One Wild Night

"I\'ve never been in a situation where I had to handle it. I will answer your question if or when that happens," Harry said, and Jade sighed as she turned away from him and leaned on the railing too.

"So you weren\'t jealous?" Jade asked, and Harry didn\'t need to ask what she meant. "No."

"No? But you said you liked me back then," Jade reminded him.

"Yes, I did. But you weren\'t mine to be jealous of back then. Your boyfriend was the one in the position to be jealous not me. I had your attention, howbeit briefly," Harry said with a small smile as he remembered that night, and Jade sighed as she looked at him.

"He was jealous but that does not mean he loved me."

"That\'s his problem, not yours. He didn\'t deserve you nor the love and loyalty you showed him. Maybe I should have just snatched you from him back then," Harry said, and Jade giggled.

"Do you think you could have been able to do that?" Jade asked, and Harry gave her a confident nod without looking at her.

"If I wanted to, I would have. And I think you would have come to me too," Harry said, and Jade\'s heart fluttered.

"I wish you did," she said softly.Harry turned to her and grazed her chin with his knuckle as he gazed into her eyes, "There is no hurry sugar. I can still do that even now," Harry said as he watched her eyes flutter, and then he kissed the tip of her nose.

"First time I saw you, I thought you looked like a goddess, now you look like a fairy princess," Harry said, and Jade giggled.

"You sound as though you\'ve seen one. And why don\'t I look like a goddess anymore?" Jade asked with a mock scowl.

"I don\'t think goddesses keep their hair as short as yours," Harry said, and Jade raised a hand to her hair.

"Do you prefer it long or short?"

"I prefer whichever is convenient for you. You are beautiful regardless of the length of your hair," Harry assured her, and Jade felt a lump form in her throat.

She couldn\'t remember the last time she had been touched by such compliments. Maybe it was because she knew Harry wasn\'t the type to say something he didn\'t mean so she trusted his words and took them to heart. Not wanting him to know just how affected she was by his words, Jade cleared her throat, "You didn\'t think I was pretty when you came to my house," Jade reminded him.

"I wasn\'t happy to see you that way. You looked like hell!" Harry said with a disproving frown and Jade laughed.

"So if I was your girlfriend or wife would you stop being attracted to me because I look that way?" Jade asked and Harry shook his head.

"I would never let you look that way. You will be too much in love with yourself to neglect yourself in that manner," Harry said, and Jade smiled.

"I never knew you could be this sweet or romantic. Now I\'m wondering how you stayed single this whole time," Jade said, and Harry shrugged.

"Maybe being romantic comes naturally to me when I\'m with you. Perhaps I was waiting for you."

"If you keep saying such sweet stuff I might not be able to wait until next week," Jade threatened, and Harry chuckled.

"Enough of the romantic talk then."

"So what do you think about Candace?" Jade asked, changing the subject.

"Am I supposed to think anything? She is my blood. And as far as we share the same blood she is amazing. We Jonas are exceptional beings," Harry said with a proud smirk, and Jade laughed.

"I don\'t think I\'ve laughed this much in a long while," Jade said, and Harry scoffed.

"Yet you said I was boring..."

"You have to let that go. Forgive and forget," Jade said as she rubbed his arm in a placating manner.

"Maybe someday I will forgive you.""By the way, how is Aaron doing?" Jade asked with concern.

"He is okay. You need to rest now. It\'s late already. Do you mind crashing in the car?" Harry asked, and Jade batted her lashes at him.

"With you?" She asked with a pretty pout and Harry looked at her thoughtfully for a moment making her raise a brow."What are you thinking?" She asked curiously.

"I\'m just thinking that you have the potential of becoming a very clingy girlfriend. I might need to have a rethink," Harry said and Jade giggled.

"It\'s too late for that, pal. You should have thought of that before making me fall for you," Jade said as she patted his shoulders in a friendly manner.

"I didn\'t make you do anything. I want to stay up with my dad in the room. You can stay in the car," Harry suggested.

"I will stay with you in the room. You honestly don\'t expect me to sleep in the parking lot alone, do you?" Jade asked, and harry raised a brow.

"Why not? I thought you are fearless and can take care of yourself?" He asked, reminding her of how she had been bent on sending him away when he visited her apartment.

"I don\'t care what you say. I\'m not staying in the car alone. Let\'s go to the room," Jade said as she tucked her arm into his.

"Did you tell my dad that you were going to be his future daughter-in-law?" Harry asked as they both headed for the door to return inside the hospital.

"Yes. Why? You don\'t know I plan to get married to you?" Jade asked as she looked up at him and Harry chuckled.

"We are not even dating yet..."

"Sure. That\'s why it is future daughter-in-law. We can take it one at a time. But I intend to be your wife," Jade said, and Harry grinned.

"We will see about that."
