One Wild Night-Chapter 485 Romantic
Aaron and Harry spent over an hour talking about Candace and Jamal and trying to figure out the best way they could welcome them and make them not just feel like they were welcome but also make them know that they were family."I want to go home...""No. I'm not letting you do that," Harry cut in before Aaron could finish."Apart from the fact that I no longer have to worry about Sara showing up since the truth is in the open now, I have you and your sister. I feel much better...""Dad, I'm not letting you out of the hospital until I'm completely convinced that you are fine and won't break down again. It's not up for a debate," Harry insisted stubbornly."I don't mind receiving treatment at home," Aaron pleaded, but Harry wouldn't hear of it."The hospital is fine.""So she re are you going to sleep? What about Jade?" Aaron asked, reminding Harry that Jade was still waiting."Don't worry about her. She can sleep in the car while I stay up here with you. I can have the couch," Harry said glancing at the couch they had brought into the room a while ago.Aaron eyed him with disapproval, "Do you think she chose to stay back here so she would sleep in the car? She chose to stay back because she wants to be with you. Does it make sense that she is going to sleep in the car while you are in here? She should have as well just stayed back at home. At least the bed over there would be more comfortable than the car," Aaron said, and Harry frowned. "So what do you want me to do?""You can stay back in the car with her, and then let's go home in the morning. It is more comfortable for everyone if I receive treatment at home. That way, your sister can move in with us at once, and you all get to sleep on your bed, so I don't have to feel like shit for making you stay out here with me when you look so stressed," Aaron said, and Harry sighed."Fine. I will see what I can do about taking you home tomorrow. But I'm not staying in the car while you are alone in here," Harry said, and Aaron shook his head. "I don't have to be alone. You can ask one of the nurses to check on me at intervals. Although, I doubt that's necessary. I'm exhausted and want to sleep," Aaron said and rolled his eyes when Harry looked at him doubtfully."At least go out and check on the girl! She has been out for a while now," Aaron said, and Harry silently agreed with his dad. He wondered what Jade had been up to. "I will go see what she's doing. I will be back," Harry said as he headed for the door."You finally manned up and told her you like her, huh?" Aaron asked before Harry could open the door.Harry turned to look at him, "She told you that?""Not in those exact words. The girl loves you. So who is the girl that is coming over?" Aaron asked, and Harry returned to his father's bedside."She is a friend. Jade's friend," Harry said, and Aaron looked at Harry with interest."You are not interested in her, are you?" "I'm not.""Good. I trust you plan to tell her that you have feelings for Jade and won't lead her on?" Aaron asked, and Harry gave him a nod."I intend to.""I take it you are sure of her feelings for you now, right?" Aaron asked, but Harry shrugged."We are on our way there. Why? Did she say something?" Harry asked, and Aaron's eyes twinkled."She implied that I was going to be her father-in-law," Aaron said, and Harry chuckled."Isn't she running ahead of herself?" Harry asked no one in particular."Make sure you let her sweat a little," Aaron said with a wicked grin, and Harry grinned back."Sure. I'm not cheap," Harry said, and Aaron chuckled."I'm so proud of you. Don't keep her waiting much longer. You can go now," Aaron said, and Harry gave him a nod before walking away to go find Jade.As Harry climbed the short flight of stairs that led to the rooftop he smiled as he thought of Jade and how she had gone from playing games to so openly declaring her feelings for him. He couldn't help wondering if she would be able to patiently wait until he was ready to officially ask her out. He stopped when he saw her staring out into the night with her back to him. "A penny for your thoughts," Harry said, and his heart skipped a beat when she beamed a smile at him as she turned to face him.She was breathtakingly gorgeous, and it warmed his heart that she was as eager to have him to herself as he was to have her to himself."You don't have to pay. I will tell you for free. I was thinking about you," Jade said as she remained where she stood, waiting for Harry to move closer."Really? What were you thinking about?" Harry asked as he began to approach her again."I was trying to figure out when I started falling for you," Jade said, and Harry merely stared at her for a moment."Have you figured it out yet?" Harry asked, and Jade grinned."Not sure. All the articles on Bryan have been taken off the internet. Thank you," Jade said, changing the subject, and Harry shrugged dismissively."I was only doing my job.""Then thanks for doing such a fine job," Jade said, and Harry gave her an amused smile before turning away from her."Would you say you are the jealous type?" Jade asked curiously, trying to figure out if Harry would have acted the way Bryan was acting.Harry considered her briefly. Wondering where the question was coming from before considering the question itself, "Isn't it natural to be jealous when you love someone?" Harry asked as he turned away from her and leaned on the rail, looking skyward.
"Well, yeah, but how would you handle jealousy? Would you say you handle it in a good way or not?"
"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..." 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚w𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
"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."
