Run & Hide ☠ Sequel

099☠

   "Scarlett?" I heard a voice speak from the other side of the bathroom door, causing me to tense up. It was Harry.

  I inhaled deeply, before swinging the door open. Immediately Harry spun around, a relieved look covering his face as he dove forwards to engulf me in a warm hug. My heart melted in my chest as he began to apologize profusely for not being here when I woke up, leaving kisses on my face after every 'sorry' before kissing my lips firmly. I sighed inwardly at the feeling of his lips on mine, feeling a rush of familiarity flood me as his large warm hands cupped my cheeks while I roped my arms around his waist.

  But after few seconds something hit me. A wave of memories flashed right before my eyes as his warms lips captured mine. In that moment I saw everything. The first time I met him where he held a gun to my forehead. Our first kiss. The first time he comforted me after a nightmare. The numerous times he made me cry. The million times he made my heart leap in my chest. The time we got stuck in the elevator together. The time he saved me from Seth. The time I saved him from getting blown away to bits.

  When his lips parted mine, and our tongues touched, another rush of memories flooded my head. I saw the memory where he caught me touching myself. The first time he touched me. Our first date. The time we made love where he told me he loved me, and I him. His birthday. The multiple fights we had after the phase I went through when my mother died. I remembered everything, every kiss, every fight, every 'I love you' exchanged.

  I broke away from the kiss, utterly overwhelmed by the gush of lost memories I had just experienced all over again. Along with the memories, I remembered every feeling and emotion I felt. His eyes opened, gazing at mine in confusion. A frown etched upon his face when he saw my tears and joyous smile.

   "Harry," I whispered, my hands coming up to cradle his cheeks adoringly as I stared into those beautiful green eyes I fell in love with a year ago. The beautiful green eyes I am in love with till this day. "I remember everything."

  It dawned upon him. His lips parting in shock as his eyes widened. Immediately they turned glossy, tears building up as his pink lips stretched into a gorgeous beaming smile. He grabbed my face again, tugging me for a firm kiss before he engulfed me in a strong hug, letting out a tiny sob. I turned my head to press a kiss to his cheek, before moving my lips to his ear and whispering.

   "I love you Harry."

  He let out another sob at my words, making me pull back to cup his cheeks and coo at him, wiping his tears away as he smiled happily at me. His forehead was pressed against mine as he smiled so hard his dimple popped out; sniffling as he finally spoke.

   "I love you so much, Scarlett," he cried softly, tilting his head upwards to kiss my forehead before holding my head to his chest as he hugged me tightly.

   "Harry, baby don't cry," I mumbled with a tiny frown as his tears fell into my hair while he clutched me to him.

   "I-I'm sorry," he laughed sheepishly, pulling away to rub his eyes in embarrassment. "I'm just happy. So happy."

   "I'm happy too," I murmured with a grin, adoring the way his forest green eyes were lit with happiness and relief as he stared at me. "What?" I mumbled sheepishly, noticing that he was gazing at me for a little longer than usual, a soft smile dancing on his lips.

   "I've got my baby back," he grinned, his words making me want to kiss him again, and I did. "Mmm," he mumbled against my lips, making me pull away with a frown. "I just remembered something!"

   "What?" I questioned, frowning at how giddy he looked.

   "It's your birthday!"
