Unpredictable Love

Chapter 89

Karleigh's POV

Three light knocks on my bedroom door startle me awake. I slowly lean forward, careful not to awaken Harry. I'm surprised to see that we're both lying in my bed rather than the floor, Harry must've brought me up here last night.

I climb out of the bed, and pad over to the door. Before unlocking the door, I catch sight of my bare legs.

"Shit." I curse, remembering I'm naked. I grab the robe that's hanging nearby and cover my body with it.

Unlocking the door, I twist the knob opening it slightly.

Aunt Jocelyn's curious face is standing in front of me. I look back over my shoulder at my sleeping Harry, then step out of my bedroom and shut the door behind me.

Aunt Jocelyn and I stood alone in the quiet hallway.

"Company?" She asks.

My eyes move to the floor and I nod slowly. "Harry."

She smiles and nods. "Good." She murmurs, surprising me.

I shift uncomfortably on my feet, not really sure what to say. She clears her throat and looks me directly in the eyes.

"You've got to get your rooming situation sorted for college. You start Monday." Her tone is serious and I annoyingly roll my eyes.

"Lay off, would you? I already knew that I planned on going to the campus today. Besides I need to call my chancellor now that I've gotten my schedule." I calmly tell her.

She seems surprised at my plans and responsibility. "Good, if you need me to I could join. Just let me know." She says before turning and leaving me alone in the hallway.

I let out a long breath, that I didn't know I was holding. My temples ache at the thought of college right now. I'm not the least bit prepared and I haven't looked over my schedule once. I open the door to my bedroom and Harry leans up in the bed.

The sheets that are covering his body, slide down, exposing his bare chest. My eyes linger on the exposed skin longer than necessary but it's hard for me to look away.

"My eyes are up here, Karls." Harry challenges me.

I roll my eyes. "I look at your eyes all the time, I'm just trying to take a look at the rest of you and give your eyes a rest."

Harry chuckles at my cheeky response, and beckons me closer with his finger. As I pad closer to the bed, I untie the robe from around my waist and allow it to drop to the floor as I climb into the bed. The sheets are wrapped around my body once again, and Harry doesn't hesitate to tug me closer.

I rest my face in the crook of his neck and press my lips against his warm skin.

My eyelids flutter closed as I enjoy this moment of being so close to him. His arms serve as a shield of protection as he keeps them wrapped around my waist.

"I seriously do need to go to the college today." I murmur, my lips still against his skin.

"I'll go with you." Harry says in a sleepy voice that makes me want to jump his bones. I shuffle around in the bed, climbing up and straddling his lap.

"You don't have to." I tell him softly.

His large hands grip my sides and with his fingers he tickles my sides relentlessly. Squeals pour from my mouth as I squirm around from his tickling.

"Stooop!" I beg in a squeamish voice.

My hands reach down and grab Harry's wrists, gently tugging them away from my sides in a pleading manor. His hands easily move away from my skin as I remove his touch.
