I know I said I'd post this as soon as I got a review but I had family visiting and didn't get a chance. Here's chapter seven, a little out of character but I think it works…
***************************************************************************HARKER***
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her trying to control myself. She was sitting on the edge of the bed with the sheet wrapped around her. I wanted to reach out and touch her but I knew she needed a moment to herself. I love you, her voice echoed in my head.
"I think I'm going to go." She replied getting up off the mattress and putting her clothes back on, careful not to expose any skin. Normal she'd strut around naked, but after her outburst she acted entirely different and did everything she could to shield herself from me.
"Parker, come on don't do this." I pleaded quickly pulling on my pants. I rushed over to the door to block her exit. "Talk to me mama." I begged. She wouldn't even look me in the eyes.
Flashback to a few minutes ago…
"That was, that was great." I panted falling onto a pillow.
"Yeah it was." She agreed trying hard to catch her breath as well. "God I love you." She said, almost whispering it as if she just realized it. I shot up in bed looking down at her.
"What was that?" I asked, my heart beating fast. I love you. Did she just say I love you? Her eyes widened when she acknowledged what she had said. She laid there, not saying another word.
"Do you want to talk about it?"…
End of flashback
"Parker, it's okay to feel every once and a while." I told her, grabbing her below the shoulders.
"No, it's not." She replied through gritted teeth.
"Yes it is." I shot back instantly, lightly shaking her.
"Hardison, I'm not like you. I don't talk about my feelings, I don't have feelings." She said frustrated.
"Yes you do!" I shouted upset. "Open your eyes Parker, you've changed. You aren't the same person you used to be. You have a family now, you have me." I told her, trying to knock some sense into her.
"Hardison," She said softly.
"What mama?" I asked hopeful.
"Move." She asked. I dropped my hands and got out of her way watching her leave, closing the door on us as she did.

Yes I know this is short too but I wanted to end it at this cliffhanger. I should and WILL have the next chapter up soon. I don't have anything to do nor are there anymore distractions so it shouldn't be too long of a wait. Thanks for reading, now review too please.
