We can make it until the end

Harry smiled widely letting his dimples show in his cheeks, "I know you'd drop whatever plans you had, but if those plans involve school work then I'd just have to bring you lunch on another day" He said to her as he hated taking her away from her school work, even when she had to study he would mainly stay away from her. Though he would bring her little snacks and drinks on a regular basis.

---

Freya smiled as she listened to his deep accented voice which she really was enjoying listening to, "Really? Wow that would be amazing, how long do you have left of the course?" She asked him wanting to know even more about him, she wasn't sure why but she did and she was enjoying just talking to him. "I would love to be a judge, but I don't think I'm smart enough to go through law school" She shook her head lightly.

"I think I can take a break from school work, Harry." Lottie said, a quiet laugh escaping her lips. The semester was nearing its end, so she'd already submitted any papers that she had due, and now she just needed to start studying for finals. She still had a week or so before those started up though, so she figured having Harry bring her lunch would be perfectly fine. She honestly thought it was really sweet how Harry seemed so concerned about her getting her school work done. She knew that she was definitely lucky to call him her boyfriend.

---

"I'm about half way through." Liam said. Again, that wasn't technically a lie. He'd been halfway through the law program when his life had been changed completely. With his newfound immortality, he hadn't gone back to university. There were times when it had definitely crossed his mind, but he'd never actually done it. "I'm sure you'd be smart enough." He didn't know her very well at all, but something told him that she would be absolutely brilliant.

Harry raised a brow at his girlfriend, he knew that she was going to need to study now for her finals. "No love, you can't take a break because you need to study. Finals are coming up soon" He told her in a way that sounds like she didn't know this fact which she of course did, he just didn't want her to panic and cram in her studies though he doubted she would ever do that.

---

Freya smiled feeling another blush warming up her cheeks, "I don't really think I have the patience to study for a few more years, besides my Dad is hoping that I'll follow him into the family business. Right now I'm not sure what I want to do" She explained to him not wanting to go into too much detail about what her family did, she knew how much of a secret the family business was.

Lottie sighed softly. "Why do you have to be the responsible one?" She asked, though she was only teasing. She liked how responsible and considerate Harry was. Not all guys were like that. Some never thought twice about the other's well-being or what work they had on their plate. She liked that Harry did. Of course, she liked a lot of things about Harry. A countless number of things actually.

---

"What did you say your family did?" Liam asked her curiously. He was pretty sure that she hadn't said what they did, but he figured that he'd ask his question that way anyway. He was curious. He'd told her some partial truths about himself, and he hoped that she would tell him some stuff about herself in return. Of course, he wouldn't actually know if it was the truth or not.

@ sugarplum.

@ sugarplum.
[Did you still want to do this?]

Harry chuckled softly, "I'm the responsible one because I'm the best thing in your life, and I have to make sure that you're safe all the time and can get the dream career that you want" He smiled brightly at his girlfriend, he wasn't ready to tell her the full reason why he needed her to do well in school. There was a great chance that once he did tell her about himself than she'd want nothing to do with him, if that happened he wanted her to at least be able to support herself and find someone else who loved her for the right reasons.

---

Freya bit down onto her bottom lip as she went through the lie that she had told many other people, people that wanted to be her friend and get to know her though they never got to know the real her. "Boats, shipping stuff" She lied simply to him which wasn't all that much of a lie, her Grandfather and Uncle were in the shipping business as a cover for what they really did. But it was a good cover for the whole family so they all used it when people asked.

[Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I thought I had replied to this.]

Lottie couldn't help smiling at his words. "You worry about me too much sometimes." She mumbled, shaking her head slightly in disbelief. She didn't know how she could have ever gotten so lucky. And that was why she knew that he was right. He really was the best thing in her life. She knew that guys like him didn't come around all that frequently, and she was lucky to call him her boyfriend. She honestly didn't know what he saw in her sometimes. There he was practically looking like he'd been carved straight out of Adonis himself, and then there she was looking as plain Jane as ever. "But I appreciate it. I really do, H." She added soon after, her voice soft.

