Temptation

Chapter 40

I woke up from hearing something fall onto the floor.

"Shit" I hear harry curse to himself. I move the dark heavy blanket away from my face to see what has fallen.

He's dressed his black usual wear and wears the blue beanie to hide his damp curls. He bends down to pick up what has fallen and I notice that it is his phone.

He turns back to check if I was still asleep.

"Sorry, my phone slipped out of my hand I didn't mean to wake you. You can go back to sleep." He tells me and I look over at the clock and it read 7:25.

I quickly get out of bed and run my hand through my hair. Tugging at it, I groan.

"Woah, what's wrong?" Harry asks and I look up at him.

"It's almost seven thirty! We might miss first period if we don't hurry!"

He laughs and I ask him what's so funny.

"You're not going to school."

I know he wants me to stay home because of what his mom said but I can't. I've already missed so much and considering I'm new to the district, the staff will think that I'm careless about my education.

"Yes I am." I challenge and he moves closer to me.

I move over to The corner of his room and grab the pair of clothes that I've left here previously.

"Beth, you know what my mom said. You need rest."

"Harry, If you haven't noticed I've slept amazing these past two nights." He lets out a deep sigh. "I think it's because I'm with you." I slip out and I can't even believe that I said that. But it's true.

"Fine," he tries to hide his smile. "I'll wait for you." He shoo's me off and I head towards the bathroom.

I put my hair into a bun last night so when I took it out, the waves look a little deeper and fully that they normally are. I decide to leave my hair to rest in Its natural position and then put on my clothes.

The dark blue jeans are a little tighter on me then my other jeans are. The shirt fits perfectly and the green matches my eyes.

I look into the mirror to check myself one more time. The dark rings under my eyes have seem to almost be back to normal. The color of my eyes are still a little darker but I'm sure it'll get back to normal within a couple days or so.

I leave the bathroom to go back into Harry's room and grab my phone off of the dock where it has been charging and place it into my back pocket.

"Damn," I hear him say from behind me. "you're fast for a girl."

I know most girls take hours in he bathroom and even more time to fish for clothes in their closets. But I'm not usually like that, I just grab and go.

"Yeah, I guess." I laugh and place an earring into my right ear and then match is within the left ear.

"Hey," I call out to him as he turns to walk away. "Can we just stop at my house for a quick second, I need to get my bag and my art supplies." I ask.

He nods. "Yea, what will your mom say?"

"Nothing, she's a work." I smile and he smiles back. "Let's go." I walk past him and we get into the car.

It's so hot out today. I know Florida is a state known for its warm weather but I've only been out here for a few minutes and I already seem to be sweating.

I go to roll down my window but harry rolls it up using his side buttons. "You don't wanna mess up your hair right?" He smirks.

I remember the last time I rolled up the window and he mocked me because I was complaining about my hair.
