"'kay, you ready?" Harry asked, cocking an eyebrow. His phone was ready in his hand with a list of questions to ask her.

"Always ready," Tegan said with a nod, abandoning the small bit of food left on her breakfast plate.

"Okay. 'How well do you cope when you don't have your phone with you for an extended period of time?'" He asked with a mischievous smirk on his lips.

Tegan let out a laugh, turning to try to actually find her phone. She knew she left it somewhere in the vicinity.

"Don't actually know where it is right now. Does that answer your question?" She giggled, craning her neck, finally locating it on the side table by the couch.

"It does," Harry chuckled as Tegan slipped off her stool to grab it.

"You going to grab it also gives me a bit of insight," Harry chided.

"Ha! Shut up," she laughed as she came to sit back on the stool next to him, setting her phone by her plate.

Harry snickered under his breath as his fingers came up to pinch his bottom lip between them as he scrolled through questions on his phone.

"'What nicknames have you had throughout your life?'" He asked, looking up at her.

"Well, Hazza... I've had quite a few," she said, smiling facetiously at him. He let out a laugh, shaking his head at her use of his childhood nickname.

"Um, 'T' is the most obvious one. A lot of people call me 'T', actually. Um, 'Teegs'. Even you called me that today," she said, beaming a smile at him.

"I did," he said with a sweet smile.

"Um, all my brother's friends used to call him 'Griff', 'cause our last name is Griffin, and I was the baby, so they all called me 'Little G'," she told him with a laugh.

"I bet all the boys had eyes for you, didn't they?" Harry asked, a sly smirk on his lips.

"Uh, I don't know about that," she said, making a funny face as she shrugged her shoulders.

"I bet the boys were all scrambling to catch 'Little G's' attention," Harry said, smiling widely at her.

"Uh, the boys I went to school with didn't call me 'Little G'," she said with a laugh.

"What did they call you? 'Pretty girl'?" He questioned with a sweet smile.

"Ha. Yeah, right. Probably more like, 'hey you'," she chuckled and Harry tipped his head to laugh loudly.

"Yeah, right, Tegan," he said, calling her out.

"I'm kidding," she chuckled, appreciating his smile so much.

"Did you date in school?" He asked nonchalantly.

"Um... yeah," she said, feeling a bit awkward.

"Oh?" He asked, cocking an eyebrow and she knew it was his way of asking her to elaborate without actually asking.

"I mean, yeah, sure. I had a few boyfriends," she said with a shrug as she picked up her fork and moved the leftover food around a bit.

"A few?"

"I mean, like a handful," she conceded, setting her fork back down on her plate.

"And out of school?"

"I mean, didn't we already talk about this?" She asked with a light laugh.

She was sure they had this conversation during their dinner date at his house, though she couldn't remember how much she told him. She could definitely feel her blush heating up her cheeks as she thought about it.
