5 days later.
I sighed again as I shut the screen on my laptop. I was extremely restless after spending the last five days in bed. I just wanted to get out, I wasn't used to doing absolutely nothing for so long, but I knew that I had to rest. I glanced at the clock on bedside table to read 10:39 . Harry left to go to the studio at 10:30, which felt like hours ago. An idea popped into my head as I threw the covers off of me and swung my legs over the bed. Maybe I could rest on the couch until Harry was due back and then sneak back upstairs. I stretched my stiff limbs before I padded barefoot over to the door. I eased the door open just in case Harry was lurking. I peeked out and the coast seemed clear, I opened the door the rest of the way and made my way to the railing at the top of the stairs. I was startled when I heard someone clear their throat behind me. I whirled around with my back pressed to the bar and my hands gripping it tightly. Harry was standing there with his arms crossed, eyebrow quirked and a half bemused, half expectant look on his face.
" I- I.. Umm..." I stammered racking my head for an excuse. Harry responded by turning to the side and pointing his finger at the door I exited mere moments ago. He looked at me until I moved. I dropped my head in defeat and plodded heavily back to the bed. I plopped down as Harry came to a stop in front of me.
" I thought you had left." I spoke quietly.
" I had but then I thought better of it and turned back, Just in time to catch you trying to sneak out!" He replied.
I looked up in slight shock.
" Sneak out? I wasn't trying to sneak out! I just wanted to go downstairs on the couch. I've been in this room for days. The bed is permanently indented with my shape. I have cabin fever!" My defensive anwser turned into a groan of complaint. I heard Harry's soft sigh as I sank down in front of me and took my hands. Things were easier with us but still a bit raw and awkward at time. I looked into his eyes and he spoke.
" I know, but you have to follow the doctors orders. She'll be here in two days and I promise, if she takes you off bed-rest, we'll go somewhere. Anywhere you want. Okay?" He had started to rub light circles with his thumb on my hand. I nodded and sat back against the pillows, while Harry fixed the covers back over me.
" Do you still have to go?" I asked.
" Unfortunately, yes. But I'm not sure if I should go." He shot me a joking glare, clearly implying that he thought I'd leave again.
" I won't leave, I swear. I'll just stay here , again, and watch movies , again, and sleep, again." I mumbled the last bit slight trying weakly to guilt him into letting me downstairs.
" Not gonna work, Bethany." He chuckled. " I can call one of the girls to come over and keep you company though, if you like?" I nodded enthusiastically at his suggestion, again having a light bulb moment which I kept to myself. He smiled and took his phone out of his pocket as he walked to lean against the doorframe. If I strained my ears I would be able to hear but I was a bit too lazy right now. About a minute later, Harry sat on the edge of the bed.
" Eleanor's on her way over. Dawn's visiting her mum so she can't come. And don't even think about trying anything with Eleanor. She has been given strict instructions." He told me not breaking eye contact to emphasise his point. I agreed and thanked him as he leaned in to kiss me. Our lips pressed together for a few seconds before he pulled back and rested his forehead on mine.
" I love you." He whispered.
" I love you too." I said looking into his eyes. I could see the reluctance in his expression as he stood up to go. I smiled at him as he turned back at the door. He returned it with a smile of his own before he left. A minute later I heard the start of his car and the wheels crunching on the gravel. I didn't worry about the fact that El was under strict instructions. She's too empathic for her own good and as soon as I plead my case, I'll be out of this bed. I prepared what to say as I heard the front door open downstairs.
