Replace Me (Sequel to No Foundations)

I'm not ready - Chapter 5

Harry's POV

"Don't you dare think you're getting off that easily." Remi said to me panting as I rolled off of her and onto my side of the bed onto my back, looking up at the ceiling.

"Ha! Don't tell me you weren't satisfied by that." I say, breathing unevenly as well.

"That's not what I meant." She laughed, snuggling closely to me and putting her head on my chest, looking up at me, tangling her self in the sheets so that her naked body was covered. "I meant, don't think that this is the end of the anniversary. I'd appreciate being spoiled rotten." She smirked.

"What happened to the Remi I know who hate's that sappy romantic bullshit?" I asked teasingly. She clicked her tongue at me. It's Her one habit that reminds me of how she was when we first met.

"It's not like I'm asking you to take me to a meadow and have a picnic Harry!" she argued. "I'm just saying we are going out tonight. That wasn't your present."

"I thought you singing to me this morning was my present." I asked her.

"No, that's what we told the public so that you could go on stage with me. Jesus Harry, can't you keep up?" She teased.

"Oh sorry!" My hands flew up and she stretched up to kiss me. "What do you want to do tonight then?" I asked her.

"I don't know, probably just dinner, unless you've got something else planned. I do have something for you though." She smiled.

"I don't really have anything else planned. It's hard to plan for you. You hate romance which makes planning dates 100 times harder!" I complain.

"All you have to do is go, 'would I ever read this in a teen romance novel?' and if the answer to that question is yes, then you should never take me on that date." She explains, but I shake my head.

"Except that's not true. You don't like it when I show you any form of affection in words and extravagant gestures." I counter her.

"It's just so ridiculous. I don't know!" She gets speechless as she tries to explain and I laugh.

"It's okay Remi, that's just who you are. I'm okay with it. I still love you. I just feel bad."

"Why?" She looks at me confused. I start playing with her hair.

"I don't know, I guess there's just a lot of 'sappy' things I think you deserve to hear, but I don't want to tell you because I'm afraid it would make you uncomfortable." I explain the best I could.

"Like what?" She asks, and I get confused. Was she asking me to tell her these sappy things?

"What?" I ask to clarify.

"Harry, I'm giving you a free pass to say cute things to me that would normally make me throw up in my mouth. You're getting a free pass as another little present for our anniversary." She sighs.

"Wait, so one of my presents is me saying a bunch of nice things to you? How does that work?" I laugh.

"Fine. Don't say anything. I don't care. I just thought for a second you wanted to or something." She said, starting to get up and out of bed. I grabbed her by the arm.

"Oh no you don't." I say as I pull her back to me.

"You're giving me whiplash." She says, smiling lightly.

"YOU'RE giving ME whiplash!" I laugh.

"I have to go get ready if we are going to go out."

"Wait a second will you?"
