Aphrodite // H.S. (Mature)

"Are you busy later?" Lauren asked as I typed my essay on the computer in our school's library. "No, probably not." Over the weekend I stayed home, did some Christmas shopping, and saw a movie with my mom. I only saw Harry once since last Thursday although he has texted me a few times.

"I have to help Harry move after school, you should come help." It honestly doesn't sound that fun but if it means I get to see him, why not? "Yeah sure." I nodded. Today being Wednesday, I actually don't have a lot to do. I got all my work done and nothing's due until Friday so I should be okay to help out.

...

I met Lauren at her locker and walked back to her house with her. We were gonna have to start driving to school or getting rides since the snows starting to stick.

"How's Henry?" I keep forgetting I told her I'm seeing a guy named Henry. "He's good." If she ever finds out that Henry wasn't even real she'd be so mad. "Just good?" She asked. "Yeah, we don't really see each other that much." I pulled my jacket closed since the wind started to pick up and I felt slightly uncomfortable having to lie like this.

"But every time you do, you hook up?" She asked. "Um... Yeah, pretty much." I shrugged. "D, when have you ever been that type of girl?" Lauren made it sound like what I was doing was horrible. "What do you mean 'that type of girl'?" I asked slightly offended. "Hooking up with some guy with no strings attached. I would've thought you'd save your virginity for the right guy, not someone who you aren't even dating." I started to get irritated but I couldn't tell her anything.

"But we haven't had sex yet." I said before I could think. "So you're still a virgin?" She seemed to have perked up. "Yeah, I don't want to talk about this anymore though." I said as we neared her house. "Fine." She sighed.

Harry was carrying a box out of the house when we got to the driveway. He walked right passed us without a word and to his car. We walked in and tossed our bags on the couch just as he came back inside.

"I have about 6 more boxes and that's it. They're in my room." He tells us. We go up and grab them, they're not all that heavy but still they're all the way up stairs and then we have to go and get another. Then go to his apartment and carry them all in. This is going to suck to be honest.

When the boxes were all loaded, we got in his car and went to his apartment which I've been wanting to see since he told me about it last week.

We parked close to the entrance and grabbed as much as we could carry. I ended up with a light box and a couple jackets on top. Once inside the apartment I set them down and looked around.

"What do you guys think?" He smiled. There was a kitchen and a living room right next to each other, then a bathroom to the left of the entrance and then what I assume to be his room on the other side of the living room. He was right, it's not much but it'll do since it'll only be him.

"It's nice." Lauren said nodding in approval. "Yeah, it's cute." I say not thinking much about it. "Cute?" He questions. "Yup." I look around again and then back to him. "No it isn't." He tried to argue with me. "Yes it is." "No, it isn't." He had this sort of playful smile on. "Well you asked what we think, and I think its cute." "But it's not cute." "Oh my god will you two stop flirting and go get the rest of the boxes?" Lauren rolled her eyes and left the apartment. He laughed making me smile.

"Say its cute one more time. I dare you." He challenged me as he walked closer. He got right in front of me so I looked up and all I said was "your place is so cute." But held out so for emphasis. I ended up over his shoulder and thrown on his couch. He was on top of me with his face close to mine and I couldn't help but smile. He kissed along my neck slowly and then my jaw, it felt so good I didn't want him to stop. His hand started to creep down my body and stopped right above where I wanted him to touch me most at the moment.
