Eve POV

Harry pulls up to the house we're looking at today, and I'm surprised. I know Liam lives in an upperclass neighbourhood but this house is just so big and rich looking. I'm the opposite from rich so this should be interesting.

"Ready to go look?" My boyfriend asks me. I take my eyes off of the house and look to him.

"This is the house?" I clarify.

"Yeah, pretty right?" A smug smile goes on his lips.

"Very," I murmur, "Yeah, we can go uh look now," I say.

I feel bad that he's even considering buying this house for us. It looks like it's worth a fortune. I can probably afford the fridge here and that's it.

Harry's hand holds mine as we walk to the front door that is pained red. He opens the door and we see the realtor standing in the foyer with her phone pressed against her ear. She waves at us and tells us she'll be done in a minute.

The foyer is fucking beautiful. Looking forward you see a wide staircase that splits off on both ends and leads upstairs.

On the left side is a doorway which leads to the other side of the house, and it's the same for the right side.

The floor is a glossy marble type of tile. The stairs are the same marble kind of finish, which make the house look even more fancy to me.

The realtor comes back with a wide grin. Her red hair is in a bun and she looks professional. "Hello!" Her voice is peppy. "I'm Penny, you must be Eve," Her hand extends out to mine. I shake it and smile politely back.

"Hello," I reply back.

"So, this is the house. A brief description of it is five bedrooms, three baths, basement, garage, fenced yard, and large kitchen, which you'll see in a minute. Before we begin the tour, any questions?" I've never bought a house so I don't know what to ask.

"No," Harry answers for the both of us. Penny nods warmly and leads us to the left side of the house. As we walk through the doorway that I mentioned before, there is a bathroom and closet that we pass by.

Penny stops walking as we stand in the large living room that leaves me speechless. It's empty of course but it's just so beautiful. There are a lot of windows which gives the house a homey vibe.

What catches my eye is a staircase that leads upstairs and a balcony that goes with it. The balcony has a rail that is a dark brown wooden colour. This staircase isn't marble. The first layer is wood, but it has carpet on top.

The windows in the living room over look the backyard that is big and has an in ground pool. "The living room is more of a show room as you will. There is a separate room I'll show you in a bit that would be considered the den. But it's lovely isn't it?" I don't know what to say so I nod.

All the floors are still marble which surprises me. I think upstairs is carpet though.

There are two other doorways on the left side of the living room. One leads to where I assume the dining room would be and the other is the kitchen.

We walk into the kitchen and I'm left amazed again. It's a very wide space that I know Anna would love to cook in.

The cabinets are wood that have a smooth white finish. The countertops have a glossy dark marble tile and everything is still an open space.

In the kitchen there is an island that holds a sink and stovetop. Then across from it, a few feet away, is a counter where stools would be to eat. The stove faces the counter which is nice as well.

There is a door that leads to the backyard here as well as the living room. "The other walk way in the foyer leads to here," Penny tells Harry and I. "Shall we see the upstairs?"

"Yeah," Harry says for the two of us. We head back to the living room and use the staircase that takes us upstairs.

"We'll start with the bedrooms closest which are the ones on the right," Penny says in a peppy voice. As we're at the top we can either cross the walk way which I assume leads to other bedrooms. To the right is where some bedrooms lie as well.

I guessed right. The upstairs is carpet. It's white carpet that is fluffy and looks very clean.

"There are the two bedrooms," There is a wide space between the two rooms. They're also across from each other which I oddly like. Penny told us the two bathrooms upstairs have showers, the one downstairs doesn't.

The two bedrooms are big. They both have fairly large closets as well a lot of windows for light.

We walk across the walkway and she shows us the master bedroom. If we were to walk right it would lead us to the staircase the foyer provided. It ultimately all loops around which I find cool.

The master bedroom is wide and long. "This is of course the biggest bedroom. It has a walk in closet, and your own bathroom. What is also amazing about this room is the balcony you have outside, which overlooks the backyard," She walks over to the wall that block off seeing the door and shows us.

The balcony view is pretty and nice to look at. It's pretty big too. You can fit some chairs up here which is neat.

The walk in closest is as big as the one in our old apartment which is nice. An island is also in this closet which I like.

The bathroom has two sinks, a stall shower, and a separate bath.

We soon leave the master bedroom and she shows us the other two bedrooms that are left. One is next to us, the other is across the hall.

The last bathroom is in the middle of all the rooms upstairs. Overall, all the bedrooms are huge and have wonderful views of the land of the property.

"There is also a loft if you take this staircase," Penny says while showing us a stairway at the end of the hall. It's next to the bedroom closest to the master room.

We walk up the stairs, and see a space that's big. Two windows are on the left side of the room. It overlooks the driveway as well. The floor has white carpet still which I like. "I guess it could be an attic if you will," Our realtor says.

"Is it possible to put a bathroom up here?" Harry asks.

"Yep!" She says happily. "I'll give you the papers on where bathrooms can be installed the easiest once we get downstairs again," Harry nods and we walk back down to the second floor.

"Before I forget, I'll show you the den," Penny adds. Her voice is still happy sounding.

We walk downstairs, and stand in the living room again.

