Chapter 13

   The blush previously loitering on his face suddenly strengthened. His eyes widened and along with that gesture came an extended whine from his mouth. "Don't say such weird things, idiot!" he yelped. I had no choice but to chuckle at his flustered outburst.

   "Sorry, just honesty coming from this mouth. I am such a good boyfriend." I boasted. Why am I so proud when there's no competition? Well, I'm clearly the dominant one here so I guess I won that battle. Harvey just ignored my act of false self-indulgence and continued to look at me expectantly.

   "Ahaha, aren't you lucky to have such an "idiot" as your babe?" I asked rhetorically, to which he finally broke a large yet crooked smile. Good, that means he liked what I said.

   "Hey, give me it back!" Harvey belted, chasing me down the stairs as I ran as far as I could. I was laughing the whole way down, clutching his phone tightly in my fist. He was researching veterinary information for his college studies but I wanted to have some fun.

   "Ash!" he called as I whirled to my left and ran down the hallway that led to his back door. I turned behind me to see that he was right on my tail... Well, if I had one. He reached for his phone and I raised my arm. Thank the Gods for my taller height.

   "Come on!" he grunted as we both stopped in the hallway. He jumped numerous times, using my shoulder to boost him up but still to no avail. I smirked in triumph and place a valiant hand on my hip.

"Kiss me and I'll give your phone back."

   He looked at me in confusion and stopped making an effort to snatch the device from my hand. "Promise?" he asked, raising a suspicious eyebrow. I nodded to confirm that I 'promised' him. Note how I accepted without words though.

   He huffed and pushed himself forward, connecting our lips in a passionate kiss. Both pairs of lips moved slowly in sync as he subconsciously stepped closer to me. I made sure to keep my hand raised high in the air so he couldn't snag it without my notice.

   He stepped back, folding his arms over his puffed out chest. "Will you give it back to me now?" he sighed, seeming a little annoyed with my recent acts. Hey, I don't act like this often so enjoy it whilst it lasts, Harv. The urge to say that grew, but in the end I kept my big mouth shut.

   "Mmh. That wasn't enough."

   "But you promised." he sighed heavily.

   "Did I really?"

   His eyebrows crinkled in frustration. I just smirked when he leaned in to kiss me again. Only this time, his tongue slipped past my lips and swirled around my own. As he did that, I was barely aware of the phone being slid out of my hand. When I realized what he'd just done, I pulled back to see that I'd been tricked.

   There Harvey stood with his phone back in his hands. He had an evident grin plastered onto his freckled face. "Thank you so much for this gift! I'll cherish it more than you," Harvey cheered sarcastically, darting back to the stairs. I found myself tailing after him as we got back to his bedroom. This was my chance to get him down!

   As he threw himself onto the bed, I toppled on top of him and pinned his wrists down to the mattress. His phone was on a Google page that held a few searches in the search bar... Along with randomly placed letters from our chaos.

   "Just so you know, if you ruin my phone, you're buying me a new one." he stated, causing me to laugh and forget I had him under my hands. His wrists slipped out of my grip and, before I knew it, he launched himself upwards to catch my lips in his. The kiss was short but still memorable.

   "Do you think Audrie's noticed our relationship yet?" he whispered to me. I'm pretty sure she's heard our occasional tickle fights but nothing too intimate. If she did, she'd tell us right? Well, she'll tell her own brother at least.

   "Aha, I'm not even gonna answer that one." I shrugged, uncertain and comical at the same time. He groaned and rolled his eyes.

   "Fine! Then let me ask you a question that you can answer." he started. "do you have work tomorrow? Since it's late and you're obviously spending the night here." I nodded to his question, to which he just worded a quick "okay" before talking again.

   "Wait, what time do you have work?" I asked. Now that I think of it, he's never actually told me what time he works at the PetCare place.

   "Early in the morning. Presumably when you take your college classes." he informed me, matter-of-factly. I hummed in understanding as he leaned up and pushed me upwards. I sat straight up now, looking at him as he tried to wiggle free from under my weight. Oh... I was straddling him.

   I got off of him and he sat upwards. He sighed, threading a hand through his wavy hair. "Might as well have fun while we can. We don't have all day unless you wanna get sleep-deprived." he told me, grinning as he did so. I gave him an agog look as he stood up from his bed.

   "I'm just gonna get comfortable first." he told me, slipping his shirt off his chest and throwing it to the ground. His now exposed torso was... So hot. He wasn't scrawny but he wasn't chubby either. Not that chubby is bad or anything. The muscles in his stomach were well defined too. I have no idea how they were like that... He doesn't engage in sports, does he?

   I felt my eyes travel down without my mind's consent. My body was acting before my brain again.. Good thing I looked down. His navel was small and cute. It made me want to lick it for some reason. Geez, I need to stop or else I'll start drooling all over him. That'd probably creep him out.

   "You know, it's rude to stare." Harvey's voice snapped me out of my daze. Oh geez... I just realized that I was staring for quite a while now.

   "But I like what I see."

   He scoffed, "Touching will be saved for later on, weirdo."
