Harry then climbed onto Cleo's bed and hugged her warmly until she fell asleep. Cleo even had time to hear little by little how the man continued to say comforting words to reassure her.

That night, Cleo was lucky not to have a bad dream. Where usually someone will have trouble sleeping and maybe even have bad dreams because of the unlucky events that that person had just experienced.

Cleo felt that Harry continued to stroke her head gently. And even held her hand tightly so that Cleo felt sure that she was not alone.

Harry then said a few words to lull her to sleep.

"Relax… And always be peaceful. I will always be by your side and not going anywhere. Calm down... Because I won't allow anyone to hurt you. I will take care of you as you guard the jewel of my heart. Sleep, honey.." he said while kissing Cleo's forehead once.

Cleo had flown into her dreamland.

Woke up the next morning in a much better mood. Harry was still sleeping beside her. Supported his body with his own arms and body. Until Harry's arms wrapped around her.

Cleo spontaneously woke up in a hurry. Felt embarrassed and uncomfortable with the mess she made yesterday. Cleo regretted a little bit of her inappropriately spoiled attitude. She was grateful because Harry didn't rebuke her to the point of making fun of her like he probably would normally do.

Cleo looked at the tired-looking man intently. Knew that this wasn't the first time they had slept together, Cleo couldn't find any complaints in her body that resisted his presence.

Harry was awake and starting to open his eyes to look around. Realized that he had fallen asleep in Cleo's room from exhaustion and honestly didn't want to leave her out of anxiety either. Harry instantly found those round black eyes which were staring at him very seriously when he opened his eyes wider.

Harry then heard her crisp voice too.

"You are awake?" Cleo asked in a tone that had returned to normal but there was a kind of stifled feeling in it.

Harry was already nodding his head and stretching his muscles.

"Yes, and did you sleep well?"

Cleo nodded.

Cleo who had already regained her composure said.

"Yes, it was all thanks to you."

Cleo then got up from her bed and tidied her hair. While Harry suddenly pulled Cleo towards him instead. Cleo spontaneously shouted in surprise.

"What are you doing?" She asked hysterically and looked at Harry with her piercing eyes.

Harry smiled.

"Ehm... looks like you're really okay," Harry was managing to read Cleo's face very well.

Cleo sneered after she understood what Harry's words and actions meant, which she was miraculously able to understand quickly than usual.

"So what you mean is, you purposely surprised me like this to check on my condition?" Cleo asked with a series of expressions that wanted to protest but couldn't because she knew Harry had no bad intentions.

Cleo returned to intend to get up from her place. But Harry held her in a position that would make anyone misunderstand when they saw it.

Harry then confirmed something.

"Did you feel anything after we got close like this? Especially after we had slept together. Even if it's just 'just sleeping together'. Do you feel something different towards me?"

"What do you mean by 'just sleeping together'?" Cleo asked in an even tone.

"You really want something more than 'just sleeping together' instead?" Harry had emphasized the 3 words from the start to provoke Cleo.

Cleo immediately felt her face turn red as she recalled the comfort of sleeping in Harry's arms.

It was so comfortable, that Cleo could completely forget about all of her troubles from yesterday and had a little sweet dream.

Harry then flashed a satisfied smile when he saw the blush on her cheeks. Felt that Cleo had started to realize his attractiveness and started to like him. Harry then continued to push her on purpose.

"Why are you blushing?" Harry showed a mischievous smile. Cleo spontaneously became nervous. Didn't look into his eyes and felt her heart was beating rapidly.

Cleo then asked uncertainly.

"Was your heart beating fast earlier?" Harry then burst out laughing. While Cleo looked at him half annoyed.

"Why are you even laughing?" Cleo asked with all of her will to rebel.

Harry was still holding it in and laughing, then replied.

"Of course, because your question is so funny!" Harry said it made Cleo keep staring at him. Harry then continued his speech.

"You should ask about whose heartbeat was beating fast."

Harry added.

"If you want to know, ask yourself about that. Then you will know the answer because you whom feel it more."

Cleo blushed. It was only then that she realized that the heartbeat she that questioning was her own heartbeat. Harry continued to hold Cleo close to his side.

"You- won't let me go?" Cleo asked with all displeasure. Harry looked at him defiantly.

"What if I don't want to?" he asked deliberately and continued to read the change in Cleo's facial expression that she showed to him.

So, it's great fun not to stop it!

Cleo became flustered.

"Then in that case, does that mean we will continue in this position?" Cleo asked silly. Harry responded casually.

"Yes. It doesn't matter if you want it," Harry said softly beside Cleo's ear. Making Cleo instantly feel the hairs on her neck stand up in amusement

"Don't make up fake stories. I don't want it. And stop teasing me!" Cleo turned sharply, "I just don't like it, do I?"

Harry then moved closer. Leaning in her face and giving a kiss. Harry kissed Cleo still on the lips. And didn't let her escape. However, Cleo pushed reflexively and kept her distance.

"Don't play around. And this is an order!"

Harry didn't seem concerned.

Harry gave both of them a warmer kiss after he took Cleo's hand. Grabbing that face to get closer to him and sticking to each other for a longer kiss. Crushing it and channeling the feelings until it lost control when his kiss got a response back.
