Case Closed (Hariana | H.S & A.G)

Part 10: Your Touch

"So, long time no see, what's up, how have you been?" he asks as I smile and sit on the couch, to be completely honest I've been struggling a bit but I don't want to tell him that, at least not now, and probably never to the extent that it happened. I mean I've learned from it and moved on so I don't see the need to tell him and have him feel sorry for me or treat me differently.

"Oh well uhm, let's see I've gone grocery shopping, watched some movies, took a walk and flew to LA" I say casually as if he and I haven't been broken up for 3 months now. "What about you?" I ask as I twirl my hair and pretend to look uninterested.

"Weird, I did pretty much the same thing" he says as he sits beside me and I move to sit on his lap as he wraps his arm around me, everything about this is so comfortable and comes so easily.

"Glad we got the chance to catch up" I say in a serious tone as I brush my hands through his hair and he begins to laugh which makes me laugh, since if feels so good to make him laugh and see him happy.

"Alright, seriously" Harry says trying to stop smiling as much as he playfully grabs my hand out of his hair and tries to get me to focus, "what have you been up too?" he asks and I try to smile even though I just want to completely avoid this conversation. I mean I know it's unrealistic but I want to pull it off for now, until I'm mentally ready to tell him.

"I don't know, I mean working, at first, till the season ended" I admit, referring to SNL, "then I kind took the summer off, running marathons, and climbing mountains, you know my usual hobbies" I say as an obvious joke since I hate exercise and any physical challenge. I watch as Harry lets out a small laugh and I know that this isn't enough to let me off the hook, if anything is gonna start worrying him so I decide to just be honest. "I mean obviously I did some things in between marathons but uh- I- I don't wanna talk about it right now, I will tell you, I just can't right now" I say truthfully.

"Alright, sure that's fine babe" he says and I can't help but smile as I'm reminded of how sweet and caring he is too me and also at the way it sounds when he calls me 'babe.' I also can't tell if Harry realizes I'm referring to Ricky but I'm sure he has questions about him.

"Thanks, what about you?" I ask, "how was filming your first movie? Are you still shooting?" I ask since I really don't know much about the film, I saw a few photos but I tried to avoid looking at them since I didn't want to think about Harry.

"Yea, I just finished filming last week, it was weird more intense then I expected. You were right" he says, referring to the fact that I constantly teased him about how much work it would require physically to act in the movie plus all the rehearsing and filming there would be. I listen as he fills me in on how it was to film the movie and stay in the hotel focusing pretty much on filming and preparing for the part, not focusing on music as all. I hate how he's able to be so honest and after all that's happened to me all I could tell him was that I worked for a bit and now I'm on a break.

"Have you gotten back to making any music yet?" I ask as I once again run my fingers through his hair.

"Not yet, I definitely plan on going back to it soon when I get the chance but I kinda wanna take a break from everything and not dive right in right now" he admits and I nod my head. I'm glad we'll both be taking a bit of a break right now so we can focus on ourselves and our relationship. "How long are you in town for?" he asks.

"Till the day after tomorrow, I have a little lunch date, don't get jealous, with Judd Apatow and then I'm flying back out the next morning. Or at least, I have a ticket for a flight out then, I have no problem staying here if that's what you were planning on" I admit.

"I mean I was gonna fly back to England this afternoon, that's kinda why I came by so early this morning, sorry about that, although it did work out" Harry rambles which makes me giggle. "But I can stay, I mean I want to stay here until you go, we can fly back to New York though since I know how much you hate LA" he says and I can't help but smile as I give him a small kiss.
