I got such a lovely response from yesterday's update so thank you all very much! I love drunk Harriet and who knows, we might be seeing more of her. Thanks to Gemma for giving me inspiration for this one. Hope you all enjoy :) xxxxx
Cains POV
I lay awake next to the most beautiful girl I'd ever laid eyes on. She was perfect. We had agreed to go shopping last night for things for the house, I'm realising now, at 1pm that I don't think she'll be up for it. I feel her stir next to me as she groans at the sight of sunlight.
"I think I'm going to die." She croaks as she throws the blanket over her head to hide the suns rays peering through the crack in the curtain. I laugh as she quite evidently has a hangover.
"Hungover much?" I laugh as I slip my head so it's under the covers like hers.
"Don't. I think I have the worlds worst hangover. I bet I made a right prat of myself." She says hitting me playfully whilst holding her head with the other one.
"So I take it we're not going shopping today then?" I say, giving her a look.
"Oh crap, I forgot. No we can still go. Just give me like 6 hours to make myself look remotely human." She laughed, instantly regretting it, it clearly hurting her head even more.
"I'll go make us some coffee shall i?" I question, pulling myself out of our bed. Our bed. It felt so strange to say that. It was always mine or hers but now it was ours. I loved that.
"Make mine a strong one please." She tells me, throwing the cover back over her head. I can't help but laugh to myself, she was so funny when she wanted to be. Always got a sarcastic comment when she needed one.
Harriet's POV
My head felt like I'd been run over by a lorry. I'm never drinking again. I honestly can't remember much of last night but I'm sure Cain will remind me with no doubt. I vaguely remember us arguing, well me arguing. Most likely about charity. Cain had been amazing though, looking after me. Something told me he wasn't going to be as caring as he had been last night, it was going to be a funny day for him. I regret agreeing to go shopping today, I most definitely wasn't up to it. Nether the less, Cain appeared to be excited for it, for whatever reason. So I was going to have to get through it, for him. It's not long before Cain joins me back upstairs, along with a strong coffee and some aspirin.
"Thank you." I say before taking the aspirin and having a large sip of my coffee.
"That should help you keep awake." He says smiling at me, although it's not his usual smile. It's more of a smug one.
"What?" I ask, looking up at him.
"You really can't handle your drink can you?" He says laughing, forcing me to give him a rather stern look.
"Excuse me, I had two bottles of wine. And I wasn't that bad." I say, not actually knowing myself how bad I was.
"You weren't?" He questions, getting up and walking towards the bedroom door.
"Have you found your sword yet?" He says laughing before leaving me to get ready. I put my head in my hand with embarrassment, why did I have a thing about swords when I'd had a drink? I decide to ignore him and start getting ready. I wasn't that bothered what I looked like in all honesty. I just wanted to get shopping out of the way and then to go back to bed. I opened my case, as we didn't have a wardrobe yet. That was one of the things we had ordered. I pulled on my blue skinny jeans and threw a green, ripped hoodie over my torso. I couldn't be bothered with a t-shirt underneath. I then put a pair of trainers on and ran a brush through my knotted hair. I couldn't really be bothered with makeup so just opted for some concealer to cover up the lack of sleep I'd had the night before. I finished my coffee and then made my way downstairs.
"You look nice." Cain said as I reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Is that supposed to be a joke?" I question walking past him to put my cup in the sink.
"No, you actually look really nice. And I love those jeans" he said walking behind me and smacking my behind.
"Get off" I laugh as I turn around from the skin. He moves forwards and places his lips onto mine. I could kiss him all day. As the kiss becomes more heated I push him away from me, reminding him of the time.
"Come on then, lets go shopping." He says putting his arm around my waist as we walk to his car.
Cains POV.
She was so cute. Adorable. She'd brightened up a little since we left the house and I couldn't help but smile as she picked up various items in order to gain my opinion on them.
"What about this colour?" She asks picking up another tin of paint. This tin was a burnt red colour and I actually rather liked it.
"That's perfect." I say grabbing the tin from her and placing it in the trolley.
"Right what else do we need?" She asks me as we walk further down the aisle.
"Everything." I laugh, whilst handing her the list. We'd only picked up tea towels and paint. Needless to say we needed a lot more. We'd already sorted the furniture, or was just the little bits we needed now. Little finishing touches to make it our own.
"How cute are these?" She says, grabbing my attention once more. She was holding up rabbit salt and pepper shakers.
"Don't you think they are a bit girly?" I say, discarding the trolley and moving so I was behind her.
"Please, I like them." She pleaded looking over her shoulder at me. I sigh in agreement, leaning over her shoulder to kiss her before taking the salt and pepper shakers out of her hand and putting them in the trolley with all the other bits.
"I think that's it." She said, looking quite pleased with herself.
"Yeah there's just one more thing." I say, before pulling her down the next aisle.
"Cain why have you brought me down the toy aisle?" She asks, clearly confused.
"I just wanted to have a look for something." I say, smirking at her before continuing down the aisle. Harriet seemed to be distracted by the teddy bears and I picked something up and held it behind my back.
"What have you got behind your back?" She laughs, trying to see behind me.
"Is this yours by any chance?" I ask, laughing probably way too much than I should have.
"Will you shut up about swords." She shouts, not being able to help her laughter either. This is exactly what I wanted. Laughter, Happiness. It's so strange but I felt like the luckiest and happiest man on earth just being here shopping with her. The woman I love.
