"I know you saw my text and you heard my call so I really had no choice but to come here, I really want you to listen to me. I don't like leaving things like this", Harry sighed. To Tessa it seemed like he was a bit tipsy. Had he been drinking before he came there?
He made his own way in and started walking towards Tessa's room, leaving her no time to say anything.
She stood there her mouth open for a while, until she closed the door and followed Harry. She found him standing by her bed, his back towards the door. Tessa awkwardly cleared her throath, unsure of what she was supposed to do. He turned around, looking a bit tired. It was past midnight and they both had been working that day and if he had been drinking.. he probably was.
"I honestly couldn't care less how many boyfriends you've had. And the fact that I got to be your first kiss, well at least one you remember, makes me so happy. Because I like you, more than I should judging by the time we've known", Harry said. He took a few step towards Tessa and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Ignoring the slight smell of alcohol she didn't recognize, she started blushing and Harry smiled at her. "You need to stop being all cute and shy around me, it's driving me absolutely crazy."
Then, he bent down and kissed Tessa again, this time on the lips. After a while, he pulled away just to tell Tessa she could just copy his moves and it'd be fine, he could tell she was still a bit afraid of touching and kissing him back. Soon she did as she was told and Harry sighed into the kiss, her touch felt so much better than he had imagined. She felt something wet on her lower lip and assumed it was Harry's tongue, making her start to tense again. Noticing her reaction, Harry pulled away, smiling down at her because of their hight difference.
"And you need to stop attacking me like that", Tessa whispered smiling a little, keeping her gaze on the floor. She was blushing hard again and heard Harry laugh before he pulled her in for a hug.
"I'm staying over", Harry said as he let go of the short girl. She raised her eyebrows at him, wondering if he was being serious. He grinned at her and took off his shoes, putting them next to the table. Apparently he was.
"Should we go to sleep? I'm quite tired and I'm sure you're too", he wondered.
Tessa wasn't still sure what the hell was actually going on, but she nodded slowly. Maybe this was her time to start being more open to new things and situations. Harry yawned and strecthed a bit, the alcohol was starting to fade, probably making him more tired, Tessa thought. She watched as Harry opened his belt and unzipped his jeans, taking them off and putting them neatly on a chair next to the table. Then he took off his jumper, leaving him standing only with boxers on.
Tessa took in a sharp breath and couldn't help but stare at the sight in front of her. He looked so beautiful. The bird tattoos on his collarbones, they had always been Tessa's favourites. Her eyes wondered a bit more south and as she realized what she was doing, she quickly looked away. He had noticed Tessa staring and smiled happily. He knew he was quite fit and felt flattered when he got the girl to blush again.
"So, which side of the bed should I sleep?" He asked politely. Tessa wasn't sure which side she usually slept on, probably in the middle. She said it didn't matter to her, and watched as Harry took off the covers and went to the left side of the bed that was pushed against the wall. He looked up at her, obviously waiting her to come and sleep next to him.
Tessa hesitated a little as she turned around and took of her shirt. Knowing Harry was looking made her more nervous than anything ever. She wasn't too confident when it came to body image and she did her best to stop thinking of how many girls he had seen without clothes - all with a way better body than she had.
She walked up to her wardrobe and took a giant t-shirt with a Finnish hockey team's name on it. She put it on and took off her leggings. She decided to leave her bra on, thinking it could be awkward to take them off with his eyes still on her. She turned off the big light in the room, leaving the lamp beside the bed on and then walked over to the bed and layed on the right side, pulling on the covers.
"Goodnight", she heard Harry say, as she turned off the lamp.
"Goodnight", she muttered back, turning her back at Harry, not really sure of the position she was supposed to sleep in. Didn't all couples cuddle? /We're not a couple/, Tessa thought and sighed quietly.
A few seconds later, she felt a hand on her side and Harry pulled her in for a side hug. He settled his head on the crook of her neck, placing a small kiss under her jaw line before he tightened his grip a bit and letting out a happy sigh.

"Good morning, sunshine!" Marlene chirped as Tessa walked in to the kitchen. It was almost noon and she had just woken up. Harry was still sleeping and she thought this was a chance to inform Marlene what was going on, knowing she had to, in case the curly haired boy would wake up now and just walk in. That would make it even more awkward to all of them.
"Um, Marlene.. After you went to bed last night.. Harry came, he wanted to talk or something. I think he had been drinking a bit, not too much but you know.. And he stayed over the night and um, he's still sleeping in my room", Tessa breathed out. She had to say it all at once, trying to keep it as simple as possible.
Marlene, who had just token a sip of her tea, started coughing and Tessa ran up to her to pat her back. Marlene coughed for a while and started to laugh.
"Well, that escalated quickly!"
Tessa blushed and shaked her head. "No, not like that! You know that."
"I know, you're just fun to tease! I was just about to leave you a note though. I'm going over at Louis'. I want to know everything when I come back!" She said as she finished her tea and with that walked out the door.
Oh. So they were alone in the flat now. Tessa sighed and started to make some coffee as she heard a quiet sound of tapping coming from her room's direction. She looked up only to see a boy with messy curly hair in his boxers and rubbing his eye.
"Morning, love. Would you make me a cup of coffee too, please?" Harry muttered with his raspy morning voice. God, he sounded good. /Beyond/ good.
Tessa nodded, trying to ignore the fact that he called her love (it wasn't that special anyway, he was English - he probably called everyone love etc.) and continued making the coffee, adding more water and powder. She was very aware of Harry looking at her, but she tried not to care too much.
"I'm sorry I crashed here like that yesterday, I wasn't thinking.. I didn't want to make things more awkward, I'm sorry", she heard Harry say now with a softer voice.
Tessa chuckeled. "I've come to the conclusion you're gonna have to keep pushing me out of my comfort zone quite a lot and a bit more often to get things moving. I'm kind of glad you came, you know."
"We'll continue doing so then, eh?" Harry asked, with a smile on his voice.
Tessa agreed, smiling as she took two cups from the cabinet and poured the now ready coffee in to them. It was a good morning, and to be honest, it was about time she started appreciating what she had at that moment. She'd have time to worry about everything later - life was too good right now and she prayed for whoever was watching over them for it to stay that way.
