Rewrite the Stars (A Harry Wells x Reader Insert)

Chapter 10

~Him~

"Jack, I can't talk right now," I said hurriedly into the phone. "I'm leaving soon for my date. I can't-"

"Date? Since when do you have a date, Harrison? That's not like you! Is it with the hooker?"

"I'd be careful if I were you, Jack."

"What? I'm just saying, no matter how bad the date goes, at least you'll have a happy ending if you know what I mean-"

I hung up on the bastard, trying not to let my temper get the better of me. There was no way in hell I was going to let anyone or anything ruin tonight with (Y/N). It had to be perfect. She deserved perfect.

I was stood out in the main room of the penthouse, waiting for her to come out from behind the closed doors of the bedroom. I felt nervous, which was incredibly unlike me, and I took to pacing a small section of the room and fiddling with my white shirt collar every so often.

I checked my watch and knew that we would have to leave in fifteen minutes if we were going to make it on time, information which I shared with (Y/N).

"Good things come to those who wait," she shouted back. "I'll be out in a minute."

"Okay," I replied, but I went back to pacing anyway if just to occupy myself and keep my nerves at bay.

A few minutes later, (Y/N) emerged finally from the bedroom in the most sublime red dress that could probably make the world stand still.

Though mine already had.

"Pick up your jaw, hot stuff," she said cheekily. "And my eyes are up here."

"You look..." I couldn't even finish my sentence.

She smiled, taking a few steps further towards me before kissing my cheek. She was the definition of beauty and sophistication. It took me a second to remember I had something for her. I grabbed the box on the desk behind me and held it in front of her.

"Now, this is only a loan, but I thought you might like to wear this for tonight," I said, and opened the lid, presenting her with a glittering diamond and ruby necklace. (Y/N)'s eyes widened in amazement.

"I get to wear that?" she said, apprehensive to touch the jewelry piece.

"If you let me do the honours?" I removed the item with care from the box and stood behind her to place it around her neck. She looked in the mirror at it, her smile brighter than the necklace itself.

"Harrison... how did you- how much is this thing worth?"

"Quarter of a million."

"Whaa-? Are you pulling my leg?" Her eyes had gone wide, and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Wouldn't dream of it."

We made our way down to the lobby side by side, all the while passing hotel guests and staff whose heads turned as we walked by them. Although, this time, they were undeniably looking at (Y/N). But not with judgement.

I led her outside where I had a ride arranged to take us to the airfield. Where we were going wasn't in Star City.

Once we were comfortably seated in the back of the car, (Y/N) excitedly turned to me.

"So, where are we going?"

"It's a surprise," I said, trying not to smile at the way she looked so desperate to know. She practically bounced the whole way to our destination and tried to pry a few clues from me, but I remained tight-lipped.
