Secret Affair • H.S

"W-what exactly is it that you want Harry?"

I stared right into his eyes, seeing the same mischievous look in them that day my mother dragged me out of his mother's store.

"I would like the chance to take you on a date myself"

I could've sworn my eyes almost fell out of my head from how wide they were.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me fashion princess. I do believe that I deserve a fair chance on earning your attention and affections"

Little do you know curly head, you've already earned it.

"I will think about it"

"Oh, I'm sure you'll think of a lot of things. Especially those that I could do to you if you allow me the chance to"

His smirk almost brought me down to my knees and I gulped, rather loudly.

Kill me now.

Harry chuckled then took a step forward, causing my body to stiffen as he reached up to play with a loose strand that seemed to have fallen from my ponytail.

"You should let your hair down Analia. It's a stunning vision to see"

As soon as he said that, he dropped the strand of hair then made his way out of my room without another word.

How the hell am I going to reject his date offer if I don't even have his phone number?

What does he expect me to do?

Walk down to his house and be seen in his neighborhood without my mother?

People would definitely talk.

Unless...?

I was interrupted from my thoughts when Nate came back in, knocking lightly on my opened door.

"Ah, much better. You look ravishing pumpkin"

God I hate that nickname.

I'm pretty sure I'm not orange.

"Thank you Nate. Where exactly are we going dressed as such?"

"Didn't you know? Ethan is having his party at his newly finished studio as his opening. Your sister has been helping him set up since 5am, they're both very excited. Now the party starts at 8 but I thought we could get some food or see a movie before then"

"Well I don't see how this dress is appropriate to go out to eat or see a movie in. Couldn't I have just stayed in what I was wearing for that?"

"Nonsense Analia, we are making a statement"

"And what exactly is that statement Nate?"

"That we are better than everyone else"

I frowned at his words, Harry was right.

This dress is too flashy, in everyone's face, and definitely not something you'd catch me in at the movies.

"If you don't mind, I think I'd rather skip the date and just rest until the party actually starts"

"But-"

"Just... come back later Nate. Please?"

"If that's what you wish pumpkin"

He brought one of my hands up to his lips to kiss it then left me to my thoughts.

I groaned out in annoyance as I slipped out of the dress.

Why can't I get Harry's offer out of my head?!

Should I really take him up on it?

I collapsed back on my bed in just my undergarments and stared at the ceiling.
