Sky's POV

I ended up going to sleep, intending to take a nap, but didn't wake up till the next morning. Oops.

Harry had gone to work already so that meant I was alone for the day. My 24 hour illness was thankfully just that, a 24 hour illness. So I felt like I could take on the world today.

I started to call moving companies in London to see how much I'm looking at to have my stuff moved over.

My wallet screamed as I scribbled the bankrupting numbers onto a piece of paper. Frustrated at my failure attempt at "finding a good deal", I ran my fingers through my greasy hair.

I'll shower. That always seems to relieve my stress. Then I'll go visit Harry at work. My spirits lifted a little and a smile covered my face.

All my tension washed away with the water running down my legs into the drain. My excitement built up as I rummaged through my clothes, hopelessly searching for something to wear. The sun was out today, causing the temperature to increase dramatically.

I settled on a blue tank top, light washed jeans, my white converse and one of Harry's beanies, just because I love wearing his stuff. I filled Luna's silver food bowl, before grabbing my purse and leaving the apartment.

Being as I was broke and hadn't saved enough money to buy my own car yet, I was stuck on foot. Plus I had no idea where any bus stops were or where they'd take me.

It want awfully far but it wasn't exactly a stones throw away.

Harrys POV

"3.56 is your change and your receipt. Have a nice day" I smiled at the woman leaving the cash register.

The store was empty so I innocently pulled out my phone to see if Sky had surprised me with any calls or texts.

Not one.

"Not much business today is there Harry?" Mr. Cramer said, startling me as I fumbled to conceal my phone. "Don't worry. I know you've gotta check that thing for that girl of yours"

I laughed at his carelessness to learn her actual name. "Mr. Cramer, have you ever loved someone?"

"Of course"

"It's an amazing feeling isn't it. You can't completely grasp it but it's the most incredible feeling in the world. You know how they always told you in school that once you find THE ONE you'll know almost immediately?"

He shook his head. "I know that's her. That's Sky. She's my one. My only. My everything. It's so incredible that there's someone out in the world created just for you"

"It's even funnier to think she's standing right behind you" a sweet voice said from the entrance of the store. Sky stood, smiling that captivating smile, while a single tear fell down her cheek.

I couldn't find anything to say, so I jumped over the counter and ran over to her. She ran to meet me and we crashed into each other's arms. She jumped up and wrapped her little legs around my waist while I whispered to her how much I loved her. "Harry guess what?"

"What?" I smiled at her.

"Love used to only be a word to me... Until you came along and gave it a definition"

Sky's POV

Mr. Cramer let Harry go early to take me shopping for our apartment. "How'd you get to the store?" Harry asked as he drove with one hand to Target.

He left his other hand to me to hold and adore his meaningless tattoos. "I walked" I said, eyes still staring at his large hand making mine look freakishly small.

"No you didn't. It's 3 miles!"

"Well I caught a ride from this guy"

"YOU DID WHAT?" Harrys eyes shot out of his head while I laughed at his gullibility. He caught on. "I should've know better. You love me too much"

"Yes I do" I smirked and leaned over at the red light to kiss his lips. Harry refused to let me pull away quickly "Harry you'll miss the light" I mumbled into the kiss. "It can wait" he said, holding my face.

Eventually he drove away. We pulled into Target and he jumped out, faster than I had ever seen before, to open the door for me.

"I like your beanie. Where'd you get it?" He asked as we walked through the automatic doors. "My favorite store. It's called Harry's drawer"

"Heyyyy!!! That's mine? Wow. I'd forgotten about that thing. Looks better on you though" he smiled and pulled a cart away from the row. "Your carriage my lady" he said, gesturing to the red shopping cart. "Oh no. No thanks!" I laughed.

Harry shook his head and before I knew it he had me hoisted in the air and setting me in the cart. My mouth formed an "o" shape as I stared at him in disbelief. "Away we go!" He cracked up.

Our cart was over flowing with stuff we could've done without, but bought anyways. We had everything from food to new tableware to movies for the weekends. I thought we'd bought everything under the sun until Harry grabbed a picture frame. He gave me the finger over his lips, signaling me not to say or ask anything.

"Think we bought enough stuff?" I laughed at the 23 bags full of "necessary" things. "Well of course not! Do we have an indoor pool? My own gym in the apartment? Have we won the lottery? NO! Therefore Sky Jones, we did not buy enough stuff"

"I'm in love with a crazy man" I laughed.

"Yes you are" Harry said, making a face only he could make adorable and hilarious all at once.
