Jennifer's POV
As I continue studying, I glanced at the clock and it's 2 in the morning.
I yawned as I stretched my arms. Then I looked at Harry who fell asleep on the headboard while Charlize is in his arms, peacefully sleeping
I smiled, they're so cute together
By just seeing Harry as a father just makes me happy
I stood up from the chair and pulled the blanket to cover them. I gave them a kiss
No matter how I try to ignore what he said at the beach, I still can't forget it.
Is he not ready to marry anyone someday? Is he not ready to ask me to marry me?
I know he's been hurt, a lot because of what happened between him and Sandra...
And I understand it. I understand him...
But I still can't hide that I'm hurt. Still.
Knowing that it's been several years and he still can't move on because of that and it makes me think that, her impact to him is still that huge that no matter how many years had passed. He still can't forget the pain he had with her
But he loves me now...
I know
Maybe I should just wait for him to see clears things until he's fully good.
I am willing to stay because I love him...

The Next Morning
Harry found a babysitter for Charlize but we both drove her to her school first before we proceed to our school
"Good Luck for your practical exam. I know you'll nail it.!" Harry said as he squeezed my hand and I just took a deep breath
We're still here inside his car at the parking lot of the school
And today is our anniversary...
But I haven't told him about it. I'm testing him If he still knows
"I wish you'll be my partner there.." I said in a low and a sad tone. I just miss doing school activities with Harry like we used to back then and I miss those times when we were studying in the library and I miss him touching my hand every time we go inside the campus together
But today isn't really like yesterday and I have to accept that
"Don't worry. I support you and I'm always there even though I can't go near you inside the campus." He said as he caresses my knee
I smiled
"You're right, Mr. Connick. You can't go near me inside the campus.." I said biting my lip then his hand that still on my knee went up to my thigh and I can't help it but to feel chills...
His touch is all I want to feel not just his pure love to me
"But we're not yet inside the campus, Jen.." He said leaning his face closer to me until I felt the warmth of his breath on my skin
"So I guess, I can be this close to you.." He said in a husky tone
He said still caressing my thigh
"H..harry, don't do this to me.." I said breathing hard. He's making me weak
He didn't mind me and instead of removing his hand off it,
I grabbed his necktie to me and kissed him on his lips. A kiss that we both don't want to end
He deepened the kiss as he introduces his warm tongue to me, still, his hand is caressing my thigh
