12- I Never Took Them Off

"What?" Niall whisper yelled but Harry just shook his head again, indicating that he had no idea why Ms. Green was at his flat.

Niall carefully moved Harry to one side and fell on the bed silently. He then motioned for Harry to do something and Harry snapped out of it as he sprung into action.

"Yeah, I'm here! Hi Stacey." He greeted politely as he quickly put on his boxers and pulled his sweats up then he looked for a random t-shirt and pulled it over his shirt.

"Hi, Harry. Aren't you coming out? I have been knocking for a while so I let myself in." She explained and Niall rolled his eyes.

"I'll be out in a second. I was taking a quick nap, that's why I didn't hear you knocking."

Harry looked at himself in the full length mirror and when he was satisfied he looked decent, he leaned down and kissed Niall's lips then he whispered that he'd be back shortly.

Niall motioned to his wrist watch, reminding Harry that he had to meet his family.

Harry walked to the door and he took a deep breath before he unlocked and opened it, finding Ms. Green about to knock again.

Impatient much?

He quickly got out and closed it before she could have the chance to take a peek inside.

"Hey, Harry. I missed you." She said and flung her arms around his neck.

"Hello?" Harry greeted and awkwardly hugged her back.

He didn't want her near where Niall was so he put his hand on her back and gently led her to the living room but she pulled him to the kitchen.

Then when they were there, she turned to look at him.

"So remember how you told me that your mum had taught you her perfected version of a Shepard's pie last summer?" She asked and Harry, not sure where the conversation was going, nodded anyway.

"Well, I want to you to teach me how to make a perfect Shepard's pie so here I am." She said with a wide smile and motioned to the bags of ingredients on the counter that Harry was just noticing.

"Uhm, Stacey now's not a good time. I mean I could teach you but just not now. And how did you even know where I lived?" Harry asked.

She looked between Harry and the paper bags she'd brought before answering.

"I got your address from the teachers' files in the headteacher's office. I hope you don't mind." She said sweetly.

"I mind, actually. I mean why would you even go stalking me?" Harry tried to be nice but she had actually crossed the line on that.

"Oh, I didn't think you would mind. I'm so sorry Harry." She rushed out and her apology seemed sincere so he dropped it for now.

"I don't like it, but it's okay." He said and she beamed.

"Good! Now we can get started on that pie, huh?" She said excitedly and Harry remembered why she had come in the first place and the fact that he had an anxious teenager in his bedroom waiting to leave.

"No, I can't do it today, Stacey. Maybe another time?" He asked, hoping that she would take the hint and leave.

"Why though?" She looked hurt and Harry knew he had to think fast.

"I just, I'm not feeling too well and I would like to rest. I think I'm coming down with something." He said and faked a cough.

She looked frantic and her eyes widened. "Oh my god Harry, are you okay? You are sick and you are all alone? Good thing I came over." She pressed the back of her hand on his forehead.
