Avonlea's Point of View -

"He's still here Harry, sitting there. It's kinda creeping me out," I whispered into the phone. It was like I thought the man in the van could hear me.

"I'll drive round the alley, okay? Then I'll drive you to my place."

"Okay, I'll see you soon."

"Bye."

I ended the call and lazed around by the back door. The sun had come out and was setting, turning the sky hues of orange and pink. It was a beautiful sight.

My admiration of mother nature's natural splendor was only interrupted by a curly haired boy knocking on the door.

His grin widened when I set my eyes on him, mouthing the word 'hey'.

I opened the door to let him in, drawing the blinds after him. At least this provided a bit more privacy in the kitchen.

I suddenly felt very naked in front of him and couldn't help the blush from staining my cheeks.

"Do you want to get going, Lea?" He murmured. His voice was so soft it send shivers up my spine. Was it even possible for one person to make me feel so weary?

"I... Sure, okay."

I grabbed my purse and headed out the door - the kitchen light left on so it looked as if someone were home, just in case.

“Straight to jail! Do not collect money if you pass go!” Harry laughed, showing me the game card he was holding. This guy was whooping my butt majorly in monopoly.

“I swear that you’re stacking the cards in your favor, Styles!” I replied, reluctantly sending my little game piece – the salt or pepper shaker - to the ‘jail’.

“Not my fault you have no strategy,” he mumbled, rolling the dice once more – landing on his own property complete with hotels and all.

When I finally had another chance to roll, I was lacking money and patience. Rolling only a three, I was forced onto one of Harry’s properties - another one that had a hotel on it.

I let my frustrations be known, a groan erupted from my lips as I forked over the last of my fake cash to Harry. He laughed and took it, shaking it above his head.

“Victory!” He cried, jumping up out of his seat. “I totally beat you!”

I could only shoot him a pouty look.

“You know, Avonlea. I still like you, even though you are a bankrupt criminal,” at this, I couldn’t help but smile – despite the fact that I was upset with losing the game that badly. I was usually incredibly good at monopoly.

“Well, I should be getting home. It’s late and I’m kind of tired. Plus, I have work tomorrow.”

I started to clear the bored and noticed Harry frowning over me. I shot him a ‘what’s wrong’ look.

“You can stay here. I’ll drive you home early. Plus, I like waking up to your beautiful face.”

He was so cute, I couldn’t say no.

“Okay, point the way to the bathroom.”

Once I had washed up a little, and changed into one of Harry’s shirts, I snuggled down into his bed. It was far too big for just one person. I wondered if he’d had any other girls sleep over here. A wave of jealousy overtook me. I couldn’t help but wonder where it had came from. I never got jealous.

I closed my eyes, slowly drifting to sleep. The last thing I could remember was a half naked Harry cuddling up next to me.

“Sweet dreams, love,” he murmured, kissing my forehead. I tried to smile but I was already asleep.

Author's Note:

OH MY GOD. I POSTED.

I am incredibly sorry this took so long. It was so hyped up too. But I have finally  gotten a new computer so I am in all of my glory. Did you know it took a fricken long time to transfer this all from my phone to my computer? (Who knew - oh, yeah - I did.)

But yes, more LONGER chapters coming soon. Guys. Comment and tell me if you're interested in another kind of fanfiction 'book'. I want to know. I have time as of late to do some more writing and I'm feeling inspired.

I also wanted to say a huge THANK-YOU for all of the incredible support I have gotten on this book so far. I didn't expect it. I thought that maybe I would have like 2 or 3 readers but I have been blown-away. Y'all are incredible and I fricken love you all.

Something else crazy is that this story is over 15,500 words! 

Okay, enough talking. 

Ciao my lovelies!
