The Last Days of A Peaceful Life

A Stranger In My Bed

"HARRY! DON'T!" 

...Too Late. 

Harry had jumped over his balcony and on to mine... and he was...TOO. CLOSE. FOR. COMFORT!! 

He was so close I could feel his minty breath, he tipped my chin up and his face was something out of my dreams, he had eyes that were so green they put emeralds to shame. He was silent as he watched me study his face in such close proximity...it shocked me how someone could be so beautiful even up close like this...surly when some one is so close imperfections start to make themselves known. Wait. What am I doing! I jut my chin out to show that I'm not bothered by his sudden impertinence. His expression turned mocking, and I felt my face grow hot with embarrassment. I felt sudden outrage at his conceit and my moment of weakness. My pulse quickened and I could feel my knees about to buckle. My hands found the door frame and I was given some stability, I backed away before I could get to caught up in him, he grinned. 

"Well 'Noneyo', you are not as immune to me as I previously thought!" THE NERVE, THIS HAIRY LITTLE NUMBSKULL HAD JUST CAUSE HE WAS A BIT GOOD LOOKING. All enchantment of the previous moment was washed away now only indignation remained. How dare this little pansy with an overgrown afro think he had gotten the best of me! Whatever the case, I had to get him out of here before I lose my mind and commit a murder. 

"GET.OUT." I said through gritted teeth. He gave a breathy chuckle that set the baby hairs on the back of my neck to rise on their toes. I shuddered as I felt a tightness in my stomach countered with butterflies going mad. He lowered his head until I could no longer see his face, but I could feel his nose in the hollow of my neck, I caught my breath. 

"No." He whispered as his lips brushed my ear, I gasped. My heart was mush. How on earth could some one so infuriating have such an affect on me!? I wanted to run away. He chuckled again, a boyish laugh ...he was amused...He was making fun of me my ears grew hot and my face flushed with anger... I jerked away and just as I was about to slap him. 

"VALERIE!!!! I'M HOME! I HOPE YOU'RE NOT STILL IN BED! I BOUGHT BREAKFAST! I WAS HOPING WE COULD EAT TOGETHER, BEFORE I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL!" I heard my dad yell. 

"Dad!" I whispered, panic tainting my voice. 

"Valerie" Harry breathed in awe, I shot him a glare lined with worry and he looked confused. I could hear my dads foot steps come up the stairs... I began to think of something...Nothing. I'M SO DEAD! My family is the conservative kind and my dad is the over protective kind... If he sees stupid Harry with me in the room he will kill him! Then my poor father will be in jail! OH NO POOR DADDY! Harry as if sensing my panic grabbed my arm and dragged me to the bed, I began to protest, WHAT THE HELL DID HE THINK HE WAS DOING!?!?! 

"JUST TRUST ME, PRETEND TO BE ASLEEP!" He whisper/yelled, He threw the covers over me so only my eyes and forehead were visible, Harry got in, and hugged me real close, his face was pressed into the small of my back. I tried to ignore that fact and squeezed my eyes shut. Oh god this could go either really well or really bad... My dad walked in and sighed when he saw that I was sleeping...he came over checked my temperature like he always does...doctors habit I guess... he kissed my forehead and left the room. AWH DADDY! It's bad enough that I don't get to see him but even today when I could have had breakfast and enjoyed his company it was all ruined... I'm not a cry baby but I felt like I wanted to... you see my parents are not bad people... in fact they are very good people... they wanted to help people in need so they decided to become doctors. My mom is apart of a program called 'Doctors without Borders". It's where Doctors go to war torn and 3rd world countries to help children and people in need. So she is barely here...but she calls every day! And in her place my dad tries to make up for it, but he has other responsibilities too...in fact I think my parents wish to spend more time with me than I want to with them...and TRUST ME I want to be with them all the time... We stayed like that for an hour; Harry and I. Waited till my dad quickly finished his breakfast came back up planted another kiss and drove off.
