Dirty Little Secret

Chapter 14

I forgot to set my alarm last night so I woke up later than normal. I noticed Harry wasn't in my bed anymore, or in the room for that matter. He seems like the type to ditch before I'd wake up. I roll out of bed, throw on some clothes, and put my hair in a bun. I feel like I should dress nice, but I'd rather be comfortable. 

I grab my keys and head for the door when it opens just as I'm about to grab the knob. Harry appears in the doorway wearing nothing but a towel. His hair is dripping wet and is all crazy. God he looks good.

"Like what you see?" A smile spreads across his face. I look away as my cheeks flush.

He pushed past me and walks into my room. I close the door and just turn around to watch him as he moves. Suddenly, his towel comes off and I get a full look at his lengthy body. It's only 7:23 in the morning but I could already feel my hormones racing. I've never been so attracted to someone like this before. I realize I'm staring and try to occupy myself by pretending to fix my hair. I think he noticed I was staring because a small grin appears on his face.

"Alright, I'm reading to take you to school." He says as he gathers his things, which wasn't much.

"Oh, I was gonna, you don't have to.." I was so flustered with words.

"Just get in the damn car." He laughs and shows his smile I love the most.

We get to the campus and it's the usual. I did see Liam, however. I haven't really seen him since the fight about our kiss. I had to face him sometime or another. He looked over and noticed me and I chose later. I turned on my heel and walked swiftly to class. 

I was held up in my last class so I got out pretty late. I scanned the lot for Harry and his car. I catch his new navy jeep driving away with Lou in the car. Of course he'd forget me. Great. I sit on a beach and whip out my phone to call Maddie. No answer. I would walk but the dorms are so far and I'm not in the best shape. 

"Hey Kat! What are ya doing?" It was Liam.

"Oh, ya know, just sitting here.."

"In the cold? Is someone coming to pick you up?"

No.

"Yes." I should really work on telling the truth.

"Oh, well here, I'll wait with you."

We sat there in awkward silence for a couple of minutes waiting for my ride that was never going to come.

"Yeah, um, no one's coming to get me.."

"Oh..um...okay...well, I can take you back to your dorm, if you want.."

"Yeah, that'd be nice."

We get in his car and sit there for a few minutes as it warms up. I want to talk to Liam so much about the kiss, tell him to forget everything. I just don't know how to without hurting his feelings or saying the wrong thing. I'm not very good in these situations.

Luckily Liam turned on the radio and started to drive. He made small talk on the way back, not mentioning the kiss. I was very thankful. Liam dropped me off by the front door and I thanked him. I started to walk in when I got a text. It was from Harry.

*Hey, sorry I couldn't take you home. Lou practically begged me for a ride. I hope you made it to your dorm okay. My mom's having this party thing so unfortunately I can't see you tonight :(*

*That's okay. Liam took me home.*

*Oh, ok.*

I hated texting. I can't tell how he's feeling and it really bothers me. Oh well, tonight will be a good night to catch up on my homework and get ahead. As soon as I walked in, my mom was sitting on my bed.
