"I have that effect on people," she smiles.

Harrison only chuckles.

I get up and come over taking a slice bitting into the warm gooey pizza. I moan rolling my eyes back, "This is so good. I forgot the last time I had a pizza."

Harrison smiles at me taking a slice as well.

"Want a pickle with that?" She sarcastically asks laughing. I look at her eyes widening, "Oh no, no, no. That was supposed to be just a joke."

I go to the fridge and look to see that I only have one pickle left. I gasp, "Bro nooooo there's only one left!"

"Oh thank god." Olivia says gagging.

I grab it with one hand. Wasn't a good idea. The grease on my hands making the jar slip from my hands. Everyone slows, "Noooo!"

The jar hits the titled floor the jar slowly explodes juices going everywhere I slowly turn my head closing my eyes.

Everything goes normal speed, I look to see my only pickle lying in glass shards. Tears prick my eyes, "My pickle..." My mouth curls down. I pick up the pickle looking at it , it has a piece of glass in it. I pull it out.

"Awe it's okay Tess." Olivia says

"No it's not!" I shout tears running down my face, "I lost the only pickle I had!" I rub it off

"Tessa don't take a bite of that pickle." Harrison says putting his shoes on to protect his feet from the glass.

"Why not." I sulk

"Because you don't know if it has glass on it or in it." He says grabbing the swifter wet jet from the closet.

He drags it on the ground clearing a path for him. He takes the pickle from me.

"But-but.."

"I'm not risking you getting a cut in the mouth or in your stomach lining." He says tossing it in the bin

I sigh sadly, "Okay.."

I stay in my spot and pick up big pieces of glass and Olivia helps. We put it in the garbage and Harrison swiffers the small glass and picks it up with a cloth.

He picks me up I yelp, "Could you wipe her feet off for my Olivia? Just to be sure."

"Yeah sure." She does just that and I giggle my feet being ticklish.

Harrison brings me over to the couch and lays me down softly.

"Thanks for cleaning up the glass again." I laugh.

"No problem." He pecks me on the lips and goes over to the kitchen.

Ugh I'm so exhausted...This is a very comfy couch.. I think and my eyes slowly shut.

I feel strong arms pick me up. I moan sleepily resting my head on Harrison's muscular chest, smelling his fresh musky sent of his cologne.

I feel my body lay into a familiar soft surface, my bed.

He goes to leave i think but i take grab of his arm, "Your staying right?" I ask sleepily.
