harry smirked before coming over to me and placing a delicate kiss to my forehead.

he walked downstairs and i sleepily followed him, still only in one of his shirts, and sat at the counter, just watching him as he moved around.

"here you go." harry grinned, pushing a hot mug of tea into my hands and i thanked him softly, shuffling closer to him as he sat down next to me.

"you can have whatever you want from the fridge, and you can stay here if you like." harry said, grabbing his phone and keys.

"thank you." i smiled.

"i love you."

"ditto."

"i never expected anything that happened yesterday to happen." he kissed me, "but i'm glad it did."

i nodded, "have a good day."

"bye, princess."

we simultaneously smiled and harry left, gently shutting the door behind him.

i sat back down, my eyes suddenly widening as my pupils dilated.

i killed a gang leader yesterday.

no, i wouldn't get arrested, it's not like the two that ran off would call the police, but they would be after me, and in particular, harry.

to be honest, i was terrified for his life, and didn't want to cause him any more trouble, or get him into any more danger.

i hurried up the stairs and pulled my jeans on, left harry's shirt on, picked up my stuff, and left his apartment.

sighing, i unlocked my car, having got drenched from rain in the few, previous seconds i was outside.

allowing tears to slip down my cheeks, the salt water mixed with the rainwater.

'i love you'. i played his softly, happily spoken words over and over in my head and pictured the deep sadness that would fill his glinting eyes when he saw my car gone later.

i sat on the sofa, my face buried in my hands.

i wished yesterday never happened,
but i was so grateful it did, for i found harry, and i loved harry, despite his past, and he loved me, despite my past.

'i love you.' i couldn't stop rose's gentle words playing in my mind as i routinely served customers, offered smiles, and blushed from careless mistakes.

i kept seeing her lips, as they came near to my own and as they were pressed together, before parting as she carelessly dropped the gun, having saved my life.

i sighed, relief washing over me as i walked out of the shop and locked it, heading home, ready to be met with rose's smile and kisses.

but, when i got there, rose's car had disappeared, and she wasn't in my apartment.

i whined, only wanting to snuggle up and cuddle her right now.
