19. Heartbeat

"So I put it half up? Like, in a pony tail?" Harry asks unsure, I smile and nod,

"Yep, you got it. Make sure it's tight." He chews his lip in concentration.

It had been the three days, Harry had healed quickly after the first night. We spent the rest of the two days just hanging out with everyone, it was somewhat therapeutic. Watching mom with Derek, smiling and looking the happiest I've ever seen her. Everything felt right with the world for once, even if it was just a facade it was nice to breathe. You never realize how peaceful it is to just breathe, and know you don't have to run for your life, or fight for it. Harry's hands run down my shoulders, and to my waist, before he wraps them around my waist, bringing his lips to my temple, and his body close to mine,

"How did I do?" He whispers, causing me to smile,

"You did beautifully, Harry." I meet his eyes in the mirror, he smirks as he brings my body closer to his. With his eyes locked on mine, he trails his warm lips down my jaw before kissing under it, rendering me breathless. Just as he starts making a little mark, I let a quiet moan slip, causing him to pull back with a smirk. I laugh, out of breath, "You can't keep doing that to me." I tell him, turning around to face him,

"And why not?" He questions, arms crossed behind his back, smirking as wide as ever,

"I'm a good girl, Harry. Don't turn me into a bad one. Yet." I send a wink, before heading out of the bathroom. As I pass him by, I make sure to slap his ass before exiting. I hear him snicker before following me out.

This kid, I swear.

After getting ourselves , we headed back to my house. I had called Bill before hand, about two hours before we left and told him we were on our way. He said he would have dinner ready for when I got home. I'm praying to God I can pull the 'I'm tired' card and go to bed. It was around seven when we pulled up, the sun had just set. Harry helps me out of his range rover, and I grab my suitcase.

"I got it," Harry smiles, before taking it from my hand. I shake my head but smile,

"Thank you," I say, as we walk up to the door. Harry opens it, and allows me first, I thank him once more, before walking in.

"Hey there! You're just in time for dinner, sweet pea! Harry, you can stay for dinner if you'd like, there's plenty here." Bill greets, awfully happy. I look up at Harry, and he shrugs,

"Sounds good, sir." He smiles,

"Brilliant! Come! Fix a plate!" Bill saunters off into the kitchen, and muffle a laugh,

"Maybe he actually took his Zoloft." Harry snickers,

"I'll take this upstairs baby." He sneaks a quick kiss before heading up stairs. I smile to myself,

"Oh my God, you're alive, well did you fi-" Jake starts, until I clamp my hand over his mouth,

"Shhh!" I shake my head, "Yes, we found her, we can't talk about this right now, okay??" I breathe, he nods. I take my hand from his mouth as Harry comes from upstairs,

Sitting down for dinner, I made sure Harry and I sat together, while Bill and Chasity where on the ends, Jake in front of me. The meal consisted of lemon pepper chicken, green beans, baked potato, and steamed broccoli. I wouldn't be lying if I said this meal was too healthy for me. I love chicken and green beans, but get the potato and broccoli AWAY. Blehh. Bill clears his throat, signalling the weird small talk. Well, here we go.

"So, kids," He smiles, "How was thanksgiving?" He asks Harry and I. I look up at Harry just as he looks down at me,

"It was fun," I break the silence between us, looking at Bill. "Harry's family is really sweet, and it was a pleasure to meet them, and share thanksgiving with them." I smile,
