"And then I came" He breathed

"I like you Olivia, I really like you." I swallowed and looked up at him and paused for a minute
We both stand there in the silence until I speak 
"And I really like you, Harry"

"I want you to get to know me... And I want to get to know you.
If you let me I'd really like to give this thing a second chance"
He took another step towards me and this time I stayed put

"I don't know" I sigh shakily
"This is just so much to wrap my brain around"

"I get it, Trust me if you would've asked me three months ago that I would've felt like this about someone I had just met I wouldn't of believed you." I slouch onto the couch and put my head in my hands

"I'm sorry about randomly showing up with your sister here" He says and sits down next to me on the couch

"She was leaving anyway." I say still short to the point answers as I'm still trying to process this all.

"I'm still sorry"
"She won't tell anyone, If that's what you're worried about" I say knowing that thought was probably going through his mind

"I wasn't worried" He states and There's an Uncomfortable silence

"Harry," I say quietly and he looks at me and raises his eyebrows

"If I agree to go on with this--" I pause "Whatever this is, I need to know that We're not going to jump into this head first. And that We're going to take our time to get to know each other" I say softly while looking down at my feet.

"I would really really love that." I look up at him and he smiles at me and I return one back.

"My favorite Color Is White, I know technically White isn't a color but I don't really care."

He gives me a cheeky look before responding
"Mine is Green at the moment It changes quite often though"

"My favorite music to listen to is the songs where the Lyrics tell the story.
Where while listening you can picture in your head whats going on
Even though you don't know the exact story behind the lyrics
You can make your own and interrupt it your own way."

"I agree, although I'm pretty sure Most of the time what I think it's about isn't close the origin"
I laugh as I can picture the insane stories he thinks they're about.

"See but that's the thing that Is so great about those songs. It's that Anyone can find a way to relate to them. Because the lyrics can mean anything you think they mean.
Even if someone wrote a song about losing their Best friend someone who maybe just had a bad breakup can relate to it. Or maybe a Love song While listening to it you can picture your partner and yourself."

I look and see a smirk and whisper a "What?"
"When you're talking about something and you get really into it You just smile and rant on about it"

I blush and look down and say a quick "Sorry"

"Hey, Don't be sorry It's cute"

"Now you're just sucking up" I say and he pretends to be offended
"No... Well Yes but it's still cute"

"So give me a random fact about you" I raise my eyebrows and let out a deep breath
"let me think" I chuckle

"Well, I can beat anyone at 'Mario Kart'" I say very proudly of myself
"Oh really? Well you haven't played me yet so.."

My jaw drops "Are you challenging me Mr.Wales?"
"I think I am"  I get up from the couch and get the Nintendo switch set up

"Fine, Let me show you who the real champion is"

We spend the next 2 hours playing 3 cups and Harry only winning 4 games out of the 12 games

"And still I remain the all time Champion" Harry slouches back and shakes his head

"I think you cheated" I give him a questioningly look
"Please explain to me how one cheats at Mario Kart?"

"Why would you want me to explain it? You already know how it's done as you literally just did it." I sit there with my jaw open and then finally I burst out laughing.

"Oh keep thinking that" I say as I get up and walk into the kitchen to grab a glass of water and He follows me.

"Want one?" I ask and he nods his head.
"I would offer you some type of alcoholic beverage but It seems that Mak and I drank it all" He chuckles and I add "I honestly don't know if I want to drink again after that hangover"

"Was Rough night?" He asks taking his glass from my hand
"Yea, you could say that" His face then softens realizing that It was probably him that caused the "rough night"

He was about to speak up as the sound of the door opens I walk out of the kitchen and see a very Drunk Mak walking into our apartment.

"LIVEY hiiiiiii we really missed u tonight" I sigh as this wasn't what I needed
"You loook soooo much like that prince that's so fuunnny" She slurs pointing at Harry

"Oh god" I walk towards her with Harry following closely behind me
She falls into us and causes me to stumble back into Harry. He somehow manages to catch both of us.
"Here let me" I step aside and He picks her up and I lead him into the guest bedroom where he sets her down onto the bed

"Come on Mak lets go to bed" I say and she barley gets a response out as I take her shoes off.
Harry walks back into the living room and I go and grab an advil and cup of water to put next to her bed for the ugly hangover she's going have tomorrow.

I walk back into the living room and Harry smiles as he sees me
"Hi sorry about her"
"Don't worry about it, I've looked worse than that" He laughs
He stands up and pulls me into his embrace

"I should get going" Harry breaths into my hair as my face is buried in his chest
"I know, I have to work in the morning"
"I would've left earlier if i had known that"
"it's okay I would've kicked you out if I wanted you too"
"good to know"

"Bye hun, I'll call you tomorrow" He says as I walk him to my door.
"I'll answer this time I promise" I say guilty

He leaves not kissing me goodbye as he didn't want to overstep the boundaries
I sigh and go get ready for bed and lay down trying to process everything that went on today.

'What am I getting myself into" I say to myself before falling asleep
