Hide from 'Falling' || H.S

Chapter 41 - Harry | Teasing*

"Awe you think I'm pretty, Romeo?" she mocked, visibly annoyed and still motionless under my strong grip. She hadn't really been flattered by my compliment. What a surprise.
"Shall we make this a new morning ritual, Juliet?" I replied with a smirk, my cross necklace dangling in her face.

Ashley scoffed furiously, her nostrils quivering. She had that one wrinkle sticking out prominently on her forehead again, she always had that when she got angry. Which of course was always the case when I was around.

"And what do you dream about at night?" she huffed with an eye roll.

I squeezed my hand around her neck tighter in response, because by now she knows exactly how much I hated it when she did that. Now that the blanket was no longer covering her, I had a good view of her exposed torso. Still, my gaze never left her face. Her lips formed a thin line and her eyes reflected confusion. It was interesting to see her so close, because after all, this does not happen rarely.

And that we were both half naked, I actually liked almost the most. "Do you really want to know what exactly I'm dreaming about?" I asked her with a grin.

"No, and now get the hell off me!" she hissed, her eyes still narrowed and her cheeks pink. She then tried to free herself from my grips around her neck and wrists, but without any success.

"Oh, what a pity, I'm sure you would have liked it." I whispered, waiting for her reaction. "Because you appeared in it." I added, her breathing increased. My own breath brushed her face and with a satisfied smirk I let her go.

I then climbed down from her, on the side where I had slept and where my nightstand was. There I reached into the secret hiding place which I had discovered last night and brought both USBs to light.

Ashley, who covered herself with the blanket, examined me with an angry look. She let her gaze wander briefly over my body and I knew that she liked the sight. Even yesterday when I was changing she couldn't resist checking me out.

Her gaze stopped on my upper body tattoos and when she noticed how she stared at me, she looked back into my face with a red head. My face plastered a satisfied smirk and I arched an eyebrow scrutinizingly. "Stared enough?" I teased her.

I knew by now how much she hated my teasing comments. Her face always flushed then or she bit her teeth angrily. "I wasn't staring!" she replied sternly, to which I just started snickering. "Mmm certainly, darling."

Then I demonstratively waved the two USBs around in front of her face. She followed them with her blue eyes like a target she never lets out of her sight. And to annoy her even more, because that was my favorite thing to do at the moment, I just put the two USBs in my boxers. "They are safe there now. Unless of course you'd like to get them back, in which case I certainly won't stop you."

"Fuck you!" she growled, angrily slamming her clenched fist on the mattress next to her. "You're always so cute when you get mad," I teased her only more, knowing that it would make her boil with rage. Then, without turning around again, I left the room and locked myself in the bathroom. The last thing I saw was Ashley's jaw dropped.

I changed my blood soaked bandage in the bathroom and when I came back Ashley had already dressed and stormed past me into the bathroom as well.

"Hurry up we have to go. Otherwise I'll leave you here," I warned her through the closed door. I grabbed the shirt I had stolen yesterday and pulled it over my head. We urgently need to get more clothes and also something to eat. I'm starving because the last time I ate something was several hours ago.
