Chapter 12

We finish dinner and after leaving our dishes in the sink Harry follows me upstairs.

- I'm so tired.- We both say at the same time and laugh.

- I don't...have any clothes for you to sleep...- I say.

- No problem, I normally sleep only with my boxers.

- Are you saying that you're going to sleep here in your boxers?

- I thought I would sleep in that other room you said the other day...- He smirks.

- Oh, yes yes yes...sure, come with me.- He follows me to the room at the end of the hallway.- Here, hope you sleep well.- I don't want him to sleep here, I want him to sleep in my bed with me.

- Same.- He smiles and kisses me before closing the door. I go to my bedroom and lie down on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I change my clothes and go to bed. Minutes pass by and I can't sleep. It's half past one in the morning.

- Harry.- I try to call him.- Harry!- I call him a little louder and hear footsteps coming.- Harry?- I say again and he opens the door slowly.

- Yeah?- I can't see him because of the darkness, but his voice sounds raspy and deep and I love it when it sounds like that.

- Can you...stay here with me?- He closes the door behind him and I switch on the lamp to find an almost naked Harry. Wow. I try my hardest and don't look down, trying to focus my eyes on his face.

- Sure...- He smiles sweetly and lies down next to me. His back is facing me, even his back is attractive.

- Can you switch off the light please?- He switches off the light. I put my arm around his torso and he puts his arm on top of mine, taking my hand next to his face, I can notice his hot breath on my fingers. I can also feel the beat of his heart with my arm crossing his chest. His skin is hot and soft and makes me relaxed and before I can think about it I come closer to him so our bodies are in full contact with each other.

- Wait.- He says. He turns around and puts both of his arms around me putting me on top of him. My head against his chest, his arms around my waist and my hands under my chest, right on the butterfly tattoo.- Now better.- He says and kisses my forehead.- Good night, baby.- My heart melts and my stomach tickles for the 'baby' at the end of that sentence.

- Good night, I love you.- The words escape my mouth before I can stop them and he tightens his arms around me. His heart beats make me relax and fall asleep quickly.

My alarm clock wakes me up the next morning. I open my eyes slowly to see Harry's chest against my face. His arms are still around me. I cross my arms on his chest and rest my head on them. I stare at him. He looks adorable when he's asleep. I remember he told me he normally gets moody when someone wakes him up too early, so I'll wait untill it's quarter past eight.

I caress his cheek and tangle my fingers through his hair. I caress his cheek again and rest my hand on his chest. He groans when I get up. I turn around and see him with his eyes open.

- Good morning.- He smiles trying not to laugh.

- Let me guess, you've been awake for at least...half an hour.- He shrugs and smiles again.- Good morning.- I say laughing and I sit down at the edge of my bed to caress his face again.

- I wish all my mornings were like this.- I smile.

- Me too...now get up, I'll make some breakfast.- He groans and raises his hand for me to help him.- Oh my god...- I say laughing. I take his hand and instead of getting him out of bed he pulls me on top of him, again.- Harry, if you want me to help you painting those walls you'll have to let me go and get up.- I say. He groans again and I kiss him.
