Waking up, I was met with the smell of that same cologne that I'm so used to by now, surrounding me in my bed, with that same warmth and weight pressed against me that I could've just melted into the bed with relief. 

Once Harrison said that he was staying I found it hard to believe no matter how much I wanted it to be true, but considering everything that I was trying not to get my hopes up, but now they've officially just shot straight to the sky 

I can feel his chest steadily rise and fall against my back, I carefully shift and roll over to face him as I pillow my hand between the pillow and my cheek, trailing my eyes over his peaceful features, noticing the faint snores that were coming from his parted lips, his short and wild hair ruffled over his forehead causing me to gingerly lift my fingers up to brush the hair away

Bringing my hand down I softly feather my fingers over his face, tracing them over his features that managed to be so hard and beautiful all at once. I mean, I could stare at him for the rest of my life yet I could still find something new about him that I adored, but those eyes will always be my favorite. 

They're the most beautiful eyes that I've ever seen and I'm not ashamed to admit that, I think that it's just because they belong to him. He's got a way of telling you a million things all at once, yet nothing at all at the same time

They can break my heart and build it larger all at once yet they're also the window that can give me a glimpse on the inside of what his words actually mean

Sighing quietly I ghost my fingers over his lips, admiring as I traced the shape of them. I'm completely ruined by this man 

I truly thought that I loved Jonah, but if that was love then I have no idea what this is with Harrison, because the feelings that I had towards Jonah seemed like a fleeting wind while Harrison is like a chaotic storm

I couldn't possibly love Harrison, I barely know him, and I don't really think that I'm quite prepared to even let that notion drift into my reality just yet.

Suddenly my fingers stilled against his lips as I noticed them pucker and press against the pads of my fingers, holding a kiss there as I watched his eyes flicker behind his lids 

He groans, like he's getting pulled out of his sleep and I watch as his lips tugged up at the corners with his eyes still resting peacefully "were you watching me sleep, darling?" he mumbled, with that same rich hoarse morning voice, pulling my fingers away slowly, feeling mortified that he busted me on doing that 

His sleepy smile grows at my silence, probably already knowing how sheepish I look

"Don't go all shy on me now my darling"

I huff as I shuffled forward, hiding my face against his chest, feeling it vibrate against me as he lets out a raspy chuckle

His arms wrapped around me as he yawns, his body tensing as he stretches his muscles out causing another tired groan to leave him

"Don't be embarrassed baby, I do it to you too" he murmured relaxing his body against mine

Chewing on my bottom lip I cuddled closer into him, feeling a whole new wave of nerves with him, much different to the ones that I used to have.

Harrison shuffles back a little, tilting my chin up to look at him, his eyes still heavy from just waking up "why are you all quiet love?" I'm not even really sure what to do if I'm being honest, things were so heated and emotionally charged last night, but now that I've woken up sober from the high and adrenaline, my bravery all of the sudden gone

I shrugged my shoulders, looking to his chest to try and distract myself, wandering my eyes over the dark ink on his skin, following the lines and patterns as if I was redrawing them
