CHAPTER 12

Alycia's Pov.

"Alright mate...yeah I'll call you in the morning. Okay bye."

He hung up the phone as I now stay leaned against the counter but with my sweatshirt now back on. He was still shirtless and looking fucking divine. I peeled my eyes away from him and up to his eyes. He instantly did the same as we locked eyes.

"So...that was..." He said as he tried to find words. I cleared my throat and nodded. "Yeah." I said because honestly, what the fuck do I say?

He grabbed his shirt and slipped it back on.

"I don't want you to think that's why I asked you to stay though. It was not for any reason like that. That just...happened to happen." I nodded at his words.

"I know Harry. It's okay. I told you to kiss me." He let a very small smirk cross his face. "Well i'm very glad you did, I can't lie."

I chuckled lightly and walked to the other side of his kitchen nonchalantly and just looked around.

I looked over at him and he was just looking at me with a smirk.

"Weren't you ordering food?" I said as I cocked my eyebrows. "Oh so now she's feisty?" He teased and grabbed his phone off the counter.

"When was I not?" I retorted.

He rolled his eyes while keeping a smirk on his face.

"You intimidate me." He mocked in, what I was assuming, his version of my voice. I did tell him that. Which wasn't a lie. I also do get shy around him sometimes because he intimidated me so I guess i'm jot always feisty around him but i'm not gonna admit that.

"I changed my mind." I lied and he pushed himself off of the counter he was leaned against. "And why is that?" He questioned and walked over to me. I shrugged as I kept my spot on the opposite side of the island in the kitchen from where he was.

He walked over and leaned beside me on the island.

"On a serious note this time...do you want dessert?" He asked but still had his fucking smirk plastered on his face. I honestly can't tell if he's being serious even though he says he is.

"No, thank you. I'm good."

His eyes stayed locked with mine before he nodded.

"As you wish." He said quietly and typed away on his phone.

After a while, his food arrived in which he quickly devoured. I'm pretty sure he had smoked before because he seemed to have the munchies majorly. He tried to feed me half of his food because he 'felt bad' i wasn't eating. I literally told him i've already eaten.

I also met his adorable dog Jake. He's an angel. We were all just laying in his living room now working on music while his tv played episodes of Shameless in the background.

I can't help that my mind keeps replaying his words 'i need you closer' over and over again. Like fuck. It just keeps replaying in my mind.

"I know you've got something up your sleeve Alycia. Let me hear it." He stated as he stayed sprawled out on his couch with his journal resting in his lap.

We started drinking like an hour ago and now he was sipping on gin and I was drinking wine.

I sighed and told him to grab his guitar and his face lit up.
