Dandelion - a Henry Cavill fanfiction

Chapter 6

Yawning I stretch myself and turn my head to the window. The sky is already light blue, and I notice a cloud or two. Now I understand why Heather spent so much money on a set of bed sheets. They are amazing. Even though I didn't really sleep much, I felt comfortable.

Growling because my head hurts from all the crying I sit up. I don't know what to do. Do I want to talk with Luke about it? Do I want to try to fix it? Or do I want to throw everything we have away because of one stupid night?

Relationships aren't easy and can get messy from time to time. Things can get said when one is under a lot of pressure or in an emotional state. But Luke was neither yesterday. I don't want to throw our relationship away because of it. I know that we should be able to work on it. I think that depending on what he will say when I get back over to the house, I'll make up my mind and decide.

Sighing I get out of the bed and look at the t-shirt I'm wearing. It's Henry's. He gave it to me yesterday, because I didn't want to sleep in my dress, nor felt comfortable enough to sleep naked in his guest bedroom. Without asking for a reason, he got it for me from his closet and I could smell it was freshly washed.

After brushing my teeth, I make my way through his house slowly. When I see him cooking in his kitchen I stop in my tracks and shift my weight uncomfortably from one leg onto the other. It looks like he has been awake for some time. His hair looks slightly wet, and he already wears a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Kal gets up from his bed in the living room and walks over to me. Henry notices it and turns around. As soon as he sees me, he smiles at me warmly.

"Good morning. I hope you were able to get some rest," he tells me and points with his hand to the stool where I sat yesterday.

Last night, we didn't talk about anything else after I had thanked him for being a friend. I was too exhausted and confused by everything that happened and he gladly offered me to show me to one of his guest bedrooms.

"Yes, some. And good morning to you too," I let him know as I'm walking to the stool.

"Well, I have been awake for couple of hours now and I don't think morning is still appropriate as it is already one o'clock in the afternoon," he informs me with a grin, and I tear my eyes open in shock.

"I'm sorry."

"Charlotte, stop apologizing. It's all good. You clearly needed the rest, and you already look better than yesterday."

"You probably had plans and I got in the way."

"If you view reading the script I received for the new movie and entertaining Kal as plan, yeah you are definitely disturbing my day packed with plans," he tells me sarcastically and I shake my head, but need to stop as my head hurts. The pain lets me draw my eyebrows together and makes the rest of my face contort.

"Do you want some pain medication?" Henry asks me immediately and I can hear the concern in his voice.

"No, I can deal with it. All the crying has given me a headache."

"You shouldn't be in pain. That's what pain meds are for," he tries again, and I sigh loudly.

"Fine," I give in, and he looks content with my answer.

"Here," he starts as he puts a plate in front of me. When I look at it warily, he continues, "You can't tell me, you don't like scrambled eggs. You would be the first person."

"That's not it, but you cooked for me."

"Yes, because a human being needs to eat in order to function. And I don't think you would want the salmon with lemon and the sautéed spinach with garlic with it as breakfast, because I'll have that as my lunch." He raises an eyebrow inquiringly and the corners of his mouth twitch slightly.
