Vindicate || Devilish Sequel

Capitŭlum Octo

I was woken up by the evil sound of my alarm clock going off. Shit, I forgot to turn it off.

"Shut up." I whined hitting the button.

I rolled up to Harry's side but the only thing I found was a cold and empty mattress. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. Oh no, not again.

I jumped off bed and put some clothes on. I went to the bathroom looking for him; it was empty. I opened the window in case he was outside but the same. I let myself fell on the bed and covered my face. "I'm so stupid."

"Looking for someone, angel?" I heard him saying. I uncovered my face and saw him standing at my door wearing nothing but his black boxer briefs with a cheeky smiled on his face and a tray with breakfast in his hands. Harry walked over to me and left the tray on the bed. "You thought I had left again, didn't you?" He whispered as he hugged me.

"You weren't next to me when I woke up so I-"

"Because I went to get breakfast." The curly haired guy said, cutting me off.

My eyes widened when I finally realised what that meant. "Did my mum see you?"

"No. She isn't home actually." He grabbed a paper from the tray and handed it to me. "This note was on the kitchen counter."

'I went to for some supplies at the market. I'll be home for lunch!

Love,
Mum'

I felt relived after reading the note. I didn't know how I was going to explain Harry spending the night here so that my mum hadn't seen him was something good. "I need to get my own place." I whispered.

"Why don't you move in with me, angel?" Harry's sudden offer took me by surprise.

"What?" I asked astonished.

"Yeah, isn't that what humans do when they're together?"

"Well... Yeah. When they're a couple and have been together for a while." I bit my lip clueless about what to say to his offer. Did he really want me to move in with him? I mean we had just got back together. Everything is happening all too soon. "I-I don't know Harry. You just came back and moving in together is something important." I said. "You have to prove to me that you're not going to disappear again. Besides... We're not really a couple." I looked down feeling stupid. What an awkward morning talk.

"Why not? Wait... Is it because I haven't done that rite of asking you to be my girlfriend?" The curly haired guy asked in a sceptical tone. I grabbed a toast and took a bite and then a sip of orange juice. "You humans have too many rules." He said a little annoyed.

We had breakfast in silence. I could feel his eyes on me but I didn't want to look at him. I wonder if there's any book about dating demons: 'How to date a demon 101'; yeah that would be really helpful.

"For how long are you going to play the ignore game?" Harry suddenly asked me.

"I'm not playing any game." I said. "I'm just having breakfast." I took the last sip of orange juice.

"Well you haven't talked in all that time." He pointed out.

"I'm doing it now, aren't I?"

"Raiza."

"I'm going to take a shower." I stood up and went to my wardrobe to grab some clothes. He stood up and followed me into the bathroom. I turned around and looked at him, he was taking his underwear off. "What are you doing?" I asked, stopping him.

"I'm going to take a shower." Harry said giving me an 'isn't it obvious' look.

"No you're not. I AM going to take a shower."
