Chapter 10
Harry's POV:
When we got in to the house I kicked my shoes off and went to lean against the counter. I pulled out my phone and decided to tell Nate where I was since he has been texting an calling me all night. He is like a clingy boyfriend.
"You never told me why you were keeping me hostage here?" She said. She didn't really sound angry, but she didn't sound thrilled about the idea either.
"I know your dad's not home and I'm sure you get lonely there. I live alone and I get pretty lonely here. With you hereit fixes eachothers problem." I totally just winged that. Now the part about "I know your dad's not home" Is true. That might be the only part that is a fact.
"How did you know my dad wasn't home?"
"His car."
"Humm...now your a stalker?" I turned around to face her. She was smiling with her arms crossed over her chest. I opened my mouth to say "No I just have to drive past your house almost every fucking day, and I'm pretty observant!" but I decided not to say anything. I closed my mouth and looked back at my phone.
"Oh, and I don't have any extra clothes." She said. I sent my last text to nate before slipping my phone back into my pocket. I sighed and ran my fingers through my nasty wet hair.
"I'll show you a room." I said and started walking down the hallway then took a left around the corner to get to my room. I would have let her take the other room, but all it has in it was a futon. Besides, this gives me a reason to sleep with her. I waited for her to catch up to me before opening the door.
When she finally walked up beside me I pushed the door open. "You can stay in here." She took a step inside and looked all around the room.
"This is awesome." She said. I don't see whats so awesome about it. It almost all white. Ever since I moved in I've been too lazy to decorate or paint any room in the house.
"Glad you like it." I said and snaked my arms around her waist. I was surprised when she didn't try to push me away. "Sometimes it's so bright and bare that I can't sleep in it all the time."
"Wait, so this is your room?" I nodded, I didn't know if she could see me or not. "I don't want to kick you out of you own room. If there is another room I'll take that, or even the couch." She spun around in my arms.
I chuckled, "Baby, don't be silly." I placed my face in the crook of her neck and gently kisssed her right below her ear. "I was going to sleep in here with you." I gave her neck another kiss.
"No." she let out this awkward nervous laugh, "I'll take the couch." She went to walk away, but I stopped her. She isn't gettin away that easy. Her trying the leave me made me a little pissed off.
"You're going to sleep in here, period." I said through gritted teeth. I saw her nodd and wince a little, and when I looked down I saw that my hand was wrapped around her wrist pretty tightly. I let go and she walked back into the room. I went over to the landry room to get her a warm shirt and shorts out of the dryer. When I finally found something that looked like it wouldn't be too big for her I sat them ontop of the machine and sighed.
I don't want to scare her off. Not like last time. I don't want her to get sucked into my world either. I don't need a repeat of what happened three years ago.
I walked back into the room and saw her over by my desk looking at the pictures. she better not ask about them. I don't want to explain my self the first night she is here.
"Here." I said, startling her. when she turned around her chest was almost touching mine. I kept looking in her eyes as if I might find something in them. My eyes involuntarily went to her lips. I blinked my eyes to shake my self from the thoughts of what her lips are capable of. I was about to tell her where to change and all but she spoke first.
"Who are those kids?" She asked referring to the picture of Marcus, Landon, and I in the sand box when I was about three or four.
"Cousin," I pointed to Marcus, "and brother." I sighed pointing to Landon.
"You have a brother?" she looked at me suprised. She looked kind of adorable when her forhead crinkles in confusion. Harry stop!
"Had."
"What happened?"
"Haven't heard from him in a while. I guess he disowned me too." Landon and I were always close. When I left the house leaving him alone to deal with our father I left him a note with my number telling him to call me if he was ever in trouble. He never has. I felt my breathing pick up at the thought of him and my father alone.
"Too?" Cam asked again. My eyes snapped up and hers widen. She needs to learn not to get into people's personal lifes.
"Why all the questions? I'm not interesting. All you need to know is that my childhood was hell and I still have to pay for it everyday!" I yelled. I could see her physically flinch with every word. I heard her let out whimper after I was done spitting my venom at her.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I shouldn't have done that. I would say sorry but that word isn't really in my vocabulary, so I just handed her the clothes.
"Here. Bathroom is that way." She took the clothes from my hand and went to change.
Once I heard the door close and the water start running I picked up the frame with the boys and remembered everything.
How my whole family practically disowned me. I Haven't seen Landon since I left and I haven't seen my cousins since about three years before that.
Landon was older than me by a year and a half. But every time out alcoholic father came home he would yell at us and throw us around a bit, I would be the protector out of the two of us. I would lock him in my room and just sit there waiting for him to calm down. When I left, he was asleep, and Dad was "at work" I packed everything I thought I would need, left a note fore Landon and then just left before my father could get home.
I haven't heard from him since.
I sat the picture back down and picked up the one of the woman. Sometimes I wonder why I even have this picture. I guess just to remind my self that she really did exist.
Someone cleared their throat behind me. When I turned around Cam was there standing against the door frame of the bathroom. I looked at her face but then my eyes instantly traveled to the rest of her body.
I usualy don't let girls wear my clothes, unless they decide to make themselves at home and think its sexy to wear my shirt, but to be honest it disgusts me. Only one other girl has worn my clothes and now Cam. I never thought I would say this again, but she looked stunning in my clothes.
"Who is she?" Way to ruin the moment.
"I told You-" I started raising my voice.
"I'm sorry." She interupted me. "I shouldn't have asked." I nodded my head and placed the frame back down.
I walked over to the bed and pulled the covers back for her. She just stood there stareing back at me. I saw her eyeing the door, oh no, she should know she wont get far is she tried to run. "Get in."
She slowly walked over and got in the bed. I laid the covers back over the top haf of her body and then went to turn the light off.
Once everything was surrounded by darkness I walked back over to the other side of the bed. After I stripped down to my boxers I climbed in bed right behind Cam and drapped my arm over her waist. I felt her try to shuffel away but I pulled her back to me.
I know I pretty much just met her, but I'm going to let her go any time soon.
