Unpredictable Love

Chapter 51

Karleigh's POV

"Go away." Harry laughs and everyone shuffles about their business. Harry's sister approaches us, smiling hugely with dimples like Harry's.

"I'm Gemma, Harry's older sister. God, you're so beautiful and you two together are adorable. Harry chose well." She showers me in compliments and I smile at her strong personality.

"Thank you, I'm Kareligh and you're gorgeous too." I reply.

Gemma throws her arms around my shoulder, and tugs me slightly away from Harry.

"Gemma, come back here with my girlfriend!" Harry whines, Gemma laughs and she leads me further away.

"How did you guys meet?" She questions with a happy twinkle in her eyes. I laugh lightly and make eye contact with Gemma.

"Well it started with Harry dropping a book on my head at a library. Then I was fairly rude to him, I continued running into him around town and I was convinced he was stalking me. Somehow he managed to convince me to go on a date with him, which I shockingly enjoyed. Now here we are." I decide to leave out a few arguments, that Harry and I have had, and only fill her in on the major details.

"You make him happy, I can see it in his eyes." Gemma is suddenly serious and my heart is hammering like crazy.

"I'm glad that you are sticking by him with everything he's going through at the hospital." She says with a heartfelt smile. I nod, and smile in return.

"Yeah his internship at the hospital keeps him fairly busy, but he finds time for me I guess. It's not that big of a deal." I brush off her concern.

A flicker of emotion that I can't decipher flashes across her face then vanishes. "Internship, yeah." She says, and leads me back to Harry. Her smiley, cheerful persona from earlier has disappeared as she approaches Harry.

"It was nice talking with you, Karleigh." She mumbles and leaves me alone with Harry as she pads across the yard towards her mother.

Harry's POV

Karleigh's getting along greatly with all of my family, she even met Valerie and Vanessa's dad, my Uncle Jared. When we had first arrived she had been so nerve wracked, but not she's not wanting to leave.

"Karls, we've got to leave. We still have a twenty minute drive back home and it's getting late." I insist, and she just out her bottom lip in a pout. My eyes fall to her jutted lip and I subconsciously lick my lips.

I smooth my thumb across her bottom lips and tease it between my fingers. Her blue eyes flutter closed momentarily before they open again. "I'm staying with you tonight, right?" She asks, and I nod.

"Alright, I'm ready to go." She breathes out in a warm breath. I smirk and lace her fingers through mine, as I lead her towards my Gran to say our goodbyes.

"Leaving so soon?" Gran complains as she wraps her arms around Karleigh. "Take care of my Harry." Gran whispers to Karleigh and Karleigh promises her she will. I glance around the yard and see Gemma standing by my Mom's side, I smile at her and she furrows her brow at me.

"Bye Gran. I say, hugging my grandmother briefly and walking across the heard towards my mom and sister.

"Mom, Sis, Kalriegh and I are leaving." I say as I hug my Mom first then Gemma. Gemma doesn't wrap her arms around me, and I look at her, confused.

"Don't keep lying to that girl Harry, she deserves to know. She told me about your internship." Gemma scolds me and I sigh.

"Gemma I have every intention of telling her, just not right now." I insist. Gemma shifts her glare to my Mom. "And you Mom, are wrong for going along with it."

"Goodbye Gem, bye Mom." I kiss both of them lightly on the cheek, and walk back to Karleigh who is now hugging my Aunt Beth goodbye.

"Alright babe, I'm ready." She tells me and I nod, taking her hand and leading her to my car.

*******************************

When we pull into the parking lot of my apartment complex, I walk to the trunk of my car to grab Karleigh's bags and bring them inside. She's already waiting by the front door when I climb up the steps to the door of my apartment.

Her back is against the door to my apartment and those blue eyes that I've come to love so much, are staring at the ground. When she notices me approaching a sly smile grows on her face.

I raise a curious eyebrow at her, and she beckons me closer with her finger. Without hesitation, I set her bags down and step closer to her. She snakes her hands around my necks and brings me down to her level, pressing her soft lips against mine.

My mind is hectic as she draws me in with her passionate kiss. All of my senses are disorientated by her, her tongue traces the inside of my mouth, she teases my bottom lip with her teeth.

I cup the bottom of her thighs in my hands, and wrap her legs around my waist. I press my chest against hers, and press her back further against the door. Her hands are running through my hair and she's tugging slightly. A weak moan falls from my lips at her actions, and I can feel her smiling into the kiss.

I pull away and look at her. "What was that for?" I ask. She smiles, and shrugs.

"I've been wanting to do that all day." She breathes, resting her forehead against mine. My lips are numb, my body's tingling in reaction from her touch.

I gently set her back onto her feet and grab her bags, opening the front door and trailing inside my apartment to my bedroom.

Karleigh shuts the bedroom door behind her, and her eyes never leave me as I set her bags down beside my bed.

"Can you unzip my dress?" She murmurs, and turns around, lifting her hair up so I have more access. I pad across the room to her and brush my fingers against her neck as I unzip her dress. Her back is exposed after I unzip her, and she doesn't hesitate to let her dress pool at her feet.

My eyes take in her bare skin, all of her body exposed with the exception of her bra and underwear. Her long, blonde hair runs down her shoulders and back, my eyes are glued to her.

She grabs a t-shirt from her bag and climbs into my bed, beside me. She bats her long lashes at me, and my heart pounds in my chest. Her hands link around my abdomen and she slides herself closer to me.

Warm air fans out from her slightly parted lips. She tilts her chin towards me and brushes her lips against my jaw. Her warm mouth sucks and nibbles on my neck and she leans up. Each of her knees straddle my waist, my back down on the bed.

The t-shirt that she's wearing rides up her legs, exposing much of her thighs. Dainty hands slither down my chest and tug at the ends of my shirt, before pulling it off over my head. Karleigh's blue orbs glance up at me then back to my chest, as she traces random lines on my chest with her finger nails.

My breathing hitches as she continues her gentle assault on me. Her mouth comes back down against mine, and my hands rub up and down her spine.

Our lips move together in sync, warmth growing in the air of my bedroom. Karleigh freezes, and looks into my eyes.

"Touch me, like you did in the bathroom?"Her soft voice pleads with me and I give a subtle nod.
