6| sleep with me

September 3rd 2017
(Still the same night)

Danielle Scott

I'm staring straight ahead when my own voice brings me out of my thoughts that were currently racing a million miles per second.

"Harry? Can I sleepover?.."

Danielle what are you crazy? You seriously think Harry's going to say yes to that? You're a fucking stranger.

I had no choice but to ask him.

Might as well ask straight up and get it over with right?

The worst thing that can happen is that he rejects me and I sleep on the front porch tonight but then again I would save myself the embarrassment of telling him what happened today and why I got locked out in the first place.

"Uh.. sleepover? Sure.. yeah if you want?" He states confused, eyebrows raised and then lowered all in a matter of a quick second.

Oh. He actually said yes? That was easier than I thought.

"Uhm.. do you mind driving away?" I suggest and he nods reassuringly. He turns his ignition on, making a u-turn and heading back down Cherry street.

Harry quietly looks back and forth between the road ahead of us and me.

Okay here goes..

"So Harry.. I kind of got locked out of the house which is why I asked to sleepover at your house.." I hesitantly start spilling out the truth avoiding his eyes." They locked me out and I know for a fact they wouldn't have let me back in."

"Locked you out?" He asks quietly and I nod at his question. He looks back towards his windshield staying silent and after a few seconds he speaks up again. "You can stay with me as long as you need, or until you resolve whatever's going on with your family." His voice is quiet but assertive.

"But I haven't even told you the full story..?" I curiously question.

"You don't have to. You need a place to stay and that's what matters. I've got you darling." He softly smiles over at me and then returns his eyes to the road.

I don't reciprocate his smile but I get to thinking about how strange it is that by some odd out of this world reason Harry came into my life three days ago and now i'll be sleeping over at his place for the first time..

I noticed his house wasn't that far from Aunt Beth's as we were arriving at his unlit driveway. He pulls his car up and the garage light flickers on to give us some light. Harry quickly turns the ignition off and we get off the car meeting halfway at the front of his car.

"Welcome to my humble abode miss Danielle Scott.." He makes a silly bowing gesture allowing me to walk ahead of him. Internally laughing, I walk at a normal pace towards his door and he follows behind, keys in his hand. I could tell he was trying to make me laugh out loud and distract me from whatever was on my mind after being locked out but it wasn't really working.

"Oh fuck.. Harry I totally forgot to ask if it was okay with your parent's for me to stay.." My hand goes up to cover my mouth.
