Aurora had fell asleep. Naked. She cried on Harry for what seemed an eternity and he didn't even realize when Aurora had fell asleep. She had the towel still wrapped around her and he removed it knowing she wouldn't sleep comfortable especially cause it was damp. He had seen Aurora naked many times before so of course it wasn't like he did it purposely. Harry picked her up and adjusted her under the sheets, hopefully she wouldn't notice he had gone to sleep in the guest room. Sleeping with her was something he couldn't do, it would be cheating on Jannes and he was incapable of doing that to her. Though cuddling with Aurora seemed like a comforting idea he still didn't. He stood at the doorway of their old shared bedroom with a bottle of Corona in his hand and studied his sleeping ex who was such an invitation.

"Screw it" he whispered to himself as he put the bottle down and peeled off his shirt to lay down next to Aurora. He wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her into his chest nuzzling his nose in her strawberry scent hair and fell asleep faster then he would sleeping alone. It was hard for him to get good sleep without cuddling with someone and in this case it wasn't about love it was just about wanting to finally sleep well. Her body was warm against his cool skin and he loved how their bodies melted so well together like the old times. He missed this deeply but as stubborn as he was he didn't admit it.

Harry woke up before Aurora did giving him enough time to make a call to Jannes and eat something before work. He was a little surprised when he awoke next to Aurora who was naked in his arms but then remembered shortly it was the liquid courage who had said screw it. It had been so long since he'd seen her bare but seeing her bare again made him almost smile.

He went out to the balcony to call Jannes but she wouldn't pick up no matter how many times he called. He worried that she knew something or might have seen something and it was then when it clicked. He had told her the spare house key was under the flower pot and she probably stopped by late at night as usual since she hadn't received a call from Harry. Before he was about to message her he received a message from her first.

Jannes: we're done.

He was sure she had seen or heard something and he couldn't risk losing her and be left with Aurora. He got his car keys and as he was about to leave he heard the small voice of Aurora at the top of the stairs wearing one of his shirts since her clothes were now gone. "Why are you rushing?" She asked concerned. She rubbed her eyes obviously still tired.

"Work. Aurora go back to bed, doctors orders" he directed her making her chuckle.

"Okay, Doctor Styles" she replied heading back to their room.

Harry violently knocked on Jannes' door after he found that the key under the mat was gone, she probably took it knowing he'd be at her door like this.

"Jannes I know you're in there, open the door!" he shouted hoping she'd hear him.

"Fuck you and fuck her!" She shouted back.

"Please, let me explain-"

"That you're a cheating bastard? I know that already!"

Harry sure as hell wasn't going to look crazy outside her house. He ran to the back door and was thankful she had left it unlocked. He entered her vanilla candle smelling home and found her crying on the couch.

"Jannes, please let-"

"GET OUT!" she stood up and began to hit him with all her force as he stood there letting her let it all out. He never stood there and let Aurora hit him during their fights but that's because he wasn't afraid to lose her and yell at her back.

"Hit me all you want but let me talk" he said with his arms folded over his chest. Jannes pushed him back and crossed her arms.

"Give me your best excuse Harry" she said.
