Carolina And Harry

Chapter Seventeen-Water

Perspiration dripped off me like rain on a clear windshield I would normally watch closely as My dad drove me to school each morning.

I was hot, sweaty and definitely Unattractive in the Running shorts and Yoga shirt.

I ran nearly half a mile and I was already panting like a sick dog for sweet air.

I swore I would keep up my fitness and Health despite My education I still needed to stay energized.

I kept telling myself That it wasn't for harry and was for my own benefit but that slowly dissolved and immediately flushed out of my system.

I was doing this for harry.

Fuck.

I mentally scolded myself and disregarded that thought by running faster and plugging my ears with My beats, forgetting the world and specifically forgetting harry.

I steadied my pace and Ran across the green field as I was nearly

Crossing the cross section I heard faint noises above my music and Slowed down.

It sounded masculine and Raspy.

I turned around and spotted a shirtless Man running towards me as I started to quicken my pace.

I had no time to pause as my instinct told me to Rush in the opposite direction.

I nearly stumbled over a rock and my head phones fell out, Being the dumbass I am, halted and picked them up as I ran.

"Carolina!" The voice yelled again and I looked towards it.

I saw the vision more clearly due to the new up and close proximity and saw the familiar face.

His familiar face.

"Harry?" I chocked and fell backwards toward the cold, hard Grass.

"Ro!" he ran even quicker and reached my damsel in distress body splayed across the ground.

"D-don't C-call me that" I managed to sputter out As I lifted my head.

"Ro-I mean cara let me help you." He reached his tan arm above me.

"Im fine. I don't need your help." i stubbornly protested.

"Cmon Cara." I huffed and accepted his arm as He pulled me up onto his toned body.

"I didn't know you ran" He smirked.

"I didn't know you ran either" I countered , huffing as I backed away.

"Shit, Ro your knee" He gasped and pointed at my scraped knee.

I felt the pang but decided to pay it no mind as I regained my ignorance towards harry.

"I said don't call me that and Its fine. Im fine." I crossed my arms.

"No you're not, You're coming with me." He neared me.

"Yeah and who's going to make-" He interrupted me by grabbing my body and carrying my bridal style across the field.

"Put. Me. Back. On. The. Ground" I seethed throwing my head back.

He laughed and held me tighter.

"No can do. You're just going to have to stay In my strong arms and Be comfortable until we reach my dorm." He smiled.

I was honestly tired and he seemed relentless as he carried me to His dorm building.

"You're really light, Almost weightless, why waste your time running when you can do other things" He winked.

Fuck no.

"Are you fucking kidding me. Was that a sexual Reference? Don't fucking act like you've not been being a dick to me these past weeks!" I gritted and he set me down by his dorm and took out his key.

He did not respond as he picked me back up, carried me into the dorm and set me back down on his blue comforted bed.

"Harry-" I tried but he put his index finger up and headed towards the bathroom.

I huffed and looked around his dorm room, Leo was right, It was as plain as cardboard.

He returned with Antiseptics and band aids and set them beside my bed.

"This is going to sting" he solemnly spoke, Pressing the Medicine on my knee.

I grimaced and he mumbled a few 'Im sorry's' as I squeezed my eyes shut to ease the pain.

He surprised me by grabbing my hand in his, Rubbing his thumb across the back of my hand in a comforting manner.

I hadn't had time earlier to register that he was half naked, and Incredibly appealing in front of me. He was glistening with sweat but had no oder or unpleasant smell to him which was odd.

He finished and stuck the Winnie the poo band aid on my Right knee cap with his other hand.

"Really, Winnie?" I smirked.

"Mock me all you want, He's my favorite." he smiled and stared at my face.

"We seemingly always get injured around each other." I smiled.

"Yeah, True" He laughed.

"Glad we have each other to help patch up the bruises though." He smiled widely.

"Yeah" I agreed

"Im sorry." He said out of the blue.

"For?" I asked unsure.

"I was a dick, I guess I overreacted and It's just hard you know." He looked at the ground.

"What do you mean?" I curiously stared down at him.

"Don't make me explain" He sighed.

"Explain" I sternly Professed.

"I really care-" he was intercepted by the opening of the wooden door across the room.

A seemingly sober Leo steps through and stares at me wide eyed.

Shit.
