Criminal

Chapter 34

I woke up the next morning and I was half naked in Harry's arms. He was snoring lightly and he was naked despite his boxers. I smiled thinking about last night.

I don't have a completely vivid memory of what happened but I recall some. If you know what I'm saying.

I sat up and the clock read noon. I sighed but since it was Saturday there was really no issue, I didn't have class and there was no where for me to be.

Harry moved his arm around obviously looking for me in his sleep and I grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight. I don't think it has sunk in that he is actually right here.

I took in a deep breath. He couldn't stay though. I looked over at him sleeping so calmly.

"What am I going to do with you?" I whispered as I brushed his hair out of his face.

Harry woke up at about 12:30. I was still laying down thinking about what I was going to do, what I was going to say.

He pulled his head up onto my shoulder. "Hi," he slurred in his morning voice. I missed that.

"Good morning," I said and smiled back at him. He squeezed my hand that I was still holding.

"I love you," he said and he kissed my cheek and then my lips. I kissed him back softly and then a huge grin appeared on his face. "I've been waiting way too long for that," he said in a tone that made him seem wide awake. I knew he was referring to last night.

I smiled and pushed him back down so he was on his back. "Oh shush," I whined and he started cracking up. After a moment, I joined in as well.

"I love you too," I said and he pushed his arm between the bed and my back, pulling me on top of him.

"I can't lose you again Caroline," he whispered and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.

I couldn't breathe for a moment. I couldn't approach him with an, I'm so sorry, I know we just slept together but you have to go, kind of thing.

"I have school Harry," I replied softly. "My parents are paying a lot."

He groaned and I let my head rest on his chest. I felt his heartbeat right in my ear and it was soothing. I felt his chest lightly move up and down as he drew in every breath.

"I'll have to stay here then." I took a deep breath; of course Harry would say that. He stroked my hair and I felt at peace.

"Please don't worry about it right now," I murmured and he pulled me up and into his arms.

"At least come to SNL tonight."

I looked up and I knew that he already knew my answer. How the hell could I say no?

Harry and I lounged around until I decided it was too late into the day to continue. "Harry, if you really want me to go tonight I hav-"

"I'm taking you shopping, baby, don't worry," he said with a slick smile.

My heart melted at the way he treated me. "I have some money in my-"

"I'm buying you whatever your heart desires," he said swinging his legs over the bed and pulling his jeans up. "I'll call my driver."

I gave him a small smile as he pondered to the corner of the room calling. While he was calling I braided a little front piece of my hit and I tied it into a pony tail. I was wearing skinny jeans and a V-neck navy blue shirt with my black boots. Good enough.

Harry hung up and I turned around. He smiled and handed me my jacket from the bed. "Ready?"

I grinned. "Of course."
