Only We Know

Chapter Fourteen - Sorry!

October came quickly and before I knew it, It was fall. It hadn't felt like fall in September, but not that the trees were different colours and it was necessary to wear a jacket outside, it was here. Harry and I hadn't really hung out one on one after that movie night, but he still drove me home every night and we played our little version of twenty questions.

When I woke up this morning, I smiled, remembering I had put on Harry's sweatpants again last night. They didn't smell like him anymore, but they were so comfortable I somehow just forgot to give them back. I run down the stairs in search of something to eat. When I enter the kitchen, Katie is reading a magazine at the island. I open the fridge and grab an apple before I lean against the counter to look at Katie and take a bite.

"Are you ever going to give those back?" Katie asks, rolling her eyes

"No, they're comfortable"

"I bet. How's your boyfriend doing?"

"He's not my boyfriend"

"Yeah, sure" She smirks "Mom and Dad have one of those meeting things at the head office, so Im going over to Gemma's in like ten minutes"

"Have fun" I say, trying to keep the jealousy out of my voice

The doorbell rings and Katie runs to answer it. I hear some talking and then she comes back in to view. I throw my apple core in the garbage and turn back to her.

"Harry is here too" She grins "He's waiting for you at the door"

I groan and try to sort my bedhead out on the way to the door.

"Good morning" He smiles

"Morning"

"Do you want to come over too? My parents aren't home, and I would offer to stay here, but they don't want Gem and Katie to be alone in the house together"

"But Katie goes there after school all the time. I thought your parents were in the city during the week?"

"They don't know about that" He chuckles "Go get ready and Ill meet you in the car"

"I have an essay I need to do and a test I need to study for" 

"Bring it. Ill help you" He says and walks back to his car, not giving me a choice

I sigh and run up the stairs to change. I throw my hair in to a pony tail and grab my backpack. I run back down the stairs, pull my shoes on and walk out to Harry's car. I climb in the front seat and turn around to look at Gemma and Katie.

"Im Lea" I introduce myself and Gemma smiles

"I know. Harry doesn't shut up about you"

I blush and look over at Harry, who also has light pink patches on his cheeks. He starts the car and begins to drive to his house. I once again try to memorize all the turns, but after the first four, I give up. When we arrive, Gemma and Katie jump out of the car and run inside. I yawn and walk over to meet Harry in front of the car.

"Tired?" He asks

"And I don't really want to do homework" I yawn

"C'mon!" He says, pulling the door open for me "We'll work together and get it done twice as fast!"

Katie and Gemma are nowhere to be seen and the house is eerily quiet. I follow Harry down the stairs and to is room. He shuts the door and I look at it, slightly bothered.

"Could you open it? Just a crack?" I ask and he looks confused, but does it anyway

"Better?"

"Mhm" I hum and sit down at his desk
