Tongue Tied [H.S]

006

Another 30 minutes or so pass with me asking Harry numerous questions, not like I was getting any serious responses from him or anything. Just him commenting on my appearance and being a smart ass. I'm surprised my dad hasn't come in and stopped the session yet. Maybe he's waiting for me to prove that I can fulfil his place in The Commission.

Come on Luna. You can do this.

"so, Harry" I confidently say to him. Ready to get out some answers. Harrys piercing green eyes look up to meet with mine. Staring at me with a smirk on his face. "how can I help you darling" he mumbles to me, maintaining eye contact.

"well, you could help me by giving me some answers." I respond, leaning forward in my chair to rest my elbows on the table in front of me.

Harry copies my gesture and rests his elbows on the table. Our faces just inches apart. "I'll make you a deal. I'll answer any question you want to ask me" harry responds, pausing at the end.

"okay, deal" I cut him off.

"IF... you give me a quickie in the bathroom" he whispers to me, chuckling to himself and leaning back in his chair.

I scoff at his response. "you're disgusting, you know that? Just because you have a pretty face doesn't mean you can do and say what you want" I say to him before standing up and heading towards the door.

"so, you think I'm pretty" harry yells out to me. I can just hear the smirk on his face from the way he worded that.

I turn to face him. "I'll be back tomorrow to ask you more questions. I suggest changing that attitude of yours." I glare at him before opening the door and walking back into the office to meet with my father.

"I'm sorry dad I really tried, he's a dick" I say whilst walking into the room, slouching down in the chair next to him, watching harry get taken away by the guards through the glass.

"that's okay, like you said in there, you'll try again tomorrow. I'm actually going to assign you to his case. He spoke with you more than he spoke with any of us, maybe if he gets comfortable around you, he'll start talking" my dad responds to me, placing his hand on my shoulder in an attempt to comfort me.

"really?" I question my dad. "you're actually going to let me do that again?"

"sure, why not" my dad responds whilst standing up in his chair, signalling to the door. "I see potential in you Luna, I believe that you can get him to talk"

"it may take a while. He's a smart ass" I say to my dad while we walk to the elevator together.

"that's okay, hey, what do you say we call it a day and grab you and Stella some pizzas on the way home for an early dinner?" my dad looks at me and smiles, pulling me in for a hug. I always feel so short standing next to my dad, considering he's like 6'4" and I'm only 5'5".

"sounds good dad" I mumble into his chest.

Arriving home with the pizzas, I see stella run out the front door and towards the car. She's got her pyjamas on already and its only 4:00. "hey Stell, miss us?" I ask her, bending down and giving her a hug.

"nah, we had a really fun day, watched some movies, baked cookies" Stella replied, muffled into my hair. "I'm just excited for the pizza."

"ouch, good thing we didn't get any pizza for you then huh?" I chuckle back to her, watching her face drop. "I'm kidding, we got you Hawaiian, extra pineapple" I say, passing her pizza box to her and watching her skip back inside.

We spend the rest of the night around the T.V. watching movies and playing board games. I didn't get to bed until around 11:30, I jump in the shower and get ready for bed, considering I have to sit in with Harry for god knows how long tomorrow. Hopefully I get some answers from him.
