Chapter 39

"I...I want to go to London with you."

Sam's P.O.V.

"That's what you wanted to tell me?" He asked.

"No...I mean yes...but no." I replied pulling myself up so I was sitting up.

"Bryan kissed me."

"We got into a bit of a fight and he kissed me. I stepped back as soon as it happened. We talked after and we both agreed there was nothing between us. We're just friends."

"I didn't feel anything." I added. Why isn't he saying anything?

"Harry, this is usually the part where you say something."

"Please say something." I whispered.

"I'm glad you told me." He replied.

"What?"

"I'm not happy about it. But I'm glad you were upfront with me."

"Really?" That's it?

"Really." He replied.

"Is that what's been bugging you?" He asked.

"Yeah, it was bothering me. It was making my head hurt worrying about it."

"You don't need to worry about it anymore. You told me. It's okay."

"Come here." He said putting his arm out. I moved back putting my feet back on the ottoman next to his. I put my head back on his chest. He put his arm around me.

"Depending on what the Doctor says Friday, I really want you to come to London with me. If you're up for it."

"Now you're making me feel worse." I replied.

"Don't. I really want you to come."

"Really?"

"Really." He replied.

"I kind of wish you were a little bit mad at me. It would make me feel a bit better."

"You want me to be mad at you?"

"Just a little."

"You know you're not like any girl I've ever met before."

"Seems to be a good thing...because you keep coming back." He chuckled.

"You're not wrong." He replied. My eyes started getting heavy. Harry pulled a blanket over us and that was all I needed before I was out like a light.

Friday...

It's been raining all week here in the Burgh. It finally let up an hour ago so Harry and I decided to go out and sit on the deck to get some fresh air. It was nice to get out of the house. I was leaning back against the arm of the sofa with my legs on Harry's lap.

"I don't know if I would trust that Doctor's opinion." He said.

"Harry. He said it would be fine for me to go to London with you. I just have to remember to rest."

"Doctors don't usually tell you to get a drink and buy your dog one too." He said making me laugh. Ow my head.

"Don't make me laugh. It's a Pittsburgh thing, Harry. I'll explain later." We enjoyed the peace and quiet for a bit. I closed my eyes resting my head on the cushion.

"Sam." Harry said. He put his hand on my knee shaking me a bit. I opened my eyes.

"What? I'm just resting my eyes."
