'cause we're on fire.

[Have you seen Harry's new twitter icon?]

"That's true, but you would in fact be lying, and we both know that you're a shit liar." Emelie pointed out before eating another bite of her food. She could always tell when Louis was lying, whether it was to her or to someone else. Maybe it was simply because she'd known him for so long, or maybe he was just really that horrible at lying. She didn't know, but either way she could always somehow figure out when he was lying. "I despise them." She deadpanned before smiling when he pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Alright." As he disappeared down the hall, clearly up to something, she finished up the last of her food before bringing her plate over to the sink.

---

After laying there with his face buried into his pillows for what felt like hours, but had probably only been a couple of minutes, Harry still had nothing. He wasn't good with these kinds of things. However, he knew someone who was. Sitting up slightly, he grabbed his phone off of his nightstand and dialed the all too familiar number. "Mum? Yeah, it's me. Sorry for not ringing you the last couple of days...do you have a moment?" He ran through his already unruly looking curls, waiting for her response. "I just--I really need to talk to someone, and I didn't know who else to call."

[ yea. And I don't even know how to explain my thoughts when I saw it ]

Louis rolled his eyes hearing what she said to him as he made his way up to the bathroom, he was not a shit liar. Or at least he didn't think he was a shit liar. But whatever. Once he'd gotten the bath drawn though and was sure it was nice he decided to head back down and get his lovely girlfriend. "So are you ready to be led to your next part of the surprise?" He asked her with a smile before slowly going to cover her eyes with his hands. He could've told her where they were going, or maybe what the plan was, but that would take all the fun out of it. And Louis wanted this to be a surprise. He wanted her to be blown away when she saw he'd drew them a nice bubble bath to relax in while they let their food digest. There was even wine. And of course there was more after this, but that wasn't anything too big. That was more him just leading her to the bedroom where he planned to give her a nice massage and possibly do a few other things. This was first though, because well they needed to let their food digest and all that, and what better way than to sit in the tub with some bubbles just relaxing with some nice music playing in the background. They could do whatever, talk about anything and everything. It was nice.

---

"Of course Harry, I'm your mother I've always got a moment for you. What's wrong dear?"

Calliope sighed, "Jake I don't wanna do this. I- I can't do this. Just leave please." She pretty much begged him. She really did not want to deal with this right now, or ever for that matter. It was going to be the same thing over and over again. He'd want to know why she'd tell him and he'd beg her to give him another chance. Which she didn't want to do. She didn't want to give him another chance because she didn't want to be with him. Maybe if she wanted to be with him this would be different, but it wasn't and she didn't. She wanted everything to fucking be okay with Harry but she didn't know what was going on with him. She didn't know what was happening or what was about to happen and it was killing her and dealing with Jake not being able to just take that she didn't want to be with him was not helping. Really it was making everything worse.

[Why is he such a hipster? ::faceapalm: The only thing we haven't seen him in is a pair of hipster glasses...]

Emelie was sure that he had probably rolled his eyes and was probably thinking that he wasn't a shit liar or something along those lines anyway. She could just tell. She knew him well...maybe even better than he knew himself at times. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips when he came back out and walked over, covering her eyes as he spoke. "Of course, but is it really necessary for you to cover my eyes?" She asked as she stood up, waiting for him to lead her wherever he was planning on taking her. She assumed it was somewhere in their flat, and she was extremely curious to see exactly what it was that her boyfriend had set up.

---

"It's...it's Callie." Harry said after a few brief moments of silence. "I did something stupid the other day, mum." He proceeded to explain everything that had happened over the course of the last couple of days. How he'd told Calliope how he felt. How she'd basically turned him down because of her boyfriend, well, he supposed it was ex-boyfriend now. How she'd shown up at his flat the next day and confessed her own feelings. And now, how he really just didn't know what to do at all. "I just---I don't know what to do." He sighed, running a hand through his unruly curls.

"What happened to us, Cal? We were great a couple of days ago...what changed your mind?"

[ ugh I know He probably owns a pair. I bet he's just waiting until the perfect time to take pictures of himself in them because he knows that it'll be the end of us. ]

"Yes it is necessary." Louis told her, though it might not've actually been. It just seemed like it made sense to cover her eyes so she wouldn't know where they were going in their flat. It ya know added to the whole surprise thing. And so once her eyes were covered he started to lead her away and up to the bathroom where the next piece of the surprise was. "Well here we are." He said into her ear before he softly kissed the crook of her neck and removed his hands from her eyes. He hoped that she liked this, he was hoping that he got a good scent of bubbles, he was just hoping that everything was as perfect for her as he wanted it to be. Though really what he wanted was for his girlfriend to be happy and enjoy everything he was doing for her, so really he was sure that it was fine. There was always a bit of doubt in him though.

