His Girl

chapter 32

Harper

I woke up to feel a tight arm around me, I panicked at first not knowing who it was. I struggled to turn and look around but when I did I relaxed.  It was just James. Once I had managed to relax, I started to feel good about being in this position. I felt safe and cared for. Two things I hadnt felt in years. I looked over and saw it was 4am. I'm sure it was 7am before. At this information I was confused however 4am was early so I drifted back to sleep.

I woke up again but this time James was not besides me. Was it a dream. "Good you're awake" I hear him say. Sitting up, i see him walking into the room with a tray. He made breakfast,  oh no..the kitchen would be a mess but it was very sweet of him. "Yeah" I say thinking back to earlier. Was it a dream? I looked at the clock and it was 7.34am. "James" I say, hoping to ask him. "Yes Harper" he replied putting the tray in front of me. Waffles and orange juice which looked really good. "We slept here together right" I say hoping it wasnt a dream. "Yes but before you say anything, you asked me too" he said nervously. "No its not that, it's just I woke up around 4am and I was sure it was later when we went to sleep so I was confused and wondered if it was a dream" I explain in which he responds by laughing. After some time he stopped laughing. "We slept all of yesterday, I guess we were tired" he  said. That made sense i guess. I suddenly felt bad, he slept because I asked him to when he probably had work to do. "I'm sorry I made you miss your work" I tell him hoping he would understand. "I rather have you in my arms then do work" he said. I smiled at this but it dropped as soon as the last few days came to mind. "You avoided me all week though" I say and begin to eat my breakfast.  "Because you rejected me, I like you harper I've already said that but the more time I spend with you, the deeper the feelings and I know you dont want that so I tried and failed to make it easier" he explained. "James, you never let me explain why I said no" I tell him hoping he would let me explain now. "Go on then" he said and I take a deep breath before telling him. "So I've never had a relationship and i just want to make sure I'm making the right decision. I like you james and I've never felt this way before so I'm scared if it goes wrong" and he is quiet for what seems like forever. "I understand,  eat your breakfast and we will talk later" after that he left. I was slightly disappointed at his answer.
James
She did like me, she was just scared of the fact it could go wrong. I was pleased, so pleased. Yes she was scared but that was better than not liking me. She liked me and that is all that mattered. I did leave straight after she told me this, may not have been the best decision but I was so happy and I had to leave before I told her about my feelings. I had to calm down.
Yesterday felt amazing, I woke up around 2pm and saw she was still asleep. I started to play with her hair and the next thing that happened was I was waking up at 6am, the following day. I wanted more days like that.
I had to prove it to her that this wouldnt be a mistake. I  checked my phone and saw I had a meeting at 5pm about the hotels but until then I was free. I could take her on a date. But would she want to go. I'm getting ahead of myself. I should ask her though. "Breakfast was great" I hear her say and I turn to find her stood, dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt holding the tray. She looked beautiful. "Thanks, here let me take the tray" I said but she refused "I got it, you made breakfast I'll wash it" she says with a smile.  Her smile was so amazing, I couldnt help but smile back. "So I'm free till 5pm today,  do you wanna do something " I ask hoping she would say yeah.
What if she says no. She has already turned me down before and I'm asking her after ignoring her for 4 days,  after some slut tried to kill her. Shes gonna say no.

"Uhm.."
