"Harry," I mumbled as he pressed long, gentle kisses to my neck.
"Stay with me tonight," he breathed before proceeding to give me a hickey. I gave in for a moment, hating that I had to go to school and live 30 minutes away from him when last year I only had him 30 feet away.
"You know I can't," I mumbled in between sloppy kisses. He sighed, falling back into his seat. Morgan, Nathalie, Harry, and I had all agreed that I should spend the majority of my time at the apartment I was paying for, so I would stay with Harry on weekends or two nights during the week. Harry tried to come to the apartment too whenever he could, but he sometimes had late night gigs, if he didn't have a gig he was working, and he also was paying for an apartment.
"I haven't seen you all week," he moaned and I sighed, brushing my hand over my hair.
"I know, we both are just too busy," I replied, looking at him and I could tell something was wrong. I touched his cheek and he rested his hand on mine, "What was that song really about?"
His eyes opened and he glanced at me for a moment before running his hand over his face and sitting up. He pulled my hand gently off his face and he took a deep breath.
"You're making me worried," I chuckled nervously and he gives me a somewhat sad smile and shakes his head.
"I'm going to be an opening act for a touring band."
