Clean Bandit

Love is an acid

The next morning I get up and untangle myself from Harry.

I shower and get dressed into skinny jeans and a Ramones teeshirt. I tuck the front into my pants because it's oddly long and I wear my black converse.

I go into the kitchen and sigh as I take a banana off the counter. I sit down and take a bite, for Harry's sake.

...And sanity.

"Good to see you indulging." He kisses my neck.
"I'm not indulging." I kiss his lips.
"Ok." He sits next to me, shirtless and hair a mess.

"I have to go to work." he says.
"Me too."
"Okay."

"Nice chat, lets have it again sometime." I joke and grab my bag.

I pass Harry and smack his butt.
"Oh? We're playing that game?" I giggle and wink at him before leaving the apartment.

When I get home, Sam has gone to work and Harry isn't here. I clean up her tissue mess and do the dishes.

"Knock knock." Harry enters my apartment.
"Hey." I kiss his cheek.
"You're gorgeous." he kisses me.
"You're a flirt."
"A good one, right?"
"Oh yeah..."

Harry picks me up bridal style and I let out a squeal.

"What are you doing?" I ask him.
"We're going on an adventure."
"We'll grab my keys and phone." I tell him and he does so as we pass the counter.

He takes me to his car and it get in.

"What kind of adventure?" I ask him as we pull out of the parking garage.
"A fun one."
"Oh you think you can just come here and kidnap me and think it's ok?" I say sarcastically.
"Yeah, because I just did."

We pull up to a beautiful park and I get out. Harry goes to the trunk and pulls out a bottle of my favorite wine.

"It's your favorite." he takes my hand.
"How did you know that?"
"Sam."

We go to a bench and Harry sits down. I rest my legs on his thighs. He puts his arm around me and he opens the wine.

He takes a swig, dipping his head back.
"My you can't drink, you drove here." I tell him.
"I won't get drunk."

After chatting and finishing the bottle, Harry insists he can still drive and I'm not that worried, the complex is like 2 minutes away.

When we get there, Harry takes my hand and kisses it.

"What was that for?" I ask.
"For being beautiful."

"Harryyyyyyy stoppppppp!" I wake up to whining coming from the kitchen and two girls giggling. Alice spent the night with Sam last night so I go into the kitchen and Harry holding up Sam's waffle.

"Come on shorti, you got it!" Harry teases and Sam gives up.
"You're a turd."
I stand behind Harry silently as I see Alice inch closer to him.
"Please give it back Harry." Sam pleads.
"Not until you give me 5 bucks."
"Why would I give you 5 bucks?"
Alice snakes her arm around his neck and laughs into his shoulder. He doesn't move.

"Alice, come on, let's go to Starbucks." Sam grabs her and leads her away from Harry causing him to turn around to see me.

"He-"
"Oh Harry! You're soooo funny!" I mock.
"What?"
"She was all over you!"
"Don't be like that-"
"Ok wait- if we were hanging out with say, your bud and he does something funny, I hand my arms on his neck and laugh into his shoulder, how would you feel?"
"Ok, I'm sorry." he rolls his eyes.
