I just got back from a long day away from home. It was already late at night and all I want to do now was relax and even sleep. If only I could go on vacation away from here right now.
I walked into the living room to watch a movie or two before actually fall asleep. Movies help me relax which makes it easier to fall asleep despite the screen lighting up the room. When I walked in, someone was already sitting on the couch. I recognized that head full of curls from somewhere. "Harry what are you doing here?"
He turned around and smiled when he saw me. "I've been waiting for you," he answered. "Caroline, will you join me? I'm feeling a little lonely here by myself."
I giggled and could feel myself starting to blush. Without hesitating, I took a seat next to him. He picked up a stack of DVD cases and handed them to me. I quickly looked through them and held one up. "Can we watch this? Please," I begged him.
He switched the disks and he returned to sit next to me. Once the movie started I felt him put his arm around me. He moved closer to me. I am tightly in between him and the arm of the couch. "Harry," I whispered looking up at him.
He turned to look at me, and he was closer than I expected. I could feel his warmth radiating onto me. I wanted to stay like this for the whole movie. "I'll be back," he said getting up before I could do anything to stop him. It was as if he read my mind and trying to torture me.
The air suddenly became cold around me now that he left. I am tempted to turn on the heater to keep warm. Instead, I watched him leave into one of the bedrooms. What could he be doing there? Hopefully he returns soon.
A few short minutes later he returned with a blanket. He sat down and places the blanket over both of us. He moved his legs next to mine.
"Caroline," Harry whispered after a moment of silence between the two of you. Obviously neither of you were watching the movie anymore. "Can we move this cuddle session to the bed?"
"Sure," I agreed with him. "Besides I feel like I'm going to fall asleep any minute now."
"Me too," he said. "It'll be a nice way to end the day."
Harry stood up and picked me up bridal style. How nice of him to carry me; it's like he knows how tired I am. He gently set me down on the bed and quickly went to the other side. After taking a big breath, he laid down next to me and pulled the blankets above us.
His shining green eyes were staring directly into my eyes. I felt his arms reach around me, and he hugged me close to him. The butterflies are starting to be in my stomach.
We stayed like this and neither of us wanted anything to change. I tried to keep my eyes open but couldn't, as much as I wanted to. I hope I can wake up this way too.
