Harry's POV.
Grace is staring out of the windows, on her lips that smile I've missed so much, she's playing with my hand. I caress the inner of her thigh and she shakes her head before turning to look at me, she looks a bit lost but in a good way. she's not sad, just distant.
'' Pensive, are we?'' I break the silence and Grace leans against the seat closing her eyes. Her small fingers embracing mine and I squeeze.
''Very'' she admits but I don't dare ask anything else, first because asking things to Grace scares me to death after the last time. You know, when she doesn't say things to me, she has good reasons and most of the times, I really don't need to know them; second because I don't want to force her into anything. We're making little progresses, step by step taking our time.
''I'm going to search for a job'' I blurt out and Grace smiles surprised at me. I've just decided, but I need money. it may not buy happiness, but I need it if I want to pay for the rent of our apartment.
''What are you going to do? You could ask Lee, I'm sure he will help you'' she tries but I shake my head. It's not that I would not like working for Lee and have Grace under my control 247, we both need our space and, I want to find something by myself, using my own forces. I can do a lot of things, I will sure as hell find the right job for me.
'' I know he will, and believe me the idea of having you there in those shorts turns me on badly, but I've always had people who gave me almost everything every time I needed it, I've never gained anything, I've never really fought for anything besides you, I feel like it's time to grow up and face the world. I can't live in my crystal bell for the rest of my life'' she nods, pride shining in her eyes. I haven't said anything special, just the truth, still there it is, a smirk on her face as I've just told her she's the most beautiful creature on earth.
'' You...'' she starts then bites her lips before unbuckling the seatbelt. After the click, her arms don't take too long to reach for my neck and hugging me tightly. I make sure to pull over as I suffocate under her little embrace.
''Grace'' I cry out; she's stroking me for real. '' I can't.'' Grace jumps on her seat again and blush for the embarrassment, pulling her shirt nervously, as if she has done something really bad and just got caught.
'' I'm sorry, I don't know... what...'' I get rid of my belt and grab her face with my hands crushing my lips to hers. She winces but then response to my gesture.
''you're a crazy girl'' I whisper pulling playfully a strand of her hair. she smiles and peeks at my lips, her tongue lingering on my lower one as she's testing something delicious.
'' I take it as a compliment'' she giggles and I wink at her brushing my nose to hers.
''Everything I say to you, everything I think about you, will always be a compliment'' she rolls her eyes and pushes me away, not really happy about my cheeky words, or better, she's happy, just doesn't like to let me know how much my words can reach for a spot no one has the right to touch, her heart.
