Chapter 7

PLEASE READ MY NOTE AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER. THANKS! ♡♡

...

It was nothing but a kind deed. I keep playing inside my head that I let her stay because she has no where to go, and for once I want her to think that I'm not really that cruel. But whenever her face crosses my mind, I can't help but to think that I'm screwed. I know the reason why I took her here is because I want to see her longer, even though she's always snappy- which I find cute, anyway.

Somehow, for a short period of time she attracts me more than just a normal lass would. Every little thing about her captivates me. It's crazy and I know I'm in deep shit.

My bed was cold as I toss and turn, hoping that sleep would settle on me. But my mind kept on wondering whether the beauty who's outside is peacefully sleeping, or like me, she's having a hard time. Does she think of me too? Wondering why on earth I brought her here...

Before I knew what I was doing, I was already out of my room, quietly drawing near her sleeping figure. She was on her side, both hands tucked under her head, whilst the blanket I lend her was draped around her body. I should have offered her to sleep in my room, but that's a tad too much I think.

I watch her breathe slowly, her features were soft, so peaceful. The frown on her face wasn't present, and I thank god that I got to witness her like this: so effortlessly stunning.

"Mate?" Harry's voice sounded from the other side of my living room, making me jump a out of surprise. Luckily, I caught myself before I fall over Yassi. "Who's she?" Harry asked.

Before I divert my eyes away from Yassi, I took one last stare at her lips. Then I responded to Harry, "Yassi."

The way her name roll off my lips is something I find alluring. Her name alone can bring these fuzy feeling in my stomach and it's freaking crazy!

"Erm..." he trailed off, "A new friend?" the subtle teasing did not went unnoticed. Harry scratched the back of his head as he watch me half smile at him.

"Well, yeah... I- I mean, she's I guess a friend.. now," I finished my sentence with a lot more difficulty than necessary. Harry's eyes shift between me and Yassi's sleeping body.

"So..."

"So..." I mimicked him. I know for sure that he's dying to ask me a lot more queries, he's Harry. The always thoughtful one among my best mates. Well, the cheeky and nosy, too.

"I'll get back to my room?" he turned away giving me one last teasing look, "Night!" he spoke too loud. I sushed him and he just laugh at my reaction.

My eyes returned to Yassi, and her brows pulled together for a moment before she sighed in her sleep. Her lips twitched to the side before she roll off and lay on her back...

God knows how much I am trying not to kiss her.

I shook my head, clearing off this stupid thoughts in my mind. I want to laugh at myself for acting like a teenager.

This attraction towards this funny, cranky, yet undeniably beautiful girl's driving me nuts.

"I'm never gonna drink again," I mumble to myself as I flopped on my bed, running my hand down my face. I'm thinking about her too much it's starting to annoy me. When I'm pretty sure, tomorrow morning she's back to being snappy and cranky.

Just when I closed my eyes my mobile buzzed.

Perrie: i miss you. Please call me.
