My Desires Control Me

chapter three

[Cali's POV ]

I woke up to Eleanor yelling at me from the hallway to get up or I will be late. All morning my phone has been buzzing. I picked it up and read my texts.

Harry:

Meet me after class.

Yes, Harry and I have been talking more in class and texting a lot more. Today is Thursday and tomorrow is Friday. I keep thinking about the dinner tomorrow. Should I invite Harry to come? This is so confusing. I finally get up and put on a simple but fashionable outfit; black jeans, a white crop top, and a flannel to tie around my waist. I walked into my own bathroom and started brushing my teeth. I couldn't help but go back to the thinking about the dinner tomorrow. I mean I have only known him for a week but I just feel so connected to him. Once I was done brushing my teeth I walked back into my room and grabbed a black beanie from my dresser. Not bothering to brush my hair I throw it on my head and walk out of my room grabbing my bag and phone.

"So, have you found someone to invite over tomorrow for dinner?" Eleanor asked from the kitchen.

"I might ask Harry to come." I say walking into the kitchen and setting my bag down on the kitchen table.

"Harry? The one you've been texting everyday nonstop? You should. I want to meet him." she said taking her gaze off the stove and looking up at me.

"I think I will." I say before opening the refrigerator and grabbing the milk jug along with two cups from the pantry and fill them up. Eleanor and I walk to the table and she hands me a plate with a waffle while I give her her glass of milk. I grab a fork and knife and cut a piece of my waffle before shoving it into my mouth.

"Do you like him? " she asked.

"No!" I snap. I can feel my cheeks burning from embarrasment of how I reacted. Why did I react like that? I don't like him.

"Okay..." she replied with a shocked look on her face. Probably because of the way I reacted. When I finished my glass and waffle I stood up and set my dishes in the sink. Before walking out the door I grabbed my bag and phone and said bye to Eleanor giving her a kiss on the cheek.

***************

When I walked in class I started heading to my seat. Harry gave me a wave from where he was sitting and I smiled back. I couldn't help but think about the dinner tomorrow night and if I should invite Harry.

After class Harry walked up to me and said,"Would you like to come to the library with me?" Was he going to be the first one to ask? What am I even thinking? I don't like him.

"Sure. When?"

"Now. Like right now. Is that cool?" He asks scratching at the nape of his neck with a nervous expression.

"Yup. That's cool." I reply. We stand there in complete silence just staring at each other awkwardly with his hands in his pockets and mine hanging by my sides. Before I could say anything Harry opened his mouth to speak.

"Let's go." He said gesturing his hands to the library.

[Harry's POV]

"Harry. Stop! I'm serious. We're supposed to be studying." Cali said flicking my hand away. Earlier today I asked her to come study with me at the library but obviously I'm not one to study. I only invited her so I could spend more time with her. She's an interesting girl.

The whole time we've been here she has been trying to find books and everything that will help us in our class. I got bored just sitting here watching her look through the book pages although it's quite cute so I started poking her sides. The way she is reacting is hilarious!
