Carry on from tonight's episode! enjoy x
Cain held the garage door open for her, ''Maybe we should grab something to eat now?' he smirked his arm winding around her waist.
She smiled lightly ''Maybe we should just call it a night''
he smirked walking in the direction of her house, ''I'm fine with that'' he smiled holding his hand out for her to take.
the hand fell in between them, ''...I was thinking more separately'' she said awkwardly.
Cain shook his head ''What's wrong?'' he frowned, she walked past him in the direction of her house.
This relationship was taking more of a toll on her that she realised, the thing was things were moving really quickly and she wasn't sure she could handle it. Throughout all of their relationship she had been holding back because she anticipated he would hurt her, but these days it felt more like she was hanging onto a cliff, rather than in the safety of a boat on a lake.
It had turned twelve and she couldn't sleep, she was restless, she found herself sitting on the sofa, why did she make a fight with him they were getting on soo well and she ruined it, she hated herself. Most people have something that's their weakness, drugs...alcohol, maybe even caffeine, Not Harriet though her weakness was bad boys, she was attracted to them. Ashley had been a gimmick and maybe that's why she'd been drawn to him because he was different to the others, but it wasn't the same as Cain. She didn't want to change Cain, she wanted to be with him.
The door knocking awoke her from her thoughts.
It was late and the crisp Autumn air filled her lungs as she opened the door, it was dark but she knew who would be on the other side of it. He stood there his hair tousled, he'd been trying to sleep too and judging by his attire he had just rolled out of bed, he was wearing blue plaid pyjama pants. ''Nice outfit'' she smirked. He looked down releasing what he was wearing. ''Can I come in?'' he asked awkwardly and she stood back to let him in.
She shut the door behind him, and he smiled lightly at the blanket on the sofa, ''we need to talk'' he turned to look at her, ''I don't want this to be a casual thing but if you do then I'd like to know now...before I fall any deeper'' he said looking at her his eyes piercing into hers.
she frowned looking at her feet and he nodded ''I guess I could say I didn't see this coming'' he sighed his eyes were welling he could sense something was wrong.
She leaned against the door frame, ''I didn't think it would at the beginning...more than that for you, but I felt it...there is something special between us'' she said her arms falling to her side''...but your like drugs Cain'' she breathed ''you make me need you all the time and I'm so scared that one day you wont be here, or you will walk away'' she frowned and her eyes were welling now too, ''I'm addicted to you''.
he grabbed her hand ''When I saw you in that hospital bed, I made a vow to myself that I was never gonna let you go again...do you understand me Harriet?, you need to trust me'' he told her ''..I made that vow to myself, and I made it to you'' he looked at her ''I need you''.
Harriet smiled lightly ''Don't start talking about vows...its a bit soon for that don't you think'' she joked. he smiled lightly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear ''Nothings too soon...not when you've been waiting your whole life for someone'' he said smoothly. She smiled at him enterwinding their fingers she led him to the couch, and they sat down.
He leaned back and she rested her back against his chest, ''I really do like your pyjama pants'' she smirked. and he looked at her as she turned to face him ''I didn't think vicars were aloud to tease people...'' he looked down at her ''how did I get so lucky?'' he stroked her face, and she smiled lightly, ''what are you thinking?'' she asked him
he looked at her shaking his head ''You don't want to know''
she smiled ''tell me...''
he caressed her cheek ''I'm thinking about how much I'm in love with you''
