I'm sorry I've not updated for a few days, I've had a lot of things on. Here's a chapter for you guys, hopefully another one to follow very soon, maybe in an hour or so.

Cains POV

I law awake next to the most wonderful person I'd ever laid eyes on. To say that I loved her would be an understatement, even more so now after yesterday. She was amazing with Kyle, I couldn't have asked for more. I still don't know what it is about her that forces me to love her so much, I can't help it. I feel like a love struck teenager. My life was perfect. Apart from the fact I lay awake at 5am, not being able to sleep. It gave me chance to think though, think properly.

I decide to go downstairs and grab myself a bowl of cereal, I knew I wasn't getting back to sleep anytime soon. Harriet was back at work today but I wasn't due back for another day yet, not that there was any point. If I wasn't with her I may as well of been at work.

I sit down at the breakfast table and begin to eat my cereal when I feel the presence of someone behind me. Her hands fall on my shoulders as I turn to see who was behind me. She smiled at me before going to get her own cereal.

"What are you doing up?" I ask her, I knew she was due up soon but she didn't have to be in work until at least 9.

"Well, someone disturbed my sleep." She says, giving me a flash of that same smile before sitting down with her bowl.

"Sorry, I couldn't sleep." I say, before having another spoonful of cereal.

"I thought you were awake and don't apologise, I'm only kidding - I had to get up soon anyways." Her words, made me smile. Even in the morning, when I'd woken her up she was still the kindest person I'd ever met.

"What time will be home tonight?" I ask, not sure when she would be home from work.

"Around 7, half past maybe. Depends if I get everything done. I won't be too late." She tells me, once again smiling at me.

"Okay, should we order in tonight? Celebrate you going back to work?" I ask, laughing at the second part. I'd love to cook for her but I can't cook, I'd end up burning the house down.

"Yeah if you like, but I'm not sure it's something to celebrate more like commiserate." She laughs now, as she finishes her cereal and puts both mine and her bowls in the sink.

Harriet's POV

(few hours later.)

I was almost ready for my first day back at work, it was strange - going back. It felt like I'd been off for ages. Still I think i need to go back, I loved my job really. I just didn't want to leave Cain. I can't believe how clinging I've become, how clingy we've both become really. We couldn't go an hour without missing each other. I suppose we were only still really in the early stages of our relationship. Despite having moved in together, and already confessed our love for one another. I look at the clock and see it's almost 9 so I grab my bag and head downstairs.

"Could you ask Laurel about Wednesday if you see her today?" I ask Cain as I get downstairs. We were going shopping, if I didn't see her I needed Cain to check that we were still on.

"Yeah sure. For shopping?" He asks, smiling as he finishes the washing up.

"Yeah, thanks sweetheart." I say as I walk over to give him a kiss goodbye. Our kiss turns heated quite fast, they always did. I push him away slightly.

"I don't have time for this right now, I've got to go to work" I tell him, as he looks at me with his big puppy dog eyes.

"But I'm gonna miss you." He says, knowing he's killing me. I hate turning him down.

"Later. I promise." I tell him as I turn from his grasp before kissing him one last time and heading for the door.

"Bye" he says, waving at the door.

"See ya." I respond, feeling quite sad, having to leave him.

Cains POV

I missed her already. She'd only been gone a matter of minutes but it felt like forever. We had both become really clingy, like honeymooners. Every time we weren't together I just counted down the hours until we were again - I wonder if she does the same.

...

After sitting the house alone for what felt like days I decide to go and see Harriet. I used to visit her all the time at work. I decide to find Laurel first, and do what Harriet had told me.

...

After looking round the village for some time - Laurel is nowhere to be seen. I decide to head to her house and see if she is there. I knock on the door and wait for her to answer.

"Cain?" She says as she opens the door, sounding rather shocked to find me there.

"Laurel, can I come in a second?" I ask, not really waiting for an answer.

"Sure." She said sarcastically before shutting the door.

"Harriet wants to know if you are still going shopping on Wednesday?" I ask, standing uncomfortably by the door frame of the kitchen.

"I am yeah, is that everything?" She asks, sensing there was more that I wanted to say.

"Do you think she'd ever marry me? Harriet I mean." I ask, it took me few minutes to actually get the words out but I got there.

Laurel stood back, looking shocked at my question. I retreat back into my shell, retracting my earlier statement.

"Never mind. I wasn't serious." I say before heading for the door to leave.

"Cain wait. I think she'd love to marry you. I never knew you were this serious." She stops me in my tracks and I turn so I am facing her again.

"I love her. I love her so much. More than I've ever loved anyone." I couldn't quite believe the words that were coming out of my mouth. Me, Cain Dingle expressing my feelings.
