Legendary Mate

chapter 3

I woke up to a soft humming and the feeling of something rubbing my back. It was then I noticed I was wrapped up against another body and by the tingles running through my body I didn't have to see him to know it was harry. I sighed breathing in his woodsy scent and blurred my face into his bare chest. Why he was shirtless I had absolutely no idea but hey I wasn't objecting. "Harry" I mumbled sleepily and buried myself further into his warmth. He put his face in my hair and inhaled deeply. I felt myself beginning to slip away again being lulled to sleep by his steady heart beat. As close as I got to sleep, unconsciousness kept escaping my grasp as waves of heat rolled through my body. I groaned and withdrew from harry, he raised his face and groggily looked at me with disappointment. Ignoring his adorable pout and without thinking I quickly remove my shoes and jacket before climbing back into his comfortable embrace. Just as I was about to slip into oblivion I felt the burning sensation of his lips on my forehead, smiling to myself I once again passed out in his arms, this time it wasn't against my will. 

When I woke up I was no longer cuddled up next to harry matter of fact I wasn't even in his room anymore. The unmistakable smell of my perfume filled my senses and I realized I was in my bed. I sat up and looked around hoping to see him but he was nowhere in sight. I clambered out if my bed and tentatively made my way down the stairs of my home. I heard the sound of the TV coming from the living tuned into the newest football game signifying my father was home. As I made my way towards the kitchen I heard the sound of my mother humming as she chopped something. Upon hearing my entry my mother turned to me with a smile that soon vanished and was replaced with anger as she took me in her eyes narrowing on my face.

"Dammit Faye, I thought we went over this!" My mother shrieked. I stared at her in confusing until I remembered the hand print marked upon my cheek. I sighed, my mother had had a long talk with me about fighting, she didn't like that I did it in London so she made sure to make me promise not to do it here. After my little sister, I went livid and punched anything and everything always trying to release the anger and anguish that kept building up within me.

"She hit me first! I didn't do anything" I yelled back my temper slowly beginning to climb. My mother huffed as if she didn't believe me.

"Why would someone randomly slap you?" She accused.

"I don't know! Harry gave me a ride to school and his girlfriend, well ex girlfriend had a fit and slapped me" I spat angrily.

I was pissed off that my own mother was quick to blame me when she had no clue what happened. She looked at me with shock written across her features. Before she had a chance to recover there was a small knock at the door. I shot her a glare and went to answer the door. There stood a small Lana holding her stuffed dog with a look of concern in her eyes.

"Hello beautiful" I said as I scooped her up into my arms. She immediately nuzzled her face in my neck a habit I noticed she seemed to have with me. She took a deep breath and placed her hand on my cheek. Her touch calmed me and I let any residing anger vanish. This little girl had a power over me I swear. Smiling to myself I carried her up to my room where I sat her down on my bed.

"Let me change out of my clothes really quick ok?" I asked her, she nodded vigorously before looking around my room seeming to take it what she hadn't bothered to notice before. After changing from my school clothes into a simple pair of black spandex shorts and a white long sleeve thermal I put on a pair of socks and exited my closet. Land sat on my bed playing with her small stuffed animal completely oblivious to my entry, or so I thought until she turned around and grinned at me. I had known this little girl for less than forty eight hours and she had already taken up a big part it my heart. I sat down beside her and pulled her into my lap. She sang to herself before she huffed and then groaned in frustration.
