Harry shut and locked the door behind him and Juliet. The rain was pouring like crazy outside and they hurried to get in the house. Juliet nearly had a heart attack as a loud bolt of thunder lightly shook the huge house, scaring her half to death.
“Damn.. it’s storming bad tonight.’’ Harry sighs as he kicks his boots off, not caring to take them upstairs.
Juliet steps out of her heels, - which are actually Sophia’s because she didn’t have any this shade of blue, well at least not yet – and slid them close to Harry’s boots to keep them out of the way.
“I hate storms.’’ Juliet whispers lightly to herself as she runs a hand through her hair, nervous about her sleep tonight.
“Well, love, I’m going to head on to bed. The baby’s asleep, isn’t he?’’ Harry asks as he steps towards the staircase.
‘’Yeah, Ragen has him in her guest room.’’ Juliet replies with a light nod.
‘’Alright, well, are you gone come on up or stay up for a bit?’’ Harry asks, just wanting to make sure she’s okay either way.
‘’I think I’ll go on to bed, I’m tired.’’ Juliet says, gently yawning as she follows Harry up the stairs after he gestures her.


“Now if you need me just call me or come get me, I don’t care if you wake me up or not.’’ Harry tells Juliet as she lies down on the soft mattress in her newly claimed room, pulling the plush covers over her body and burying her head into the pillows.
‘’I will.’’ She mumbles lightly, assuring Harry of her promise as she gives him a smile.
“Goodnight love, sleep tight.’’ Harry whispers softly as his lips press against Juliet’s forehead, he loved the feeling of her soft skin against his lips.
‘’Goodnight.’’ She mumbles back, flustered cheeks and a light smile as Harry leans up and turns the lamp off on the nightstand.
Without any other spoken words – only thoughts in both of their minds – Harry leaves Juliet in peace and a good night’s rest, heading to his own room to have the very own rest he needed.

<<3:49am>>
The thunder rolled and the lightning struck outside the window, the curtains covering over the balcony doors are sheer and thin, not shielding Juliet’s eyes from anything beyond the estate walls.
She took a deep breath as she stared at her hands in the dark, her back leaning against the headboard. Her heart was racing fast, she could feel the anxiety and the panic slowly begin to arise in her body.
With the reminders of Harry’s words and her reassurance screaming in her mind, she kicked her legs out from under the cover and moved to the edge of the bed, her feet touching the cold hard wood floor.
Not only was Juliet nervous, but she was afraid. Thunderstorms were not her ideal thing, she hated them and that hatred held high in her mind. Nothing about the rain, thunder, or even lightning was good, and she couldn’t stand it one little bit – not at all.
Exhaling a deep, heavy breath, she stood up and made her way towards the bedroom door. With every step, a shiver shot up her spine, her toes cold against the flooring, her heart racing madly, her mind dizzy and her head aching.
Juliet soon entered the hallway, the darkness taking over her. She hated the dark as much as the storms. There was nothing in the dark but demons and pain, at least in her eyes. She shook the thoughts from her head with a huff as she quickly walked towards Harry’s door, right next to hers.
As she grabbed the door handle, the cold metal pressed against her skin and made her hand begin to shake. There was nothing more she wanted than for the rain to stop, the darkness to lighten.
With all of the strength in her body mixed with the little courage, she turned the handle and slowly opened the door – listening to the creaking noise of the hinges. Gulping out of nervousness, she stepped inside the room and closed the door behind her, she didn’t want to leave anything in the wrong.
Harry’s room was like an entire different atmosphere, a different universe. The curtains on the balcony and the windows were dark, trees outside the window blocked the view of the lightning in the sky, even the thunder wasn’t as loud.
A smile lightly appeared on Juliet’s face in the dark room as the sound of Harry’s snoring filled her ears. What a joy it would be to fall asleep listening to that every night..
She stepped closer to the bed, closer to the sleeping man she had fell in too much love with. The bathroom door was open, the light was on – giving her a chance to see Harry’s sleeping body as he laid with the covers covering only the lower part of his body.
One arm crossed behind his head, the other beside him with his hand resting on his abdomen.
Juliet’s tongue instinctively licked her lips at the sight before her, but she took a deep breath and tightly shut her eyes, trying to get the image from her mind – but it was entirely too hard to do so.
Like she was told to do, she gently sat down on the edge of the bed, softly and carefully – attempting not to make too much movement. With a deep inhale of air, she reached over and placed her arm on Harry’s bicep.
As she lightly gripped the muscle, her heart skipped a beat – the fact it was storming completely left her mind as she felt the warm skin against her cold palm. She wanted to feel his body heat, his skin against hers. The warmth overtaking her..
“Juliet?’’ Harry mumbles lightly as he opens his eyes in the dark, the grip on his arm had awaken him.
‘’I.. I’m sorry.’’ Juliet says nervously as she lets go of Harry’s arm not clearly realizing how long and hard she had been holding on – time flew when she thought about him.
‘’No, no.. don’t be, love.’’ Harry says as he leans up – responding in Juliet’s quick movement away from his bed.
“I’m sorry, Harry.. I.. I didn’t mean to wake.. you.’’ Juliet says with a gulp, nervous and embarrassed at being caught doing what she was doing, even though it wasn’t a sin in reality, to her it was though.
“It’s fine, you’re fine.’’ Harry assures her with a light smile as she sighs, becoming a little less tense now that those words that left his mouth.
‘’I just.. the.. storm.’’ She says with a cracked voice, shaky hands as she gestures towards the balcony doors.
“How about you lie down with me? The sound from the outside is blocked better in here than any other room.” Harry insists as he leans over with his elbow digging into the mattress to grab his phone and turn on the lamp.
As he leans his back against the head board he opens his phone to see that it was a few minutes past four in the morning – entirely too early for either of them to be up.
Juliet’s voice got locked in the back of her throat, she couldn’t reply to what he said or even react to it, she just stood there and stared at him with her eyebrows lightly furrowed – wondering why on earth he would want her to sleep in his bed with him..
‘’Lay down, I won’t bite. I’ll keep to my side, yeah?’’ Harry’s deal made Juliet’s heart beat a little more faster than average, but she didn’t care, this was one of the best deals she’s ever been offered.. she’s surely going to take it.
Hesitating a little, she eases down onto the edge of the bed, not sure how to approach this right. With his hand, Harry lightly gestures her to come closer, patting the spot beside him on the bed.
‘’Don’t worry, I won’t do anything.’’ Harry mumbles lightly with a wink as Juliet slips her legs under the cover, feeling a little better about herself right now since she didn’t have on any pants just a big T-shirt that belonged to Harry and underwear.
‘’Oh, um, the baby was crying earlier and I heard him, I had left my door open. I went in there and Ragen had him trying to rock him. We both declared not to wake you because of the time.’’ Harry tells her as she lies down beside him getting herself comfortable on the mattress.
Juliet nods in response, but she was thankful that Harry cared enough to go check on the baby.