---

"From what you've told me Harry it sounds like you both love one another. And that's something special. Young love is special. I think you know what you should do. You should take a chance, and not worry about the bad things that could happen but think about the good things. I mean if you make each other happy why wouldn't you want to be with her? And if things don't work then they don't work out, and it'll hurt for a while. But would you rather sit at home knowing you didn't try and let her run around with someone else and lose her anyways or give it a chance and possibly experience one of the most special things you can with another person?"

Calliope sighed, she knew this was coming, she knew she'd have to talk to him about this. And he deserved a real explanation, but she really hated things like this. She was pretty sure that was clear after she'd pushed Harry out. She really needed to work on that though. "Things just changed Jake. I know this is harsh and you don't want to hear it, but I just don't feel the same about you anymore. And I can't keep pretending that I do."

[If he doesn't, and I somehow miraculously meet him, I'll make him take a picture with my glasses on since I guess you could call them hipster glasses ]

"You're ridiculous sometimes." Emelie laughed softly, allowing him to lead her to wherever it was he was leading her to. It wasn't like she could really see where he was leading her since her eyes were covered and all so she was trusting him not to let her walk into a wall or door or something. She smiled when they stopped and he kissed her neck. Opening her eyes, the smile on her face only widened and lit up her features as she took in the sight before her. "Babe, this is--this looks amazing." Turning, she smiled and leaned up, pressing a soft kiss to his lips.

---

Harry was silent for a few moments before letting out a soft sigh. "You're right." He nodded, despite knowing that his mother couldn't actually see him do so. "I need to take a chance. I can't go through life not knowing if things would have worked out between us." He had known that calling his mother would be the best way to figure all of this out. She usually helped him realize things that he knew all along. "Thanks, mum. You're the best. I know what I have to do now."

"So you led me on then?" Jake asked her. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He couldn't believe that she was ending things with him. He'd thought that things were going great between them. "Just like that." A bitter laugh escaped his lips. "Well, the joke's on you, I guess. If you think that that popstar could ever love someone like you, be my guest. Go be with him. See what happens. Don't come crawling back to me when he breaks your heart though."

[ If he doesn't own any I actually think I'd be kind of shocked and I'll just carry around a pair we have at my house all the time so I'm always prepared. My sister has like a million pairs of those hipster 3D glasses with the lenses popped out so yea I guess mine are like that too. My old ones weren't, but my new ones are I guess. ]

Louis nodded his head to her statement. He knew that sometimes he was kind of ridiculous sometimes, but he was also sure that she still loved him anyways. "I was hoping you like it." He told her kissing her back softly before he pulled away all together for a moment. "Anyways, we should get in unless you want the water to get cold and ya know all the bubbles to go away." He told her kind of excited to try this. He'd never done anything like this before. They'd had this freaking bathtub in their flat in the guest bedroom forever, the main bathroom was larger and had a shower but this one had a tub that he didn't usually use. He knew that she did though because she was always more likely to take long baths than he was anyways. But he knew that it was some romantic thing to like sit in the tub together and just take in one another and he figured he'd try it out with her since he loved her and all.

---

"I'm you're mother of course I'm right. Now you go and do what you need to do. Remember that I love you."

"No, I mean when we first started seeing one another I did like you. A lot. But lately I don't know I just haven't felt the same. And I didn't tell you because I thought I could figure everything out and we could be okay because I thought that I wanted you. But I've just realized that I don't." Calliope told him trying to make him understand, but clearly he didn't. "Don't talk about him like that, you don't know him at all. And you don't know what you're talking about. Harry is an amazing guy and this isn't about him. I don't know what's going on with him and me right now anyways and it isn't like I'm jumping his bones." She said back bitterly taking offense that Jake would try and define Harry just because he was a popstar and everyone else made him out to be a bad womanizer. He wasn't. She knew that and that was all that mattered she supposed. "Yea well if he does break my heart you can bet I won't be calling you. Just get out of my flat before I hurt you." She told him wondering suddenly what she'd ever saw in him.

