Alexa

I stay in bed staring at my ceiling something I've been doing since the moment I finished my morning routine. What will I do today? Go to the mall? Downtown? Somewhere. Sitting up I stretch and yawn loudly pulling off the blanket and placing my feet on the carpet floor. I tiptoe down the hallway walking into the kitchen. The smell of fresh coffee fills my nose and the sound of the oil popping on the stove is heard.

"Mom?"

I call out for her knowing she's suppose to be at work, but instead I find her tapping her finger nails against the black wooden table with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Aren't you suppose to be at work?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Good morning to you too and yes I am but this boy who dropped you off the other day came by to say hello. I welcomed him with a cup of coffee and toast with bacon."

I turn to the boy sitting in the chair behind my mom. He's wearing a black t-shirt, styled his hair back into a bun and is wearing a devious yet charming smile.

"Good morning Harry."

He smiles raises his mug full of coffee before he brings it to his mouth and tips his head back taking a sip.

"Why are you here?" I question him pouring some coffee into a mug.

"To hangout with the amazing Alexa Smith. Why else?" He shoots me a smile as my mom sips her coffee.

"Well I should really be leaving, Im already late. Alexa please if you leave remember to lock the door."

She grabs her keys from the table and presses her lips to my cheek, her heels sounding throughout the house as she walks away.

"So why are you really here?" I asked once my mom is out the door.

"I told you already."

He stands from his seat walking around his table towards the counter. He sets his mug down gently rubbing his hands together. He scrunches his nose placing his hand beneath his chin as he leans against the marble counter.

"Alright just let me eat breakfast and get dressed."

I grab a glass plate placing a toasted waffle on the plate followed by three cooked strips of bacon. Placing the plate on the table next to my cup of coffee I sit my back turned to Harry. I position my body sideways raising an eyebrow at him.

"Are you still hungry?" I ask him.

"No thank you I've had enough." He smiles softly.

I nod my head and proceed eating but I can't help but feel weird having him behind me as I eat.

"Styles come sit over here."

I point to the chair besides me and push over as he pulls out the chair placing his long legs under the table. He sits up tracing the tattoos he have along his arm, I watch stuffing a piece of bacon in my mouth.

"Like?" He points to the anchor.

I nod swallowing my food before speaking.
