The Strings Attached

Part 32

"How about a dog?" Harrison says from the kitchen as he washes the dishes.

"We already have a dog Harrison. Actually, you have a dog." I say on the couch, petting Monty.

"Yeah but Monty need a friend Alexa. We should defiantly get another dog." Harrison sighs and turns the water off.

I scrunch my nose up and look at Monty. "What about a cute little Kitten." I suggest and Harrison turns around from the sink and looks at me funny.

"A cat? Why?" Harrison asks kind of surprised.

"Because I'm a cat person that's why. Besides I've never had a kitten cause of Tessa." I say and Monty starts wagging her tail.

Harrison shakes his head and sighs, unplugging the drain to let the water drain away. He dries his hands and sits at the foot of the couch since I'm lying down.

"Speaking of Tessa, we have to pick her up and drop her and Monty off at my sisters." Harrison starts to say. "We leave in two days."

"Finally we get to see Tom again." I smile and start to sit up. "I haven't seen him since Christmas."

"Well I get why he moves to LA, so it would be easier for shooting. But we barely get to see him now." Harrison sighs and I raise an eyebrow at him.

"You were on the press tour with him Haz, I wasn't." I say and Harrison rolls his eyes. "But I'm coming on the Spider Man press tour."

"Awesome." Harrison says and crawls forward, and kisses me on the cheek and makes me laugh. "We should start packing then."

"How much school are you missing Paddy?" I ask him as we are flying to LA for the premier of Avengers 4.

"A week." He sighs and leans down in his chair. "But whatever it doesn't really matter."

I smile at him and turn to Harrison who's leaning against the window sound asleep. It was hard to believe Paddy was turning fifteen this year, it feels like everyone was growing up so fast.

"Do you know what corses you need to take for collage?" I ask, keeping quiet so I don't wake Harrison.

Paddy shrugs and sighs. "I'm not sure yet. I sort of want to go into acting like Tom, but some behind the scene stuff. But not directing." Paddy says.

"You could become a world famous author like your sister." I smirk and Paddy laughs.

"Maybe." He says, then starts to yawn. "I'm going to sleep now." And with that, Paddy doses off to sleep.

A few minutes later I start to feel tired myself, so I snuggle up next to Harrison and fall asleep too.

We land in LA and it was early in the morning there. Tom was with Jacob when he picked us all up.

"Well I'm not surprised some things never change." I smirk and look over to Harrison who's confused.

"What do you mean?" He asks me, pulling his suitcase.
