Lies

Chapter twenty six

  Harry woke up the next morning in Adalynn's bed. He was wearing the same clothes as the night before -excluding his shirt- and he was facing Adalynn. Adalynn was pressed tightly against his bare chest, hugging him and sleeping soundly. Her hair was spread out behind her like she was flying, and her legs were tangled with Harry's.

     Before Harry could even think about waking her, Adalynn's alarm clock went off, screaming some song Harry had never heard before. Adalynn jerked awake, and was so surprised that Harry was there that she fell off the bed.

    Harry peered over the edge of the bed at Adalynn, trying his hardest not to laugh. She blushed and shot up, patting her hair down. "Are you okay?" Harry asked.

      "Sorry. Did I wake you?" Adalynn said, nodding to Harry's question. "I forgot to tell you that I have work today."

     Harry groaned and rolled over to the other edge of the bed. "Do you have classes?"

    "Nope." Adalynn said, popping the 'p.'

    "Then can't you call in sick?"

     "Harry..."

      "Pleaaaaasseee? Don't leave meeeeeee." He begged, rolling over and looking up at her. Adalynn was about to point out that he had left her for two weeks, but decided that wasn't a good idea.

      She sighed, "Fine. Just this once, though. Ill be right back." She said to a cheering Harry before she left the room. Adalynn dialed Hayley's number.

    "Hello?" Hayley answered, her voice groggy.

    "Hey Hayley." Adalynn chirped.

     "Oh hey Adalynn. Hey listen, did Harry spend the night yesterday? I didn't see if he left your flat and I needed to talk to him." Hayley asked, suddenly sounding perfectly awake.

    "Oh um...." Adalynn looked down the hall, where Harry was emerging from the bedroom. "No...He didn't..." Adalynn lied, feeling a pang of guilt in her chest. "Um. I called because I'm feeling really really sick. And I can't come into work today."

    "Aw, love. What's wrong?"

    "Oh I'm um...hung over?" Adalynn said, slightly in a questioning tone. She facepalmed at the same time. Harry looked amused.

   "Hung over? I thought you didn't drink?"

   "Um. Yeah I don't. But I did yesterday. I wanted to try it...since I'm legal here...and I went a bit crazy. I'm feeling really sick though. So...yeah. Definitely never drinking again." She said, pacing back and forth from the kitchen to the living room while Harry sat on the arm of a chair and watched her.

     "Oh that sucks, man. Okay that's fine. Ill see you Thursday then. Want me to check up on you later?"

    "No!" She exclaimed, "I mean no that's fine thanks. SorryHayleyIgottagobesickillseeyouthursdaybye!"

Before Hayley could reply Adalynn hung up, sighing and throwing her phone across the room. Harry cheered, grinning as Adalynn flopped down on the couch next to him.

    "So what are we gonna do now?" He asked. Adalynn smiled..

   "I suppose we'll just have to have a movie day."

"Warm Bodies?"

        "Warm Bodies. Best movie ever made." Adalynn said. 

        "That sounds like porn."

        "Ugh, Harry. Why would I show you -of all people- porn? I would rather show porn to my mother than my boyfriend." Adalynn said, pulling out a DVD and putting it in the TV in her living room. "Anyway, it's a movie about zombies."
