Chapter 18 - Lazy Days In Oxfordshire

I woke up at around 10am I think. I'm not really sure since I just woke up and the bright sunlight was streaming in through her window. I really wanted to get up and close the blinds but I was too lazy to get up so I stayed in bed and buried my head into the pillow. It turned out that I was hugging something so I brought it closer to my body. Might as well cuddle something to get me to falll back asleep.

Well, the thing that I was cuddling giggled. I opened my eyes to see who it was and Emma was looking back at me. Her hair was messy and all over the place, her eyes were still getting used to the light and she started yawning and smiled.

"Morning Haz" she said.

"Morning love" I replied.

Her smile grew larger at the word 'love'. Man, she was definitely the most adorable human being that has ever been on this planet. I kissed the tip and her nose and she laughed. She also returned the favour and was about to get up from the bed when I pulled her arm back down. She collapsed back onto the bed which caused the bed to bounce with her movements.

"Stay with me. Stay a bit longer" I pleaded her. I wrapped both my arms around her right arm to stop her from getting up.

"I can't Harry" she argued.

"And why not?" my face was muffled because I buried my head into the crook of her neck.

"Because I'm hungry and I've been on this bed for hours now. I didn't exactly want to wake you up so I've just been on the bed. See I'm considerate unlike you who kept poking me in the middle of the night!" she stuck out her tongue and I reciprocated the gesture.

"I am considerate!" I argued.

"Considerate how?" Emma questioned back.

"I'm considerate of your well-being by keeping you in bed so you have enough sleep"

"Haz hun, it's 11:30am. I think it's time to eat something don't you think?"

Did she just call me hun? Isn't that short for honey?

"What did you just call me?" This time, we both sat up and I was staring at her and waiting for a reply. She was looking everywhere but at me.

"Um Haz?" she said finally looking at me

"After that?"

"It's 11:30am?" She knew that I wasn't going to accept this answer.

"Come on, it's not even that embarrassing!"

"Fine alright, I called you 'hun' happy?"

"Very" I said. I pecked her on the cheek and I got up out of her bed. I started stretching, cracking some bones in the process. Emma also got up out of bed and went out of the room. She was in the hallway and shouted "I'm going to the bathroom!"

"Okay!" I shouted back. The door slam was my only reply.

I walked to my phone that was on the bedside table of the other room to see if anyone was looking for me. Turns out, I wasn't too popular today.

She came out of the bathroom with her hair all brushed and neat. We crossed paths in the hallway but before I could say "Thanks", she was already on her way downstairs.

The first thing that I noticed when I got into the bathroom was that the washing basket had no clothes inside. That meant that Emma or her mum probably put it in the washing machine. Great, that meant that I had no clothes today. I couldn't exactly go home in her brother's clothes.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I looked at myself in the mirror; I wasn't looking too bad I concluded. On other mornings, I looked terrible with my hair going in all different directions and having some drool on the left side of my mouth but thankfully, I didn't have any today.
