Harry's POV
Liza is all red again, it's cute. Bringing up the kiss is brings a strange feeling again. I lean against the wall, there's some silence for a moment before I decide to say something.
"I shouldn't have kissed you like that, sorry." I apologize.
"You don't have to apologize." Liza replies, that is a surprise for me.
"But I should." I respond.
"But I liked it..." she mumbles not sounding like she's joking. "And wanted it even..."Her statement is surprising but for some reason not. It makes me happy, so she did like it? Loving someone is new to me but it is welcome. Her face is so fucking red, like a tomato or maybe a Strawberry.
"You did?" I question, she nods. A huge amount of relief washes over me, I should try to think more rationally atleast because I don't wanna make her uncomfortable and have constantly worrying about whether I made Liza uncomfortable or not.
"Have you even kissed someone before?" Liza asks.
"No, why?" I answer.
"Well you're good." she mumbles.
"Want another one?" I jokingly ask.
"Nope, nope." she answers quickly.Her face is getting even redder than you can possibly get. I find it way too adorable when I shouldn't, I really have no regrets meeting her. She's like a gem, no is telling me otherwise. Just three months was enough to have me like this.
"Let's talk about that lady's offer!" Liza changes the subject.
"I think we can take it." I shrug.
"Then why did you want a week to cinsider it?" she questions.
"Well, she was being rather vague so I think we should be careful." I answer.I wonder why she was so vague, Azula, I I've heard that name and she looks familiar. Why be so vague when you're gonna offer someone the chance to join some kind of gang? I don't get how someone who burnt a village and a suspect would be helpful to a gang. Though danger is always a factor.
But at the same time we're tight on money and have had no progress in trying to kill Weller. This gang sells illegal goods for money and info, they know some of the government's dirty secrets and I remember Weller being very associated with the government.
"We will need more answers but for now we should try taking it slow to think through." I state.
"I feel like I've met Azula before." Liza states.
"Same here, it might just be a coincedence though." I reply.We should give it a try, there really are no other options than that. I'm still a bit skeptical about it but what else is there that we can do? We don't know how we're gonna get in contact with the woman, didn't she say that the hotel owner is the boss or leader of this group? It's better if we try talking to him.
"Let's give it a chance!" Liza states.
"That's our best bet but make sure to keep your guard up." I reply.
"Yeah, yeah Mr Demon." she responds.She gets out of her bed and starts to stretch, it's around 10 right now, nothing much to do. "I think i'm gonna go outside for a little." Liza announces. I nod and give her a smile as she walks out the door, all on my own now.
*1 hour later*
Laying in my bed deep in thought about how to deal with Weller, tryink to kill him head on won't work, poison would be impossible considering the circumstances and he's way too intelligent and can read minds.
It's been a long time since Liza went out and it's not good for either of us to be outside alone for that long. I should look for her, it won't take a lot of time yet...
The door unlocks and Liza comes, except there is one look in her eyes. She doesn't look ok, she looks like she's in a state of shock. Whatever happened I shouldn't ask about now. I'm not gonna ignore it though, so I get out of bed and approach her.
"H-hey." Liza stutters.
"Hey, how are you?" I ask.
"Tired...I'm gonna go to the bathroom." she answers.
"Alright, I'll be right here." I reply.
"Thanks..." she whispers.I watch as she goes into the bathroom and closes the door behind her locking it. It's tempting to find out what happened but at the same time I don't wanna hurt her or possibly bring anything hurtful up. It's better to give space and ask if she wants to talk about it.
She's crying, I can hear it through the door. I lean against the wall, atleast she wasn't injured. I've noticed it's become a thing for her to hide when she's tired or feeling down. I've told her she could talk to me if she needs to but guess it hasn't convinced her. Then again, I'm not good talking about my feelings myself.
It takes five minutes for her to come out of the bathroom, she looks like a mess with swollen eyes and her hair is pretty tangled up too. Her eyes are focused on the ground but I can see.
"Do you want a hug?" I ask.
"Mhm." she answers.
"Alright then." I reply and hug her, patting her back.
"Thanks, I needed this." she mumbles.
"You're welcome, I'm here if you need me." I reply trying to sound as assuring as possible, making sure she feels safe.We stay like this for a while with no words. The only sound in the room being sniffles, I have no idea how long it is before Liza pulls away but atleast she looks calmer and that's a good sign. I really wonder what happened to her...no signs of injury so what could've happened.
"Let's get you cleaned up." I state.
"Mhm, thanks." she weakly nods.
"It's fine, I'm not gonna push you to tell me what happened." I smile.She gives a weak smile, I get a hairbrush and starts brush her hair gently. It's pretty tangled but brushing it isn't a problem. Liza looks completely relaxed while I brush her hair, a huge wave of relief washes over me. Her eyes look less swollen, though they are pretty red and there is some tears on her face which I clean up with a tissue.
When I'm finished, she suddenly hugs me but I accept it, what's wrong with a hug? I don't know what takes over me but I peck her on the forehead and she gives me a look of surprise but then smiles widely. Now that is a surprise.
"Thanks, you didn't have to help clean up." Liza states.
"It's not a problem, I just wanna make sure you're ok." I reply.
"I'm good now." she kisses me on the cheek catching me off guard.I think I'm completely inlove with Liza.