---

Liam's eyebrows rose at her words. "Really? That's quite interesting." He said honestly. And he really meant it when he said that. It did sound interesting and it wasn't exactly something that you heard something say every single day. Usually people said a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher. Not that their parents and family worked with boats and owned a shipping business. "And you said your dad wants you to join the family business at some point in the future? Is that something that you would like to do, or have you always pictured yourself doing something else with your life?" He was merely curious. He wanted to learn more about this girl. She intrigued him.

[No worries! I've done that before too.]

Harry nodded his head, "Yes I do worry about you to much, but it's my job to worry about you. I'd rather worry about you than have someone else do it for me" He gave her his usual charming dimple showing smile, to him she was always the most stunning woman he had ever laid eyes on and he had seen many different women in his time. The way her light brunette hair framed her beautiful face, her eyes were so deep and warm that he felt tingles in his cold dead heart, her smile that could light up every single room she entered and how she didn't even realize any of that applied to her. He'd be more than happy to remind her just truly amazing she was very single day, though that would mean that he'd have to tell her about himself and that scared the hell out of him.

---

Freya's eyes lit up in a way they hadn't done in a very long time, here was this extremely handsome guy who was actually interested in her. "Growing up I did want to work in the family business, my Grandpa started it way before I was born. My Dad and Uncle run it now, but I'm not sure. My family are planning on me taking it over, part of me wants to but than another part of me wants to have my own career" She admitted to him not knowing why, she just felt so comfortable with him that it was easy to open up to him. "I've never really have anyone interested about what my family does, it's nice to actually get how I feel off of my chest" She looked at him feeling attraction and chemistry that was flowing between them.

Lottie couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corners of her lips. This was precisely why she'd fallen for him. He was just so unbelievably sweet and charming. He was definitely the type of guy that any girl would want to bring home to her parents. "If your job is to worry about me, what's my job exactly?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. She watched him closely, just taking him in, while she waited for his answer. Sometimes it was hard not to stare. He was beautiful. It was something that she'd noticed right away the day they'd met. It was hard not to notice it though, but the more she talked to him, and the more she got to know him, the more she realized that his personality was just as beautiful. He was just a beautiful person. Perfect in so many different senses of the word. And he was all hers.

---

Liam couldn't help noticing how her chocolate eyes lit up. And she wasn't even smiling at that point, but he could see that she was happy to be talking about all of this with him. He paid close attention to facial expressions and emotions. He liked to think that the more expressive the people were around him, the more expressive he could be. And the more expressive he was, the more human he felt. Of course, his emotions were much more...exaggerated than a human's were. It was all a part of being what he was. Everything was heightened. Sadness, angry, happiness. All of it. It was something that took a lot of getting used to. Some of his kind didn't get used to it, and that was when they flipped the switch and didn't feel at all. He'd met a handful of vampires like that. And he knew that he never wanted to be like them. He never could be like them. Emotionless. Cold. That wasn't him at all. "What would you like to do then?" He asked curiously. "You shouldn't keep things to yourself like that, love. Bottling everything up inside of you is never a good thing."

Harry knew it was times like this when he was simply just talking to Lottie, that he wondered about all those different times in his longer than normal life where he wanted to turn off his humanity. He had gone through so many dark times after he had been turned into a vampire, he had been going through one the day he met Lottie and she was like this ray of sunshine that cut the darkness away from him. That light gripped onto him that day and it still hasn't let go, he had been moments away from flipping the switch that day and than Lottie came into his life at the right time. It was like he was meant to live the life that he hadn't chosen for himself because he was meant to be here right now, sitting across from the love of his life. He had just been born too early and he needed to wait for her to join him in this life, "Your job is to sit there looking gorgeous as ever and let me stare at you, also to kiss me and hold me and tell me that you love me" He grinned feeling the happiness and love beat inside of his body, he wished he could explain to her just how much emotions he felt for her and how strong it was to him.

