We were set a challenge in my creative writing class today to write a 250 word flash fiction, so obviously I based it on Harry and Nikki. Was harder that it sounds to condense it but here it is. Hope you like it. Please review :)

Recognising the tap-tap of her heals, Harry looked up from his work just in time to see her long blonde hair follow her through the door.

After greeting each other they soon settled in to their daily routine of teasing each other, both using humour to mask their feelings, although hoping their motives were unknown to each other.

'Why does she have to make this so torturous for me?' He mused after being rendered once again breathless by her beauty.

For a while they actually settled down to do work, a very rare occurrence, until she started tapping her pen on the desk, deep in thought.

Tap-tap. Tap-tap.

In Harry's brain, however, in became a significant 'Tick-tock. Tick-tock.' A timer, a ticking bomb, an alarm.

It was now or never.

Hesitantly he reached over a trembling hand and tucked a stray bit of hair behind her ear, relishing in the feeling of his skin being in contact with hers.

Then, even more slowly, he brushed his lips against her soft ones, surprised when she didn't withdraw. Actually, he was astounded that the angel in front of him, the woman he loved, was not suddenly beating the crap out of him for what he was currently doing.

In fact, he thought to himself, she seemed to be enjoying it. He took his chance and deepened the kiss, a thrilling experience, greater that any before.

When they eventually broke away she simply grinned at him and said:

"It took you long enough."
