Ariel’s P.O.V
My body woke up before my eyes, I concentrated on the sheets and the softness of the comforter snuggling the pillow tighter. Harry; Nightmare, Cuddle, Sleep talking….everything from last night was starting to submerge into my mind from the far back. I heavily opened my eyes, there was an absence of a warm presence missing from behind me and I knew that Harry already got up it was just me….alone in the room. I gradually pushed myself up sitting on the bed with sex hair and morning breath with one eye fully open and the other barely staying awake. I pushed back the covers and climbed out of bed thank god the ground had carpet, I walked over to the bathroom and quickly brushed my hair into a messy bun and brushed my teeth with my favorite toothbrush that echoed Bruno Mars Lazy Song through my mouth then rinsed and repeat. Once I got to the top of the stairs I already knew that me and Harry were going to have an awkward moment for the rest of the day, I hear him laughing down stairs with the rest of the gang and I knew once I took a step into that kitchen he will go silent and go back into that reserved mood. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath and began my way downstairs my feet hit quietly against the hardwood floor but loud enough for everybody to notice my oncoming

presence. “Hey sleepy head!” Sam had a piece of bacon hanging out his mouth while scooting some more onto his plate. “Hey….” I said shyly, I raised my hand to block a slit of light that blinded me right in the eye. “Um….Ariel, did you forget to put on something?” Everybody was looking down my body; I looked down as well I saw a lot of my bare skin showing. I still had on the lingerie from last night Barney smiled and winked at me. Great now she’s thinks me and Harry had a little fun last night, Sam kept looking back at Harry with this satisfied smile on his face “Well….Well….any who there’s some food for you right here” I didn’t know what to do, if I turned around everybody could see my butt I took embarrassing footsteps towards a seat which just happens to be next to Harry. He got up from his seat abruptly and put his dish in the sink and came walking by me but I heard him stop behind me, I felt him towering over my body he was doing something that was causing a mixture of air and cologne to brush past me. “Come here….” He knew I heard him even over the loud sounds of giggling and tickling coming from Sam and Barney. I turned around in the seat and I followed him down to a secluded

hallway that separated us from the happy couple in the kitchen, still there laughs and giggle’s ringed my ear at a distance. “Put this on…” He shoved his sweatshirt towards me and looked back over at the kitchen checking up on Barney and Sam. “You don’t have to” I pushed it back with my hand, he looked down at me appalled, and he furrowed his brow “But I want to…” It was hard for me to reject with his morning voice it was low and husky and it cracked a few times trying to settle into his normal throughout the day voice, I grabbed it reluctantly before he saw the Goosebumps rising on my arms. The sweatshirt hung low on me coming just past my butt “Thank you…” He looked back at me from gazing at the kitchen. “No….thank you….” I was confused he put his arms up against the wall not giving me an option to turn left or right; I was trapped. He eased a little bit closer and stared deep into my eyes, I felt insecure something this perfect is obviously picking out my imperfections.

The sunlight just happened to shine down the hallway onto me and Harry his eyes caught the golden color along with his hair. His eyes glowed brighter than his normal green they were lighter like the Caribbean Sea and his hair wasn’t dark brown but it was light like hazel each curl was defined to its finest pushed back with gel, my mouth parted open on its own. “I’m sorry about last night….I’m sorry for touching you it won’t happen again but…… thank you for being there” I looked away “Harry where else would I have gone?” He grabbed my chin but quickly removed it once he remembered his vow to not touch me. “You could have got up and walked away…..” His eyes traveled away from mine slowly running down my face he stopped at my lips; he dug his teeth deep into his lower lip and tugged at it hard enough to turn it bright red abstracting the small short bruise from the color of his pink lips. “B-But I was asleep, I couldn’t have….” He gave off his warm inviting seductive smile letting me adore his dimples “Ariel….you weren’t asleep…….” I stood up straighter feeling embarrassed about being

caught. “No, I was sleep I’m pretty sure…..” I crossed my arms over my chest; I was getting irritated not at Harry but at myself for not being more convincing about my fake sleep and now I was getting nervous what if he brings up the subject about my outfit…. “You know….and I know” He said that as if he’s known me for a long time. “That I’m the only guy that can give you Goosebumps with one touch…..” Damn it! He felt my Goosebumps last night. “Now…..if you were asleep, you wouldn’t have felt me touching you so therefore love you wouldn’t have had Goosebumps…” Gesshh he’s smart! I scratched my neck nervously. “Um….Um okay sorry?” He moved his hands off the wall, and I released my built up air that was stored in my lungs; his intense gaze was giving me 1 second heart attacks I could barely think. He laughed lowly as if he was sharing a thought with himself “I don’t care if you were awake…..I just care that you were there for me when I needed you, so thank you….” His voice was

back into his normal voice he uses throughout the day. “Welcome….” He then came closer to me forming his mouth “Um can I hug you?” I nodded and walked in towards him, I wrapped my hands around his neck; he wrapped his hands around my hips slowly like he was enjoying the moment and tightened his grip upon me lifting me up slightly.
His head nuzzled into my neck, the breath coming out his nose made the hairs on my skin stand up. I had to be the brave one, the smart one to hurry up and break up the hug before it escalated to something else. I decided to walk away as well, I felt his eyes dancing down my body and I couldn’t help but to smile at myself. “Ariel…….” I turned around caught off guard thinking we were done talking. “Huh?” I fumbled my hands around with the hem of his sweatshirt and itched the back of my ankle with my opposing foot. He stared at my body from the toes all the way up to my head, he nipped at his lip but he didn’t care that I watched since he was distracted by my presence. He bit down hard on his

teeth; his jawline flexed tightly; a hot flash went through my body. “If you were mine…….” I swallowed deeply; I can’t afford to even imagine that thought right now with the way he stared at him. He watched me closely; he was focused and not anything was going to break his concentration but at the same time he knew I loved Jesse yet he keeps saying stuff like this. “I would never let you out of my eye sight…..Jesse is a lucky guy…..” He stayed there staring at me, I assume he was waiting for a response but I couldn’t think of one, I was too busy trying to slow down my heartbeat. “I’ll sleep on the couch tonight…” He broke up the awkward silence. “Wait why?” I made a settle movement towards

him. “I can’t lay in bed with you Ariel…..I thought I could handle it but….every second I’m tempted to touch you and this urge is getting stronger…..” I dropped my mouth open, I mouthed some letters but the words wouldn’t come out. “Oh…..” Is the only word I could manage right now. “Oh’s right love….” He gave me a smile but this one was more restricted and tight; his teeth didn’t even show. I stood there for a while taking in all that just happened, he can’t sleep with me because he tempted to touch me? To…touch…me? If I was with Jesse he would be tempted to have sex with me, but Harry has this dying need to touch me? What’s so amazing about touching a person?
