3 Day Slumber Party?

"Sweetie, we are going out for a few days.." I heard my mum softly say from outside my door. I didn't care if they were going out or not, honestly I was just happy that she wouldn't be in the house.

"We will be back on Friday. So you have the house to yourself for 3 days."

"Okay." I softly murmured.

"I love you." She replied softly walking away from my door downstairs.

Fuck yeah!!  Was all I was thinking to myself, I had the house to myself for 3 days. This was going to be amazing, and all I was thinking what would make it even better was if Lexi was able to come over. But then she just had to message me didn't she.

(Incoming Text Message From Lexi)

Hey Kelsey, just saying I won't be here

for the rest of the week. Parents are taking me

out to some weird place for a few days.

I'll see you next week

The one week I could have Lexi stay over for a few days she was not even going to be in the same city. This was just great. Well, I mean, I could ask. No, no don't even think about it Kelsey don't you even dare! But it would be nice to have some company around whilst they are gone. But really? He was the first person to come to mind. Harry. Of all people.

Hey Harry, my parents are gone till Friday,

And Lexi ditched me, so I was going to ask..

If you're not busy, would you want to come

Over for a bit, you don't have to stay for those days

But a little company would be nice..

What was the worst that could happen with this, end up doing something I would regret and I knew that would probably happen. But I didn't want to spend 4 days in a huge house by myself. And Harry was my last option. I had just been about to text Harry back to forget about it - my anxiety getting the better of me, saying he wouldn't want to spend 3 days with me - when my phone vibrated, I had a new message.

(Incoming Text Message From Harry)

Yeah sure, would love too.

When would you like me to come over?

(Outgoing Text Message)

Whenever you want really, mum and dad are leaving

 in around about 10 minutes or so.

So anytime after that should be good

(Incoming Text Message From Harry)

Okay, I'll pack some stuff and come

over soon

I quickly looked at Harry's message then locked the screen placing it upon my bedside table. I lifted myself from my bed walking towards my door. I turned the lock pushing the door open and walking out down the stairs. Mum and dad were positioned in the kitchen with their stuff gently packed neatly in bags on the dining table. My mum turned to face me her face making a fake smile to seem as though she was happy, when in reality she wasn't.
