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

Part 15: There's More

Harry's POV

"You don't have to come back to New York with me, I mean I don't want you to drop everything and come with me like you've done the last two days" I hear Ari say.

"It's fine, I want to. I have nothing to do anyways, I'm not dropping anything- unless you know, that makes me sound really romantic, then you know, I'm dropping pretty much my whole life to be with you" I say sarcastically which makes Ariana laugh. She's so adorable, I'm glad to see her smile. I'm pissed about what's happened to her, what kind of man abuses a female like that, especially one who's trying to love them and take care of them like I know Ari does. It's sick and I wish she never had to go through that, I wish I never let her go but I can't erase the past. I just have to help make sure Ari gets the future she deserves.

"Alright" she says with a small smile "by the way, I should warn you, my apartment looks kinda different now, or just emptier. I threw out a lot of stuff. I just kinda wanted a fresh start" she says and I nod my head. She's hiding something from me, or at least she's not telling me everything but I don't care. If she decides to tell me I'll listen but if some things are to personal to tell me I get that too. I mean I don't know what How I Met Your Mother had to do with anything and why it made her so nervous and I'm okay if I never know. I want her to be honest with me and I know she's trying her best, and when I said I wanted the truth I meant I didn't want her to hide any feelings or major events from me and I know that she isn't.

"That's cool" I nod and mentally face palm. Ari didn't want me to treat her differently and I'm feeling myself getting a little awkward. I'm still trying to process everything, while at the same time micro-analyzing everything that I say and do.

Ari and I continue to just lay in bed and watch TV, she looks so at peace and relaxed. If I could I would just freeze us in this moment forever, where nothing or no one can try and tear her down. It's getting kinda late and I know I should be heading out soon, I don't want to leave but I'm sure Ari would be more comfortable if I did. Although since she and I are cuddling in bed right now I'm assuming she's comfortable with us sleeping in the same bed together, maybe she's a bit more nervous of the idea of us having sex and I'll wait as long as she wants. Besides, I have to go back there and get my luggage, I haven't really unpacked much from when I came from London so I don't have much to pack. We're heading back to New York tomorrow, I arranged for a private jet to take us over, Ari really didn't want to since she thinks it's a waste of money but gave in since it's the only way no one will know we're together, or in New York.

"What are you doing?" I ask as Ari pulls me out of my train of thought as she lets out a small groan and begins to shift around on the bed. She's so clearly tired.

"Nothing, I'm just asleep" she mumbles which makes me laugh.

"I guess I should head out" I say but I feel her tighten her arms around me so I give her a confused look. "What?" I chuckle.

"I don't want you to go" she whines which makes me smile. "It's so boring" she adds.

"I have to go though, you want to come with me?" I ask and to my surprise she nods her head. "Alright let's go" I say, I don't know if she'll actually come but I'd love it if she did since I want to spend as much time as I can with her too. I get up off the bed and watch as Ari frowns and a small groan escapes her lips. "Are you coming?" I chuckle and I watch as Ari slowly gets up before looking up at me she closes her eyes for a second before letting out a small laugh.

"Alright! Let's go!" she says as she stretches out her arms and with a sudden burst of energy jumps off her bed. "I'm wide awake" she smiles and so do I as I just shake my head.

"Okay babe" I chuckle as we begin to head out of the bedroom. "Do you want to grab your stuff and check out tonight, or should I drop you back here later?" I ask since I'm not sure if Ari wants to sleepover at my house since she didn't want to spend the night with me yesterday. I watch as she stands there for a second just thinking. She's so beautiful but she looks so weak and tired, I'm worried but I don't know how to address it.
