CHAPTER 14
Closing my eyes briefly to get a moment of calm I felt the cold metal of my dulled blade as I turned it in my left hand. While I leaned into the soft white square cushions of Harrison's sofa that was thankfully warm as I had been sitting here for a few minutes.
Opening my eyes, I looked at the piece of cloth that Harrison had used to put pressure on my wound. Thankfully it was just a flesh wound, a very painful flesh wound I add. Harrison had said and I concurred with him after remembering my Military days. There were a lot of flesh wounds back then!
Turning my attention to Harrison, he laid on the sofa, topless, with his head resting on my leg and I played with his beautifully soft hair. I know it's weird but I always found this calming, and he didn't mind.
Sadly taking my attention away from him, I looked to the other sofa adjacent to our one to see Alessandria and Hellen in their black and grey Procurator cloaks and Nemesio in his forsaken blue and red fiery armour sitting comfortably together. But I couldn't believe that the Inquisitor had his feet on Harrison's brown oak coffee table. Even worse he was gently humming!
I hate humming or anything that creates extra noise. How dare he? I don't want to keep listening to a barely audible humming. It's so annoying. But I kept playing with Harrison's beautiful hair.
Although I did see Nemesio admiring Harrison's small cottage, you might as well call it, and I too had an appreciative look. Admiring the old drawings on the walls, the stove and the lovely fireplace. As well as the new items that I had bought us when Harrison made me buy some stuff so we could call the place ours. I didn't mind so I bought some small paintings of Military battles and some books on Military history from my room at the castle.
I know normally I would have hated the idea of moving these paintings and books. Yet now I didn't even hesitate. I knew I loved him and I was more than ready to start this new chapter of my... Our life together. Just for the hell of it, I looked down and
gave Harrison a quick kiss.
