One Wild Night-Chapter 499 Finders Keepers

Harry wasn't sure how he was going to face his father or even face all three of them together at the same time. Candace and Tom were annoying enough. His dad would be worse.

He could tell they were probably laughing at his expense right now. And the person responsible for it all was hiding here, leaving him to face all the embarrassment alone?

No, way! There was no way he would let her hide. He would be damned if he faced that alone.

Harry headed for Jade's door and knocked on it, making Jade's heart skip as her gaze shot to the door.

Who was there? Jade mused as she dove under the duvet and covered herself. She couldn't face anyone yet. Opening the door meant the possibility of facing Harry. She couldn't. Not yet. She needed time to work up her courage and assure herself that it wasn't a big deal. She wondered if this was how Adam and Eve felt while hiding in the garden after sinning against God.

Harry knocked again when he heard the movement on the bed but got no response.

"I know you are in there. If you don't say a word, I'm going to assume you want me to come inside, and I will," Harry said, and when Jade said nothing, he turned the knob and opened the door.

-n0ve1、com Seeing the way she had covered herself up on the bed, Harry didn't know whether to feel amused her to be mad at her.

"I take it you are hiding because you know what you've done," Harry said as he shut the door behind him and rested his back against it.

Jade said nothing as she held on tightly to the edge of the duvet and pressed her lips together to keep herself from saying anything despite how hot she was beginning to feel.

"It was one thing to shower in my bathroom. I got the message. But what were you thinking leaving your...." Harry paused and closed his eyes, unable to bring himself to say the words.

"Why did you leave that in there when you knew I wouldn't be coming back alone?" Harry asked with a frown.

"It wasn't intentional," Jade said in a small voice.

"Did you say something?" Harry asked patiently.

Jade closed her eyes, "I said it wasn't intentional," Jade repeated.

"I can't hear you. Do you plan on having this conversation while hiding under that duvet like a kid? Are you going to stay there all day?" Harry asked as he moved closer to the bed and tugged on the duvet, but Jade held on to it firmly.

"Don't! I can't look at you right now," she murmured.

"You've got to be kidding me," Harry said with a scoff as he got on the bed and pulled on the duvet while she kept trying to hold on to it.

"This is so childish for a smart lady like you," Harry said with a shake of his head, and Jade pouted as she let go of the duvet and sat up, and Harry pulled it away from her body and threw it aside.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to leave it in your room. It fell in my hurry to leave your room when I heard the doorbell," Jade rushed to explain without meeting his gaze, and Harry sighed as he looked at her face, which was glistening with sweat.

So it wasn't intentional. Well, that meant she must be feeling more embarrassed than he was. It served her right. He could as well return a dose of all the taunts he had received so far.

"Jamal and Candace saw it. Tom already heard about it too, and I'm sure my dad is aware of it too," Harry said, and Jade bit her lower lip.

"You told them?"

"I didn't have to. Jamal obviously hasn't been taught to keep people's private business to himself. If Candace weren't my sister, I would think he was a Hank," Harry said, and Jade glared at him.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you think you are in any position to be mad at me right now? Jamal thinks it's mine. He thinks I wear the same undies as his mother. Can you believe that?" Harry asked incredulously, and Jade tittered before she could stop herself.

"You think this is funny?" Harry asked, and she giggled as she bobbed her head.

"If you think about it, it's funny. Or maybe not," she added when Harry glared at her.

"Your stupid brother was even making gay jokes," Harry said, but there was no annoyance or irritation in his voice this time.

"We both know Tom was joking. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put you in an awkward position," Jade said without meeting his gaze.

"You are almost always putting me in awkward positions, esquire. And I can't say I like it," Harry said, and Jade raised a brow.

"When did I ever put you in an awkward position before now?"

"The whole stuff with Aurora. Didn't you set me up on a date with her after I asked you not to?" Harry said, and Jade rolled her eyes.

