MON CHÉRIE [ H.S ]

8. Visits and Heartaches.

Katie:

He'll be back in a few days..

It's completely normal to overthink.Harry would never do anything to hurt my feelings,i just know it.
He said it himself that as long i continue to trust him then nothing bad could ever happen.I needed to be more understanding instead of being this overly jealous girlfriend.I just have to trust him.

I was brought back to reality when i noticed Harris waving his hand swiftly in front of my face,"You doing alright hun?"he asked with a worried tone present in his voice and i nodded my head,giving him a reassuring smile."Yea i'm okay,sorry i'm just a little bit restless especially since Katherine and Alex came back home last night."i answered,zipping up the suitcase that had Harry's brits outfit packed in it.

We were finally done and surprisingly we finished it a day before Jeff's birthday party,"You happy with the finished result?"asked Harris,motioning towards the suitcase.

My mouth curving into a sweet smile,already imagining the way Harry would look as in the completed outfit."Yeah,i'm very proud of it..and of him."i whispered,feeling a sense of happiness and pride in me just knowing that we finally completed the project and that he had agreed to wear it.

"I just can't wait to give it to him and see his reaction,2 weeks seems so far away.."i patted the suitcase excitedly,then turning my body to face Harris and noticing a cheeky grin appearing on his face,making me furrow my eyebrows with confusion.

"What? That look that you're giving me is creeping me the fuck out,did i say something wrong?"i questioned him and he lets out a light chuckle.

"What if you don't have to wait for 2 weeks?"

What...what is he on about?

I crossed my arms together,leaning my body against the concrete wall behind me,still trying to figure out what he was trying to imply."Harris hun,i'm really not seeing the picture clearly."i said as i tried my hardest not to let out a laugh and he groaned playfully."Okay answer me,are you spontaneous?"he asked,his ring clad fingers clutching onto the sides of my shoulders.

"Well..at times i can be. Why?"i questioned back with a small smirk and all he did was smile.

"Take a flight out to LA today and surprise him with it."

I stood there,arms still across my chest as my eyes widened in shock."You're hilarious Harris,try again next time."i broke the silence,dashing to the other side of the studio,re-organising all the fashion sketchbooks and fabrics back to where they originally belonged.

I could hear Harris's footsteps trail from behind me,following my behind like a lost puppy.I couldn't help but snicker just by thinking about it.
suggestion."Bitch-it's not meant to be funny,i was dead serious.I think it'll be a great idea for you to surprise him in LA."He mentioned and i groaned playfully,turning my body around to face him once more.

"And why is that so?"cocking an eyebrow as i patiently waited to hear his reason.

This better be good Harris

"Because you were the one that told me that he looked genuinely upset on face-time.I'm sure he was expecting you to be there for Jeffrey's birthday and when you told him that you had other plans,he understood but his mood definitely changed."he explained,trying his absolute hardest to convince me and you know what? It's sort of working but i still need more conviction.

"Give me more."i teased,a loud groan escaping from Harris.

"You really think it's a good idea Harris?"i asked genuinely,already feeling nervous about the thought of surprising Harry in such a spontaneous way.

I can't help but think that maybe he wants some alone time with his friends and yeah i guess he did looked upset about me not being able to make it for Jeff's birthday but what if he changed his mind? What if he booked the party for only a certain number of people only? What if i was too late?

"You make me feel like a rebellious teenager sometimes."i mumbled softly,walking to the side of room to pack my belongings into my tote bag as quickly as i can.Harris lets out a slight chuckle,"Can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing."he said and i rolled my eyes playfully.

"I'll update you when i land?"i mentioned to Harris before carrying the suitcase regarding Harry's fit and also taking my car keys from my desk.

"Please do love,and don't forget to face time Harry and when he sees the outfit!"reminded Harris and i nodded my head,walking over to him and giving him a kiss on the cheek before heading out of the office.

.

I finally touched down in Los Angeles,it was a journey alright.It took such a long time and i haven't been replying to Harry's texts as often because i wanted it to be a surprise for him.I arrived in Los Angeles at around 2 in the morning,i managed to get myself some light supper before entering the cab then heading towards Harry's home.A part of me was still shitting bricks just thinking of the surprise and how he'd react and then there was another part of me that feels confident that this will be alright.The last i communicated with Harry,he mentioned to me that he has been spending a majority of his free time with Mitch and Jeffrey's family for the past few days.Whatever it is,i'm just really glad that i get to celebrate Jeff's birthday as well.

Jeff has always been there for me since day one,he was like the older brother i've never had.He helped me when it came to moving houses,giving the most helpful advices to even standing by my hospital bed when i gave birth to Alexander.That's how close we are.I know how much Harry absolutely adores Jeffrey not only as a manager but also as a friend.

My thoughts were disrupted when i felt the movement of the vehicle slowing down into a familiar neighbourhood,my mouth already curving into a smile when my eyes were fixed on Harry's car parked outside at his regular parking space.Just beside his lavender mailbox and the tall lemon tree.

He's home..

I thanked the driver,carefully carrying my luggages and the suitcase out of the car,giving him a small reassuring smile before closing the door shut.My heart already beating uncontrollably rapid,my breath was starting to get shorter and shorter each time i took a step forward to his front porch.I haven't done anything this spontaneous before.I mean come on,i literally flew all the way to Los Angeles.This has to be worth it.

I walked to the front porch,placing my luggages down gently as i adjusted my hair a little before pressing the doorbell.I could hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching and people talking over some music and i couldn't help but smile because i just knew Harry would be the one opening the front door.I straightened out my posture as i impatiently listened to the locks being unlocked one by one but the moment the door was opened,all the happiness and excitement had completely left my body.The saliva on my tongue drying up.My heart sinking all the way to my stomach as i soaked in the sight in front of me.

There she was standing in front of me in that vintage Marc Jacobs t-shirt that i remember spending ages looking for it,just so Harry could pair it with his chocolate brown corduroys.A pair of grey cotton sweats that looked a lot like the ones i had packed for Harry to lounge around the house with.Her face completely bare,but yet there wasn't a single flaw present.Her facial expression changing in an instant when she realised who i was.

Kendall.
