TREPIDATION // h.s

CHAPTER 12 //

Delilah Allen

If I'm going to be completely honest,  Harry's girlfriend, or hookup, or whatever she is, coming over last night was a little disheartening. 

I don't really understand why, but I just felt a little disappointed and maybe irritated.

And honestly a little offended too. Was he so bored with me that he had to make other plans?

I don't know why this is still bothering me, or why I'm still even thinking about it. Since when has Harry concerned me? 

I think the wine just got to my head last night and made me want to do some things. 

It's not unbelievable even, he really isn't the most unattractive man I've ever seen. It's very possible that after a few drinks he might appear attractive to me.

He does have really pretty eyes and a really pretty face and a really pretty body and really pretty hands and he smells really good and he's just... I don't know. 

Like I said though, Harry doesn't concern me.

I got up early again today to go up to the pool, and since I was leaving at 14:00 to get ready for the party with Quinn I wanted to get a few hours in. Nothing interesting happened today. I had to help one little girl out, but that was about it. I also cleaned the pool and helped out washing the dishes at the bar.

Finally, I could leave. I was so excited for the party, and just getting all dressed up. Quinn decided to go as an angel, so naturally, I'm going as a devil. It's not usually what I would go for, but I'm excited to go out of my comfort zone a little.

I'm laying on my bed, waiting for Quinn to get out of the shower. I wonder what my mom is up to? I hope Jack is okay too. I didn't think I would miss him as much as I do.

I get up and take my clothes off, just wrapping a towel around me. This girl needs to hurry up, she's been in there for ages now. I knock on the door loudly.

"Quinn hurry up !" I shout budging the door open a little bit.

I sit back on the bed, and moments later she walks through the door.

"Lila you need to help me !" She says erratically, holding waxing strips in her hands.

"Quinn we're close, but not that close," I say hoping she doesn't expect me to wax her ... down there.

"As if, you have to help me wax my back ." She holds it out. I take it and look at her with a raised eyebrow.

"I have dark hair okay. Please it will take like 10 minutes tops ." 

She lays on her stomach on the bed, and I start waxing her. It must have been very painful because her entire back is a bloody red when I'm finished.

"Okay, I have to get in the shower now, or I'll be late," I hurry to the bathroom.

"Thanks ." She says in agonizing pain. Still cringing at her burning back.

I rush to the bathroom and swing the door open. With the first step I take on the wet tile floors, my stomach drops as I slip. I fall forward, but something stops me. I try to regain my balance, but I fail, and fall forward, taking whatever is in front of me down with me.

"Ow," Harry says, squinting. I am laying fully on top of him, in just a towel. He opens his eyes and smiles. This has got to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. His eyes look so vivid and green, joyful even. A few wet curls are hanging on his face, and his beautiful smile is wide and bright. The sight of his smile gives me butterflies.
