Not Alone For Long

Chapter 18

Cat's POV

We finished baking and cleaning up the kitchen just as the girl's had come down complaining about their empty stomachs. We made two pizzas with the ingredients we had and I had to admit they were pretty tasty.

We currently sat at the dining table, Jen next to me and Harry across from me. Gemma sat on his right. All that could be heard was the faint giggling of the girls as they made strange faces at each other. I don't know how one minute Harry and I could be having the time of our lives and the next it could be so awkward.

"I'm glad we cleaned that up before my mum got home. She would have killed me," Harry chuckled. I guess this was his attempt at breaking the awkward silence that was filling the air like a toxic gas.

"Well if you hadn't thrown flour in my face that never would have happened," I put my pizza down and gave him a playful glare. Before I could react, Harry stuffed the piece of pizza he had in his hands right into my mouth.... Or should I say around my mouth because he kinda missed.

Gemma and Jen broke out into a fit of laughter along with Harry as I did my best to scrape the cheesy goo off my face, without thinking I grabbed my glass of water that was waiting next to me and threw it at his face. His curls instantly became drenched and clung to his forehead.

"We'd love to stay and watch this but we are gonna go have a tea party upstairs if that's selfish with you," Gemma questioned. I nodded with a smile and watched as she pulled Jen from her chair and they hurried up the stairs.

"I thought you said truce!" Harry's voice pulled me from my thoughts.

"You were the one who shoved pizza in my face"

"I was aiming for your mouth"

"Well you missed my mouth"

Harry chuckled," That's what she said" and he broke out into laughter

I rolled my eyes and got up from the table. Playfully slapping him before I gathered all the plates and brought them to the sink.

" The dish washer is full so we have to wash them by hand," Harry came up behind me and stuck a sponge in my face. "You wash and I'll dry," He turned the sink on for me signaling for me to start.

I washed the dishes carefully because of course Harry had to get out the good china and make me nervous about breaking them. I handed him the plate and I'm guessing that he could sense my uneasiness because he pretended like he didn't have a good grip on it and that he was going to drop it. Of course this made me panic before he yet again bursted out laughing.

"Why do you have to do that to me," I huffed. Ok I don't mind when people joke with me believe me, but that almost made me shit my pants (sorry I'm not lady like if you were expecting a better term).

"Hey I'm joking," He dried the plate and turned my head which was gazing down at the sink full of dishes with his wet hands,"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."His eyes were warm and his smile was calming so I took my index finger and left a little ball of bubbles on the tip of his nose, letting him know that I was ok.

We finished the dishes in like 20 minutes and now Harry and I were headed up stairs.

"I have a shower in my room that you can use and I'll use the one in that hall way, I got the best bathroom so you can use it," He opened his bedroom door for me and walked over to another door opening that as well. "I don't have any girly soaps or anything, I guess I can see what my mom has in her bathroom although I'm not gonna lie, I've never been in there and I'm a little scared too." He pushed his curls off his forehead in a mock stressed way which caused me to giggle.

"It's fine I'll just use your man soap," I waved him off.

"Man soap?" He chuckled as I walked closer to the entrance of the bathroom. It certainly was a fantastic bathroom. Not only did he have a separate shower from the gigantic jacuzzi tub, but he had a huge mirror sitting above a double sink. Gorgeous stone counter tops rested near the sinks and the tile floor warmed up as my feet hit them. He had freaking heated floors in his bathroom.

"Yeah that's what I call it," I looked around in awe. This bathroom was the size of my room... That's embarrassing.

"Well glad you like the bathroom, I'm gonna leave so you can shower....Erm I don't suppose you have any other clothes with you?" I shook my head, "You can borrow mine if you want, I'll leave you a shirt and a pair of my boxers if you're ok with that?" I smiled and nodded. I didn't want to make things more uncomfortable because I could already tell the concern his voice held. He didn't want to creep me out in other words.

"It's fine, not out. No strip show for you," I successfully lightened the air when I notice Harry shake his head with a smile and turn around. Leaving me alone in this mansion like bathroom. Like seriously, this was a freaking apartment. Why did it feel like a penthouse suite?

Soon enough, the heated water was falling down my back while I washed the matted brown hair that was covered in a number of different foods. I turned and saw a bottle of old spice on a shelf. This was the only body wash he had and in all honesty, I couldn't wait to use it. I loved the smell of old spice.

Squirting a small amount in my hand, I lathered myself. You didn't need to use a lot of this stuff to end up smelling like a man that and I didn't want to use up all of it. Knowing me, I'd roll in that shit if I could. Ok that's a little strange but I never said I was normal. Hell I'm far from it.

After a long shower, I hopped out and looked around for the clothing. I sighed when I realized that he must have put them outside the bathroom. I opened the door timidly and made my way out in only a towel. I spotted the pile of Harry's clothes on the bed and ran to get them. I certainly didn't want him to see me in just a towel. But, of course, with my luck he came jogging in as well... Only in a towel and of course I was running too to get to the clothes so some how we collided into each other. Both of us falling to the ground in a damp pile.... Fan-fucking-tastic...

I scrambled to get myself up as did Harry. He got up and immediately blushed and turned his gaze else ware as mine fell down. Realization hit me like a slap to the face. My towel had fallen to off when I struggled to get up....
