Future [H.S]

Chapter Seventeen

  A thought came back to my mind, and I asked almost immediately "Harry?" he hummed "why did you call me princess earlier? And please don't call me that, ever again." he chuckled, which made me do the same before he answered, a smirk appeared on his face "well, I saved you from drowning and getting killed by those monsters. So practically, that makes you a princess, and me, the prince charming who saved your ass." I squinted my eyes at him before I chuckled and pinched his arm, which made him exaggerate an 'ouch' as I said, raising my eyebrows. The words left my mouth without me rethinking them "so now, I should call you prince charming." I stilled, frozen as I felt my face heat up and my ears burned. I did not just say that, did I? Oh my God I did! What do I do now?!

His smile spread from ear to ear, he definitely, surely, and most positively heard that. I looked away trying to hide my blushing cheeks but failed miserably.

Why was I blushing anyway? He was not prince charming, right? Right, but oh, he was my prince charming. Wait! Oh my God! I just wished I could disappear and never face him again. Oh no! Do I not want to see him again? What the hell was I doing?! What the hell was I thinking?! Cut this crap Pamukkale right now! You don't have feelings for this pretty boy, do you? Ugh! Can I cry now? I just don't know what the hell I'm feeling right now, maybe a bunch of mixed emotions. I don't-

My thoughts were cut off when his angelic voice was heard "uh, you okay?" I shook my head slightly and looked at him to see that he had a concerned look attached to his cute face. I reassured "yep, I'm fantastic." I forced a smile on my face as he smirked slightly, he said the dreaded sentence I've been trying to forget since the last two seconds "you think I'm prince charming?" I was silent for a moment before I acted as if everything was fine "whaat? Pfft, nuh uh. You must be hearing things Harold. I would never say that. Although you should see a doctor, you're not looking too well judging by the way you're hearing stupid things, eh?" stop talking, STOP TALKING! "Prince charming? Who even says that?! It's so foreign on my tongue and it only exsists in Disney world, I can't even-"

He placed his index on my lips, shushing me, and I did. Thank God. I looked at him to find a small grin on his face as he said, his voice filled the silence in the room "alright, I get it. You never said it. Okay." he removed his hand and placed it behind his head before he added quickly in a mutter with a slight smirk "but you did say it."

I had my serious face on now as I said firmly, I looked at him through squinted eyes "shut up, Harold." he scrunched his nose up as he replied "ew, don't call me that! It makes me think that I'm old. Just go with Harry, Hazza, Haz, or anything other than that name." he slightly shivered and I almost laughed at his nickname "Hazza? Where the hell did you get this nickname from? It's sounding much worse than Harold to be honest." he snapped back "first of all, this name was given to be by my best friends who are currently in the mountains and it's none of your buisness. And secondly, your name isn't any better, it's too long and weird. What does it mean anyway, Pamukkale?"

I shot him a look, was he challenging me with that smug look on his face? Well, I know literally everything about my name, I love it so much and no one could change my mind about that. I replied coldly "did you even pass your geography class, Haz?" I used the new nickname just to bug him off, but he seemed not to be bothered at all. His eyes were closed then, but he peaked out with one of his eyes at me before he shut it again. He said, taking a breath "in fact I did. But I didn't continue my studies, I was always the first in my class and they promoted me to higher classes, I was in tenth grade when I was thirteen. Then I stopped going to school for a reason I told you about just five minutes ago. Although I did continue studying what I love, all alone, such as maths and biology. Weird much? What does that have to do with your name anyway Pam? Don't change the subject, love."

I sighed, should I really tell him? There's no secret in that, right? Okay, I'll just go ahead and tell him the story of my name.

"It means 'cotton castle' in Turkish, it's a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey. The area is famous for a carbonate mineral left by the flowing of thermal spring water. 

Pamukkale refers to the surface of the shimmering, snow-white limestone, shaped over millennia by calcite-rich springs. Dripping slowly down the mountainside, mineral-rich waters collect in and cascade down the mineral terraces, into pools below. Legend has it that the formations are solidified cotton that giants left out to dry."

I let out a chuckle as he did "it is so beautiful that you really get mesmerized by its beauty."

I started remembering the pictures I saw of it when I was curious to know more about my own name back then as I continued, his emerald eyes never left my face, which gave me a feeling that he was interested in what I was saying and encouraged me to go on "I was born so white and beautiful, like Snow White. That's what I remember my real parents used to say to me. They didn't want to call me Snow White, it just belonged to that Disney princess." I laughed at that and he smiled softly "so they decided to call me Pamukkale, the only other thing which was white other than Snow White and Antarctica." this time he chuckled with me. I ended calmly "it's just so beautiful, if you look at it, you just can't take your eyes off it."

I sighed as I rested my head on the pillow beside him as I heard him inhale deeply then breath out a "yeah." from beside me and I just didn't know what happened next because I was fast asleep. The fastest time I fell asleep in. God,I was exhausted.
