Undeniable~ A Harry Hook Fanfic

Ch. 17 "i cant let that happen"

Amber

Turns out I was sick. That's why all the noise got to me, why I felt light headed and dizzy. Harry spent the last few days fussing over me as he did when I got hurt. He made sure I had soup and what little medicine he was able to find and steal.

I kept telling him I was fine and he could go about his business, but well what can I say except, the boy don't know how to listen.
A lot of sleeping and waking up to see Harry still there on his bed watching over me. Occasionally he'd be asleep.

Now it's a couple days later and I'm feeling much better. I stand there watching the rain through the window. Harry asleep, curled up in his bed to a pillow and snoring softly.

I look over at him and smile to myself. Moments like this, it's really hard to believe he's a blood thirsty pirate. Sure I see a lot of his sadistic side towards people, but others don't get to see what I do. The soft, the caring, the absolutely vulnerable sides of him.

He starts muttering in his sleep as he winces and slightly struggles in his sleep.
I walk over to him and gently run my fingers through his hair, shushing him quietly.
His eyes flutter open sleepily as he looks at me but it's easy to tell he's not all there yet.

He grabs me and pulls me over him on to the bed, leaning over me. His hands placed on the bed by each side of my head. His face so close to mine I can feel his breath on my lips.

I push my hands against his chest as panic rushes through me, "Harry!"

He blinks at me in confusion as if just now waking up.

His eyes go wide and he flies off the bed, " I'm so sorry! I don't know what I was thinkin'!"

I sit up and rub the back of my head looking at the ground, "it's fine, you were having a bad dream and then wasn't fully awake."

I look up to see him lean his head and arms against the wall, staring down at the ground as the side of his fist slightly hits the wall.

Harry

I curse myself for losing control like that. Knowing full well how jumpy she can get around me. I hit the wall I'm leaning against slightly. Every time I take one step forward, I end up taking two steps back.

I freeze when I feel her arms wrap around me. I didn't even hear her get off the bed.

She rests her head on my back and whispers, "it's ok Harry, I promise."

I sigh. It's really not. If only you knew how careful I have to be around you so you don't pull away or worse, leave again.

I loosen her arms and turn around pulling her to me as I lean back on the wall with my shoulders and wrap my arms around her. She doesn't struggle or pull away. She instead wraps her arms back around my waist. Her head now resting on my chest.

I rest my chin on the top of her head.
How would you react if you knew the things I've thought? The things I've wanted to do? Would you still stand here holding me? Or would you walk out that door, and me never see you again?

No matter what it takes, no matter how much I have to fight myself back, I can't let that happen.

A/N sorry this chapter is short, but i think it's better left as this. The feels though. Wonder what he's holding back? Is he afraid he's gonna hurt her? Maybe he's trying not to be sadistic towards her? Does he force the softness she sees? Or... is it something else entirely? Stay tuned to find out~ 😜

Now you will question and be tortured by this until the truth is out~ #GetWrecked 😂😂
