Happy birthday emileeh0pe

The next morning my alarm clock went off. I groaned switching it off and rolling over. Harry was beside me sound alseep. He snores lightly with his hair all in his face. I didn't want to get out of bed, it was so peaceful and comfty, but I know I need to.

I got out of bed swooping an old shirt off the floor and going to my bathroom. I know it's just the two of us but I still feel somewhat awkward just walking around clad naked. I realized the only thing I had for food were left overs from yesterday. I definetly have to go shopping after work. I leaned against the counter top digging into my burger. I could hear groaning in the back room knowing Harry must've woken up by now.

"Why are you up this early?" He questioned rubbing his eyes. I looked up and choked on my burger, I tried to not stare down at Harry's naked body but holy moley.

"You couldn't put any boxers on before you came out?" I asked quietly. Harry looked down at his glory and smirked up at me. "It's not like you haven't seen me naked before." "Yeah but-" "Lacey, is me standing her naked turning you on?" I could feel my face reddening by the second.

He chuckled walking over towards me leaning against the kitchen counter across from me. I turned around not hungry for food anymore. "One of these days I'm going to fuck you right here." He stated darkly. I could feel the muscles in my stomach tighten. I kept quiet for a second not saying a word. Harry watched me intently trying to figure me out.

"Say something." He demanded. "What- what exactly are we? Like are we dating-" "We're friends." Harry cut in. "Friends don't talk about fucking each other." I said getting irritated. Harry glared at me, Friends with benefits do." He answered with an attitude. I looked away from him and down at the fkoor. Just the word itself I loathe but now Harry confirming what we are hurts me.

"So we're just fuck buddies?" I asked still not believing it. Harry nodded my head slowly, I stared at the floor letting it sink in. I sighed getting up from leaning agasint the counter top and walking away. I trudged my way back into my room and slammed my door. I can't help it, it hurts. It hurts to know that that's all he wants from me. Just stupid meaningless sex.

I began getting dressed in my uniform slipping on my boots feeling like shit. Why did I even ask? I should have kept my mouth shut. I opened my bedroom door walking straight towards my bathroom. I shut the door locking it. I began to brush through my knots glaring at myself in the mirror.

"So stupid." I muttered.

I didn't even bother with my makeup. Why should I? I have no one to impress anyways. I unlocked the bathroom door slipping on my cap grabbing my phone along with my keys. I walked straight towards the livingroom door. I glanced back to see Harry still standing there. He gave a hurt nod and I looked away not even bothering to say goodbye.

I marched to my car slipping in. I looked down at my phone seeing I still had twenty minutes left before I actually had to be at work. I sighed turning the egnition on. I can't let this effect me at work. I drove towards work knowing I'll be there early but hopefully I'll finish before time so I can leave early.

"Goodnight Lacey!" "Thanks you too, Martin!" I yelled smiling. Today wasn't so bad at all. I walked down towards my car smiling to myself. I sat in my car for a minutes checking my phone. None of my notfications were important or eye opening so I didn't respond to any of them. I pulled out of the parking lot driving towards the groccery store.

I remembered I needed to get kitchen items. For now the basics will have to do. Over the wekend I'll really get down to business with the house supplies. I walked around the store getting snacks and what not along with a few kitchen supplies.

I felt my phone vibrate in my purse and checked to see who it was. Emerald's name poped up. I opened the text reading a simple hello. I replied back a mutual greeting setting my phone back into my purse. I paid for my things and was out of the store in no time. I walked back to my car hearing my phone vibrate again. I looked down to see it was her calling me.

"Hello?" I asked. "Hey slut it's been awhile." "Yeah, how are you?" I questioned setting down my bags in the trunk of my car. "I'm good! Brandon and I-" I zoned out. Sure I like talking to my friends but when it comes to them and thier relationships it's pretty much the same things over and over. "Lacey did you hear me?" "Huh what?" "Did you hear what I asked?" "Uh no." "I asked how's living on your own?" "Oh, it's- It's interesting..." I said slowly.

That remids me about what happened this morning. I wonder if my little fuck buddy is still at my place. I groaned hoping he isn't. I need time for myself.

"Hey Em I'm actually leaving the store right now. I'll text you when I get home." "Alright bye." She said hanging up. I sighed setting my phone down. I back out of the parking lot and drove home.

I parked my car and grabbed a hold of all my bags and walked towards my apartment. I unlocked the door seeing that it was dark inside. I turned on the light and set all my things down in the kitchen and walked around my little shack. There was no sign of him which I was sort of glad for. I began to put things away and looked around. I really need to go shopping for more home decorations. The only part of my of this place that feels homely is my room.

I walked inside and saw my bed was made and all clothes thrown around were in a little pile in my room. I smiled knowing Harry was the one who did this. I walked back into the kitchen and grabbed a plate out and made myself a sandwhich. I shut the fridge door hearing a door opening.

I peeped my head up and saw Harry walking in. I stared at him begining to feel a little irritated.

"Uh hey." I said walking towards the kitchen counter. "How was work?" He questioned slipping his boots off. "It was fine. How was.. school?" "Didn't go today." Harry said sliding his shirt off. I nodded my head feeling the tension in the air.

Harry gazed at me while I stared back. Nothing was being said but I had the feeling Harry was thinking the same as me, discomfort. I moved passed him and walked into my room sitting on my bed. Seconds later Harry came in leaning agaisnt my door frame. I kept my cast down not wanting to make eye contact with him. Why is he here anyways?

Harry walked in my room and sat on my bed next to me, I don't really know how to act. I mean how do you act when someone completely friendzones you- well uses the term friends with benefits. Harry groaned getting up from my bed.

"What the fuck is your deal!" He said raising his voice. "Nothi-" "Cut the fucking shit and tell me right now." He demanded. I swallowed and looked up. "I'm just tired." I stated. It was true, somewhat.

Harry paced around in my room pulling on his hair. "You're a bull shit of a lier you know that?" I could only look up at him. "Now Lacey, tell me why the fuck you are acting so strange."

"I'm actually pretty calm, not strange. You on the other hand..." "I'm not fucking stupid. It's about this morning, huh?" I kept quiet not wanting to agree or disagree.

"Fucking Hell." He said roaming around my room. After a minute of him cursing to himself he turned around and looked at me.

"It's really because of this morning?" He questioned. "I.." I couldn't answer. I sighed and looked down. It's already humiliating enough that he is here but him catching on as well.

"Can we just forget about this morning?" "Harry I-" "Please, for me?" He pleaded. I sighed but nodded. I am crushing on him too hard to deny him.

Harry smirked walking back over towards the bed and plopped on it next to me. "Good because I'd rather be kissing you then arguing with you."
