I wake up early to get on my work call. I walk around the house at 6:30AM, trying not to wake Harry
"Anna how has your first days been going?" my boss asks
"Oh it's great! I've been looking out for other companies and places that are liable adverts"
"I knew I could count on you"
Phew
I was scared she was going to question me further
"Okay I think that covers everything. Everyone keep up the great work and I will catch up with you all next month"
Thank goodness that call is over. Now I can relax until noon
I sit on the bed and rub Harry's back
"Wake up prince charming"
He groans as he turns over to face me. He opens his eyes and smiles
"Good morning" he says before puckering his lips
I kiss his lips softly before getting up and showering. I hear Harry's footsteps approaching so I hurry to get in the steamy shower
"Darn" he says
"Too slow"
"Touché"
I chuckle before putting shampoo in my hair
"Harry can I tell you something?"
"Of course"
"Okay i'm just going to come out and say it...I want us to get back together. I understand if you think it's too soon and if you want to-"
"Me too"
"What? Are you serious?"
"Yes. I think we've learned our lesson, don't you?"
"So are we official?"
"Hold that thought for one second"
Harry rushes out the bathroom and out the apartment
"Harry?"
Where did he go?
I get out the shower and wrap the towel around me as I blow dry my hair. I hear the apartment door open
"Anna"
"Yes?"
I turn around and see Harry holding a bouquet of red roses and a sandwich from Trader Joe's
"Will you be my girlfriend..again?"
Harry smiles so big which makes his dimples appear very deep
"Yes of course"
He brings me into a hug but all I can smell is the sandwich
"Ooo is this that turkey and swiss sandwich from Trader Joe's?"
"Indeed it is"
"You are the best boyfriend ever. I love you"
"I love you, baby"
He kisses my cheek before leaving the bathroom to allow me to finish up. I braid a little strand in the side of my hair then put on a distressed denim skirt, black sweater, and black platform boots
"You should have seen the look on Jaxon's face when he saw me with the roses" Harry says, walking into the bathroom
"No shit, you ran into him?"
"He was fuming"
I laugh hysterically before catching my breath
"I can't imagine what he must be thinking"
"That guy of hers is a right gentleman" Harry mocks in an Australian accent
"Wow you really think so highly of yourself"
"It's what action Jaxon is mumbling to himself when I walk by"
"What are your plans today?"
"I need to head to the studio to do final touches for the album"
"Shit, when is the album coming out?"
"Not for another year"
"Mind if I have a listen?"
"I'd love for you to listen to it"
"I'm excited!"
"Are you?"
Harry wraps his arms around my waist
"Yes. I am"
"It's all about you"
"All of it?"
"Well there are references that you and I will only understand and some passed relationship stuff so not all of it"
"Wow I must be special to you"
"More than special"
He kisses my neck softly
"Let's go" he whispers
"Ok"
I turn around in his arms to kiss him before we leave. I hold his hand as we go down to his car in the parking garage. We are sat in his car and his hand is on my thigh
"I'm warning you, there are three songs that are from when we were on a break"
"Will they make me cry?"
"They made me cry..so probably"
We arrive at the studio. Harry opens my door and leads me into the room
"We've got a special guest so I was hoping you could play it from the top for her"
"Of course!"
The music gets cued up
"This is Meet Me In The Hallway. It's one of the three from our break"
Harry puts his arm around me and I lean my head on his shoulder.
This song is somber. I can't believe I left him to feel this way.
I shed a tear as the song comes to an end. Harry looks at me with a smile
"Oh, baby"
His hand is on the back of my head and his other rubbing my back
"Don't worry it's a good cry. That song is beautiful"
The next song starts playing
"Prepare yourself for more tears. This is Sign Of The Times. It's also one from- you know "
"Hand me the damn tissue box"
The song makes me just as emotional as the first
"Damn you Harry"
"More like damn you. I wrote it because of your actions"
"I hate that I love it"
The next song is qued
"This is Carolina" Harry says "This one is about a passed relationship. Except for the chorus, that's all you"
He winks before the music plays.
I was not expecting this song to be sexual
"Haz!"
"Did you like it"
"It's my favorite so far"
"I don't know if I should take offense to that"

We listen to the rest of the album. Two Ghosts made me cry. Sweet Creature is adorable. I love it. Only Angel made me feel things. I was slightly turned on, i'm not going to lie. It made me feel sexy, knowing it's all about me. Kiwi made me feel the same as Only Angel. They have the same vibe.
Harry said Ever Since New York isn't about me but I enjoyed it. I'm told Woman may or may not have been written about me when I went to the 1D concert with my ex. Jealous Harry is sexy. Lastly, Meet Me In The Hallway. It's the only one i have no words for. I can't conjure up any words for how I feel about it.
"Would you want to hear songs that didn't make it on the album"
"Absolutely!"
"I'm only giving you two. Complicated Freak and Already Home. But about you, of course"
I smirk before the intro to Already Home plays. It's slow. Exactly what I was expecting.
The song ends and I wipe my tears
"Haz, I love it"
"Wrote it after I woke up alone. You know what i'm talking about"
He smirks at me before signaling the producer to play the next song
"Will you ever get over it!?!"
"No"
Harry always brings up the one night stand we had and it bugs me. His only red flag is that he can't let it go
Complicated Freak plays and it's almost giving the same vibes as Carolina.

We leave the studio and go back to my apartment. I start my work on my laptop when I get a FaceTime call from my brother which means Matilda is actually calling. I set my phone up on my computer and answer the call
"Annie!"
"Hi princess"
"I miss you"
"I miss you too but I will see you in a few days. Benny is going to fly with you and Gina to America and we will have so much fun together"
"Are we going to colour?"
"Yes we can colour and draw and do whatever you want for four whole days!"
"Yayy! I love you Annie"
"I love you princess. See you in three sleeps"
"Three more sleeps!"
Benji grabs the phone and brings it to a different room
"She's so excited to see you Anna. It's all she has talked about for days"
"I feel bad for not being around but you know how work is and with the house"
"You're doing all you can. We will see you in a couple days"
"I love you"
"Love you too, Anna bear"
I hang up the phone and continue my work when I hear a noise coming from the couch
"Are you alright, Haz?"
"You're sister is adorable"
"She's going to love you"
"You want me around when she comes?"
"Of course. Do you not want to?"
"I wanted to give you your sister time"
"Trust me, she will want you there with us"
"Then i'll be there"
"That's what I like to hear".
