ENID

The amount of light that entered my eye as I turned in my bed was blinding. My room never had much lightning. Then it all came rushing back. I sat up straight and scanned my surroundings. I stood up and walked around. Harry was nowhere in sight. I found my way into his bathroom which was also clean and organised. I looked at my reflection in his mirror. My eyes were puffy. Probably due to the way I cried that morning.

I washed my face and walked back out to his room and met him there. "You're awake. Good." He said. I sat on the bed near him and mumbled. "Good morning to you too." He looked tired. I guessed he did not sleep. I scanned his face and stopped at his lips. The same ones that kissed me that morning. I almost blushed at that memory but it was squashed by the part where he said He and June were fuck buddies. How splendid!

He only rolled his eyes at me and went on his phone. I rubbed my hand against my eye as I checked the time on my phone. It was 8 AM. I slept for about 3 hours. Then again I looked back at Harry. He looked really tired and he was even yawning. Why did he stay up? "Did you sleep at all?" I asked. He looked at me with a tired face. "Does it look like I did?" He retorted. I should have known, always with witty remarks.

"Why didn't you sleep?" I questioned moving closer to him. He looked away from his phone and looked at me first before replying. "I was acting like Edward Cullen. I watched you sleep." I could feel my heart beam with warmth. I reached for him and pulled him into a hug. He was surprised but let me hug him nevertheless. We stayed in that position with his hands around my petite waist and mine around him for a while before we pulled away. I played with my hair as I said to him. "I'm going home now and I need you to sleep Harry. It was really nice of you and I'm sorry for being a crying mess early this morning." I ranted as I approached his door. He held me back by my hand.

"I'll walk you to the stop." He said and I smiled at him. We walked down the stairs to grab our jackets. I wore mine and didn't zip up to check if he would zip me up. He stepped out the door first and waited for me. I was about to step out when he pushed me lightly back in. "Enid, it's cold outside. You're supposed to zip up." He said as he zipped me up. I only stared at him with only one thought in mind.

We walked hand in hand to the stop and he waited with me till the bus came. We talked about random people that were passing by and may I add, he made fun of me about the first time we met in the diner. About the fact that I was just wearing a hoodie that night. I couldn't exactly tell him why I had just a hoodie on. So I just let him laugh around. Besides, I liked hearing his laughter. The bus came and it was time to go I didn't know when next we would see but I knew it would be soon.

"I'll text you when I wake Enid." He whispered in my ear and kissed my cheek before pushing me onto the bus. I could still feel his lips on my cheek. They were warm and soft against my cold cheek. On the ride home, I tried to imagine how our next encounter was going to be. Were we going to talk about his relationship with June or our relationship? I had no idea.

I walked back to the apartment and got to the front door. I opened it and let myself in. I saw my mom up. It seemed like Father and Esme were still asleep. Mom frowned when she noticed me coming in. "Where have you been Enid?" I rolled my eyes as I responded, "I needed fresh air." I lied. I hated having to lie but I couldn't exactly tell her I went out since 4 AM to my crush's house now, could I? She didn't push the subject further. I smiled and went to my room. I was a little bit tired because I haven't had enough hours of sleep.

I woke up to my phone buzzing on my nightstand. I squinted my eyes to look at the caller ID. It was Addi. "Enid, wake the fuck up!" She yelled at me. I couldn't reply. So I cut the call. I knew Addi would understand that I wasn't in the mood. I looked at my notification box and saw a text from Harry as expected. I didn't open it yet. I stood up from my bed and rushed to the kitchen to get an apple. I felt the need to eat something. I wasn't exactly feeling hungry but I needed to eat something.

"Just woke up now. Wish you were here to kiss me."

I blushed at the phone as if he could see my reaction. He wanted to kiss me again. But I wasn't there. He could easily go to June and you know. I got really worried. June was an obstruction to my new source of love. I felt helpless because he could end up going to June. All I had to do was just trust him not to go and I did. I typed back a reply immediately.

"How about we meet up at the diner tomorrow on Christmas Eve? 3?"

I stood up from my bed and got ready for a day of sulking and being lazy. I was yet to organise a new addition to my wardrobe. I started to arrange them but I couldn't help but pause and let Harry wander through my mind!
