The Other Teasdale

Three

Riley POV

It had been about three days since Harry and I kissed. I barely fell asleep for the past two nights, thinking about his lips on mine.

Our relationship hasn't change, well atleast it hasn't looked like it. But let me tell you, I've felt awkward as hell when I'm around him. We haven't talked about the situation, I won't be the first to bring it up. 

The doorbell rang, and being that I was home alone, I stomped downstairs and opened the door to Harry. 

"Hey" he said, his hands dug down to the bottom of his pockets. 

"Hi" I replied. 

"can I come in?" He asked. 

"Oh yeah, sorry" 

"Are you alone?" he asked, looking around the house. I nodded. "Do you think we can talk? Upstairs maybe?"

"Yeah, sure" So I followed him up the stairs and took the lead on sitting on my bed.

"So I was thinking. I just can't seem to get that kiss out of my head, it was actually amazing." He said.

"yeah, same" I blushed.

"Now, don't think of this too straight forward" I nodded. "Like, you are probably going to get really pissed off at me." 

"Harry, continue talking" I sighed.

"You don't want to date me" He paused and a little voice in my head told me to say 'I do want to date you' but I pushed it away, because it wasn't true. "So I was thinking, we stay friends but we have sort of benefits thing" 

"You want to be friends with benefits? Harry, doesn't that automatically make me a slut and you like a manwhore of somesort?" I asked, shocked. 

"First of all, nobody needs to know. And second of all no it doesn't"  He said, sitting up a bit on my bed. 

"But-" 

"Oh come on! Tell me you don't love kissing me. Say it right now to my face" He said. 

"I- I can't. But that doesn't mean we need to do it!" I said, starting slow and ending in a rush. 

"So we do it behind closed doors, just me and you. I mean you don't have feelings for me, right?" I shook my head. "And I mean I'm sure my feelings are just sexual frustration" Woah, he was being really upfront. "So we just snog, and fu-" 

"Woah woah waoh. No. No not that!" I cut him off. "I'm a virgin and I intend to keep it that way until I  find the special someone" 

"Ok cool, so just snogging" He said, putting his hand out to make a deal. 

oh lordy lordy lordy, what am I about to get myself into? 

"Just snogging" Harry looked into my eyes and then pulled me closer, placing his lips on mine. 

So we spent the rest of the day, alone in the house, watching movies and snogging, we ate and snogged, we played boardgames and snogged, we laid down and snogged and we stood up and snogged. Basically, snogging took up the whole day. 

Until... 

"We're home" My mom yelled up the doors. 

I stepped away from my previous position, which was straddeling Harry, and put my computer on my lap while Harry fixed his hair. 

"Hey Riles! Oh Harry, I didn't expect you to be here" My mom said, opening my door. 

"Hi Mrs. Teasdale" Harry greeted my mom.
