Aphrodite // H.S. (Mature)

VII

A/N- Sorry for the wait. This is unedited.

"Hey bitch, wake up. You said you'd stay up all night with me." I was abruptly woken up by Lauren who sat on top of me. "What time is it?" I asked groggily. I stretched my arms out and yawned. "Almost 1." She got off and let me sit up.

"What are we even going to do all night?" I questioned hoping she'd realize we didn't have anything to do and would go to sleep or something. "Well, Harry left about an hour ago so we can drink his beer. My parents are down in their room probably passed out so they won't even notice us walking around." Harry left? Would he be back before two?

"Where did Harry go?" I asked sounding as casual as I could. "I don't know, with his friends or something. All that matters is, he'll most likely come back piss drunk and won't even know if any of his beers are missing. And if he does I'll just tell him he drank them." It wasn't such a bad idea, we've done stuff like that before but it feels different now. "Alright sure."

We decided we'd go down to the hot tub for a while and drink the beers down there. I borrowed one of Lauren's bathing suits and wrapped a towel around me before we went downstairs.

"How many do you want?" Lauren asked as she started grabbing some out of the fridge. "How many are you having?" I asked. "Three." She shrugged. "Okay I'll have three too." She nodded and started handing me the beers. We went out the sliding door and to the hot tub. It took a minute to adjust to but in five minutes we were both fully in and drinking the beers.

"So, what ever happened with you and that boy Henry you said you liked?" Lauren asked, I honestly forgot all about telling her that. "We've hung out a couple times but I'm not really sure where's it's going." I say as my thoughts wonder back to Harry. Where was this even going? Were we just going to continue hooking up until one of us finds someone we like and ends it? "Oh come on, I'm not stupid. I saw the hickeys you were trying to cover up. You might have everyone else fooled but not me." My cheeks flushed as if I was being caught. Hopefully that's all she figures out.

"It's nothing really, I guess we're just in it for fun." I try to shrug it off but she eyes me suspiciously. "Really? Because you've never been the type to mess around with a guy and be okay with it being just that." I shrug again and take a big gulp of beer. Beer isn't my drink of choice but I'll have it occasionally.

"Do you guys like, do it?" Lauren asked out of no where. "What?" I said even though I heard her. "Do you guys, you know, have sex?" She questioned. I debated on what information I should actually spill to her, she is my best friend after all. "No, we've just been messing around a little. It hasn't even been that long."

"What have you guys done?" Does she ever shut up? "Lauren that's private." I scold making her laugh. "Well give me an idea." She pressed. "Well," I finished off the first beer and set it on the table, "I've done things for him and he's done things for me. That's all I'm saying." I say glancing over at the house to see if Harry just so happened to be back yet which he wasn't.

"Di, you little slut." Lauren laughed slightly shocked at the information I just told her. Little does she know I've been talking about her uncle this whole time.
...
We finished off the alcohol after a while and disposed of the bottles in her neighbors garbage before returning to the hot tub. When we were walking back up the side of the house car lights were pointing straight at us making Lauren squeal and run so I panicked and ran after her. When I got back to the hot tub she was grabbing the towels so we could go back in.

"I'm not drunk but definitely buzzed. If it's Harry he's definitely going to know something's up." She said with worry while handing me my towel. I'm really not that worried about it, he wouldn't get mad right? "Go drink some water and calm down." I said pushing her toward the door. I wrapped the towel around my shoulders and followed her in.

The door opened and there were footsteps sounding throughout the living room. We stood in the dimly lit kitchen in silence. She looked terrified but I felt the opposite. I cousin show that though so I pretended as well to panic.

"What're you two doing up this late?" Lauren's dad asked from the doorway. Oh shit.

"We were just in the hot tub, we were going to go back to my room now." Lauren says. "Well get to it, do you know what time it is?" Her dad then turns and walks back to his room. "I'm going to shower, you can shower after if you want." She says and turns to go to her room. "Coming?" She turned in the door to ask. "Yeah I'm just going to get a drink first."

She walked away out of the room and up the stairs. I grabbed a cup and filled it with water and leaned against the counter. All thoughts completely wandering to Harry. Why would he tell me to go to his room if he wasn't even going to be home? And he didn't even text me to tell me.

"Boo." I whipped around to see Harry standings few feet from me smirking. "What's wrong with you!? You scared me!" I whisper yelled. "That was the goal." He shrugged coming closer to me. I didn't even hear him walk in.

"When did you get here and where did you even go?" I asked hoping that I didn't sound too eager to know. "About ten minutes ago and to the bar with Nate. I saw you outside with Lauren in your bathing suit." He grabbed the towel and opened it up to look me up and down. I felt like melting butter whenever he got near me.

"We were in the hot tub." I say. He got closer until he stood right in front of me, my back to the counter. "Maybe you and I will have to get in sometime, how does that sound?" His mouth not far from mine, his hands on my bare sides, and his lower region pressed against me. I couldn't form a coherent sentence which made him smirk in satisfactory. He knew what he did to me and enjoyed every second of teasing.

He pressed his lips to mine softly and kissed me sweetly for a few seconds before pushing his tongue into my mouth. He pressed against me harder causing me to feel turned on. It didn't last long before he pulled away, pressing a kiss to the corner of my mouth, walking out of the kitchen, and quietly calling over his shoulder.

"Good night Didi."