[ We need to be prepared.]

Emelie smiled softly. "I don't just like it. I love it. And I love you." She said quietly as her chocolate eyes locked with his cerulean ones. And she really meant what she said. She did love it, and she did love him. This was honestly probably one of the sweetest things that anyone had ever done for her. Granted, Louis did a lot of really sweet things for her, but this took the cake. "It would be a shame for all of this to go to waste." It was clear that Louis had put a lot of thought into all of this, and she definitely didn't want any of it to go to waste at all. She wanted to enjoy the rest of the evening with her amazing boyfriend, and just sort of relish in the fact that he was actually here with her right now.

---

"Alright. Thanks again, mum. And I love you too." Harry told her before hanging up the phone. He knew what he had to do now. He knew what he wanted to do now. His head had been all jumbled, but now things were much clearer. Getting out of bed, he showered, seeing as he still smelled of booze, and got dressed before heading on over to Calliope's flat. He was sure that she wouldn't expect him to have made a decision so soon, but he just needed her to know how he felt and what he wanted. He wasn't going to waste any more time.

"Fine. But you're the one making the mistake, not me." Without another word to her, Jake stormed out of her flat.

[ yes we do ]

"I love you too." Louis told her kissing her head and leading her over to the tub. "And I'm glad you love it." He added just happy that he could do things like this that clearly made her happy. Plus he really wanted to do something where they could relax together and enjoy the others company. They'd already eaten and so now it was time for this. And so in no time at all Louis was stripping his clothes off and climbing into the tub and getting situated then he was waiting for her to climb in and sit in front of him. The water was still really nice and warm, perfect for his kind of cold feet, and the bubbles still smelt good to. Really this entire thing was perfect, and if he were her and something like this was done for him he'd probably fall more in love. It didn't matter if Emelie did or not though because as long as she loved him he didn't care about much more. She could fall more in love or whatever but as long as she didn't fall out of love with him he'd be fine. "It really would be a shame for this to go to waste." He said leaning back into the tub and smiling over at her.

---

Calliope pushed her fingers through her hair and threw the closet thing she could pick up at her door not caring that it broke. She just needed to throw something and the fact that it broke kind of made her feel a bit better. She was angry, upset, confused, and alone. She couldn't call Harry because she was trying to stay away from him and give him time to sort through everything so she was confused on where they stood or if things were going to be okay with them. She was angry that Jake was such a douche she was just upset. She didn't know how she'd gotten here. How she'd gotten to the point where she didn't have Jake or Harry. And it sucked. Calliope finally sat on the floor and rested her head against the counter trying to just keep calm but it was so hard since she felt like she'd fucked everything up and what if it wasn't fixable. What if Harry really didn't want to be with her because she'd fucked things up too much?

Emelie smiled, allowing him to lead her over towards the tub. Once near it, she slipped her clothes off, climbing in after him and taking a seat in front of him. Letting out a sigh of content, she rested her head back against his chest. This was so beyond perfect. She felt like they'd needed a night like this. Not necessarily one where he went all out with the romance, but just a night where they could relax and enjoy each other's company. She felt like their relationship was constantly go go go, and that they never really had time to do things like this. So, when by some chance they did, she liked to take full advantage of them. And tonight was no different. "It's a good thing that we're not letting it go to waste then."

---

Harry arrived at her flat moments before she threw an unknown object at the door. He'd grabbed the spare key that he knew she kept hidden above the door and opened it, just as the object was thrown. His eyes widened slightly and he ducked out of the way, allowing it to hit the wall behind him and shatter. "You shouldn't throw things at your friends. It isn't very nice you know." He said as he walked inside, closing the door behind him. He frowned slightly when he saw the look of distress on Calliope's face. "What's going on, love?" He asked. It was clear that something was wrong. He didn't know what it was though.

Louis smiled to himself as she climbed into the tub and leaned back into him. He gently kissed her head and then just wrapped his arms around her glad to just have this chance to hold her like this. They needed something like this, just a nice night like this to spend with one another and relax. Usually when when they had nights with just them something would either go wrong like someone would call or they'd be doing other things that were fun but they weren't always the most relaxing things. And with how often he was gone and how little he felt he really got to spend with her he wanted to have tonight to just do nothing and worry about nothing. Louis wanted to take advantage of his time home and with Emelie and so that's what he was doing now. He was taking advantage of being home with her with nothing to worry about. Hell he'd even turned off his phone earlier when she'd first gotten home just so it wouldn't end up ringing or being a bother while he was trying to have a nice night with his girlfriend. "Yes, a very good thing." He whispered in total content.

