To be so lucky {H.S.} ✔️

Chapter 14

Harry spent the night at my place, keeping me safely in his arms the whole time we slept. Oscar, who had been miraculously absent during our little naked waltz, had jumped on the bed to curl up next to us, at some point. If I hadn't set up an alarm, I could have easily slept until noon.

Monday was here, though, which meant I had to work.

"Noooo..." A sleepy Harry mumbled when I started moving, trying to step out of his warm embrace.

"I have to go, I have a meeting in an hour. But you can stay, sleep." I kissed his forehead, caressing his gorgeous mess of curls.

Harry's arms still refused to let me go. He had his eyes closed, drawing me closer to his body until his face was hidden between my still naked breasts.

"Or," I said, feeling my core start to tingle "you can get your ass out of bed, and come take a shower with me."

One second I was in Harry's arms, the next one he was out of bed, standing naked in the middle of the room. "I'm up! Shall we go?"

I laughed, covering my face with my hands. He was right about the 'up' part.

Once Harry realised how literal his words were, he turned around, covering himself with his hands. He looked at me over his shoulder, his cheeks painted in a delicious tone of red. "Err... Sorry."

Fiddling with the sheets, I managed to get out of bed too, approaching him to hug his body from behind. I kissed the skin on his back, before dropping my arms to take his hand.

"Come."

Harry let himself be guided to the bathroom. We took our time in the shower, kissing, feeling, loving each other. I would be the happiest person on planet Earth if all my mornings started like that.

However, as happy and fulfilled as I was, our perfect moment in the shower cost me the little time I had to eat breakfast, before I met with the development team on video call.

"There's fruit in the fridge, cereal, and bread in the pantry. Just help yourself to anything you'd like." I said as I slipped on a pair of black leggings and a flowy blue top with a V neck.

"Is that your working attire?"

Looking down as I combed my hair into a tight ponytail, I was confused. "Why? What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing, I guess. To each their own."

I slipped on a pair of alpaca shaped slippers, and only then did I understand Harry's observation. Giggling, I explained: "I work from home. My colleagues can only see the upper part of my body. That's why I'm all business up here" I gestured to my blouse, "and leisure down here."

Harry laughed, throwing his head back. "Makes sense."

I kissed him on the lips, before quickly grabbing my phone. "I'll be in my study room, please feel free to stay and do whatever you want. Mi casa es su casa."

"Wait, you're not eating breakfast?"

"I can't. I'm already late for the meeting."

Harry stood up, pulling me into his arms. "You go work, woman. I'll make you something to eat."

With a grateful smile, I kissed him again, before running out of the room. Harry managed to slap my butt one more time before I left, so naturally, I was still giggling when I joined the meeting.

"Good morning, guys! I'm so sorry I'm late!"

My colleagues, who were already chatting, stopped to greet me.

"Hey, Nina! It's okay. We're still waiting for Rowan anyway." John said, with a shrug. His baby cat, Obi, was sleeping on my colleague's shoulder.

"How was your weekend, Nina?" Alexandra asked.
