The Way Things Work

Chapter Fifty Nine

"I can not believe that girl!" Harry growled as he practically dragged you back to the flat. The tears stung your eyes but refused to fall. He continued pulling you and your hand was growing sore. He continued grumbling to himself as the throbbing pain in your fingers turned into a tingling numb.

"Harry, please, let go." You whimpered, but he failed to hear you. His head was jammed with obvious thoughts and he failed to hear your pleas. You simply gave up on the calls as he furiously strode back to the complex. You practically ran down the block behind Harry as his grasp had not loosened. You trailed behind as he rushed into the flat about fifteen minutes later. He tossed the keys on the counter, released your hand and stormed into his bedroom. As he banged around you walked into the kitchen. You put his keys in a bowl as you went to the cabinets to grab a dish towel. You laid it out on the marble island and threw some ice on it. You wrapped it up and gingerly placed it on your swollen knuckles. Harry truly had a death grip, you chuckled to yourself. You made your way over to the couch and tucked your legs in as you turned on the TV.

"Babe?" Harry called from the bedroom.

"Yeah?"

"Where is my black tie?"

"Not sure. Did you leave it at Lou's?"

"I'll go and see." He walked in only wearing his boxers."What are you doing?" He looked over at your hand.

"Nothing, just go to Lou's."

"No. What happened?" He grew protective a little too late. 

"You happened. You practically dragged me home!"

"W-Why didn't you say anything?"

"I did genius." You smirked, knowing he didn't try to cause any harm. 

"Oh my God." He slammed down on the couch next to you and buried his face in his hands. "I'm sorry. I just could not believe some one would pull that. Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine, it's just a bruise-"

"Not just that. You aren't listening to what they said right? Because they couldn't be more wrong."

"They aren't completely-"

"Yes, they are. You are beautiful with a gorgeous body and that crap about you not being good enough is wrong too, okay?"

"Okay." You sighed.

"Come here?"

"Is that a question?" You giggled.

"Maybe."

"Always." You smiled as you crawled into his arms. he stroked your cheek and kissed the top of your head as you aligned yourself so your head was on his lap. "So what's the rest of the day look like?"

"We could go out for the day or maybe take a day trip."

"That sounds fun." You smiled up at him. "Where?"

"To my home to meet my parents?"

"Seriously?" You pulled yourself up and looked him straight in the eye.

"Y-Yeah, we don't have to I was-"

"I'd love to!" You interjected. Harry truly loved you and your stomach seemed to flip at the warming sensation.

"Really? I just love you so much and I want them all to meet you considering I want to spend my life with you." His cheeks flushed at the end fearing he said too much.

"The rest of your life with me?"

"Does that scare you?'

"No, it makes me the happiest girl in the world." You smiled as you pulled him in for a kiss.
