in my head

Chapter 21

The song ended and I collapsed on the couch slightly out of breath. Timothee lay next to me but before anything else could happen our food arrived.

"What's your favourite movie?" He asked.

"Harry Potter. Don't ask me to choose which one" I said while eating noodles out of a box.

"What house?"

"Which one would you think I'd be in?" I asked him.

He thought for a minute looking at me then thinking some more.

"Slytherin with a mix of hufflepuff"

"Why those?" Wanting to know the reasoning behind his choice.

"Well you're loyal, patient and kind which goes with hufflepuff, but you're also guarded and cautious"

I continued eating my food and put on the 3rd Harry Potter film. We'd eaten our food and finished the film when I realised how late it was.

"You can stay over" I said.

"You sure?"

"Stupid question" I said.

He was getting the couch ready to sleep on and I stood there trying to find the courage in me.

"You can...um...sleep in with me if you want" I said looking down at my feet then lifting my arms up to cover my face.

He walked over to me and grabbed my arms to uncover my face. I chewed my lip, something I did when I was nervous.

"I think I'll take the couch" He said.

My face dropped. Was he serious. I looked at him with sadness and disappointment swimming around my face.

"Lucie I'm joking" He said, smiling.

A frown grew across my face now and I turned and went into my room. Sitting on my bed I heard Timothee behind me. I was facing towards the window, looking out over the city. He went in front of me blocking my view and making me look at him. I fell back on the bed.

"Hey I'm sorry" He said in a childish voice.

I didn't say anything just stared at the ceiling. Before I could do anything he climbed on top of me using his hands to hold himself up.

"That's not fair" I said.

"What's not fair?" He smirked.

He moved his body closer to mine.

"Lucie you know I'm sorry" He whispered in my ear, knowing exactly what he was doing.

"Lucie, Lucie, Lucie, Lucie" Repeating my name over and over again in my ear. My breathing increased but I didn't want to give in to him. So I tried getting up and almost made it to my bathroom until Timothee grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him. He held both my arms and put them above my head before pushing me against the wall.

"Timothee" I said.

"You know you're stubborn" He laughed.

"What...erm no I'm not stubborn"

"Um yeah you are. Ok you're not even mad at me, but you already decided that you were so now you don't want to give in"

"No" I said unconvincingly because that was exactly what I was doing and somehow he figured all that out.

Green eyes dove deep into mine making me forget everything. He released my arms, went over to my bed and fell back, putting his hands behind his head.

I rolled my eyes before getting ready for bed.