---

"Why're you here Harry? It hasn't even been two hours yet." Calliope asked not sure if she was ready to hear why he was here or not. She didn't doubt that he could've come up with his decision already. It was possible that he had, really he'd probably called his mum and gotten advice because he didn't know what to do himself and now he was here to tell her what he'd decided. The thing was though she didn't know what he'd decided. She didn't wanna lose him and while it was possible he was here to deliver good news he could just as easily be here for bad news. Harry would be the one to come to her flat to tell her in person that he didn't want to be around her anymore. Because as painful as it would be Harry would be the one to want to tell her face to face, just because he'd think she deserved that. "And it's just Jake. He's kind of a prick. Nothing to worry about."

Emelie smiled. This was honestly the perfect way to end a surprisingly perfect day. When Louis had told her he'd be planning a day like this, she hadn't expected it to be so soon. Needless to say, he'd successfully managed to catch her off guard and surprise her. And it was probably one of the best surprises that she had received in a very long time. Granted, Louis always seemed to try to surprise her, and she usually loved all of his surprises, but this one definitely took the cake. From her relaxing day at the spa with some of her girl friends, to the romantic dinner, and now this, it was all just so perfect. "I think you've outdone yourself, love." She murmured softly.

---

Harry frowned slightly at her words. He walked past her to get a dust pan and broom from the kitchen to clean up the shattered mess on the floor in the hallway. "I just got off the phone with my mum a little while ago." He said, pushing the little shards into the dust pan with the broom. He paused for a moment as he walked past her to dump everything in the garbage. "And I've done some thinking as well. And asked her for some advice." He made a face when she mentioned Jake. "Kind of a prick? If he upset you, it's obviously something I'm going to worry about, Cal. I care about you. You've been one of my best mates for quite some time now." He knew that he was getting off topic now, but he just didn't like the idea of her twat of an ex boyfriend upsetting her regardless of whether or not they were still together.

Louis couldn't help but smile. He felt like somehow this day was a bigger success than he'd thought it would be, and he didn't really know how that was possible. "I do too." He whispered with a soft laugh wondering how he'd ever be able to beat this. "I think I'm going to have to stop surprising you. I'm not sure I could ever plan something this amazing again." He joked with her. He wouldn't stop showering her with gifts or surprises ever, even if he never came close to how amazing this night was. He did know one night that would probably be bigger than this one, but they weren't to that point in their relationship yet. Yes he loved her and she loved him, and sure young couples in love were always getting engaged but Louis didn't think it was the right time. It wasn't that he thought they were too young or that they didn't love one another, because neither of those thing were the problem. It just wasn't the right time. He'd know when it was though, and when he was ready he'd make sure that was the biggest night of their relationship until their wedding night.

---

Calliope watched Harry clean up the mess she'd made picking at her nails while she listened to him. Just like she'd thought. Somehow she'd known he'd call his mum for advice. "Yea, and what did your mum tell you?" She asked him wondering what he'd come up with. He was here because he wanted to tell her what he'd decided and she kind of wanted to know what he'd decided. "He just didn't take us being over that well is all. He was still here when I got home and he just got mad that I was ending things accusing me of leading him on when I wasn't. I mean maybe this last month or so I have been in a way but I planned on working on things so it wasn't like I didn't want to be with him. And I broke up with him as soon as it all really sank in that there was nothing for me to work on. Then he went on about how you could never love someone like me and I'd thought he was right and you'd never forgive me for breaking your heart the other day and that I was gonna be alone." She told him and swallowing the lump in her throat and waiting for a response.

Emelie laughed softly. "You no longer surprising me? Yeah, I'll believe that one when i see it." She teased. She was pretty sure that Louis was always going to surprise her. it didn't matter that she told him not to. Something told her that he would still do it no matter what. And, although she hated the idea of him spending a lot of money on her, she couldn't deny the fact that she really liked it when he surprised her. She loved his surprises really. And she saw him surprising her years from now. Yeah, she saw herself having a future with Louis. He was the one person who she knew better than herself. He'd been her best friend first, and after several years had passed, he became her boyfriend. And, if he felt the same way, which she was pretty sure that he did, he would eventually become her fiancé and then her husband. And the thought made her smile.

