Grace's POV.
It's all black, my sight it's just too blurred to let me see anything.
Nathan takes the phone away from my fingers and places It on the ground, his hands are so gentle on my skin as he strokes my cheeks.
''Grace?'' he calls for me and I raise my head, I'm suffocating, and it's like I'm in a plastic bag that is restricting every second more. '' you can't breathe?'' he asks and I nod, unable of doing anything else. Nathan moves behind me and his tips reach for my neck.
''I gonna take the dress off okay? I won't look I promise Grace'' he murmurs as the Zip starts to go down. I turn around and grab his wrists, I don't want him to do this. ''Grace. I will do you no harm. Trust me okay?'' I look into his blue eyes, stare deeply into them. they are clear, no trace of madness or bad. just a sky in the morning where the sun shines and everything is fine. Damien trusts him, that's a good reason for me to have faith in him too. he wouldn't have let him come after me if I couldn't trust him.
So I let him. He takes the zip all the way down but I couldn't help thinking, it shouldn't be his, the hands on my skin right now. maybe it's not this that is hurting me, it's not the humiliation I'm receiving by letting him take care of me, perhaps it's just the fact that I don't accept anyone else touching me or seeing me the way that Harry already did.
He helps me out of the dress without looking at my body as he has promised and the relief is almost immediate, my lungs comes back to life and even if the room spins a bit, I can already see the colours, no dark anymore. he carefully wraps a towel around my shoulders and I meet his gaze, he seems worried. He then kneels down and starts to take off my shoes too, one after the other slowly, lingering on my body.
''Better?'' He inquires as he stands in his tall figure. His jacket goes off as well and is pulled over my shoulders as he comes so close that no distance is left in between us. ''Where does it hurt?'' he murmurs and I do not answer so he sits me on the sink. My stomach twists as he touches me. he moves his hands almost placing them on my bare thighs but he thinks again and rest them on each side of my body, his forehead on mine, not putting too much pressing, otherwise I will fall backwards.
I squeeze myself into the towel again and Nathan fixes his jacket better.
''You fainted'' he says and I blush because it's not like me having this kind of attack '' you kept asking for help. Kept asking for a person in particular'' my head snaps up and my heart breaks again.
I called him, he didn't answer. now I clearly know what Kira felt. It sucks so much. '' you kept asking about...him'' his hands move up to my face and I freeze. '' why you keep asking about a person who does not care'' I shake my head. That's not true, Harry cares. I'm sure he has a good excuse to this, I'm sure I will believe him the second he will tell me the truth. I know that. I trust Harry, he never let me down.
