17. "Scrabble & Chill?"

My eyelids felt as if they were being pressed down by weights and my head was banging like I had a hangover when I resentfully peeled my eyes open with a soft groan of discomfort. I guess having 3 cups of tea and falling asleep at 4AM does that too you. I was positive it was quite late in the morning but did I care? No, I could sleep all day if it were possible. I stretched my achy muscles letting out those typical baby dinosaur noises as my body twisted in odd angles in order to relive tension.

Slumping against the mattress my head lolled to the side to be graced with Harry still sleeping face which was a rare occurrence as he usually was always up and in the shower before I awoke, I guess our late night had its effects on him too.

He looked stunning as usual, but a bit more childlike and calm. There were no signs of tension or stress on his face and he seemed utterly relaxed which made him look even more attractive if that were possible.

A deep groan rumbled through his muscular chest as his eyes began flickering and his breathing became more shallow, I quickly snapped my head forward as not to let him know I was watching him sleep like a creepy ass weirdo when he was clearly about to wake up.

He yawned letting out a tired grunt afterwards as his head lolled the side to gaze at me through cutely puffy eyes.

"I feel like a sloth who's just fallen out of a tree." I comment lazily as I turn my head back to its original direction so we're both watching each other. He lets out a little surprised snort of laughter.

"Yeah, you look like one too."

"Hey!" I protest slapping his arm halfheartedly as I glare at him. He only smiles slightly his cute dimples digging into his cheeks. 

"You're the one who wanted to play truth or dare in the dead of the night." He said, yawning right after as he rubbed his eyes with his fingers. I shrugged sitting up slowly and arching my back as it cracked pleasantly.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time,"  I defend myself lazily as I struggle getting out of the covers because I have zero gracefulness and they naturally get tangled with my legs making me bend and twist at odd angles and kick my legs like I'm swimming before I'm finally free. I stumble slightly with pink cheeks and huff to myself rolling my eyes as I stomp away towards the bathroom grabbing a towel and underwear along the way.

I hear Harry chuckle lowly from his calm spot on the bed but I choose to pretend I didn't hear him.

I give Harry a cheesy grin as I take my seat at the local Costa I dragged Harry to because I simply didn't feel like making my own breakfast, he wasn't fond of the idea but I think I gave him a slight headache from my pestering like a petulant child before he forcibly agreed. He rolls his eyes although I can see his slight smile dancing along his lips indicating he isn't as irritated as he's playing off to be. Sneaky.

We order what we feel like and I happily just people-watch in silence in the least stalker-creepy-coffee-shop-girl way I can. I find it interesting trying to picture what all of their lives a like and for one second our lives brush as we all are in the same place at the same time before its over and I will never see these exact people again and they will carry on living their happy/miserable lives like they did before with no effect on my part.

I think that would be amazing.

To have an effect on someone else's life in the best way possible and realise that something they do is the effect of you.

"What's up?" Harry asks munching on his Croissant as he sips his beloved tea, I however got sick of tea from last night and the crazy amount I consumed so I was currently drinking coffee.
