Chapter 27

Harry and I sat on my sofa watching an old movie. Darcy was in bed and it was getting late. I had my head on Harry's shoulder and his arm was around my waist. I wasn't quite sure of the way we were sitting but Harry seemed to be relaxed by our closeness. I made a mental note to yell at Louis and Niall for making his life so much more difficult the next time the three of us were alone. I glanced up at Harry for a moment to see his tired eyes staring back at me. I cleared my throat and returned my attention to the TV.
"Noli?" Harry's voice held a bit of amusement. I hummed in response. "What's the matter?" He inquired.
I shook my head, "Nothing." When I glanced up at him, I could see it in his eyes that he did not believe me.
"Enola, I know something is up." Harry sounded slightly agitated with me.
"It's nothing." I sighed. "I'm just tired. We did a lot today." I added. I didn't want him to be worrying about me.
Harry sat up a little, with me still in his arms, "Do you want me to leave so you can go to bed?" He appeared a bit upset but I knew that he really was willing to let me go so I could go to bed. I eased him back onto the sofa and shook my head again. I pulled my legs up and rested my head on his chest. I wound my arm around his middle.
"I don't want you to go yet. I feel better with you here. Just stay a little longer." I stated quietly. I closed my eyes and sank into his embrace. I knew it was a bad idea being so close to him but I really did feel better than I did when just Louis or Niall were hanging around my house.
"Noli?" Harry murmured again. I glanced up at him. "Why do you keep saying that?" I lifted my eyebrow at him, questioning his question. "You've said three times now that you feel better with me here. Why?" I groaned at myself. I hadn't realized that I'd said it so many times. I sat quietly and tried to think of a way to get out of talking about it. "Enola, seriously, you can talk to me."
"I feel safe with you here." I stated as I stared straight forward.
"Why did you feel unsafe?" Harry sounded genuinely concerned for me. It wasn't what I wanted. I wanted him to be relaxed. I sighed quietly. "Come on. Maybe I can make it better." Harry pleaded.
"Charles." I said only to hear Harry grunt. "My divorce was rough and he...he's a very scary man when he's pissed off. He did a lot of stuff to hurt me. He had this habit of randomly showing up where ever I was or he would come to the apartment I had rented in LA. He is an incredibly unstable man. He hasn't done it in a long time and I know it can't happen again." I peeked at Harry again. He looked extremely pissed off. "But I've always felt safe with you. The night you put me to bed and stayed here was the best night of sleep I've gotten in five years."
Harry kissed my hair, "He can't do anything to you with me here." Harry held me closer, "Is that why you have so many locks on the door and they are always locked?" I nodded against Harry's chest.
"We always thought that me leaving would be the end of it." I murmured in my tired state. Harry stroked my arm gently to comfort me. "But leaving didn't make him stop. He kept doing all of the same old things he would always do. Even in the court room, he would act like a barbarian toward me. Whose to say that he would've been different had I left for London with you. He probably would've caused problems between us over and over. Whose to say that we would've gotten our fairy-tale ending." I spoke quietly and lazily. I was falling asleep on Harry once again.
"We don't have to talk about this now. Just relax, Noli." Harry whispered against my hair. I nodded and relaxed into him again.

Notes

I know this one was short. I apologize but I feel like we learned a little bit.
