Cigarettes, Sarcasm and the Complications of the Real World

14

The next morning.
My eyes flickered open, a warm body was still wrapped around me, almost exactly how we fell asleep.
"Good morning William." I whispered in his ear.
No response other than a heavier breath of disproval of my efforts to wake him up.

I laughed cheekily, licked my finger and stuck it in his ear. Will suddenly leapt up from his slumber wiping his ear.
"What the fuck Harry your disgusting!"

I lay in a fit of giggles. Will sat on the side of the bed shirtless and shuffled through my suitcase taking out a pack of cigarettes and slipping one in the corner of his mouth. He turned to me and slipped one in mine.
"Balcony?" He suggested.
I let out a puff of laughter. "I'm going to the balcony to smoke MY ciggy but I don't know what your gonna smoke cus it sure as hell isn't that one in your mouth."
"Oh is that right?" He smirked. "Guess I'll just write up a bill for how many cigarettes, bottles of rum and bags of dope I've given you in our whole lives then?"
I pulled a frown. "Just get your ass to that balcony, dick." I kicked his back so he fell off the bed. He smirked.

We walked to the balcony and sat with out bare legs dangling off the edge.
"Got a light?" I asked. He lifted up a lite lighter and gave me a little wink.
God he looked hot.
For fuck sake Harry stop it's WILL!
"What?" He smiled.
"What?" I said confused.
"You're staring at me, what are you thinking?" He questioned.
"Oh nothing... Nothing." I said quickly avoiding eye contact.
"Last night was nice." He said shyly.
I couldn't help but smile but I tried t hide it. "Yeah, it was."
"I feel like you and me Harry," he put his arm around my shoulders. "Have a massive connection. Not even in a mushy love sense, just as two coexisting humans I feel like we just... match, ya know? Like whenever I'm with you I'm completely and whole heartedly me, I'm not Will who's on the football team or Will who works at Chucky Cheese or even Will the incredibly good looking sex god." I let out a little giggle before  he continued. "I'm just Will, and you're just Harry, and we just work."
We both sat beaming down at the street below, inhaling and exhaling our tobacco. Just being Will and Harry.

The day was very boring. First we went to some hall and listened to some dude speak, then we went to another hall and listened to another dude speak, ooo! and then it was lunch, that was good. Then we went to another hall and listened to some other dude speak. It was all very boring until like four when we went to the park and was allowed some 'down time'.

We sat on the park in the sun, it was a bit awkward as no one was really speaking other than me and Will. We were trying to learn how to make grass make a sound.
"Nah you gotta really blow on it, cup your hands more as well!" Will instructed me.
"Oh she's very familiar with blowing things in the grass." Lucas butted in.
"What the hell are you rambling about now?" I turned and said angrily.
"Oahh come on Harriet, the other night? On the park, don't say you were to wasted to remember?" He smirked winking towards me.
Wills face dropped and he looked straight at me, I shook my head to him to discount what Lucas said.
"Stop making shit up." I spat.
"Look babe just because you want to see Wills willy and think he won't want my seconds." Lucas replied evilly.
I gave him evils and turned back around, trying to continue to play with the grass with Will but Will had gone. I looked around the area and saw him talking , well clearly flirting with Katie.

My stomach dropped. Does he really think I'd do that with Lucas?! And now he's not even talking to me?! I lay back on the grass. Lucas stood above me and leaned down.
"Katie told me on the plane that her ad Will are gonna hook up so if that's what you were expecting for you and Will then think again. You know what room I'm in tonight right? If you change your mind then just come knock on, I'll wait up." He smirked.
"Well I guess you'll be waiting all night then."

Will hadn't talked to me at all for the rest of the day.
Why would he think I would do that?! And anyway why would he care in the first place?!
I lay on the bed thinking. First Will kisses me, then he fights Lucas over me, last night he came in for a cuddle like what the hell? And the things he was saying this morning, now he's so annoyed because he thinks I've got with someone else. Does he like me? Of course he doesn't why would he like me?
I sighed annoyed at my thoughts and the situation. I stared blankly into space running things over and over in  my mind until it felt like a light bulb switched. He likes me? He likes me. And I like him. And I want to kiss him, I want to have sex with him. In fact I want to loose my virginity to him right now.

I knew exactly how crazy these ideas in my head were but I couldn't help it , I leapt up from my bed, changed my underwear to the only  nice lacy ones I own, but on a basically matching bra and shoved my clothes over there. Flung the door open and ran to number 204, Wills room. I took a large breath and knocked.
Will answered, shirtless, hot. "Harry? Nows not a good ti..."
"Shut up!" I interrupted. "Will this is stupid, we both know what we feel and there's no point just pretending like we wouldn't be good, because we are good, all the time and imagine how good that goodness would be if we just bumped uglies on the side as well, and maybe went on dates and called each other boyfriend and girlfr..."
I large bang interrupted me.
"Shit sorry baby, my bad I'll clean it up." Said a voice from inside the room. "Who was at the door because I'm very naked and if your not here in ten seconds that could change."
Katie.
It was Katie.
My heart dropped to my knees. What an idiot I had been, I'd just ruined everything. Why would I ever think that Will would ever choose pale, goofy , nerdy me, over, well any girl with tits D and above.
"I...I... I gotta go." I stumbled holding in the tears. I began to run away from the room.
"No Harry please don't, please come back." Shouted Will.
But I didn't go back, and he didn't chase me. Why would he case me.
I fell into a pile of tears, I could feel my heart breaking. I looked up and saw the door 209, Lucas's room.
Suddenly my sadness morphed into anger. He'd led me on, he'd not been honest with me at all. Will, my BEST FRIEND had just totally fucked with my head.

I kept looking up at the door, Lucas had always been honest with me about how he felt, sure he was a dick but he liked me, and no one else seemed to. And why was I waiting for this magical firs time anyway, may as well just get on with it.

I clambered up, wiped my eyes and knocked.
'This is the right thing to do' I thought to myself.
Lucas answered the door. He stood in his underwear, toned, muscular. His blonde hair swept over his face and gleaming green eyes lured me in.
"Hey sugar tits," he smirked grabbing my waist and pulling me into him. "Glad you decided to come."
