Past, Present, No Future. (Harry Styles)

42. Slow and Steady

"Hey Liam I just called to tell you that I won't be coming back to your dorm after work" I said into the phone locking the store doors behind me, "I'll be staying at Gen's for a while" I hung up the phone leaving the message.

I tugged at my shorts feeling he cold air hit my skin feeling an arm wrap around my shoulder.

"So are we going to your flat or mine" Harry asked as we continued to walk to the parking lot.

"I don't have a flat, remember?" I laughed.

"I know, that's why the only other option was my flat" he smirked kissing my cheek.

Harry and I seemed to be back on regular levels, even though it was literally just a few minutes ago he came into the store, we needed to talk about what he had said and why he had lied about finding anything that harmed myself.

"Harry" I stopped outside where cars were scattered everywhere in the dark, "Why did you lie?"

"Lie about what?" he asked walking closer to me.

"I don't own any blades and you said you found some, why did you lie about that"

He looked down furrowing his eyebrows, "I told you, I'm not the best person in the world"

"Nobody is...I-I just don't want you to lie to me about that kind of stuff anymore"

"I'm sorry" he choked, breathing in he opened his mouth, "Red" he muttered making me tilt my head in confusion, "Your favorite color is red, and you love cats"

I smiled, "Liam told you"

He shook his head, "I just knew, you never told me, but I knew. What Liam did was tell me your dad's name, Marshall"

I gave him a half smile and nodded, "I appreciate it"

Harry walked over grabbing my chin, "Complete honesty?" he asked touching our foreheads.

"Yes, complete honesty"

"Your boss is a prissy ginger who doesn't know how to shut up" he snickered making me swat at him, "But at least she hired the perfect girl" he leaned down kissing my lips.

Harry rolled over extending his arm around my bare waist, "Make up sex is the best isn't it?" he murmured rubbing his cheek against mine.

"I thought you liked the birthday ones?" I asked giggling.

"Because that's all we've ever had" he chuckled digging his nose in my back leaving small kisses down my spine.

We were interrupted by a ringing phone, "Not my ringtone" he muttered against my skin.

I groaned getting out of the bed and throwing my t-shirt over my head, I sat on the floor searching through my purse for my ringing cell phone, "Hello?"

"Vanessa! Hi! You-"

"I know what you did Gen"

"Did it turn out good or bad" she said anxious for the answer.

"I'm going to go start coffee" Harry muttered getting out of the bed.

"So good!?" Gen exclaimed hearing Harry's voice, "I really am good aren't I?"

"Mischievous is what you are" I giggled.

"Well I wanted to ask if you wanted to come over to my mischievous household?"

I laughed, "It's Saturday, why not?"

We said our goodbyes and I stood up to meet Harry in the kitchen I scrunched up my nose at the sight of dirty plates everywhere.
