Lola's POV

We had nearly reached his house and were still shivering from the torrential downpour, but with our hands entwined together I didn't feel a thing. I smiled at him as he concentrated on the road and his face scrunched up in annoyance when we hit a traffic jam.

"We'll never get home at this rate, bloody hell." He said, hitting the wheel in anger.

"It's ok, I like being in the car with you. At least we're together." I shrugged and smiled at him whilst squeezing his hand gently.

Harry's hair was dishevelled and his cheeks were flushed with the cold but he still managed to look perfect. He swept his hair from his eyes and as I said those words he smiled at me, but sadness swept over his gaze and he looked away quickly. The car was quiet for a few minutes before he broke it with a cough.

"Where were you going?"

"When?" I asked, confused.

"When you were leaving tonight. Where were you going?" He questioned.

I shuffled in the seat uncomfortably and stayed quiet until he spoke again.

"It's just that, I didn't think you had anyone else to go to."

He was staring at me, waiting for the answer but before I could reply a car beeped behind us and he slowly began the car again, I decided to wait until we got home to tell him.

Harry's POV

I pulled up outside the house and quickly jumped out of the car, pulling Lola's door open as I ran to the front door. The rain was still coming down heavy and Lola and I had matching red cheeks from our time in the rain. I laughed as I saw her jog up the stairs to my house and she cracked a smile when she fell into my arms again. I kissed her nose before opening the door and shoving my coat on the peg.

I felt her arms wrap around me and she squeezed me tight as if I was going somewhere.

"I won't run if you don't." She said quietly in my ear. I turned around quickly and held her in my arms.

"Deal." I whispered back before pulling her up and carrying her bridal style to the sofa. She giggled when I dropped her down quickly and reached out to grab my hand to pull me down with her. I laid down beside her and held her to my side, nuzzling my face into her neck and inhaling her vanilla scent. She was my angel and I wasn't going to let her go this time. We stayed wrapped up for a while, just taking in our surroundings and then she broke the silence with a worried tone.

"Harry?" I kissed her neck before answering.

"Yes, Lola."

"If I tell you where I was going, you won't get mad will you?"

"It depends where you were thinking of, because if it was a brothel or something I would never forgive you!" I laughed at my own joke but when Lola didn't say a thing I knew it was serious. I grasped her waist before pulling up and sitting straight, she was opposite me and her face had gone grey with worry.

I pulled on her wrists.

"Where were you going, Lola. Answer me." I said, my voice strong and brave.
