As You Are // H.S

Eleven.

Alexis Cooper.

The next morning I woke up in a great mood, I took a shower, made breakfast for Sammy and I, and once she'd left I cleaned and danced around in nothing but my underwear and a long grey shirt to Sum 41 whilst vacuuming the floors. I mustn't have heard my front door open and close, because when I turned around mid vacuum and whilst belting the lyrics to a song, I could've had a heart attack right there and then, seeing Harry leaning against the wall with a shit-eating grin on his face, and his arms crossed over his chest.

I turned the vacuum off and and placed a hand over my heart whilst glaring at him, Harry thought this was hilarious because he let out a loud laugh that warmed my heart. "You should have seem your face, holy shit Lexi!" I kept glaring at him, and then when I looked down at what I was wearing I let out a loud groan.

"Jesus, Harry, I have no pants on! You can't just be walking in here unannounced!" With that I turned around and headed to my room to change into some pants, when I came back, pants on now, Harry quickly retorted. "I texted you, and I always just walk in here, you just usually don't dance around with no pants on to Sum 41." I pushed playfully at his chest.

"Not that I mind." He muttered under his breath, not expecting me to hear because when I giggled he blushed and let out a little giggle that made his dimples dent into his cheeks.

"Anyway, what brings you around this Monday morning, Harold?" I ask after we both take a seat on the couch. Harry just shrugs. "Can't I come see my favorite girl?" I grin widely at his answer, but I don't let him see what it does to me.

I never noticed the sexual tension between Harry and I, but now that Samantha pointed it out, it was all that was on my mind. I was staring at Harry, who was nonchalantly watching the TV, his figure was relaxed, his eyes focused ahead of him, his jawline was perfect and looked as if it were sculptured by artists. His eyes were the prettiest green, his curls were hanging loosely around his face and down his neck and I just wanted to run my hands through them, Harry raised his hand and pushed them out of his face whilst licking his lips, that were a nice shade of pink. He cleared his throat and looked at me, I quickly looked away but Harry teasingly said. "It's rude to stare, Alexis."

I picked up a cushion and threw it in his general direction, hitting him in the head. He smiled a one sided grin, and raised an eyebrow at me. "Oh, you've done it now Lex."

As Harry grabbed the pillow, I jumped off of the couch and made a run for it, legging it from the living room to my bedroom, giggling loudly. I muffled my giggles with my hand once I heard the padding of feet down the hallway. I stood up straight against the wall by the door, and once I heard Harry come into my room I closed my eyes and stayed as quiet as possible. Once I opened my eyes Harry was right in front of me grinning, and before I could do anything he picked me up and hauled my over his shoulder.

I let out a loud screech, and laughed profusely. He dropped me on my bed and smacked me once with a pillow before dropping his body next to mine and letting out a loud sigh. "That's all?" I asked, confused.

"Well, you only hit me once, payback is fair." He said with a laugh. I shrugged and rolled over on my side, leaning my head on my hand, facing Harry.

"So, where's our date?" I said and poked at his side. Harry let out a short giggle and grabbed my hand dropping it away from him, I noted that he's ticklish and to keep that in mind. "I'll never tell, Lexi, you'll just have to wait and see." I sighed in defeat and laid back down dropping my body down with a thud.

I woke up some time after, confused because I'd taken a nap in the middle of the day, I was tucked into my bed the right way, and was confused because I hadn't fallen asleep this way. I turned over seeing that I was alone, and checked my phone to see that I'd slept three hours, and had a text from Harry.
