Prompt - The new perfume

******************hiii, just a short blurb about the new perfume! i felt inspired so I wrote something :) It does reflect my negative views of this though but not all of my views. Hopefully this isn't too contravercial that you'll want to rip my head off! love xxx 

ps - it's kind of rough and unedited but i just wanted to share in my flash of inspiration.

Harry's p.o.v

“This is it?” her hands curling around the bottle as she examined it with a look of disgust on her face. Her curls were gathered in one hand, a tic she did when she was concentrating. Her lips were pursed and eyes squinted in concentration behind her large glasses. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

“That’s it.” I replied bluntly, running my hand through my pushed back hair. I wasn’t upset by her feelings on the perfume, yet I couldn’t control the slight edge I was feeling as she eyed six months work with an infallible expression. I knew exactly what she was thinking, her fine-tuned mind for marketing processing the product and evaluating. Living with a woman with a career in marketing was a pain and a blessing all in one. Elle was intelligent but incredibly annoying when you were in a boy-band.

“It’s going to be a flop, you know that right?” Point proven: annoying. “This bottle costs what £90 and-”

“Sixty.” I pointed out.

“Whatever. Your faces are on the box, and as cute as it is, it’s also a downfall. It won’t be able to attract an older market and the girls are too young to afford it. And a summer’s day? You’ve got to be kidding me? That’s not even close to sexy or cute; it’s basically a cheap body mist. It's a money grabber and you know it.” The bottle landed with a soft thud on the sofa in front of her before her legs stretched out over the arm at the far end, toes pointed like she was sitting at a corporate desk in one of those fashion movies. I huffed angrily and crossed my arms. She was right, about everything, and I couldn’t stand it. I was so excited to show her, finally reveal the work we had accomplished. I wanted to see her smile when she saw the product and nod in approval. Instead the opposite happened.

“I don’t know how I tolerate you sometimes,” I mumbled and walked to the kitchen. I pulled out the bottle of Amaretto and poured myself a much needed drink, taking swig before pressing the heels of my hands to my eyes. Moments passed and I could hear her placing the perfume in the box and placing it on the counter behind me. I continued to look out the small window in resistance as I felt her arms wrap around my torso and her forehead loll against my back.

“I’m sorry, Harry.” She murmured, kissing between my shoulder blades. “I know this means a lot to you and I’m sorry for ruining your moment.” Her voice was soft and muffled against my back. I sighed as she nuzzled her nose into my shirt and squeezed me tighter into her embrace.

“It’s okay,” I sighed once more, giving in. “I respect your opinion.” I unlocked her small hands and turned around. In one fluid movement we were chest to chest, kissing. I couldn’t blame her for being the way she was - bitchy and critical – since her sharp mind was one of the many things I loved about her and allowed her to be successful in her career.

“The bottle’s cute though,” she smiled into the kiss. “Kinda like a knock off of a mix of Ellie Saab, Coach and Lancôme if you ask me.”

 I let out a burly laugh and l kissed her nose, watching her eyes shine with amusement. “You’re impossible, but I love you for it.” 

so that's it! please let me know your opinions (not too nasty please) and how YOU feel about this new fragrance!
