Red String [h.s] (Completed)

Chapter 66

"Keep me locked up in your eyes
Before the sun pushes out the night
Before we're whispers in the air
Come on and take me without a care
I wanna know what it feels like
To disappear into you and
Never have to say goodbye
I wanna call love what it is
And give you everything I've got to give
Till there's nothing left"

Amy and Harry spend the rest of the weekend in a lover's bliss. They don't leave the hotel room and they rarely stray too far from the bed, or each other. The only alone time Amy has is when she goes to take a shower on Sunday and Harry says he needs to make some work phone calls. She misses him the entire time and feels like a sappy idiot when she rushes back into his arms as soon as she is out.

Harry wasn't making work phone calls. He was making phone calls for her birthday. A birthday he came close to being just a friend for. But now that she's his again, he can plan for her the birthday she deserves. A birthday she'll always remember.

He first contacts Jeff to arrange a private plane. It's not an easy ask for such short notice on an international flight but if anyone can do it, it's Jeff. His next phone call is to Amy's family. They graciously accept and he lets them know the flight details. He leaves it up to Sarah to invite a few more of Amy's Vancouver friends. He stealthily looks through Amy's phone, but just to get Alice's number, mindful about not peeking anywhere else. He sends her a quick text and lets her know what he's planning and asks for a restaurant recommendation. She responds back quickly, not surprised at all that they managed to work things out.

Amy's birthday is on Thursday but Harry sadly has to leave Monday morning for some meetings with his record label about promoting the new album. He'll be back in time for her birthday dinner. He finished his album last week and he's both anxious and excited for Amy to hear it. It's the most honest he's ever been in his writing. He plans on letting her listen to it after her birthday.

The week goes by painfully slow for Amy. School keeps her hands occupied but not her mind, as it frequently drifts off to thoughts about Harry. She remembers their weekend spent together and blushes without meaning to. She also remembers their heated goodbye in the car service in front of the airport. Thank god for tinted windows and privacy dividers. Amy remembers every word he whispered in her ear before he left.

"I'm never letting you go."
"You're my forever."
"I can't wait to spend my life with you."
"You're moving in as soon as school is done."
"Je t'aime."
"Je t'aime."
"Je t'aime."
"I love you."

Harry still finds it difficult to walk away from her when the time comes but he knows it'll only be a few days before he'll be back in Paris and she'll be in his arms again.

On Thursday, Amy goes home from the studio a bit earlier than usual so she can get ready. She isn't sure what Harry has planned but he implied it was something she should dress up for.

After showering, she picks out a bronze colored satin slip dress that has a cowl back that dips quite low. She feels incredibly sexy in it and is excited to see Harry's reaction to it. She can already picture him running his fingers up her bare back and commenting about it being braless.