---

Freya was someone who used lots of expressions especially when she talked about something she loved or did something that made her happy, she didn't even notice it though. "Not many people ask me so I don't get the chance to tell anyone, maybe now that I've met you I won't have to bottle anything up" She said biting the inside of her cheek as she never really got the chance to flirt with guys, she wasn't even sure if she was good at flirting but she wanted to flirt with Liam. "I've always wanted to be either a teacher or a nurse, I just want to help people and make even a tiny difference in the world" She told him knowing that if she did become a hunter than she would be helping people, she'd be saving people's lives from vampires who don't give a shit about anything but drinking blood from an innocent being. She'd be making a difference in the world as she'd be ridding the world of creatures that shouldn't even exist, but was being a hunter for the rest of her life what she wanted? Her Dad was lucky to find her Mom who understood because their love was so strong, what if Freya never found that and she never got married and started a family like she had always dreamed about.

The smile on Lottie's face widened at his words and she could feel a frenzy of butterflies forming in her stomach. He was such a smooth-talker. And, evidently, that was what she'd noticed first about him. As cliche as it probably sounded, they'd met in a coffee shop. She'd been balancing a tray of coffees for her and her mates that she was bringing back to work, when they collided, coffee going all over the both of them. She was apologizing profusely when he used some sort of a cheesy one-liner on her. Normally, she didn't fall for things like that, but for some odd reason, Harry seemed to make them work. And he made her giggle like a school girl with a crush. She hummed, acknowledging that she'd heard what he said. "I love you, Harry Styles. I love you so much. There. Am I doing an alright job so far?"

---

Liam smiled at her words. "I'll be sure to ask you loads of questions then." He assured her. And he had picked up on her implication. It sounded like she wanted to see him again after today, and he was definitely planning on making sure that that happened. Because, well, he wanted to see her again. He liked talking to her, and he had a feeling that he knew now what Louis and Harry had been talking about. He saw the way they looked at their girls, but he was slowly beginning to feel like he was sure that they were. Because, Freya was beautiful and she had a beautiful personality to match, and there was just something about her that kept him on the edge of his seat. "I can definitely see that." He said honestly. There was something about her nature. She seemed like a kind soul. Someone who was always looking to help out in some way. "Have you ever thought of telling your family this?"

Harry gave his beautiful girlfriend his charming dimple showing smile when she told him that she loved him, just those three little words meant the world to him and Lottie would never truly understand how much those words did mean to him. He has spent all of his vampire life searching for the one girl who actually loved him for who he really was and that was a vampire, though he hadn't told her about that part of himself which was killing him. He wanted to be completely honest with her but he was scared that would cause her to be in danger if anyone else somehow found out what he was. Though for the past few years he has been extra careful as he was sick and tired of moving to different cities when he made a mistake and someone figured him out, he wanted nothing more than to have a as normal as it can get life for himself and to have Lottie by his side. "You are wonderful at your job love, though I do think I need a kiss" He grinned leaning over the table with his lips already in a kissy pout.

---

A wide bright smile appeared on Freya's face causing the dimples on her cheeks to form, "I'd really like that, I haven't really met anyone around here yet. Although I haven't really put myself out there to meet anyone" She admitted as she could become very shy and quiet around new people, she usually waits until someone talks to her first before she'd ever talk to them. So having herself feel so comfortable around Liam and for her to talk to him so openly, it shocked her because she'd never been like this before. She really hoped that they continued to see each other and spend time together after today, she wanted to know everything about him. She glanced down at her hot drink before her eyes locked back onto his, "I have told my Dad but... he wasn't very happy about it, he's just always thought that I'd follow him so I guess it surprised him" She remembered that night clearly like it happened yesterday, though it happened last year and than the next morning she was woken up early and she started training with her dad.

Lottie rolled her eyes in a playful manner, though she happily obliged and leaned across the table, closing the remaining space between them as she pressed her lips against his softly. She'd never been one for public displays of affection. In fact, she'd always rolled her eyes and scoffed when she saw a couple being all lovey dovey and kissing in public. However, things had since changed. And she had a feeling that it was because, the few guys who she had been with in the past, she hadn't truly loved. She'd always assumed that what she felt for them was love, but it was nothing in comparison to what she felt for Harry. As cliche as it probably sounded, she had never really felt this way, or so strongly, before. Not about anyone at all.

