This will still be in Harry's POV

Chapter 10: Stay With Me For Now

"Can I stay with you for the night?"

I can't believe I'm hearing this. Is this for real?

"What?" That's the only word that came out of my mouth.

"Uh, never mind. It-It's stupid anyway. Just forget I said that." She stood up and looked at me. "We should be going."

***

"Thanks for the lunch and also for the dinner." She said as we pull out of the lot. She immediately got out of the car and walked towards her bike. She stopped and turned towards me. She waved goodbye and smiled.

Oh what the heck!

I unbuckled my seat belt and got out of the car. I jogged towards her.

"Andie." I called as I increased my speed for a bit. "You can stay with me!"

She spun around. Her face screaming with confusion.

"Are you sure?"

"110% sure!"

She smiled and I reached for her hand. She held it with no hesitation.

***

"Well this is my place." I opened the door wider for her. She slowly walked in and took her shoes off.

"Wow! Your flat is clean! Didn't expect that from a guy." She smirked.

"I like cleaning things up." I closed the door and took off my jacket and hang it on the rack. She was examining the whole room. She bend a little and looked at some of my pictures.

"I'm gonna go change. Make yourself at home." She nodded and I walked up the stairs.

I grabbed some white shirt and sweatpants. I put my dirty clothes in the hamper. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Now, I look good. I went downstairs. Andie was sitting on the floor, looking at something.

"Found something interesting?" I plopped down on the couch. She turned her head towards me and smiled. She gathered some of the things she had found. Her small hands were having a hard to hold everything. She sat beside me and placed my things on the couch.

"What are you gonna do with that?" I grabbed a CD. She shrugged, a smirk playing on her lips. She was hiding something on her back.

"What is that?" I put the CD down and moved my things.

"Nothing." She sad in a sing-sang voice.

"Let me see." I held my hand out.

"Nope." She said popping the p before giggling. I reached behind her. She instantly place her foot on my chest to block me. I took this opportunity to grabbed her ankle and tickle it. She tittered. She was squirming and kicking me. I chuckled on how desperate she look.

"St-stop it." She managed to say. Her face was now red. Her eyes were close. But her hand was still behind her.

"I won't until you give that to me."

"Fine! Fine!" She handed me a picture. It was a baby picture of me, naked. I forgot that I've got this picture. I looked at her and she was biting her lip.

"If you want to have a picture of me naked, you could just have asked." She rolled her eyes. I grinned at her reaction.

She almost jump off the couch when I leaned closer to her. I sniggered. I got something beside her. I showed her the remote. And she rolled her eyes again.

"Stop rolling your eyes, it might fall ya know." I turned the TV on. We sat there in silence and watched some random show.

I felt my eyelids closing. I looked beside me and saw Andie fast asleep. I carefully tucked a strand of her hair. Her mouth was slightly open. Her chest was moving up and down as she breathe. I can't just wake her up and disturbed her. But she can't sleep in the couch. That's so not gentleman of me.

I grabbed her arm and placed it around my neck. I put my arm under her body and carried her upstairs. I took off her jacket, leaving her with her shirt and jeans. I put the duvet over her. I placed a kiss on her forehead. I grabbed some pillows and went downstairs. I made myself comfortable on the couch. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

ANDIE'S POV

"Stay away from her." He yelled. "Don't fucking touch her." His eyes flashed a wave of anger. Their grip tightened around my wrists. I was too weak to fight. The blow I received on my neck was making me dizzy.

"What are you gonna do about it? Your girl needs to learn a lesson not to mess with us."

I chuckled. "You can't just accept the fact that a girl beat you." He then slapped me. I feel the stinging pain on my cheek. I looked at Adrian who was now yelling something. Two guys were now holding him, blocking him away from me. The guy then gave him a blow on his stomach. Adrian coughed blood. I managed to get away from their grip and attacked the guy. They pulled me again and slammed me to the wall.

"ANDIEEE! ANDIEEEEE!!!!"

I screamed and opened my eyes. I felt my body shaking.

"Andie? Are you okay? What's wrong?" I saw Harry enter the room. He turned on the lamp and sat beside me. He then rubbed circles on my back.

"I-I.. I had a bad dream." I felt my body relaxed under his touch.

"Hey, hey! Sshh! It's okay. It's just a dream." He pulled me in a hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He was whispering something in my ears to calm me down.

Just a dream? If only you knew.

He cupped my face with his hands. He just look at me and I instantly feel safe. He wiped some sweat on my forehead.

"You should go back to sleep. I'll be downstairs if you need me." He tucked me in and placed a kiss on my forehead. He was about to walk when I grabbed his hand. He looked at me and smiled.

"Please don't leave. Stay with me." I practically begged. I was the daughter of a Mafia leader. I never begged. But here I am, wishing he would stay.

He nodded and went to close the door. He came back and lifted the duvet. I turned off the lamp and closed my eyes. I scooted closer to him. His hands was wrapped around my waist. I was too tired to argue and plus I'm the one who made the first move. Complaining won't be a good idea right now.

"Good night Andie."

"Good night Harry."

End of Chapter.
