Past, Present, No Future. (Harry Styles)

44. New Barriers

Harry's and I's last night in our flat consisted of us packing the last of our things in boxes and shoving them into a corner for the mover guys to load onto their truck.

"That's the last of the plates" I told Harry looking down to him where I stood on the counter top to reach for everything in the top cabinets.

"Okay, now get down before you hurt yourself" he chuckled grabbing my waist as I jumped down.

"Now all we need is is to load everything tomorrow morning" I smiled, "I'm going to miss this place"

"Yeah" he breathed out wrapping one arm around my shoulder, "It's where we had our first time"

"Is that all you think about?" I laughed as he leaned down to peck my lips.

I really was going to miss this flat, but then again too many bad memories happened here like at my old house which was still left abandoned. That's one thing I hope will happen when I move, when we move, I hoped to start all over again and forget the past. But I can't start over without my brother, I won't.

I flopped onto the couch being the only furniture in the living room at the moment until all our new stuff comes in.

"You know Vanessa" Harry said climbing up from behind the couch to join me, "There has to be a way to fill in this space"

"And how do you suppose we do that?" I asked with a giggle sitting up to face him.

He shrugged taking my legs into his lap, "I've always wanted a pet" I told him.

"You've never had a pet? Not even a fish?"

"With a family like mine do you expect me to have a pet?"

He raised his eyebrows at me, "I don't know Vanessa, can we take care of an animal?"

"Please! I'll feed it and take care of it!" I said as if I were a child crawling closer to him.

"What about work? We both work Fridays"

"We can get Gen to pet sit" I suggested.

"What about Liam?"

I looked down, "He's busy with Uni" I answered not wanting to tell Harry that he was partly the reason why Liam and I had the small argument weeks ago, and yet we still haven't talked to each other.

Harry rolled his eyes exhaling, "Do you really want a pet?" he asked strained.

"You said we needed to fill in space!" I defended myself, "But yeah, I do"

"Then we're getting a dog" Harry said at the exact time I had said "Cat"

"I want a cat!" I complained.

"Well I want a dog, imagine having a puppy around"

"Imagine having a kitten around" I fired back giving him a cheeky smile.

He leaned forward puckering his lips, "We're getting a dog" he whispered leading me off.

I glared at him playfully as he got up and went up the stairs of our new house chuckling on his way up.

"But I want a kitty!" I called before he got it upstairs.

"Get your kitty up here!" he called making me roll my eyes and stand up from the couch.

"Let's settle it" I told him lying on the bed of our room, "Rock paper scissors" I held up my fist.

"Two out of three" Harry said when he had lost his first round.