---

Liam smiled widely at her words. "Well, I'm sure that, if you do decide to put yourself out there, you'll meet some wonderful people." He said. She had this air about her. He felt like just about anyone would like her. She was sweet, and caring, and she was clearly passionate about helping people. And he just had this feeling that she would be someone who got on with just about anyone that she talked to. The smile on his face faltered slightly at her later words. He never really understood why parents couldn't just be happy with their children doing something that they loved and wanted to do. "Do you think you'll actually end up following in his footsteps, or become a teacher or nurse, or something of the like?" He asked curiously.

Harry melted when Lottie pressed her lips to his own, the kiss wasn't long as they were out in public but it was enough for him until later when they were alone and he could kiss her all he wanted. "Hmm now I'm happy with your job performance" He smiled slowly leaning back but his hand was still holding onto her's, out of the corner of his eye he noticed the waitress was heading their way with their meals in her hands. "Thank you" He said to the waitress while his eyes stayed focused on Lottie, he wasn't hungry in the slightest but he had learnt long ago that if he wanted to fit in with humans than he needed to continue to eat food like he did when he was human himself. "This looks great" He smiled at his girlfriend picking up his cutlery so he could dig in.

---

Freya sipped her hot chocolate not noticing that the foam had touched the top of her lip and stuck to her cupid's bow, "I'm sure I'll put myself out there one day, but for now at least I have you to spend my time with" She didn't just want to be around him because he was handsome which was a bonus, but he was this sweet, honest guy that actually made her feel like she was the most beautiful girl around. "I'll probably follow his footsteps, I doubt talking to him again will do any good" She wasn't all that crushed about being a full time hunter as she was still going to help people, it was just in a way that none many people wouldn't know about or realise.

Lottie giggled softly. "Of course you are." She mumbled teasingly, giving a slight roll of her eyes. She looked over when the waitress brought over their food, saying a polite 'thank you' before turning back to her boyfriend. "Smells great too." She said, returning the smile that he'd sent her way. She picked up her utensils and twirled some pasta onto her fork before popping it into her mouth. "Tastes good too." Not that she was surprised in the slightest bit. They'd come here before for lunch and dinner, so she knew that the food was delicious. She hadn't tried a single thing there that wasn't good. Hence why they came back so frequently. "So, are you going to give me any hints as to what this surprise is that you have for me?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

---

Liam smiled. "I'm sure you'll make friends in no time and then have absolutely no time for me at all." He said, chuckling softly. He couldn't help noticing the little bit of hot chocolate that had stuck just above her lip. "You have something on your lip..." He paused and instinctively reached out, wiping it away. "There." He grinned as he looked down at her. Lord, was she beautiful. He had never laid eyes on a more beautiful creature in his much longer than normal life. "But you sound like following in his footsteps will make you feel unhappy. Shouldn't you do what makes you happy?" He asked curiously, eyebrows furrowing slightly in confusion. He didn't know why, but he just wanted her to be happy, and he would do anything that he could to help her do that.

Harry cut into the steak he ordered already knowing it was going to taste wonderful, sure vampires didn't have to eat human food but it wouldn't hurt them if they did and they could still taste food much like they could taste blood. He chewed and swallowed before looking at his girlfriend, "You already know the answer to that love. It wouldn't be a surprise if I started giving you hints, now would it? You'll find out soon enough" He grinned knowing Lottie better than anyone else, whenever he had a surprise for her he'd keep it locked up in his mind because he loved seeing the look of shock and than love on her face when he showed her the surprise. She was one or at least she was with him, to show every emotion on her face and in her body movement. Just that made him feel more alive than he felt when he was actually alive.

---

Freya quickly shook her head, "I doubt I'd ever have no time for you, unless of course that's your way of getting ruin of me" She smiled at him before she blushed heavily when he wiped away the hot chocolate from her lip, she wasn't sure if it was in her head but she swore she felt a spark when his skin touched hers. For a few seconds she couldn't think straight so she just listened to what he was saying to her, a part of her wanted to stop him from talking by kissing his inviting lips but with how she was feeling now she wouldn't stop until she was ripping his clothes off. Shaking those thoughts from her mind she focused on what Liam was saying to her, "It's not that following him would make me unhappy, I'd still be happy working with him. I just thought I'd have more of a say in it, which apparently I don't but I'm sure everything will be fine" She gave him a smile not wanting to make him worry.

