Tessa's POV:

I wake up the next morning to a sleeping Harry. He looks so peaceful just lying there. I sigh. I should probably get up and start the day, I have a laundry list of chores that need to be done. The first is getting a new phone. 

I don't want to leave Harry and this bed with him but I have no choice. 

I move a little in the bed and Harry starts to stir. I don't want to wake him but every time I move an inch, he responds by moving a little in his sleep. 

I finally manage to get up and get to the bathroom without making a sound. I close the bathroom door.

I squeeze the bottle of toothpaste. Barely anything comes out. Shoot. Anyone thing I have to get. I squeeze out whatever is left and brush my teeth for three minutes. 

I quietly tip-toe to the adjacent closet in the room and pick out an outfit. I decide to go with a simple blue blouse and some denim jeans. I step outside and am about to step into the living room when I hear Harry call my name.

"Tessa."

 He says in simply but in a tone that reveals a slight tinge of annoyance.

Oh shoot. 

I turn around. 

"Uh hi." I say.

"We were supposed to go together today." He says and gets up from the bed and walks over towards me. 

"I know, but it's just that I didn't want to wake you and-"

He throws his hand up and cuts me off.

"Whatever. It's fine. Just wait for me to get ready." He turns his back to me and walks towards the bathroom door.

"But Harry, you are going to take so long and I need to get a bunch of stuff done!! Can you just please hurry up? Is it even necessary that you come?" I say with a sense of urgency in my tone, but of course, urgency is never an issue with Harry. He does things at his own pace. 

It's not that I don't want him to come. My thoughts are just all over the place when I am with Harry sometimes, he's always made me feel that way and I just need to focus tonight on getting stuff tone. 

"I'll only take ten minutes. Calm down Theresa!" He says and slams the bathroom door. 

Scrambled for time, I start off my making the bed. I start with my side and then Harry's. I tuck in the corners neatly and fluff up the pillows quickly.

Ten minutes later, Harry keeps his promise and emerges from the bathroom.

"See, right on the fucking dot. I can be punctual too." He says grabbing me and squeezing me.

"Harry!! All the water from your hair is all over my top." I say and release myself from his grip. 

He starts laughing.

"Ugh! What are you laughing at? This isn't even funny. Now I have to change it!" I throw my hands up in annoyance and go back to the closet. 

"Sorry, you're just so much fun to annoy because you get annoyed so easily, I can't help it." He says and cracks up into laughter again. 

I ignore him and find another shirt to change into. I wouldn't be as annoyed cause its just water and it will try up but this is my new top and I don't want to ruin it. 

I look through my clothes again and find a neutral colored top. I put it on and grab a jacket.

Harry takes one look at my outfit and chuckles again.
