So Far Away [H.S]

Chapter 2

It was 11:45 pm when I checked my phone.I groaned as I placed it back on the nightstand.Yesterday was fun.After our interview on The Renee Walker Show Harry and I spent some time in the park.We had small talk,and ate ice cream as we sat on the swings and got a good few judgmental looks from passers by.We probably looked like people in their twenties who are a bit lost in life.But no one will ever know that the truth is that,I've never been happier.And I probably say that each time Harry and I spend quality time together,but it's the truth!

We then came home,good old 157 West,57th Street,we ate junk,got drunk and caught up verbally and physically.
We talked into the early hours of the morning and finally fell asleep when our eyes could no longer take it.

I gave Harry a peck on his cheek before heading to the bathroom.I left him to sleep a bit more.It felt great to wake up with someone in bed.Harry going on tour seems longer than it actually was.After brushing my teeth I grabbed a pair of sweats and fumbled with it as I made my way into the kitchen.I munched on an apple as I gathered the ingredients for pancake batter and began whisking away.I looked up lazily while waiting for the pancakes to cook,
the kitchen,lounge,and rooms all had a perfect view of the New York skyline.It was breath taking.The perfect view of the concrete jungle with enough green from the dining and living area view to rest your eyes.

I remember the day Harry asked me to move in with him like it was yesterday.
I never had a roommate before,so generally speaking,I was as nervous as a pregnant Nun.But Harry being Harry,
made sure that it was the best decision I ever made."Boo!"I felt two hands grab me from behind.I could hear Harry laughing from behind me,"I could have poked your eyes out!"I joked as I turned around to face him and surprised him by crashing my lips against his.Oh how I missed these lips."Who else could it have been?"he mocked once we broke for air."A burglar,a murderer!"

"I don't think an intruder or burglar is going to get in here just to give you a slight boo babe,"he laughed."Don't mock me,"I shoved him lightly.

"But,"he pulled me closer and leaned down,coming eye to eye with me.Those green eyes.I could get lost in them forever.It was like being lost in the most beautiful forest you'd ever see."If I were a burglar,the first thing I'd steal is,"his lips brushed against mine,"one of those amazing pancakes!"he screamed as he pushed me aside and stole a pancake from from the pan on the stove."Harry!

"Oh shit!It's hot!"he screamed as he ran with it out of the kitchen."I chased him around the dining table,"No one told you to take one that's still in the pan clever jack!"

"Aww,someone made little Gracie angry."he pouted."You want it,come get it!"he made a run for the lounge.We did a few roundabouts the couch facing the mounted TV,I pointed the lift in my hand towards Harry,

"Harry Straum,hand over the poor pancake that you have taken hostage"
I ran to the left and Harry ran to the right,not stopping to talk,"sure,but on ransom of course,"

"And what could I possibly offer you that would guarantee the freedom of the pancake so that it may return to its rightful place in the pan to continue cooking with its family and then serve its job as a pancake and be eaten."

"You wouldn't!"he held it close."With maple syrup!"I licked my lips."Very well fair lady,my offer is a kiss for the pancake,so that you may enjoy all it has to offer."I stood with my knees on the couch before Harry,I leaned in,making sure my lips brushed against his, teasing him as he did to me a few minutes before in the kitchen,"I don't think so,"I whispered and pulled the pancake from his hand.

I laughed in triumph as I laid on the couch,and before I knew what was happening,I felt Harry's weight on top of me."You still owe me a kiss miss,"he smirked."