"That's just twice. And you could have ended things after that night...." Jade let the rest of her words trail off when Harry shook his head and started to rise from the bed.

"Fine, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I will explain the situation to them if you want me to," Jade offered as she moved closer to him. Although she hoped he wouldn't let her go through with it. That would be too embarrassing for her.

Harry sighed as he moved away from her, "I don't think that would be necessary. They will believe what they want to regardless. And I don't owe them any explanation anyway. I thought you deliberately left it there, but since you didn't, let's forget about it. I left it under my pillow. You can pick it up later...."

"Or maybe not," Harry said as he rose from the bed and headed for the door while Jade remained where she sat as she watched him leave while wondering what he meant by or maybe not.

Unable to resist the urge to tease her, Harry turned to her when he got to the door, "You came with more than one pair of that, right?" Harry asked with a naughty grin at the thought that she might not be wearing undies beneath the shorts she was wearing.

His lips twitched when she blushed as she asked, "Why?"

"I'm just wondering if you are wearing anything under your shorts," Harry said, and Jade's jaw dropped.

"Harry? Are you talking naughty..."

"Why do you seem so surprised? You talked naughty to me first over the phone, remember?"

"But that was different...."

"It's okay when you do it, not when I do it?" Harry asked, and before Jade could respond, he asked again, "By the way, I can see you are not wearing a bra. You should wear one when we have people around unless you don't mind me staring at your boobs in the presence of others," Harry said, cutting off whatever she wanted to say as he observed the way her boobs were outlined in the tank top she was wearing.

"So, are you wearing panties?" Harry asked, and Jade cleared her throat as she folded both hands in front of her. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

"Yes," Jade said, ignoring the embarrassment she was feeling.

"Good then. I don't have to give it back," Harry said, and Jade raised a brow.

"Was that why you said maybe not? Do you plan to keep it?" Jade asked curiously since that didn't sound like something Harry would do.

"Yes. Finders keepers," Harry drawled, and Jade couldn't tell why; as surprising as Harry's words were, the thought of Harry keeping her underwear made butterflies flutter in her belly.

"Jamal found it, not you..."

"He found it in MY bedroom. It's mine. I think you should wear it on our first night...."

"Our first night?" Jade asked when Harry paused.

"On second thoughts. It doesn't have to be at night. Our first time together. I would love to see it on you," Harry said, and Jade felt her mouth go dry.

"Will you give me a heads up to wear it when the time comes?"

"I might be the one to put it on you and take it off you since I'm keeping it," Harry said with a wink and chuckled when Jade opened her mouth and shut it speechlessly.

"WOW! Do you have multiple personalities?" Jade asked, not understanding how he could make such a personality switch so quickly. There was no way this person was the same Harry that had stayed so still last night as he cuddled her to sleep.

"If I did, which personality would you choose? Playboy Harry or Virgin Harry?" Harry asked with a slightly raised brow.

"I don't know...."

"I thought as much," Harry said with a smirk.

"Would you like me to tint my hair and get piercings like your brother too? Maybe get a tattoo of your name on my chest?" Harry asked, and when Jade kept looking at him in confusion as though she was trying to figure out what he was saying or what he was thinking.

"Weren't you the one who told Tom that good girls love bad boys? You are one of the reasons he did all that double personality shit to Lucy, aren't you?" He asked and chuckled when her mouth fell open in surprise.

"Don't look so surprised. Get your pretty bottom off the bed and come to the living room before you make them think I'm doing something in here with you," Harry said as he turned the knob and walked out of the room, leaving Jade staring at his back speechlessly.

Tom told Harry what she said about good girls liking bad guys? Was that the reason he had been acting that way? This couldn't be just an act. He was too good at making her uncomfortable for it to be all an act.

Was he really going to keep her thong? What would he do with it? She imagined him sniffing it and masturbating to it but quickly discarded the thought. Harry wasn't the sort of person to do that.

Or maybe he was? Was she ever going to be able to figure him out?