I didn't even notice the other hallway that was behind us the whole time. This hallway is carpet and not the marble. It goes into this open space that looks more like a TV room. There is a door that leads to the backyard as well.

"This door leads to the basement," Penny informs us while pointing to it. "Anyways, that concludes the whole house. Any questions?"

Harry asks his questions which include stuff about the gas tank, and other house related things. It's all a blur to me what he asks because I don't even know what he's asking about.

I think it's cool that Liam lives across the street though. I know Harry likes it because him and his childhood friend live close now.

Soon Penny disappears to give us a minute to chat. "So, what do you think?" Harry asks me.

"It's a huge house," I say.

"Very," He looks around the space we're in now. "Do you want to get it?"

"How much is it?" I ask.

"Don't worry about it," Harry says. I frown. He kisses my cheek. "Is there anything that you don't like?"

"No, it's perfect. I like the balcony thing in living room, it's cool. And the kitchen is amazing, and the staircase that splits off in the foyer makes the house seem very fancy," I say.

A smile creeps onto his lips. "So does that mean we're getting it?" His arms hook around my low waist.

"Do you want to get it?" I ask. He is the one paying for it, which I feel like shit for. I wish I made enough so I could at least pay half,

"I do," He says.

"And you're sure you want to get a house?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Harry asks me.

"Because I know you like the city and that type of environment," I say. "Plus it's a house, and that's like something new for us, you know? It's a big step,"

"I know," Harry says. "But I want to make that step," I bite my lip and smile gently. Harry leans down and kisses me which makes my body get that little tingly feeling.

"So, we're getting the house?"

"We're getting the house," Harry grins at me. His dimples rest on his cheeks which make me smile a little.

We walk to the kitchen where Penny is. She has stacks of papers with her. She looks over at us with a grin.

Harry tells her we'll take the house. She tells us that's great and all that realtor talk. She pulls out the mortgage papers and gives Harry a pen.

He signs his signature and gives me the pen for me to also sign. My eyebrows knot at him. "It's our home, not just mine," My heart swells at his comment and my eyes sting a little.

I sign the papers for the house and give them back to Penny who smiles widely at us. She gives Harry the keys and tells us congratulations.

I didn't see how much the down payment was or how much the payment will be per month. Harry covered it up well and I couldn't even catch a glance.

The relator left a few minutes ago and Harry and I stand in the kitchen still, letting everything sink in.

"How does it feel being a house owner?" My boyfriend asks me.

"Hasn't sunken in yet, you?"

"Same," He snickers.

"How much was the house?"

"An amount that's okay," My eyes narrow at him. "Look, if we ever decide to move one day we can sell the house for double the amount,"

"Is it more than two hundred thousand?" I bet it is.

"Yes," Harry says. "That was around the amount for the down payment," My eyes widen to the maximum.

"Harry-" He cuts me off.

"It's still considered cheap to me and I'll make the money back in a month," His lips touch mine.

"I feel bad that I can't afford anything," I say in a mumble.

"You can afford plenty of things," He peps talks me.

"Yeah like the toilet seat," I say jokingly. My head rests against his chest and his arms wrap around me.

***

We get back to the hotel around seven. We got Taco Bell for dinner which made me happy.

As I walk to the garbage can in the kitchen to throw away our trash, I see roses on the counter and a cake that reads "happy one year" with a smiley face.

"I uh, know it's like two weeks late but I just wanted to say happy one year, since I forgot. I was too busy thinking about you being pregnant and stuff to remember and I'm really sorry," Harry says beside me.

My welled up eyes look up at him. "No I didn't want you to cry," Harry says as he hugs me.

"They're good tears though," I say through a hiccup. I didn't forget our anniversary but I didn't want to say something when I knew he forgot on the 18th. It didn't bug me really because John never made a big deal out of it, or even remembered.

"I love you Eve,"

"I love you too," I say. We pull away from our hug and I wipe my eyes that have tears leaving them. "What kind of cake is it?" I ask.

"Chocolate with cream cheese frosting," My eyes start to tear up again.

"You remembered my favourite kind of cake?" I ask.

"Of course," He snickers. Harry's lips touch the top of my head and he kisses my cheek. 

"Thank you," I say.

"You don't need to say thank you. It's the least I can do," He tells me.

"I still have your present. Did you want me to give it to you?" I ask while wiping my eyes.

"You got me something?" He asks.

"Yeah, I wanted to surprise you," I snicker.

"I don't deserve it, I forgot our anniversary and I'm making it up now," His eyes look into mine. "Even then it's not the same because we didn't go out to celebrate,"

"They're Chelsea boots," I tell him.

"They are not," He says causing me to chuckle.

"They are," I say.

"I don't deserve them," Harry says to me with soft eyes.

"You just bought us a house," I mention.

"But I forgot and-"

"Accept the boots," I say while cutting him off. I lean up and kiss his lips. "Now, I want cake so I'll grab plates,"

Harry grins softly at me and grabs a knife to cut the cake with.

It was nice not thinking about anything today. I didn't feel like I had this weight on me or felt like crawling in a hole to die.

I hope that feeling today doesn't go away.
