Breathless

Five

It was Harry.

"Harry?"

He turned around, seeing who it was.

"Hey, Sydney! I was just coming to see you.." He paused. "Trish told me you didn't want to go to the party, so I figured you needed someone to hang out with." He cleared up.

"Oh, well..would you like to come in?" I asked and he nodded, following me down the hallway.

This is a recipe for disater. Why did you invite him in?
I tried to hush the thoughts circling in my head and have a good time.
This is how people move on, right?

Once we got in, Harry went right ahead and made himself comfortable on my bed. "So, what were you doing while Trish is at the party?"

"I was just watching Netflix."

"Nice! I love Netflix..but it can get addicting."

"Very" I mumbled.

There was a long, awkward pause before either of us spoke.

"Sydney, have you ever seen the movie Primal Fear?"

I shook my head no, and Harrys jaw literally dropped.

"What?! Okay, we're watching it right now. It's on netflix." He says grabbing my remote and turning on the tv.

"That good, huh?" I asked.

"Yes, it's my favorite movie...what is your favorite movie?"

"Easy one," I say, "My Cousin Vinny."

He turned around and faced me, pointing to me from across the room. "That's a great movie."

"Yes, indeed." I got some popcorn and walked back over to the bed where Harry had gotten back into position.

I started to turn to Trish's bed, when Harry stopped me.
"Where are you going? I'll move over."

He moved over, so now his side was pressed against the wall, as I sit next to him with my feet stretched out in front of me.

It was only a standard twin sized bed, so space was tight, our arms were slightly touching.

Harry hit play, as I reached over him, trying to turn off the light that was on top of my desk.

I heard him suck in a small breath, causing me to look at him. Our faces were only half an inch apart, and I was basically on top of him. I felt so tempted to lean in, but I had to remind myself that I couldn't have feeling for him, for anyone.

I quickly switched off the light and sat back down. When I sat down, I accidentally hit my hand on the side of the bowl, causing popcorn to go all over me.

"Ah, sorry." I paused the movie and reached back over him to turn on the light. When I turned it on, our faces were even closer than before.

Before I could make up my mind, Harry leaned in and pressed his lips softly to mine.

Without overthinking it, I kissed back. His touch sent sparks throughout my body, making my stomach more knotted then it already was.

Suddenly, images of Drac haunted my brain. I pulled away from the kiss and opened my eyes, seeing Harry looking at me with a smirk on his face.

"That was amazing." He breathes.

I felt a smile spread across my face, but it quickly disappears after I realized what I just did.

I stood up from the bed and started to clean up the popcorn that was all over my covers.

"Here, let me help." He says, placing his hands near mine on the bed to start scooping up the popcorn, but my frantic voice stops him.

"No! I mean, no...I got it."

He backs away, returning into his original position, his back to the metal framed headboard.

After throwing the fallen pieces of popcorn out, I walked back over to the bed. Harry was staring into space, it looked like he was confused.

"D-did I do something wrong?" He said, turning his head towards me. "If it was about the kiss I'm sorry, I didn't think-I wasn't thinking--"

"Harry" I interrupted his rambling. "You didn't do anything wrong..it's me, I am not looking for a relationship right now." My voice came out low.

"Oh." Is all he said.

I reached over for the remote, but Harry stood up from the bed.

"I uh....I just realized I have to go. I'll see you around." And with that he was gone, leaving me there to overthink what had just happened.
