Chapter 12

8:00 am

Sunday

No one's POV

Charlotte woke up with a warm presence surrounding her body, an arm loosely around her waist. She yawned and stretched her arms out avoiding Henry's face. Charlotte soon figured out that she likes being held close to him, and not in a harmful way. It was way better than waking up in pain, she is also glad she didn't have a nightmare last night.

Then all the memories from last night came filtering in piece by piece. She felt the heat rise to her cheeks, totally embarrassed she almost pounced on Henry last night.

'Oh god Henry probably thinks I'm crazy. And then on top of that I cried in front of him. I'm not sure how to feel about that.'

Charlotte's eyes widened as the thought crossed her mind. She attempted to get up from his hold, even though his hold wasn't tight her attempts proved futile. So she stopped moving and stayed still, Charlotte felt the small puff of air on her neck as Henry exhaled through his nose. She closed her eyes and relishing the moments she had with Henry even if he was sleeping. She smiled softly as Henry's breath tickled the back of her neck.

15 minutes pass and Henry was sifting starting to wake up. Charlotte stretched and acted like she just woke up, she turned around now facing him she tapped his nose with her index finger.

"Boop." Henry's face scrunched up as he opened his eyes. Charlotte smiled at him.

"Good morning to you too Charlotte." Henry mumbled as he yawned. She liked his morning voice. When he fully opens his eyes she needed to make this clear.

"Before you say anything about last night. I wanted to apologize about everything that happened last night. Please don't make it awkward." She rushed out quickly. Henry now fully awake he played with the hem of her t-shirt.

"Charlotte it's fine but it was kinda weird that you grabbed my ass tho." He chuckled lightly.

"Oh god I'm so embarrassed. I'm sorry." He rubbed her lower back.

" I told you it okay. C'mon let's get breakfast I'm hungry." She got up and stretched her aching limbs. She quickly retracted her arms when she felt the soreness from her Abdomen.

"Me too. I'm going to take a shower." She grabbed her change of clothes and gave Henry one last glance, and that's when she noticed the dark mark in his neck her eyes widened she quickly left the room and shut herself in the bathroom. Charlotte did a silent scream.

'Oh shit shit shit. I not only touched him weird I gave him a hickey! Well I guess people know who he belong too.' She smirked.

'Who am I kidding? I can never get him.' She shook her head and started the shower making sure it was on hot. Charlotte quickly undressed herself took off the old bandages and got in the shower, she gently washed the bruises that covered her body. Once she was done she carefully steps out of the shower and dried herself off, she got the supplies out needed to put her bandages back on. It took her awhile but she got it she made sure to grab sweatpants so she didn't have to see the scars. When she returned to her room Henry wasn't there she quickly grabbed a shirt and bra. Charlotte enters the hallway walking toward the Man Cave.

"Henry where are you?" She heard a faint,

"In here." She followed his voice. She found Henry sitting at the couch with two plates full of breakfast. She sat across from him.

"Hey Hen what you got ?"

"I made us food." Henry said with a smirk. Henry can't cook to save his life Charlotte looked at him,

"Okay maybe I didn't cook it but the machine did." Henry confessed.

"Thank you Henry." She picked up the fork and started digging in. After she took a few bites she looked up at Henry and realized he hasn't touch his food yet. He was staring at her which made her feel uneasy.

"Are you okay?" She questions as she points at him with her fork.

"Yeah. I was just wondering, why did you leave your room so quickly earlier?" She looked down and played with eggs on the plate with her fork.

"Umm see ya know. I kinda put a hickey on your neck." Henry's eyes widen he pulled out his phone to look at it.

"Oh shit." He laughed as he rubbed the bruise lightly. She looked him in the eye.

"I'm sorry." She spoke quickly before Henry placed his index finger on her lips. Henry was grinning at her when he took his finger off her lips.

"Stop apologizing Charlotte. You say ``sorry '' too much."

'I didn't even notice I'd say sorry a lot.' She thought to herself.

"Oh I'm sor- I mean okay my bad." Charlotte muttered before she took a sip of orange juice. Henry finally took a bite out of his food and chews slowly.

"Take a picture it will last longer." She said sarcastically.

"I already did." He turned his phone around showing her a picture of her eating. Charlotte looked at the picture in disbelief.

"Eww! Delete that right now!" Charlotte took Henry's phone and ran around the room trying to delete the hideous picture of herself.

Charlotte ran to her room and stood in the corner of the bedroom his phone behind her back. When Henry enters her room she laughed softly,

"Can I have my phone back?" She gripped on the phone tighter.

"No." Charlotte grinned as Henry had a look of defeat on his face. But then he got so close to her face, their lips inches apart Henry quickly got his phone out of her grasp and walked out of her room. Leaving Charlotte flustered.

"You ass!" she yelled at him.

"Whatever Charlotte." She heard him laughing. Charlotte rolled her eyes and laid in her bed.
