The soft feeling of my velvet duvet tickles my cheek ever so lightly, making my eyes open and take in the strip of sunlight that's made its way through my blackout curtains. I squint and yawn before I stretch my arms and legs out, stopping immediately when I feel my leg touch something next to me. My eyes widen as I turn and notice Harry on the other side of me, sound asleep in a fetal position, his hair covering part of his face as he curls into the dark green comforter.
I slowly pull my leg away, hoping not to wake him, not quite ready to talk about everything that happened last night. I sit up, not realizing Harry's hand was draped across my middle, making his hand flop down to my lap as I sit against my headboard. I stare down at his hand, slowly rubbing my eyes, feeling my body ache a bit as a small migraine begins to spread to my temples.
I carefully reach across to my bedside table to pour two capsules into my hand before popping the powdery pills in my mouth, hoping that the medication will help my aching subside a bit. I must've slept tightly in a ball to give Harry enough space. My queen sized bed is quite roomy, but I've never shared it with someone else before.
I grab my phone from next to me and quickly send Kim a text saying that I plan on coming back to the shop today since being cleared. I really just want to get out of this confined space I'm in. I need to spend some time in another environment to help my mental sanity, so hopefully returning back to work does the trick.
Feeling my phone buzz next to me, I open my phone and see a text from Kim saying she's excited to have me back. I nod to myself before turning off my phone and quietly slipping out of bed, leaving Harry's hand to lay sprawled out on my side, his ringed fingers curled a bit on the mattress.
I shuffle over to my closet and pick out a navy blue sweater and black jeans before glancing over at Harry's peaceful body across from me. He stays still, his breathing deep and peaceful as he remains in the same spot, seeming unbothered at the moment. I smile to myself before heading to my door, quietly opening it and slipping out, making my way towards the bathroom.
Once I've showered and made myself look somewhat decent, I fix my bangs using my straightener to curl and shape them to cover my scar. I take another look at myself once I feel happy with the results and head down the hallway, smelling freshly made coffee and the sound of Judy humming to herself as she bangs around the small kitchen.
"Morning, bug!" Judy greets me as I step in the kitchen, popping two slices of bread in the toaster.
"Morning, Jude," I say going to grab a coffee cup and pouring the hot coffee in, grabbing the creamer and adding a splash of vanilla to the cup before stirring the drink with a spoon.
"What time did you go to bed last night? I thought I heard some noises coming from your room. Couldn't sleep?" she asked, buttering one side of the toast, glancing at me for a second before looking back down at the knife and toast in her hand.