---

Harry turned to look at her, a frown on her face. "You don't really believe that, do you?" He asked softly, taking a couple of steps towards her. As he drew closer, he saw the expression on her face and the look in her eyes. She really did think that. That he could never love or forgive someone like her. "Callie..." He sighed softly, taking another step towards her and resting his hands on her arms gently as he looked down at her. "He's wrong. That's not true at all. Do you know why?"

"It could happen." Louis said, even though he didn't really believe that anymore than she did. "I could just decide one day that this was it. I'd pulled off the best surprise ever and that I could never make it any better so I could just stop." He said still not believing himself. "But I wouldn't do that to you, because I know how much you love them." He whispered into her hair before kissing her head again. "How'd you enjoy the spa?" He asked, deciding to talk about her day and how much she'd enjoyed the part of it that he wasn't in, before gently kissing her shoulder. She meant so much to him, and moments like these were the most important to him. Moments where they could just be themselves and bask in one another. "We need to go on a double date or something sometime."

---

Calliope shook her head, she didn't know why it wasn't true. She didn't know how she'd gotten lucky enough to know someone as amazing as Harry, and she really didn't know how she could break his heart but he'd still want to be near her. She was a complete mess. Feeling his hands on her arms, and his eyes on her somewhat put her mind at ease. He wouldn't be trying to comfort her in his own way if he didn't want to be with her right? There's no way he'd be here being himself if he was going to deliver some kind of bad news like he didn't love her or couldn't forgive her or something awful. But then maybe she did know why it wasn't true. Maybe she knew he was telling her that Jake was wrong because he did love her. And he was here right now because he loved her and he wanted to give them a chance.

"Even if you tried doing that, I doubt you would last very long, love." Emelie smiled when he kissed her head. "And I can't argue with you there. I do love your surprises. Quite a lot actually." Sure, she hated when he spent money on her, or did something totally over the top, but that didn't mean that she didn't enjoy or appreciated his surprises. She could tell that Louis always put a lot of thought into them. And it was clear that he knew her better than she even knew herself. Some of the things that he surprised her with were things that she wouldn't even think of doing, or getting, for herself. "It was lovely. I definitely needed a relaxing, stress-free day like that. Thank you." The smile on her face widened a bit when he kissed her shoulder. "If Harry ever grows a pair and tells Calliope how he feels, we could double with them. That would be interesting..." She laughed.

---

"Because I love you, Cal. I've been crazy about you since day one. You're one of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. And, in all honesty, I sometimes think that you're too good for me. But I love you. And I wouldn't be standing here, telling you all of this right now, if I didn't love or care about you." Harry said softly, running his hands up and down her arms gently in what he hoped was a soothing manner. "My mum told me to do what I thought was right. She told me to take risks. And that's what I'm doing right now. That's why I'm here right now. I forgave you a while ago. I just want to put the past behind us. It's in the past for a reason."

Louis smiled, he'd figured that she'd really enjoy what he had planned for her. And he knew that he'd never stop getting her things or surprising her with things. He just loved doing things for her way too much for that. He chuckled lightly shaking his head some, "true. If Harry ever grows a pair and tells her then we could double with them. Of course she'd also have to feel the same and they'd have to start dating, which I think that's why he hasn't told her. He's worried she won't feel the same and last time I heard she was dating some bloke he didn't like." Louis told her, he hadn't really talked to Harry since they all got back from tour so he had no idea what was going on in the blokes mind. "I really should ring him and get an update."

---

Calliope teared up before finally wrapping her arms around his middle and hugged him. "I love you too." She said into his chest. "And your mum's a smart woman." She mumbled, if there was one thing Calliope knew about Harry it was that he'd call his mum every time he was in a jam to get advice. Even if he already knew the answer to fix everything. And if there was one thing that she didn't think it was that she was too good for Harry. Honestly she kind of thought he was too good for her sometimes. Which might've been silly to think but didn't mean she didn't think it. "I want that too." She told him wanting to just put the last few days behind them too and move forward.

[ I'll reply to the others sometime late today when I get the chance ]

"Have you seen the way she acts around him? She feels the same way about him. She just doesn't know it yet." Emelie said. She didn't need to be overly observant to notice the way that Calliope looked at Harry and acted around him. And the same went for Harry. Even before Louis had told her that the curly-haired lad had a thing for one of his best mates, she had known. It was clear that he was completely smitten. "But he'll never know how she feels unless he grows a pair and tells her. I really need to have a word with him so that I can hopefully talk some sense into him. And you really should. I'm surprised that you haven't heard from him recently."

