Never Ending Truths

16. Sick

I slowly opened my eyes to see Harley was asleep on my chest as her leg was over my waist. She looked so peaceful with not a care in the world.  I wrap my arms around her petite frame and place a kiss on her head. She gripped me tighter as she nuzzled her face into my bare chest. "Indy." She mumbles softly.

"What is it, doll?"

"I miss you." She says, still asleep, refusing to open her eyes. I couldn't help but chuckle at the adorable woman who was dreaming about me. "I haven't gone anywhere, sweetheart." I reassured her as I rubbed her arm.

"Don't leave me." She gripped me tighter and scooted as close as she could.

"I'm not going anywhere, doll." I promise her. "Come on; we leave today." I inform the sleepy woman. She opened her tired eyes to look at me, forming a weak smirk. "Morning."

"Good morning." I reply.

We stood on the porch, bags in hand, looking out at the beautiful farm one last time. "I'll see you soon, papa." Harley set down her bag giving him one last hug.

"I'll see you soon, mia bella." He pulls back and pats her shoulder. He came over to me with his hand extended, wanting to say goodbye to me. I set down the suitcase and shook his hand when he pulled me in, patting my back. "See you later, son."

"See you later." I pick up the luggage and walk to my car to put them in the back. Harley and I both get in the car and place our seatbelts on. I put the metal key in the ignition, Turing it and hearing my baby roar to life. I pulled out of the driveway as Harley waved goodbye to her father as I flicked two fingers up, waving as well. "So?" Harley turns to me, wanting to know how I liked the trip.

"I had fun; your dad even gave me his blessing."

"He did!?!"

"Yes, after our fight, he took me into the trophy area and gave me his blessing." I inform her with a grin on my face.

"That's great!" She exclaims with a giant smile from ear to ear.

We finally make it home, walking through the door. I had mixed feelings about being back home, not knowing how I felt. It's nice to be back, but now we have to sneak around and hide our relationship. I brought our stuff inside while Harley helped and closed the door behind us. I have to write my lesson plan and get everything ready for school in two days. Harley brought the bags to our room while I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I grab my books and set them on my desk as I begin to get my lesson ready.

Harley came out with wet hair, an oversized t-shirt, and green PJ bottoms. She walked over and placed a kiss on my cheek, hugging me from behind. "Whatcha doin?"

"Writing my lesson plan," I inform her as I try to focus. "I need to focus right now, sweetheart," I tell her softly, trying not to hurt her feelings.

"Okay, you hungry?"

"No."

"Okay." She nods her head then walks away, leaving me in peace. She came back over with a book and sat by my feet, leaning against the desk with her back. She's so cute. I write my lesson plan while she quietly read next to me, not wanting to be apart. We get each other; she lets me focus and doesn't disturb me even though she wants attention. I know she wants to be near me all the time, and I don't mind. I'm the same way, but I don't make it obvious. She's the sweetest woman I know.

****Two days later***

**Harleys pov**
I woke up as my nose was stuffy, and I had chills all over my body. I looked at the clock to see it was two in the morning, leaving me three more hours until we had to get up. I turned to see Indy was sleeping on his back as he lightly snored. I scoot closer to him and lay my head on his chest as I throw my arm and leg over him, trying to get warm. He shifted a little before putting his arm around me as a reflex. I closed my eyes, trying to go back to sleep, but I couldn't breathe out of my nose. I decided to breathe from my mouth, wanting nothing more than to go to sleep.
