I Need You To Catch Me When I Fall

Chapter One

Nikki sat comfortably at Harry's desk, her thin fingers tapping away on the keyboard, finishing her PM report on a student's suicide. It had been a very long day. Tiredness ached Nikki's bones. She could feel a pair of eyes burning her skin, prompting her to slowly raise her head.

Harry stood leaning against the door frame, a content smile upon his handsome face. A smile pulled at the corners of Nikki's pink lips. There was something in Harry's smile that caused her hormones to do excited little back flips. She let out a breath and tore her gaze from his smile. Her brown eyes trailed down his body. A navy blue shirt clung to his chest.

His pulling shirt Nikki thought sourly.

Her hormones stopped immediately. If he was wearing his pulling shirt then it meant that he was going out with one of his 25 year old bimbos.

"So who's this one?" Nikki asked.

"Her name's Sarah, she's from Manchester and only in London for the weekend" Harry explained with a smile. Nikki moved in her spinny chair so she was fully facing Harry.

"So you've shagged everyone in London, so now you're being forced to venture onto the one's who are only here for the weekend?" Nikki said dryly.

Harry let out a chuckle and smiled at her again.

"Not quite Niks, it seems you're the only one who's left out" He replied softly, a movie star smile on his face that caused her hormones to stir excitedly again as he turned and left the room.

An image of Harry caressing her skin with his lips flashed before her eyes. Nikki snapped back to awareness, thrusting the thought aside quickly. Why was she thinking like that? She shouldn't, couldn't be thinking of Harry like that. Nikki shook her head, attempting to thrust the image from her head as it attempted to claw its way back in.

Sure Harry was attractive and they'd shared that one incredible kiss all those years ago. But he was her best friend. A nagging feeling prodded Nikki's subconscious. She stared at the computer screen again but was unable to make any sense of the report. The words just fuzzed into a big jumble. After a few useless minutes she gave up and pushed her chair backwards, looking down at her knees.

Nikki exhaled slowly, allowing the breath to leave her over a long period of time.

A girl shouldn't have a daydream of her best friend caressing her skin with his soft fingers, his lips trailing over her body. Thinking of Harry like that wasn't good. She didn't even know why she was thinking of Harry like that.

And that's when it hit her. Like a slap in the face. She knew the reason why.
