Cam 47- Plans and pleas

The shrill sound of my alarm wakes me up in the morning. Although it’s only just morning. since I set the alarm pretty late due to my late night at the police station. I drag myself out of bed and stumble out to the kitchen. I. NEED. COFFEE. I have the machine heating up when Harry’s voice calls out sleepily from the living room

“Are you making coffee? Can I get in on that too please?” His voice is hoarse and a little lower than usual. Shocked, I dart into the living room to find Harry sprawled out on my couch. He sits up with a groan, rubbing at his back which I’m betting is sore from his fall last night.

“When did you get here?” I ask, my mind not processing the scene in front of me. Harry runs a hand through his sleep ruffled hair and stares at me like I’m crazy.

“All night? You INSISTED that it was too late for me to drive home and that I should stay over. Then you went to change into your pyjamas and never came back. I checked in on your and you were totally out so I just made myself comfortable on your couch. I did go through. your cupboards to find a blanket, I hope you don’t mind.” He smiles at me tiredly and I try to remember getting home last night. I do vaguely remember telling Harry that he would fall asleep at the wheel if he tried to drive any further. I’m fairly sure at the time I meant to invite him to share my bed but apparently I didn’t make it

“Sorry, I’m a terrible host. I didn’t mean to fall asle at far. Oops. I flush red.

I’ll get us both some coffee.” I excuse

myself to the kitchen so that I can hide my embarrassment a little. When I return two minutes later, I’m armed with two large cups of coffee and a smile that is only a little bit forced. Harry downs his coffee so fast you would think he is dying of thirst and it is the only thing available to keep him from literally dying. That or he’s just half as tired as I am. drink our coffee in silence. When we both place our empty mugs on the table, I break the

silence.

“Thankyou for last night. I’m sorry I got you dragged into the drama with Simon. I

knew, I would have called the police way sooner.” I sigh and Harry nudges me with his elbow before draping his arm over

his side.
