Fiendish

Chapter 50

It's not a walk in the park to love each other, but when our fingers interlock I can't deny you're worth it.

-Paramore, Still Into You

Carmen's Pov.

"So, where exactly-"

"For the one hundredth time, I'm not telling you." Harry cut a playful glare at me and I laughed.

I rested back against my seat and toyed with Harry's fingers that were on my bare thigh. Once Harry's warm hand made contact with my bare skin, I knew I made the right choice when I put on my light blue romper.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked and I looked up at him to see his eyes watching me. There was a smile on his face as he coasted to a stop at a red light.

"Playing with you're ring." I said and twisted his thumb ring. It was a metal band with intricate designs on it that made it slightly hypnotic. "It's pretty."

"It's not fucking pretty." Harry squeezed my thigh and I laughed. "It's manly as hell."

"Right, because a thumb ring screams 'I'm a man'." I replied sarcastically and Harry removed his hand from my thigh and poked at my side. I twisted in my seat to try to avoid his finger.

"Don't make me turn this car around, missy." Harry said as he began to drive again.

I laughed as Harry poked my sides and I grabbed his finger, throwing his hand away from me. The light turned green and Harry began driving again. He had a smile on his face and he looked incredibly adorable like this, it made my heart soar.

"Missy?" I asked and relaxed against my seat when I knew Harry was done tormenting me. "Is that another nickname now?"

"Oh yeah," Harry said and took my hand is his. "I have a bunch others, too, but I have a feeling those may just get me slapped."

My mouth dropped open in shock and Harry let out a deep, husky laugh that made me shiver...in a good way of course.

"So, what, you call me names behind my back?" I asked and slapped his hand.

"Not the type of names your thinking about." Harry smiled, but kept his eyes on the road. We hit some traffic and I scowled at all the cars ahead of us. "The names I'm thinking of are adorable actually."

The traffic was moving slowly and, for once in my entire life, I didn't mind. Once I came to New York I learned about the pure agony of big city traffic. I almost cried behind the wheel of my car and that day immediately became one of the worst experience in my life. But, sitting here with Harry in the middle of traffic...wasn't so bad.

I'd be lying to myself if I said I wasn't going to remember this moment for the rest of my days.

"Ok, then I want to hear one." I told Harry. "You've already called me princess, baby, babygirl, and now missy. What else you got, Harold?"

Harry cast me a side glance and had a smirk on his face. His eyes held a glint of mischief and I adored that.

"Ok, fine then." Harry said and I waited. "Not only is there baby, babygirl, princess, and missy, but also kitten, babydoll-"
