Number Seventy Two

Il-fucking-legal ^

Y'all wouldn't believe me if I told you that the title of this book is actually a joke. I was meant to change “Click, Click” to something more poetic but then I got lazy to think.

Chapter Seventy Two

"Harry, you can't just do things without consulting me first?" I exasperated over the phone, my fingers pinched the bridge of my nose and I heard him chuckle on the other end "It's better this way, you're both safe. I knew if I spoke to you that you'd find a way to talk me out of it and I am not going to hear another word from you about this" I sighed knowing I would have "It's just another burden to you, Harry" I tried to reason even though he just said he doesn't want to hear anymore on this topic "Like I said, I want this. It's my choice and I hope that deep down its yours too" He said softly and I danced on the balls of my feet.

"Okay," I obliged "I'll stay" I could practically hear him smiling as he spoke "Great. I'll see you at home, I love you" His words brought a smile to my tired face "I love you too" I ended the call thereafter and then stared at my empty apartment. There's not a single thing left, it's move-in ready again. Being the stubborn person that he is, Harry cleared out my entire apartment within the span of 5 hours. When I informed him of going out to lunch with Tash, he said I could take the rest of the day off and go shopping, I mean which girl would resist that but I knew something was up. Tash and I drove back to our apartment, our jaws nearly hit the floor at what we walked into.

"He did this?" She questioned, folding her arms as she stepped into the living room "Yeah" I nodded "He's asked me to move in with him a lot lately and I kept on saying that I need to think about it. I know I spend most of my time at his house but I also needed a place to call my own, a place where I can just get away from it all. Yet on the other hand, he thinks it's safer for us to stay at his house considering that Matt is still on the loose and his brother stays in the opposite apartment" I explained and took in a deep breath once done, falling to the floor with my legs crossed since there was not a single piece of furniture in the apartment.

"Harry's got a point" I nodded in agreement "I know" Tash walked closer and sat in front of me "Though, I also understand your reason for not wanting to move, heck I'd even want a space of my own. I'm not saying that Harry is suffocating you but you two have been through so much, I think it's okay for you to take this step and it's not like he asked you to marry him" She chuckled and I felt my stomach drop "I just frightened you, didn't I?" She asked when she noticed the stricken look on my face "I didn't mean to, I'm sorry" Tash broke out into a giggles and I whacked her arm "It's not funny, Tash" I huffed "Would it really be that bad if he proposed?" I bit my lip at her question, the gears in my mind went into overdrive

"I don't know, anyway we have to go" I stood to my feet and Tash followed, the both of us took one last look at our apartment before heading out to my car, leaving most of our memories behind and on the path to make new ones. "Welcome home" Harry beamed as Natasha and I walked through the front doors of his house. "Hey, you guys" I heard Gemma's voice "Hey" I greeted the both of them and noticed that Tash immediately got herself into conversation with Shawn, she's probably trying to get him to tell her about his new music.

"You okay?" Harry's hands rubbed along my arms and I nodded, fatigue covered my features "I'm just tired" He pulled me closer, wrapping his arms around me and I sunk into his touch. "Noah, come back here" I lifted my head from Harry's chest hearing Gemma shout. The rest of us laughed as we watched Noah run away with her donut. Ever since Noah learnt to walk, he's kept everyone on their toes. Gemma gathered the giggling infant in her arms, blowing a raspberry on his tummy causing Noah to let out a shriek of laughter.

"Can I have a bite now?" She asked and he looked between the chocolate donut which he squashed in his hand and Gemma. He nodded his head before placing the donut to her lips, she opened her mouth to take a bite when Noah pulled it back and shoved it in his own mouth. Gemma pouted and sat on the couch with Noah on her lap, Shawn joined next to them along with my sister. "Are you okay?" I asked when I looked up at Harry, his eyes had teared up at the edges and this wistful smile kissed his lips "Yeah, I'm just thinking about something" I then wounded my arms around his torso.

"What about?" I asked, curiously "About how proud my mother would have been of Gemma, to see the kind of strong and independent woman she grew up to be and now she's becoming a mother herself." He blinked his eyes to rid it of the tears that formed "I'm sure wherever she is, that she's absolutely proud of the both of you" He chuckled dryly "I'm not sure about myself, she would be disgusted with me" I shook my head and spoke in an assuring tone "She wouldn't have. She loved you and she would have loved you unconditionally irrespective of who you become because that's what mother's do, their love is infinite"

His next choice of words caught me by surprise, "I can't wait for the day I have a baby with you even though we already have Noah" He smiled softly and I mirrored it before going on my toes to kiss his lips. "I can't wait for that day too" He kissed me back then pulled away, tightening his hold around me as we watched the group of four be entertained by the ball of joy named Noah. Soon, Shawn and Gemma left to go pick Shawn's sister from the airport. Harry showed Tash to her room which was opposite the guestroom she last stayed in. The room was decorated similarly to her room in our apartment.

"For the last time, you and your sister are staying here under one roof with me. You're much more safer here than being across the hall from Cole" Harry remarked when I brought up the issue of moving us to his house. "I just don't want us to be a burden to you" He sighed and shook his head "You're anything but that. Now, freshen up and come to bed" He pecked my forehead before walking to his closet, urging me to follow him and I gasped once I entered it. An entire side, half of it, was filled with my clothes and Harry may think he's fooling everyone but not me, I noticed the brand new and expensive dresses hidden amongst my own.

"You are unbelievable" He smirked upon my exclamation "And you are incredibly sexy but I bet you'd look even sexier if I ripped those clothes off of you" He stalked towards me and I let out a giggle, my cheeks heating up in the process. "You're just going to have to find out" My voice lowered and Harry's eyebrows rose in delight before he yanked the zip of my skirt down, the material immediately fell down my legs and pooled at my ankles as he then pulled my shirt off of me without opening the buttons first. "Guess I found out and I was proven right" He muttered against my lips before picking me up and walked over to what I figured to be the bathroom.

Start saying your goodbyes </3
