Addiction

Harry's POV

I sat across from Julia on her living room floor as we worked on the project together. She leaned against the couch as I leaned against the wall and wrote some notes on the Dark Ages.

"Did you get the notes about the diseases," she asked. I nodded, biting my lip as I wrote down some more notes from the book.

This was basically what happened whenever we'd study together. The only problem was that this time, she'd talk more than usual. Whether it was to ask how my day was going, or if I had gotten a certain aspect of our subject, she was always asking me questions or telling a joke of some sort.

"I'm tired," she sighed, placing her book down. I looked up at her and smiled softly. She smiled at me.

"Wanna make something to eat?" She asked. I shrugged and followed her as she stood up and into the kitchen. I waited patiently at her kitchen island as she maneuvered her way through the kitchen.

"Why so quiet?" She asked.

"Oh, nothing," I replied, "sorry."

She smirked at me as she fished out some tomatoes and lettuce and meat from her fridge. She walked over to the counter and pulled out some bread and plopped it down onto the island before she went back to her fridge and pulled out some ketchup and butter and mayo.

I scrunched my nose at the sight of the mayonnaise.

I hate mayonnaise.

"How do you want your sandwich?" She asked, pulling out two slices of bread.

"Erm," I murmured, drumming my fingers on the counter, "lettuce, tomato and meat and ketchup is fine. No butter or mayo please."

"Cool," she said. She prepared my sandwich before she slid it across to me on a plate before she began making her own. I tentatively raised it to my mouth and took a bite, chewing the food before swallowing it and placed the sandwich back on my plate before I glanced up at Julia.

She dropped a dollop of mayonnaise onto her sandwich and noticed she got some on her thumb. She glanced at me and smiled before she set the jar down and brought her thumb to her mouth. She wrapped her lips around her thumb and sucked on it for a minute or so and I cleared my throat before I looked away uncomfortably.

Is she serious?

She sighed and finished preparing her sandwich and came to sit on the stool beside mine. I smiled politely and ate my food silently, scarfing it down so I could move out of my seat quicker.

"Do you want to continue working on the project," she asked, as I finished my food and made my way to the sink, "or do you just want to hang or something?"

"Actually I, uh," I washed my hands quickly and turned to face her, ripping off a paper towel from the holder thingie as I wiped my hands, "I should get going. I have to meet my girlfriend for dinner."

"It's only 5:30," she pouted, coming to stand beside me as she placed her sandwich on the counter. I shuffled away from her and smiled.

"I gotta go."

"Don't ever make me go over to her place alone," I groaned, burying my face into Mya's hair as I held her from behind. We lay on her bed cuddling as we watched TV.

She snickered and rolled over onto her back to look up at me. I pouted and she smiled, wrapping her hand around the back of my neck to pull me in for a kiss. I hummed against her lips, smiling at the light headed feeling she gave me.

"Jordan and I finished our project today," she beamed. I groaned and dropped my head onto her pillow, grumbling profanities under my breath.

"I don't know when I'll finish the project at this point," I sighed. Mya laughed and tangled her fingers in my hair, massaging the scalp. I smiled and closed my eyes as her fingers worked through my hair.

"You'll get through it, I promise," she comforted. I shook my head.

"Nuh uh," I raised my head up to look at her, eyes wide, "you don't understand, she was full on flirting. Full on."

"Yeah but you denied her," she replied. I snorted.

"Obviously," I smiled, nuzzling my nose against hers, "everyone knows you're the only one I need."

"Ew, stop," she laughed. I chortled and she laughed along with me, before I quieted myself and wrapped my arms around her waist. I smiled as I watched her face relax as she gazed at me.

"What?" She grinned. I shook my head.

"You're fucking beautiful, Mya," I whispered, looking at her face, "I don't know why you chose to bother with me but I'm sure as Hell glad you did."

"I love you," she replied simply. She leaned forward and kissed my nose. I smiled and kissed her lips, cupping her face with my hands before she pulled away.

"I have to use the bathroom," she smiled, getting out of bed. I laughed and rolled over onto my bed and watched as she walked down the hall and into her bathroom.

My phone buzzed suddenly.

It was an Instagram notification from Julia. She had messaged me.

Julia_231: I had fun today. ;) we should hang out sometime.

I almost choked.

I bit my lip as I replied.

Oh, i don't think I'll be able to. I'm pretty busy these days aside from school. Sorry. :3

I set my phone down and sighed.

Please let her take the fucking hint.
