The One Where they fall in Love.

Chapter 3.

Sophia's POV

I can't believe he's letting me drive his car. I feel so accomplished sitting behind the wheel of this car. If I'm ever able to actually buy this myself, I know I have made it. He pulls out his GPS and asks for my address. I give it to him and he puts it in there. Once that is finished, I start the car and follow the arrows in the garage to find my way out. Once I'm out, I sigh. At least we have already survived that.

"You want to connect your phone to the radio?" Harry asks me. "Oh now, for those two minutes in the car. That's not even one song heard." I tell him and he nods in agreement. "I'll just let the radio play then." he says and turns the volume up a little. "Oh, I love that song." I say when I hear 'In My Blood' by Shawn Mendes on the radio. The song holds so much meaning and I love when a song does that. "You're a fan?" Harry asks me. "Yeah, I am. He's amazing! I've only seen him once in concert, but damn that boy can sing." I tell Harry and he laughs. "He is a very talented young man, indeed." he says and I hear in his voice that he's thinking about something, but I don't ask any questions.

When the song is done, so is our car ride. This car drives so good. I think I might be in love. I'm glad I got to drive it. And I'm also extremely grateful that nothing happened. I'm not used to driving a car that big. "Alright Soph, show me your place now." Harry brings me out of my thoughts. "Just keep in mind that I only moved in 5 days ago, I only have a matrass and a sofa and the kitchen and bathroom were built in. All my boxes are still scattered over the place and it really is a quite small apartment." I say in a rushed tone and Harry grabs my hand. "Don't worry, we'll get that sorted out. You do need a bed though, it must be cold on the floor." he says and I couldn't agree more. "I literally freeze half to death every night, indeed. So, I will get a bed as soon as possible." I tell him and he nods.

We get inside and Harry looks around. While doing that he is walking around the apartment and suddenly he trips over a box. Shit. I can't help but laugh at him and he looks up to me with a fake grumpy face. "You could help me, instead of laughing at me, stupid." he says and I smile apologetically. "Sorry, come here." I say and hold my hand out. Not a smart move Sophia, not a smart move. In only a second, I'm on the floor with Harry, both laughing our asses off. Suddenly we both stop laughing and just look at each other. This is a moment I have seen in many of my dreams.

I'm the first to break this, whatever this is, with a cough and I jump on my feet as if it never happened. I don't want him to feel weird and I sure as hell don't want him to know I found it weird. He stands up after me and apologizes for pulling me down also. "Don't worry about it Harry, could've seen that one coming really." I say and laugh it off. He laughs along and we act as if that little moment never happened. As if the spark that I felt wasn't there. "It's a nice place that you have here. I already see it fully decorated in front of me." he says. He really has a good eye for that if you know that he decorated his place all by himself. "You'll have to help me decorate it then, since you're so good at it. I have no clue what to do with this place." I tell him in all honesty. It's not like I have a lot of space to do whatever I want with it. This place exists out of a small living room, where I'll have to put my dining table in also. A very small kitchen, but I actually like it that way. I also have quite a small room, but again, I really don't mind that, because a bedroom should just be as simple as possible in my opinion. The last room in the small apartment is the bathroom. I did wish that one was a little bigger. I'd love to have a bath, just like Harry has, but I'll have to do it with the little shower that I have. I really can't complain too much, because some people don't even have that. "I would love to." Harry answers my question and brings me out of my thoughts yet again.

"Okay, so what I was thinking... Maybe we should first have everything sorted out in the kitchen. You know, since that's one of the few places that is actually complete already. I should have a few boxes here that have the word kitchen spelled out on them." I tell Harry and he nods. We start to look around and Harry is the first to find one to find one of the boxes and he takes it to the kitchen to place it on the kitchen counter. Not long after that I find the second and last box. "Okay, now let's give everything a nice place." I say and we start unboxing and putting everything from plates to cups in place.

After almost an hour, we are ready in the kitchen. "This would've taken me half the day if I had to do it by myself." I say not even joking. "Come on, it wasn't that much work." Harry says and laughs. "I know, but I would get distracted by anything to be honest." I say and he laughs again. "Of course you would." he says and sticks his tongue out. I roll my eyes, but smile at him. I love this playful banter we have had ever since the very moment we met. It feels as if we've known each other for years. I'm so glad I got this job and that Harry isn't a douchebag. Not that I ever thought he would be.

"Shall we start with the bathroom now? Or does little miss Sophia need a little break already?" Harry says with a grin. "To hell with you." I say and we both start laughing. I never thought this could be so much fun. "But no. I actually don't need a break just yet. We should have the bathroom finished in a second, it's just shampoos and towels and all those necessities." I tell him and he gives me a warm smile. "Let's go then, I guess that will be like two boxes?" he says and I nod. "Yes, I normally already placed them somewhere near the bathroom." I tell him as we make our way out of the kitchen. We are both extra careful to not trip over any boxes anymore and then we reach the bathroom. "You see, I placed them right in front of it. Smart move." I praise myself. "Good job Sophia! You want a cookie?" he says teasingly and I slap him on the arm. "Shut up you." I say but laugh anyway.

Once we step into the bathroom, I see Harry slightly frown. "What's up?" I ask him. "Nothing, it's just not what I had in mind, 's all." he says and now it's my time to frown. "It's small, I know, but I don't have the money for something bigger and I praise myself lucky that I have at least this." I say, but then realise that it came out as if I was mad or something. "Sorry, I also don't like this bathroom, but I am happy to at least have one. I didn't mean for it to come out like that." I tell him and he gives me a slight smile. "It's okay Sophia. I get where you're coming from. I used to not have a lot of money growing up and I'm used to small bathrooms and kitchens, so don't worry about it. I didn't mean that I didn't like it that it was small, I just don't like the design." he says and I feel stupid instantly. stupid me with my stupid mouth. "Oh, okay. Well, sorry anyway. And I also don't like the design at all, but they told me to not change anything, since I'm only renting this place. The only thing I can do is paint the walls. I will definitely do that, because I don't want pistachio coloured walls in my bathroom." I say and he laughs. "That would already make a lot of this better." he says and I agree.

When we're done with the bathroom, I don't know what to do next, because both the living room and bedroom have no furniture in them, so I can't really put anything in there yet. "That's all I could do to be fair." I tell Harry and he looks at me confused. "What do you mean? You have two more rooms in here." he says. "I know, but they should be decorated and have furniture before I can put the last stuff in there, you know." I say. "Then let's do that today. It's only noon right now, we still have half of today." he says. What an optimist. If he wasn't here, I would probably have plopped down on the sofa, took out my laptop and watched a movie while eating a bag of crisps.

"What do you suggest we do then? Go furniture shopping? I was planning to postpone that until I have earned a little more money, if I'm being completely honest." I tell him and he nods. "I understand, but since I'm your boss, I can pay you already by buying the furniture." he says and I look at him as is he's joking, but his face is serious. "No Harry, you don't have to do that! I haven't even done anything work related yet, so you can't pay me yet." I say. "Well, I actually can, so let's go out to grab a bite and then go to the store." he says. I'll have to accept, I guess. "Okay, but I'm paying for the food then though. I'm going to feel as if you're spoiling me, even though you will keep all that from my pay." I say and he smiles. "I'm not going to keep anything from your pay. You are technically already working for me, since you're spending time with me. You can pay for dinner though, if that makes you feel better." he says with a smirk. "I'm hanging out with you, because I want to, that's not work related." I tell him. I can't take this rom him. "I don't care, I'm your boss so you do as I say." he says and winks at me. "Fine." I huff in annoyance.
