Arcane

chapter 39

I couldn't sleep much during the night, the realization I had discovered taking over my thoughts.

I watched his complexion in the low light, noticing how his brows twitched every once in a while. Or how his muscles moved as he breathed.

I could barely admit to myself that I... you know. I didn't know I was capable of it.

I moved some of his hair out of his face, reading as the clock said 9 am. He moved slightly, turning on his back and stretching out his arms. I smiled, resting my head on my arm, seeing him look towards me.

"Good morning Ember"

"Good morning Harry"

He cupped my face in his hands as he rested on his side, his brows creasing. "You didn't sleep" I scoffed, staring at him in disbelief "How'd you know"

Harry shrugged, pulling me close. "I just do" he took a breath, getting ready to say something but never did.

"Wanna get breakfast?" I ask, nudging his neck with my nose as I felt his chest rumble as he talked "How about we order in?" I pulled back a bit, looking up at him.

Was he embarrassed to be seen with me?

I didn't bring it up and nodded, grabbing my phone and looking through some menus, Harry looked with me and pointed out some places he'd like to try. We ended up ordering some pancakes and smoothies that would come in half an hour, "What do you wanna do today?" I asked, stealing a shirt from Harry and pulling it over my naked legs, "Not sure, you're the local here tell me some good places" He said, resting on his hands behind his head.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed heading back on the bed, straddling him as I grabbed my phone, turning to the camera and holding it up to him. "Say cheese!" He groaned but gave his best smile, his dimples deep in his cheeks as I snapped the picture. "Perfect"

"Let me see" I turned the phone around, showing him the picture

When he didn't say anything and smiled I rolled my eyes, "Admit it, you think you look amazing" He shrugged, "Your words not mine"

I laughed and shoved his shoulder, "Well, there are a few places I happen to like very much" I say, continuing the subject from before. He raised his eyebrows, showing interest "Oh yeah, like what?" I leaned forward, softly pressing my to his. "It's a surprise"

"I love surprises"

I love you.

"I bet"

He playfully smacked my bum, making me jump. "I'm gonna take a shower" I nodded and moved so he could stand up, watching as he gave me a look and a raised eyebrow. I stared at his muscles moving on his back as he stretched, closing the door behind him.

I walked downstairs to grab one of my boxes labeled clothes, sighing at how unorganized it all was. I grabbed the first couple of clothes I saw, throwing something together.

I quickly put on the small dress, throwing on my old converse and heading upstairs to brush I teeth. I knocked on the bathroom door hearing a "come in" from Harry. I opened it and went to grab my toothbrush I had brought in yesterday, feeling Harry's eyes on me. I watched him through the mirror as he did the same, finding my eyes shamelessly tracing over his torso as his towel hung low on his hips.

"I like that dress" He pointed out, going to brush his own teeth. "Thanks, it's pretty old"

"You make it look brand new"

I rolled my eyes but felt the blush creeping onto my cheeks as I rinsed out my mouth, bending over to spit the water out almost choking as Harry pushed his hips against mine from behind. I heard a loud laugh come from him as he moved back, I joined in and punched his arm.

"Very funny"

He shrugged and rinsed out the toothpaste as I tied my hair up in a ponytail. The doorbell rang and I jumped to get it, hearing Harry wall behind me. I opened the door and saw the delivery person holding our food, "How much do I owe you?"

She handed me a recipe it and the bag, "16.73" I handed her the cash and thanked her, closing the door behind me and heading to the couch as Harry got plates and silver wear.

We ate in comfortable silence as we watched television, when we finished I helped him clean up.

"You ready to go?" I asked after he finished changing into some loose jeans, a white t shirt and forest green jacket, "Yeah, can I get a hint of where your taking me though"

"Well, your the only other person who'll have visited it"
