Chapter 15: I Like You

Shhh

Don’t tell him

It’s for your own good

It’s what fate has decided for you

You have to trust me; believe in me

“Who are you?”

I’m you.......

“Jennifer? Jennifer, wake up.” The voice suddenly stops and I hear another familiar voice speaking to me. I feel hands patting my cheeks. I try to open my eyes but I feel too weak too. “Jennifer?” I hear the voice again. I grunt in response and the hand stops patting my cheek. “I’ll get water.” He says again and I feel the bed shift beside me as he got up to get water.

I bring one of my hands to my head and massage my temples to ease the ache a bit. But it gets only worse. I slightly open one eye and try to adjust my sight with the lights. “Shit.” I curse as I shut my eye again. “Okay, let’s try this again.” I try to push myself up using the support of both my elbows only to fall back on the bed. “Ugh.” And then I feel something hit me, something wet.... like water. Both my eyes fly open. There stands Harry with an empty bucket in his hands (empty because he threw the water on me. duh.), smiling like a five year old, his eyes twinkling with mischief, I couldn’t help but smile slightly. “You know, when I heard you say ‘I’ll get water’ I thought you’ll get water in a glass for me to drink, but thanks you helped me get up.” I don’t even know how my anger drained before building.

“Pleasure is all mine.” He says sticking out his tongue. I laugh at his childish behaviour, you don’t get to see this happy often.

“How old are you? five?” I ask chuckling.

“Well, I actually am twenty but if you say five, then I’m five.” He says smirking.

“Yeah-“ as I speak I get interrupted by my phone ringing. I see the caller id and answer quickly.

“JENNIFERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I’M SORRY I COULDN’T BE THEREEEEE, I HAD SOME PACK WORK. BEING A BETA IS TOUGH WORK YOU KNOW...”

“Nora, stop screaming.”

“Oh, sorry, haha”

“Wait, my birthday? Nora, are you out of your mind? It isn’t till next week.” I look over at Harry and hear him say something that sounded like ‘damn it! I wanted to wish her first.’ “Uh, Nora, I’ll call you later, kay? Bye” and I hang up before she could utter another word.

“My birthday?” I turn to Harry and ask.

“Uh, yeah... you were out for a long time, you know, like sleeping beauty? I kissed you thinking maybe, you know, never mind. Happy birthday, baby.” he says and pulls me into a bear hug. He lifts me up a bit and kisses both my cheeks.

“I was out for a whole week?”

“Yeah, and it scared the living daylight out of me. I missed you... so much.” He says burying his head in my neck. I feel tingles shoot up in my entire body. Suddenly a shiver runs down my spine and I hug Harry back tightly. “I like you.” as those words leave my mouth, my eyes go wide and I mentally smack myself a hundred times for blurting it out. Okay, I know I have liked him from a while now, but I don’t him to be led on. I am soon going to break his trust and now, probably, I’ll break his heart too.

He pulls back and looks into my eyes with same expression as mine. Well, i know he didn’t expect it, but I didn’t know he’d look this shocked. Without uttering a word he presses his lips to mine and pulls me closer. Then he pulls away, “And I love you.” he says kissing my forehead. I sigh and don’t respond. I can’t let this happen. This just can’t happen, he can’t love me.

“Harry, can I ask you a question?” I ask. I just have to.

“Darling, if you’re going to ask me to marry you then I’m afraid I don’t have time to cause’ you know, I’m the Alpha and Alpha’s are really very busy people.” He says and does what we call a ‘fabulous hair flip’

“Damn, now I’ll have to look for someone else to marry.” I say chuckling and when he presses me tighter against him, I realize what I just said. Shit. “I’m just joking.” I say quickly. A gorgeous smile reappears on his face. “But no, seriously, why do you love me, Harry?” I ask looking into his beautiful deep purple eyes.

“That’s the stupidest question you could ever ask to me, but then again, you really are stupid so I’m going to answer anyway. I fell in love with you that first time I saw you, Jenn. The way you were begging a wolf to release you and then threatening him saying he doesn’t know your father... but seriously though, who does that?” he says and laughs.. “Oh shut up.” I say trying to hide my embarrassment. “Also, I love it when you blush, like you’re blushing right now” and I’m sure this made my cheeks go even more red. “I love the way you smile, the way you talk, you look hot when you get angry, but I’m way hotter than you are, just saying.” He says and I smack his arm. “I can’t express my love for you in words, Jennifer, I just love you.. it’s that simple but very complicated. You won’t understand yet, but one day, you will... and that day you will tell me ‘Harry, you sexy beast.. I love you.’”

“I’m not going to call you a sexy beast.” I say laughing along with him.

“That means where will be a day you’ll say that you love me.” he breaths near my ear. “And I will be waiting for that day.” He kisses my ear and releases me from his tight grip. “Come on, let’s go down, you need to eat.” With that he picked me up bridal style and took me out of the bedroom. But before he closed the door, I saw a pair of pitch black eyes looking at me.
