Sunnyvale H.S

25

-
I wake to hear a dog barking loudly outside. The high pitched barking makes me wince, only just adjusting to my surroundings.
I shift to feel the strong arms of Harry still around me. I remove the heavy weight, and stand to go over to the window. I shut it slowly, my eyes scanning around. It was still night.

I walk over to Harry and shake him lightly, in attempt to wake him up. His eyes flutter open, as he grunts, turning over.
"Wake up, wake up," I climb over him, continuously shaking him.

He inhaled deeply, wrapping his arms around me, and pulling me down on top of him.
"I'm up, what is it?" He questions with a raspy voice.

"I think somebody is home."
His body shoots up with me on top of him. I become straddled around him, and I laugh as he looks around the room tiredly.

"What time is it?" He frowns, looking at his watch.
His eyes widen and he nudges me off his lap.
"Grace it's almost 1am. Is it Avery?" He panics and jumps up off the bed.

"You can't leave. At least not now," I remind him.

He shuffles his hands through his hair, and looks at me from my position on the bed.
"If it was, she would have came up by now surely? Or she would have shouted me?"

He looked around frantically, a shocked look on his face.

"You could climb out of my window? If it is her?" I point to the window on the other side of the room, that I just shut previously.

"We've been over this. I'm a grown man, I'm not climbing out of the window. I'm not a teenager anymore."
He chuckles, glancing at the window behind him.

"We're you the type to sneak out of girlfriends windows during the middle of the night?"
His eyebrow twitches upwards when I question him. I bite my lip as he stares down at me.

"That's quite hot," I tease and he walks over towards me.
Harry smirks, stepping closer to my bed. I shift to be on my knees, and his hands grip my waist securely.

"You're such a tease," he whispers, his thumb pulling down on my bottom lip. He kisses my lips softly, before pulling away.

"I don't think you would have been into me as a teenager."

I peck his lips and he smiles, his eyes burning into mine.
"What if it is Avery? I can't stay under your bed all night."

He shuffles away, and collects his shorts from the floor, sliding them up his legs.

"Or you could stay in my bed all night? I can just lock the door?" I suggest and he shrugs his shoulders.

"Then when she's asleep, sneak out and pretend you're here to pick me up."

He walks back over to where I kneeled on the bed. A smirk was playing on his lips.

"Who knew somebody so innocent could be so disobedient?"
I smirked myself, resting my hands on his shoulders.

"Well maybe you could teach me another lesson?"
His face dropped, his eyes darkening as the words rolled off my tongue.

"You're twisted," he laughed quietly, careful incase my mum could hear.

"You love it," I teased playfully, before standing up from the bed.

"Okay wait here. I'm going to run downstairs and see. She'll get suspicious if I don't come down at all."

Harry nodded, making himself comfortable on the bed.
"I'll be back in 5."

I open the bedroom door, and close it quietly behind me, before I make my way down the stairs.
