Too much

Chapter 20

"You should really get some sleep, baby." Harry whispers as I lay with my head on his chest.

After he settled down when I told him about Max kissing me, we continued our small interrogation, asking each other of things we like to do, what we hate, things like that as we laid together in the bed.

"I know," I nod, but I want to take in every last moment I can of this perfect night with him. I have an unsettling feeling inside telling me that when this night ends, everything will go back to the way it was.

Harry will go back to being an ass when he's with his friends, and I will have to deal with the repercussions of his behavior. As much as I want to believe everything he has said and done, it's impossible for Harry to just change his personality in the matter of a few days.

Between his fingertips massaging my scalp and the stream of thoughts running through my mind, I eventually drift off as he holds me to his chest.

"Addie, you have to get up if you want to stop at your house to change." Harry shakes me awake wearing his boxers only.

"What time is it?" I groan as the sunlight temporarily blinds me.

"Almost 6, come on." He pulls the blanket from me and I quickly pull it back to cover my almost naked body.

"I need to shower," I say running my hands through my tangled mess of hair.

"Let's go." He orders and takes me hand, yanking me from the warm comfort of the bed.

"Uh, I'm not showering with you.."

"Why not? Adelaide, I've already seen you naked. It's just a shower anyway." He laughs.

"You go first." I ignore him. It's not that I'm self conscious of my body, but how tempting it will be to have him in there when we need to get to school.

"Okay fine we won't, but you go first. God knows you girls take forever and I can go without one."

"Thank you." I smile, pleased that I didn't let him change my mind.

I rush through my shower so we have time to go back to my house. When I get out, I see that Harry had left a pile of clothes for me to change into.

I smile with the smell of his scent is covering the shirt and sweatpants he left. They're far too big for me, but they'll do for just the drive.

"Are you ready?" Harry says as soon as I emerge from the bathroom. His hair is pushed back and contained by a gray beanie. I didn't think this guy could get anymore attractive; but damn, was I wrong.

"Yeah, thanks for the clothes."

"You look good in them." He winks and takes my hand to lead me to his car.

"Addie, we're going to be late!" I laugh when Harry groans from the other side of the door. I had to quickly change so I wasn't wearing the same outfit as yesterday.

"Settle down, I'm ready!" I come out dressed in some different jeans and my warm knit sweater. I'll just have to let my hair air dry, I don't have time to do anything with it.

He practically drags me back out to his car. I don't know what his rush is, but it's cute how he is acting.

"So how are you?"

"I'm great and yourself?" I smile as we drive to school.

"No I mean.. Like after last night? Because of your parents... Because of me?" He asks wearily.

"Oh.. I'm better. It was just a lot to handle, I'll get over it." I explain.

"What about us? Are we okay?" He pulls off his beanie and rakes his fingers through the curly hair before putting it back on.
