Previously in Deception:

He cares for me because I feel it and I see it in his eyes when he holds me.

"I'm here." He whispers, soothing me but I shake my head.

"You can't take away the pain, Harry." I cry. He then pulls my face up and looks at me.

"I know. I have pain too Charlie. But we can get through this. We can get rid of him, for good." He states.

I know he is right. Because it is what I have to do.

"Tomorrow night." I say and Harry's eyebrows furrow.

"Tomorrow?" he whispers.

"Yes. And I know exactly where."

Chapter 38:

I wake early in the morning and Harry is not in bed. Panic runs through me in instant, afraid of the absence of his warmth.

"Harry?" I call out and he pops his head through the door to his bedroom.

"Yes, love?" he smiles. I blush immediately and look down at his sheets.

"Just checking." I laugh to myself.

"Come. We have a long say ahead of us." Harry then nods seriously. I unwrap myself from the warmth and comfort of his duvet and slip on some of Harry's socks on the floor.

Walking into the kitchen, the smell of brewed coffee whistles through my nose.

"Coffee or tea?" Harry asks, cheekily. I smile at his effort. He is trying to be nice and distract me from our plans tonight. But even he knows we must plan this one out, carefully.

"I'll take the coffee. Been a while since I have had myself a nice cup." I smile and he nods. I watch him drop in two squares of sugar before he hands the cup to me.

"You must not have had a good cup of coffee in a long while." He smiles, watching me gulp it down far too quickly.

"I made some very good cups of coffee at Koffee Kall for your information." I glare and he laughs.

"Every cup you made me I had to spit out when you weren't looking." He smirks and I gap at him.

"You're despicable." I shake my head and he shrugs.

"But you love me." he replies and I think both of us realize what he has said at the same time. His eyes widen, as do mine.

"I uh, nevermind." Harry mumbles, scratching his head.

"Harry..." I begin.

"No seriously never mind. I say that to every girl." He smiles and I frown. I hate this. He always does this. Its one step forward and five steps back. And of course his immediate retaliation is bringing up the thought of him with another girl.

"Okay." I mumble, setting my cup on the table.

"Well I have class today, just music but I think I should miss. I don't want to leave you here alone." He mutters and I nod. To be honest, I don't want him to leave me either.

"You have missed a lot of class...because of me. You should go. I will be fine, honestly." I say and he looks towards the door.

"We'll talk about tonight when I get back right?" he says and I nod. I feel this annoyingly stinging pain as I watch him walk out the door and lock it. The last time he left me here alone, Niall showed up with news that ruined everything for me.
