Chapter 27: Wherever I'm with You

I'll follow you into the park,
Through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I've never loved one like you

Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

I SOFTLY BOUNCED on the bed like a feather next to Harry with a deep sigh, my chest rising and falling faster than usual. Our bodies were glistening, wide grins on our faces, and an overall feeling of satisfaction surrounding us. We were utterly spent and sensitive after hours of consuming each other in the most perfect way, movements in sync, and shared eagerness.

It was almost dusk, the sky growing dark outside when we pulled the white flag and decided to get some rest. I think Harry said something about ordering room service for dinner. I tried to reply, and even when I was famished, my exhaustion made it impossible to react, my eyelids fluttering shut. I felt his arm sliding across my stomach and pulling me towards him, our bodies fitting together like a perfect puzzle. I peacefully inhaled and let my consciousness swirl into the depths of my dreams.

I wasn't sure what time it was when my eyes lazily opened up to a peaceful room where the light crept in softly through the shades. I was in the exact same position I fell asleep at, Harry's arm still holding me close.

Comfortable in his embrace, I silently watched how dust particles playfully danced among the rays of the sun. I tried to remember a moment where I felt so complete but I couldn't. The overall feeling of happiness that was taking over me was entirely new. I loved people before that, I felt happy in many moments of my life, I achieved things most people could only dream of; but at that exact second a meteorite could fall from a remote place in the galaxy landing on our bed destroying everything on its way and I would die with a full grin on my face. I had everything I never thought I needed.

A tingle in my stomach made me flick recalling what that room had witnessed only a few hours before. How we fell once again into a spell only the two of us knew about. My fingers slowly ghosted my lips, his taste lingering in my mouth. I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip remembering how my toes went numb as I reached my peak over and over again, it was a reaction I only had when I was with him. My whole body lost control under his touch. At that moment we were probably as close as one can be to another person, wrapped and entangled in each other's bodies and it was ridiculous, but I longed for him as though he was miles away from me.

I slowly turned around trying to avoid waking him from his peacefulness. I smiled when I finally faced him. His right cheek pressed on the pillow, his lips in a soft pout, and his breathing calm and steady. His eyes suddenly squeezed as if he could sense I was watching.

"Liv?" he asked softly, his eyes still shut and I beamed. 

"Baby..." he mumbled again.

"I'm here, H," I cooed and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Love you," he breathed and rolled onto his back taking me with him.

I laid beside him, my head resting on his chest. Pressing my ear to his heart, the calming rhythm of his pulse slowly soothe me back to sleep.

It was the ringing of a phone what made me gasp back from my doze. I could tell by the noises and the light that a couple of hours had passed by. I gently tapped Harry's arm to wake him up, he was sound asleep but managed to grab the phone and hummed a few unintelligible words before hanging up.

He then turned and face me, wrapped his arms around my body, and tightly pulled me into a melting embrace. We remained in that same position for an eternity until he slightly pulled away to kiss my temple.

"I have a show today," he whispered in the usual raspy voice he had when he woke up, "I want to call in sick and stay here with you."

I giggled and kissed his cheek, "You wouldn't do that to your fans..."
