“Don’t mind the mess, would you like a drink?” I say opening the door. “Yes please” Harry says walking into the lounge “Wow that’s one big collection” I enter from the kitchen to see that he’s searching our DVDs “Yeah, we have a bit of an obsession” I laugh.
“Do you want to watch a movie?” I ask sitting on the couch, Harry surprisingly choses frozen for us to watch and I can’t help but smile.
“So how are you finding London?” he asks as I push play, I am glad he picked this movie it’s one of my favorites. “It’s good, much better than things in Melbourne. I really needed this move.”
“So you and Niall, hey?” He says changing the subject with a smirk on his face, “what about me and Niall?” I don’t remove my eyes from the screen as I speak “Just seems like an odd match to me” I feel Harry’s eyes on me as he speaks.
“What about you and Rachel?” I laugh not wanting to discuss me and Niall anymore. “There is no me and Rachel” he says in a disgusted tone “What is with her obsession with you, it’s weird.”
“Ever since I met her she’s had this thing for me, I told her from the start nothing was going to happen and that I wasn’t interested but she won’t give up. I’ve tried to be nice about it but it’s getting ridiculous now so I just try and hide from her which is a pain because it ruins everything.”
“That’s horrible, I’ve been through that kind of thing before it sucks. She doesn’t like me so stick with me and you’ll be fine.” I say before reaching for Panda blanket at the end of the couch. “She hates all girls that hang out with us boys, she’s a real green monster” we both laugh and I offer harry some of the blanket, it’s beginning to get cold in here. We really need to get our heating working.
Halfway through the movie I notice Harry’s legs start to shiver a little “Do you want me to grab you another blanket? You’re shivering.” I ask starting to get up “Nah it’s fine, I might go to sleep after this movie finishes if that’s alright?” I sit back down and nod “Of course it’s fine” I say before returning to watching the movie.
I suddenly remember all the junk we have left on the bed in the spare room and there’s no way I will be awake enough to move it later. “I’ll be right back” I say I stand up and walk down the hallway to the spare room, as I pass Panda’s room I notice a box labelled junk in the corner of her room and I can’t help but see what’s in it.
“You okay?” Harry’s voice breaks me out of my train of thought, I didn’t realize how long I had been staring at this box full of memories for. “Yeah, I’m fine” I reply wiping my eyes and standing up, “it’s just a box of Panda’s dad’s things. I didn’t realize we had them” I say as we exit the room. “Panda is cute” Harry says changing the subject and following me to the spare room.
“Yeah she is, here’s your room sorry there’s junk everywhere we haven’t gotten around to this room yet.” I say turning on the light. “Thanks, see you in the morning then” Harry says taking a seat on the bed. “Goodnight” I say before heading into my own room.
“Hello?” I say into the phone.
“Hey Katy! How’s everything in London? Have you and the girls settled in okay?”
