Chapter 12: One month

Today's the day. Four weeks, a month since I let my curiosity get the best of me. Four weeks since I won her over. I turn over and see her beautiful glowing body sleep so peacefully. I slowly crawl off the bed and open the balcony doors. I know how much Mia loves the fresh air. I walk down stairs and grab the bowl of fresh cut fruits and two bottles of naked juice. When I set down the bowl, juices and movies I get back to bed.

"Mia, Miabella." I crawl back under the covers. "Mia my sleeping beauty wake up." She scrunches her nose as I shake some of my hair in her face.

"Harry you're going to make me sneeze."  She rubs her nose and I kiss the tip. "Why are you up so early?" I laugh as she ruffles up the too long hair.

"Mia it's nearly 12 and don't tell me you forgot what day it is." I sit up and she shrugs. I fake gasp and turn away to get off the bed but soon I hear the sheets ruffle loudly and soon feel her cold soft hands hook over my chest. She pushes too hard and I lose my step. I see the floor racing to bruise my face till I stop. I could feel the warmth of the wood at my nose.

"Saved yah." She giggles and the wooden planks start to get farther away from me and I can see the bed under me. Mia's arms grip my biceps and I feel like I'm going to fall. "Don't worry, I got you." She smiles and I grip her tighter. Little by little I can feel the bed under us.

"Happy one month anniversary." She leans down and kisses me. I turn us over hearing her sweet laughter.

"Hmm four weeks and seven days in each week that makes three hundred and ninety-nine kisses for each day. She giggles and rolls her eyes.

"Try twenty eight but who's counting."  She jokes. When I laugh I don't know how much I'm pressing into her till I hear a gasp.

"Sorry. I-I didn't me-,"

"Do it again." I look down at her and I can see the nervousness in her eyes.

"Mia you don't have to this isn't why I'm with you."

"I know I, I just I don't know. I just don't want you to leave."

"Leave?" I move from her and she sits up. "Mia I'm not going to leave just because you won't have sex with me." She looks away and drapes her arms over her eyes. "Mia?" I tug at her silk shirt but she doesn't budge.

"We don't have to, Mia trust me. I want to but I also want to respect what you want. Mia are you ready?" Still shielding her eyes she shakes her head. "Then I understand. Once upon a time I was in your spot too okay. Look I have cut fruit and movies I don't know about you but I'm ready to get my Aladdin on." She giggles and I move her arms away from her face.

"There, that's better I can see those crazy gorgeous eyes." She blushes and I lean down and press my lips to hers.

"I love you Harry." The air thins out and I'm shocked. "If you don't want to say it back it's okay. I understand like you understand." She rolls from under me and walks to the small table with movies and fruit and pops in a disk.

I play with her hair as she sleeps next to me with her arms hooked around my stomach. Besides the occasional bathroom visits we haven't moved from the bed. We've watched all the Disney movies she has, both of the Hunger Games and in the middle of the second movie to Twilight Mia fell asleep.

As I aimlessly watch the two love sappy couples it comes to mind that I'm Bella and Mia is Edward minus the shiny skin and gender. I like Bella saw Mia and didn't see a monster when I found out her secret, yeah I was afraid but so was Bella I mean come on as I was running from Mia's house that one day she took the air out of me, literally knocked the wind out of me.