A slight pout had formed on Lottie's lips. She had already known that that would be his answer, she always knew that it would be, but it never stopped her from asking in hopes that he might tell her or at least give her some sort of a hint. She never managed to get him to crack though. No matter how much she whined and pleaded. She sighed softly. "Fine." She mumbled childishly before twirling some more pasta onto her fork and taking another bite. She could be extremely childish and immature when she wanted to be, and right now was one of those moments. She knew that Harry always found her to be extremely amusing when she acted like this. Hell, he found a lot of things that she did to be amusing. She didn't know why, and he never seemed to really give her an actual explanation either.

---

Liam chuckled softly. "I have no intention of getting rid of you, love. You don't have to worry about that.' He assured her, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. Really, the last thing that he wanted to do was get rid of her. In fact, he kind of wanted to do the exact opposite. He couldn't remember the last time that he'd felt this way. The feelings he was getting for this girl who he had just met were almost foreign to him now. He hadn't felt them since he was human. Now that wasn't to say that he hadn't lusted after a beautiful woman in his longer than normal life, because that wasn't the case. He'd had a couple throughout his mortal and immortal life, but nothing crazy. And nothing ever really seemed to come of being with them anyway. But something felt different with Freya and he couldn't quite put his finger on it. "You should always have a say in things. Especially when it's something you're going to spend a majority of the rest of your left doing." He said, frowning.

Harry chuckled softly seeing the pout that had formed on his girlfriend's lips when she wasn't able to get anything out of him, he did find how childish she acted some times to be amusing because it reminded him so much of how he was when he was a human. He didn't really act all that childish now but only because he had seen so much in his life, he had seen horrible things from the moment when he was turned into a vampire and that had caused him to mature. Not that he didn't have his moments when he could be childish and playful, he smiled as he reached his leg out letting the denim of his jeans brush against her leg. "Don't be like that love, you'll love this surprise and that's all your getting out of me" He looked at her as he took another mouthful of his delicious meal.

---

Freya smiled feeling butterflies fill her stomach when he assured her that he wouldn't be going anywhere nor would be try to get rid of her, "Than I won't be worrying about that" She smiled having never felt this strongly about someone before, especially someone who she had not that long ago met. But there was something different about Liam and although she couldn't put her finger on it, she liked talking to him and being near him. There was something about him that was drawing her in closer to him, she wanted to spend more time with him and she prayed that he felt the same way about her. She had dated other guys in the past but she's never felt like this before. "I know that but you don't know my Dad, I'll talk to him again and make him see my side" She assured him reaching her hand out and gently squeezed his own hand.

Lottie couldn't help cracking a smile at his words. "I don't know why I still bother asking you." She said honestly, letting out a soft laugh. "You would think that I'd have realized by now that you aren't going to budge and tell me what the surprise is." She shook her head slightly before twirling some more pasta onto her fork. "D'you wanna taste?" She asked, holding her fork out to him. They often did things like that. Shared their meals. It was extremely helpful when she was being indecisive and wasn't sure of what to order. Sometimes they ordered a couple of different dishes so they had a variety of different things on the table. Of course, she ended up bringing a lot of leftovers back to her flat. Not that she minded or anything. The food from this place was amazing.

---

"Good." Liam said, offering her a small smile. He was glad to hear that she wasn't worried about him getting rid of her or blowing her off or anything like that. Because, well, he had no intention of doing anything like that at all. He would never intentionally blow a person off or avoid them. Not unless he felt as though it was for their own good. Which, truthfully, had happened on a couple of different occasions throughout the course of his abnormally long life. Normally, he would skip out of whatever town or city he was in randomly and without any sort of an explanation. This usually happened every couple of years as to keep people from getting suspicious. Granted, now that he was in London, he didn't have to worry about it so much. It was the small towns and villages that he had to worry about. He knew that people would start to notice his lack of change in his appearance after ten or so years. "You should. Giving it another go couldn't hurt." He squeezed her hand back lightly.
