"No peeking." You chuckle, guiding Harry towards the living with your hands covering his eyes.
"I'm not!" He laughs.
"Okay, step, step... Open." You remove your hands and he opens his eyes, gasping when he sees a brand new record player in front of him, "I- Where did you- How did you..."
"I found it today, do you like it?"
"Are you kidding me? I love it." He smiles and pulls you into a hug, "Thank you... I've got to try it out right now."
"Do it." You laugh as he pulls away, grabbing one of his vinyls and putting it to play, the music not taking long to fill the room.
"I can't believe you got me another record player." He shakes his head, "Can you hear that? You don't listen to just the music, you listen to their heartbeats..." He then extends you a hand.
"Harry, I-"
"Yes, come on."
"Fine..." You take his hand, and he spins you around the room, you both laughing as you dance calmly.

"y/n? Hello?" Harry calls when he walks into the gallery.
"She went to the cafe for lunch." Tyra appears, smiling, "She worked hard this morning."
"Okay, thanks."
"I hope everything's okay in the house."
"Yeah, everything is... great." He smiles, "Actually, this has been one of the best things that has happened to me." He pulls her into a quick hug and storms out, leaving her laughing.

"Hey!" Harry greets you once he finds you at the cafe.
"Hi!" You smile at him.
"I'm not bothering you, am I?"
"No, of course not. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, everything is perfect." He smirks, placing the folder he was carrying on the table, "I'm done. 'The Chemistry of Love' is complete."
"No way, Harry that's amazing!" You exclaim, hugging him.
"Yeah, thanks. I couldn't have gotten here without your help."
"You're just being nice."
"Well, you're going to pay for the champagne, so..." He teases and you nudge him gently.
"Fine, I can do that."
"Hey! y/n, right?" A male voice sounds behind you two, and you recognise Liam.
"Right."
"We were sitting in the patio, and I thought it was you. Remember me?"
"Liam, Zayn's friend from the other day." You nod.
He then notices Harry, and extends his hand, "Hi, I'm Liam."
"Harry..."
"So, did you finally get rid of that cat guy?" He turns to you, and you gulp, glancing at Harry.
"Cat guy?"
"Yeah, you were doing the baby shower thing." He chuckles.
"Yeah, right- It was nice seeing you Liam."
"You too, we have to meet up sometime. Nice meeting you, Henry." He waves and steps away.
You can see the hurt in Harry's eyes before he storms out, and you quickly follow him.
"Harry!" You call, running after him, "It's not even- Harry!"
"The baby shower was a setup. You did it deliberately to mess up with me, why?" He shouts.
"Because..."
"Because you wanted me out?"
"No, I thought you hated me."
"Hated you? No, I don't... I never did. It was just something I'd told myself."
"Why?"
"So I wouldn't do this."
