Towards the dark

Chapter 11

Alice

He never told me what the problem was. I insisted a lot but it was of no use. He told me to forget about it. And I did.

After that we started talking about random things like for example we got to know each other. He was very sweet. He was that Harry which I liked the most. He told me that he needed help in studies and me being me, I told I would help him.

So here I am right now, waiting impatiently for him to come. After waiting for almost more five minutes, my door bell rings. I hurry down and open the door. There he is. Standing in a plain white tee with his famous skinny jeans. God , his jeans are tighter than mine. I roll my eyes at the thought and invited him in. I see a Mcdonald's bag in his hand.

"I thought eating McDonald's while studying will be great." He exclaims smiling cheekily. I chuckle and ask, "Would you like something to drink?" he shakes his head and I nod. I lead him upstairs in my room.

" So what do you want help in?" I ask while rubbing my hands.

" Math. I have started to forget what I've learnt. So I want you to revise along with me and like kinda a brush up a bit. And yeah give me some short cuts even." He says and winks at me.

I roll my eyes playfully at him.

"Look, I would like to advise you a bit. Math is a subject that you need to practice daily. Daily means daily. You aren't allowed to skip a day at all. And if you do, you have to sit for little while extra the next time you study. That is the only way you won't forget. Okay?" he nodded his head. "Understood teacher." He said cheekily. I narrowed my eyes playfully at him.

Next one hour is spent explaining him the problems that he doesn't understand, talking in between, laughing on his not at all hilarious jokes and me telling him to shut up so we can finish it as soon as possible.

He kept blarneying me to stop and eat something. He wasn't ready to continue at all. We negotiated for a while and unfortunately he won and we ate whatever he had bought for us.

After that he started giving stupid reasons of how we shouldn't study immediately after eating as it may be bad for stomach. I again lost. I can say that he is quite persuading. We both sat together in comfortable silence until he spoke.

" Lets play 20 questions so we can get to know each other more."

" Harry you are here to study not play with me." I said and rolled my eyes.

" Oh come on. We can take a break for what say....half an hour or-"

"Half an hour?! Harry that is a lot of wastage of time. You should never take time for granted. Utilize it properly."

He rolled his eyes and gave me the puppy eyes face. how could I say no to him?

"Okay. But only half an hour."

"Promise only half an hour. I will start. So .....what was life back in new York?"

" It was okay I guess."

" Just okay?"

" Yeah. My friends were always out partying and I used to not like partying all the time so it used to get boring. I feel London is much better?"

"Okay."

"My turn. Why do you have so many tattoos?"

" I like having them. Its kinda helpful when I am hurt or something like that but mostly I have them because I like to."

" Ohh." That's all I say.

" When is your birthday."

" Second Feb"

" That's right two days before mine!" he says smiling brightly.

" That's great. Ummm.... Your favourite colour?"

" I like blue. Like a lot. And all the shades.''

"Okay,"

" What is your favourite colour?"

" I like black."

" Black huh? Mostly girls like pink or something like that."

" well I'm not like most girl."

" hey you just almost quoted the dialogue the guy says to Hailee in music video."

We both chuckle.

" Do you like animals?" I ask him.

" I do. Just confused if I like cats more or dogs more.'

" Same!" and we both smile brightly.

" how many boyfriends have you had?" he asked. Kinda straight forward.

" None." I say without being embarrassed or feeling shy.

" What?!"

" Yeah...." What is the big deal.

He shifts a bit closer. " Are you serious? Boys must be going crazy just by looking at you, Alice." He says in a low voice.

" Have you ever been kissed before?" he asks looking deeply in my eyes.

" Save it for next time. It my turn to ask." He groans in response  and I chuckle to myself.

" So tell me, how many girlfriends have you had?" why not ask? He asked me.

" To be honest. None."

" What?!"

" I don't date Alice." He says and brushes his hand thought his hair.

" Ohh'' that's all I can say.

He shifts closer to me and our faces are only inches away.

"So back to my question. Have you ever been kissed?" he says, almost whispers

"No..." I say looking straight in to his eyes.

"God! Seriously?" he asks brushing his hand again through his hair. I simply nod my head.

" Now enough. Its my turn to ask. Why don't you date?" I ask.

" Its stupid. That's why. Now my turn." I only nod my head.

" Can I kiss you?" he asks looking straight in my eyes.

I gasp and he moves little more closer so our noses are touching.

" Can i?" he asks again. I have started breathing unevenly.

I nod my head. What is wrong with me? This isn't me. Why am I doing this. This is so wrong yet so right. Oh god!

His lips brush mine, sending shivers down my body. Our lips are about to clash when his phone goes off.

He groans and answers his phone. I tuck a strand of my locks behind my ears.

"I'll be there in 10 mom. Yeah. Bye. Love you too." So it was his mom.

He sits back where he was just seconds ago and reduces the space between us. Our noses brushing.

" This isn't over yet love." He says and kisses my nose and leaves.

Leaving me breathless.  

What the hell just happened?
