We sat on my couch eating and watching Austin Powers Gold Member and every time Harry laughed I couldn’t help but stare at how handsome he is. I had so many questions I wanted to ask him and I felt like there was no better time then the present.
“So…Harry how old are you?”
He turned his piercing green eyes towards me. “Why?”
I shrugged my shoulders. “Because I wanted to know”
“Nineteen”
He turned back towards the movie. Okay awkward.
“Don’t you want to know how old I am?”
With his eyes glued onto the television he shrugged his shoulders.
“I’m twenty one”
He reached for his drink and I watched his adam’s apple bob up and down as he swallowed.
He gave me nothing, not even a head shake. What’s up with that? Not giving up I pushed forward.
“How long are you staying in Cali?”
Silence again. Just when I was about to tell him about himself he spoke.
“I don’t know. I’m kind of stuck here.”
I watched as he clenched his jaw not understanding his last statement. Why would he be stuck here?
Well, whatever it is that’s keeping you here, I’m glad for it.”
That sounded so cheesy.
He turned towards me on the couch and gently placed his hand on the side of my face. As we inched closer together my phone rang out loudly breaking our connection.
Crap!!
My phone was located on an end table next to Harry and instead of walking around to answer it. I laid my body across Harry’s lap and answered the phone.
“Hello”
“Hey baby girl”
I closed my eyes and moaned loudly into the phone. Not again!
“What do you want?”
“Just want to hear your voice again.”
“I just spoke to you this morning.”
“I haven’t spoken to you in over ten years, cut me some slack.”
I rolled my eyes.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m watching a movie can you call me back later?”
“I would really like to talk to you now.”
Does this man get a hint?
“Look, you obviously didn’t get the hint so let me be blunt. I’m not interested in talking or seeing you so please leave me alone!”
I slammed the phone down onto the receiver and sighed loudly. As I was leaning away from Harry he grabbed me and set me onto his lap facing him.
“Who was that, your boyfriend?”
Is he for real I thought? “Why you ask?”
Harry shrugged his shoulders like my question didn’t matter. “Just think I should know.”
I smiled. “I think you’re jealous.”
He chuckled shaking his head. “What type of game are you playing?”
