Chapter 497 Virgin Harry

Once Harry opened the door, he made a dash for his bedroom with Jamal who had said he wanted to use the restroom, while Tom, Candace, and Aaron followed from behind.

In his hurry to get Jamal into the bathroom, Harry missed the thong that was lying on the foot of his bed, and once he opened the bathroom door, he raised a brow when a familiar fragrance hit him.

Why did his bathroom smell like Jade? He mused as his eyes moved around, taking note of the moistness in the atmosphere and the wet floor.

Did Jade shower in his bathroom?

"Can I sit?" Jamal asked impatiently when it seemed like Harry was too distracted to pay him any mind.

Harry shifted his gaze to Jamal, "Yes. Do you need help?" Harry asked wanting to help Jamal unfasten the button of his shorts.

"No, thanks. You can wait outside," Jamal said, and Harry looked at the kid in amusement who was waiting for him to leave before taking off his shorts.

Harry stepped out of the bathroom and looked around his bedroom. He could see a few signs that someone had been in his bedroom.

A crease on his bed, a not-so-visible trail of water on the floor, a bit of wetness on his dressing table, the room still smelt a bit of her shower gel, or was it her shampoo?

From the look of things it seemed like she had only left there a short while ago before they got into the house.

Did the shower in her bathroom stop working? Or was this one of her little games? Or perhaps it was some sort of message? Just what had Jade Hank been up to in his bedroom? Harry mused with a sigh.

As much as he tried to understand what was going on in her head, most times it was hard to figure it out.

The same way he couldn't understand how he had let himself be talked into cuddling her.

Jade had insisted he cuddle her until she fall asleep if he wanted her to spend the night in the car as he asked her to.

That had to have been the most awkward thing he had done in his life. Although he couldn't deny that it had felt nice to have her in his arms that way, but it had also been very tempting and frustrating at the same time.

Trying to act like he was not affected by their proximity, whereas with every breath he took in, his desire for her grew to the point that even she noticed.

Harry lowered himself to the edge of the bed as he recalled all that had happened in the car between them.

By the time they got to Aaron's room from the rooftop, the light in Aaron's room had been switched off, and a nurse was seated beside his bed watching him.

Although Harry had not sent for a nurse as his father had asked him to, it seemed like Aaron had gone ahead to request on for himself so that Harry would have no choice than to spend the night in the car with Jade.

"What do we do?" Jade had asked as they both stood outside the door looking into the room through the glass window on the door. They could make out the nurse's form because of her phone's screen light. She seemed to be busy with her phone.

"You can go to the car..."

"I already told you I'm not sleeping in the car alone," Jade cut in stubbornly.

"There is no space for you to sleep in the room. You barely got off the plane a couple of hours ago, you need to rest. You look exhausted," Harry said, trying to reason with her.

"What makes you think I'm going to be able to get a good rest in the parking lot?" Jade asked with a scoff.

"Then you should have left with Tom. Should I drive you over to Tom's? I'm sure you'd sleep better there. You're stressing me out right now, Jade," Harry complained as he massaged his temple which was beginning to throb.

"Are you okay? Are you having a headache?" She asked in concern touching his arm and Harry sighed.

"If you're so concerned about me then please let's not argue about this. I will feel better if you sleep in the car," Harry said, and Jade's brows pulled together.

"But it's not safe," Jade murmured.

"There nothing to be scared of. The parking lot is secured and I will have one of the security guards keep a close watch on the car while you sleep," Harry suggested.

"My father is going to feel very worried if he sees you sleeping on that tiny couch. Please," Harry added and Jade sighed.

"Will you at least stay with me in the car until I sleep off?" Jade asked, and Harry gave her a nod.

"Sure. I can do that. Let's go," he said as he led her to the parking lot where the car was.

Once he unlocked the door, Jade opened the back passenger door and made herself comfortable on the back seat, and Harry shot her a questioning gaze, "Isn't the front seat more comfortable? You could flatten the seat," Harry suggested, wondering why she chose to sit at the back instead of the front.

"What are you doing?" Jade asked, ignoring his question as she watched him get into the driver's seat.

"Getting into the car. You asked me to keep you company, didn't you?" Harry asked matter of factly as he got

Jade shook her head, "I did, but this is not what I meant. Am I supposed to be talking to your back until I fall asleep? I want you to get into the backseat with me. By stay with me I meant I wanted you to cuddle me until I sleep off," Jade suggested as she patted the space beside her.

"Cuddle?" Harry asked, looking at her incredulously and Jade almost laughed.

"All I want is a cuddle, Harry. I'm not asking you to make love to me. Not that I would mind that though," Jade teased, and Harry raised a brow.

"Jade..."

"C'mon Harry."

"I don't think it's a good idea."

"I will sleep faster and better if you cuddled me. I usually cuddle my teddy bear or my pillow. That's how I'm able to fall asleep comfortably. There is nothing to hold here," Jade said with a sad pout.

"I still don't think it's a good idea. I'm a man. You are a lady," Harry insisted.

"We are not just any random man and lady, Harry. Need I remind you that we kissed earlier? You kissed me. Cuddling shouldn't be a big deal," Jade said patiently.

"Jade..."

"Maybe we should just return to Aaron's room. I can keep watch with you," Jade said as she started to get out of the car.

"You look exhausted," Harry pointed out looking at her tired face. Although she looked better compared to the way he had met her a week ago.

"Yeah. I do feel exhausted, but I guess the situation can't be helped," Jade admitted and Harry sighed as he got out of the driver's seat and went around the car to join her in the back seat.

"By cuddle you are just going to rest your head on my shoulder, right?" Harry asked reluctantly, and Jade bit back a smile.

"Your chest," Jade said, and Harry adjusted to give her room to rest her body against his, and Jade moved closer to him.

Harry cleared his throat as he placed his left arm around her slender body while her head rested on his chest.

They were positioned in such a way that Jade was hugging him since her head was resting on his chest while her right arm was behind him , and her right hand lay on his chest.

Harry swallowed hard as he tried to ignore the feel of her breasts that were pressed against his body.

"Harry?" Jade called softly.

Harry cleared his throat, "Yeah?"

"Why do you seem so different now than you were in your apartment earlier?" Jade asked, and Harry looked down at her.

"How different?" Harry asked, and Jade laughed softly.

"You are back to acting like virgin Harry," Jade pointed out.

"Maybe you ought to be more scared of the virgin Harry," Harry suggested quietly.

Harry's attention returned to the present and his gaze moved to the bathroom door when Jamal called out to him from behind the door.

"So this is where you live?" Jamal asked curiously as he looked around the fancy bathroom.

"Yes. Why?" Harry asked curiously.

"Are you as rich as Tom?" Jamal asked as he flushed the toilet and washed his hands at the sink.

Harry smiled to himself, "Why? Are you going to choose him over me if he is richer?"

"Is that a yes or a no?" Jamal asked as he walked out of the bathroom and Harry chuckled.

"Well, I'm not as rich as he is, but I'm not doing so badly," Harry said, and Jamal nodded thoughtfully.

"I figured. His house is much bigger than yours," Jamal said as he looked around the bedroom, and Harry got off the bed when Candace knocked on the door.

"Harry? Is Jamal not done yet?" Candace asked.

"He is done. We are coming out now," Harry said as he headed for the door, but at the same time Jamal's gaze fell on the white colored piece of cloth at the foot of the bed.

"I think your hankie fell," Jamal announced as he picked it up at the same time that Harry opened the door.
