Chapter 41.Eleanor's POV.I laid in bed unmoving as I stared at the fan rolling above me unable to sleep. It was just dawn and I had retired to my room unable to stay in the sitting room as Annie. I didn't want to be around her. After excusing myself I stayed in my room. It annoyed me that I really didn't have any other hobbies apart from reading and I suddenly didn't want to read right now. I increased the music playing in my ears and I turned, clinging the panda closer to my body.My mind wandered to the night at the park when Ryder had placed the jacket on my body and the way he looked at me and then back at Henry.There was obviously bad blood between them and it was only a matter before I got caught in it and as much as I needed Henry to accomplish what it was I wanted, I still didn't want to be in the center of their fight.Another part of me wondered what could have transpired between them, it wasn't like they attended the same

  Eleanor's POV. I closed the door behind me as my face turned red and I flushed in embarrassment.  I didn't know why I was suddenly acting shy around Henry but I knew just a few minutes ago I was trembling on the inside.  There was something about the way he relaxed on my bed and looked at me with those sparkling blue eyes. I could tell he was tired and I sighed before making my way downstairs to the kitchen.  We had pizza for dinner and while my mother was the worst cook in the country, it was better off having take outs for dinner.  I avoided switching on the lights so as not to disturb anyone who could be downstairs. I reached the kitchen and pulled out the leftover pizza before throwing it in the microwave to heat it up.  As I relaxed against the fridge I saw someone appear beside me, my heart stopped fo

 Eleanor's POV.I dropped the pizza silently on the bedside table and the drink as I drew closer to Henry who was already fast asleep on my bed. He definitely looked different from the bad playboy he was, right now he looked more vulnerable than usual, no heavy expression guarding his emotions, he was peaceful. His hair fell past his eyes and I sat beside him and reached for the bang of hair covering his left eye. It was soft under my touch and I couldn't help but smile when he shivered. I pulled back the hair with a tip of my finger and his face enhanced under the soft glow of my bedside lamp. Henry was handsome no doubt, with those blue eyes that were closed right now, sharp jawline that could cut through the thickest diamond and high cheekbones. His lips were turned in a straight line missing the usual smirk he wore. I've never seen him look so peaceful before, and there was something so soft about the way he

  Henry's POV. I shook my head, dispersing all thoughts about Eleanor as I headed to my motorcycle that was parked just at Eleanor's window.  I ignored the helmet as I usually did and climbed the bike, started the ignition as I raced back home.  I passed by a coffee shop and decided to get some coffee before I went home so I parked at the entrance before heading in. A cold wave from the AC and I shivered. "Shit, I forgot my jersey at Eleanor's," I whispered as I walked to the counter to get my order.  "You seem to spend a lot of time with her lately," A voice sounded from behind me and I recognized it from the first word that escaped his lips. I said nothing to that as my blood heated under my skin and I clenched my fist. Why did he have to be here right now? He just had to ruin the day that had started well for the fi

 Henry's POV.I didn't know if I hadn't heard properly or if the woman had actually just asked of Ryder to Rose. While my brain tried to comprehend why a total stranger would ask for my greatest enemy like she knew him, my eyes were busy trying to find the resemblance in the little girl. It was like I hadn't seen her properly the first time and not my mind was finally putting the pieces together. She had black curly hair that was decorated with ribbons that looked like sword and armor. Her eyes were the most fascinating thing about her. They were grey, the same shade as Ryder's! And I could finally see how she was just like the female version of Ryder. The same way she frowned was the same way he did. And even though he had smiled only when we were younger, they were exactly similar to his. There was no doubt that this was Ryder's little sister! And this woman? I looked back at her, she had bright b
