Real Friends Or Ones of Convenience

Friday Morning

Harry

Mmm..waking up with Nevaeh in my arms, I seriously cannot think of..well maybe a couple other ways but those also involve her so, let's just say waking up with her are the best. I smile to myself just thinking about it.
I lean over to gently peck her forehead, not wanting to wake her peaceful sleep, she's so beautiful.

As I do so she stirs, asking, "did you sleep well, Harry?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, very well, thank you. How about you?"

"Best I have in a while actually"

"I may know a reason as to why that is"  I smile at her.

"Oh yeah, want to share that reason, Harry?"

"Maybe"

"What do I have to do for you to share?"

I pretend to think, rubbing my chin. "How bout a kiss?"

"Very doable"

She then gets up a bit swings her leg over me, now straddling me, leans down and kisses me. "Is this payment enough then?" She smiles

"Damn" I cough "yes, and then some baby. That in a sense is what likely helped you sleep so well. You know our little fun last night" I wink at her. "It helps to relieve stress and relax the body"

"Gotcha" she gives me a thumbs up "maybe we should do more of that then"

"I don't mind, you know how I feel"

She just gets quiet, then gets up.

Way to go Harry. Get her upset  to start the day you shit.

"Baby, wait, please...I didn't mean to say anything to upset you...

"No, Harry you didn't I know how you feel. I just ...well I guess I just don't know how I feel, and I don't want to, I guess use you...

"Stop, just stop right there Nevaeh, you are in no way using me. I am a big boy. I know that you need time and I'm more than happy to give it to you. I love you, and I'm very well aware that it's also new to you...

"Yes, it is Harry, but..

"No buts, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, of course"

"In your own words can you tell me how I make you feel, it's just you and me here baby. No one else."

"Well, when I'm with you, I feel calm. For the first time I think, I feel safe, besides when I'm around Liam, but in a different way. Also like with him though, I feel I can trust you. I don't have that with a lot of people. When I'm away from you and we text, you make me smile, and that's not easy."

"I love your smile, when I get to see it. You wanna know what I think?"

"Sure"

"I think you might be able to love me too, because I feel all that too and more. I get sad when you aren't with me, but when you are going to come over, I'm like a giddy kid, waiting till you get there."

"Now can you tell me something else, how do you feel about children and marriage, honestly?"

"Harry, this is getting into a lot before the others come over today don't you think?"

"Baby, I don't want to upset you or anything, I just want to see if we have a chance or if we are just having fun. I'm hoping I'm the guy you said someone told you that you could marry and have a family with, but if that's not something you ever see happening I'd like to know that too."