---

Harry hugged her back tightly, pulling her petite frame closer to him as he did so. He chuckled softly at her words. "A very smart woman." He said before pressing a soft kiss to the top of her head. That was why he was constantly calling his mum for advice. She always helped him figure things out. Sometimes he just needed some guidance and for someone to talk some sense into him. Then he would be good to go. He smiled slightly at her later words. "Good." He breathed. He was glad that they were on the same page here. He just wanted to move on from everything else. He didn't want to get stuck on the past and waste the present and future.

[ lord it's been a long day. ]

"Yea, of course I know how she looks at him. I mean it's kind of obvious to everyone accept them how they feel about one another. I've even tried telling him a few times that she loved him too and was probably facing the same problem he was, she's probably scared he doesn't feel the same but he won't know how she feels until he tells her but he won't listen. He always goes on about how she's too good for him or she couldn't love him back and how she wouldn't be dating someone else if she loved him. He makes things way to complex." Louis said knowing it was true, he loved Harry like a brother and all but honestly sometimes he wanted to hit him and tell him to grow a pair and pay attention to things and just tell people how he felt no matter what happened. "I am too. I tried calling him earlier but he didn't pick up. Who knows what he's getting himself into." He added knowing that Harry would surely call him if something was up. "I'm sure he'll call back when he gets my message though."

---

Calliope stayed there for a while longer really happy to have Harry there. She was happy they were both clearly on the same page and more than willing to leave the past few days in the past where they belonged and just move forward. Things wouldn't really be back to normal per-say but they'd be better than the last few days that was sure. "So then what now?" She finally asked him pulling away some to look up at him, "I mean we're just moving on from the last few days but what do we do now? What are we? What are we doing? We should figure out what's going on between us so we can avoid any possible confusion." She said not sure what was going on with them and all. Were they going to be just friends again for a while or try something more than friends. They'd both kind of already confessed how they felt, but that didn't really answer any of her questions because they hadn't really talked about what was going on with them honestly. And technically they'd told one another they loved one another before confessing it meant more than just friends so she wanted to know what was next for them.

"I'm pretty sure that they're both making things a whole hell of a lot more difficult and complex than they need to be." Emelie said, shaking her head slightly. She felt as though Calliope and Harry just needed to tell each other how they felt! Forget all of the minor technicalities and details for the time being. If they were constantly worrying about those things, how were they ever going to allow things to progress as they should, or even as they wanted them to? It would be next to impossible. "When he does. Let me talk some sense into him." She laughed softly. "But enough about them. I'm pretty sure that tonight's only supposed to be about us."

---

Harry relished in the feeling of having her there in his arms. After honestly thinking that he had royally fucked everything up, it was just really comforting. He was glad that they were both willing to put the past behind them and move on. He didn't see a reason for them to dwell on the past, or even the future. He just wanted to live in the here and the now. What happened later on, well, they would worry about later on. "Well, I would really like to take you out one night this week...possibly Friday? And I also think that we should take things slow and just let everything run its course." He didn't want to rush things. He wanted everything to progress normally, and go from there.

Louis had to agree, he thought Calliope and Harry were making things a lot harder on themselves then they really had to be. "Maybe he already grew a pair and told her how he felt, or maybe he called his mum like he tends to do when he doesn't know what to do and she helped him figure everything out. I don't know." He said wishing he knew what was going on, he liked to be kept updated on Harry since they were so close and he did worry about the lad sometimes. "I'll call him tomorrow or something and see what's going on." He finally added knowing he just needed to call Harry and see what was happening. "For now though you're right. Tonight's about us, not them." He said kissing her shoulder then resting his head against hers. They didn't need to think about Harry's relationship, or lack there of romantic relationship with Callie, it was supposed to be all about them.

Calliope smiled up at Harry as she listened to him speak, she was just letting herself register everything he was saying. "That sounds nice." She told him about everything really. "I'd love to go out with you Friday, and I totally agree that we shouldn't rush this." She didn't want them to rush into anything. Even though they were leaving the past in the past that didn't mean her and Harry should rush into anything. Things should be taken slow and done the right way to hopefully avoid possible screw ups. But if by chance there were hiccups along the way then so be it. She really felt like this was best for them. To just take things slow and see where it all led them.
