"Won't lie, say I don't lie

Yeah, I might've told a few lies, yeah"

If the ground could open up and swallow me whole at this very moment, I'd die a happy woman.

Right now, I'm currently gaping at Harry with wide eyes, his arm still around my waist holding me against him. He has that stupid smirk etched across his face. I honestly think it grows bigger and bigger as time passes between us.

I'd give anything to get out of this rather comprising situation.

My mouth keeps opening amd closing but no words come out.

Did I like what I saw?

Oh of course you did! Who wouldn't?!

But it's Harry for god's sake. I can't fuel his already huge ego by admitting to the truth. Not only that.....but if we were supposedly starting over as friends, I can't tell my friend that I like shamelessly ogling him. This is something that I have to keep to myself......okay, fine. Myself and Lily.

Urghh. She won't let me live me this one down for sure. I've been her source of entertainment this entire week with everything that's been happening here. Now, I'm pretty sure that this will take the cake. What a way to end an already crazy week!

Harry lifts a brow, looking at me expectantly.

Oh......he wanted an answer. Shit!

I clear my throat and start,

"Uh...What?" yes! Act dumb and maybe he'll let it go. Who am I kidding? No he won't!

"I asked if you like what you see," he says, gesturing to his torso with his free hand, that smirk ever so present on those full, pink lips of his.

They look so soft. Can I touch the- focus Mia!

I looked into his eyes and find myself completely entranced by them that I forgot the plan of not letting him know the truth.

"Yes...." I breathe out, his eyes still captivating my own.

Hold up!

"NO!" I rushed out but then cleared my throat and said,

"I mean no. I didn't see anything."

"So what were you staring at, Mia?" Damn! I don't think my name ever sounded so good.

"Umm. I erm....." Think Mia, Think!

Before I could stop what comes out of my mouth next, I say,

"I have a lazy eye," lazy eye? Ok let's go with that then...

"A lazy eye, huh? You sure? I mean, I reckon it was my-"

"No, it was my lazy eye. Can't help it, you know?" Lily will have a field day with this.

Harry looks at me with an amused expression. You can tell that he's trying to hold back his laugh.

"Hmm. I don't remember you having a lazy eye, Mia. It must have slipped my mind."

"Yeah well. A lot of things seem to slip your mind so I'm not surprised."

As soon as the words leave my mouth, I instantly regret saying them when I see hurt briefly flash across his features. I didn't even think before I said it. He quickly composes himself and his everlasting smirk reappears.

"Well then, I hope you don't mind refreshing my memory. How long have you had this lazy eye of yours?"

"Ummm.... Well, you know, since....since umm," think of something!

"It comes and goes. Has a mind of it's own, can't control it, you know"

God, I'd laugh at myself if I wasn't so embarrassed. At least I can't blush.
Now that's when I should start considering digging my grave.

He steps back from me a bit and removes his hand from around my waist.

"Must be stressful, I bet. Not having control of it. Maybe," he raises a finger and his face lights up as though he just made a new discovery,

"Maybe something triggers it. Could it be my bare tors-"

I cut him off again,"So anyway, what are you doing inside."

He chuckles lightly at me and then says,

"Just had to use the loo, love. But I'd gladly stay and chat about your lazy eye. Maybe we could figure out what triggers it together." he's the worst. Oh my fucking god!

"Don't hold your breath," I mumbled. I need an excuse to get away from this situation!
"Anyway, I have to umm.....I have to go....clean the balls." Clean the balls?? Where the hell did that come from? Who cleans bowling balls. Apparently me!

Harry's eyes widen and then he closes his eyes and shakes his head at me, pretending to be disappointed.

As if a ton of bricks just smacked me in the face,

"Bowling balls! I meant bowling balls. I have to clean the bowling balls" I quickly said.

He continues shaking his head at me with an amused smile,

"My my Mia, you naughty little thing. I never would've expected that from you. It's always the quiet ones. Always."

"Oh shut up. You know what I mean," I said, playfully shoving his shoulder.

"No unfortunately I don't know what you mean, Mia. Do explain," he said feigning innocence. He knows how much he's frustrating me and is getting a kick out of it. But I can't take anymore. It feel like I'm going to combust.

"Just go fucking pee and leave me alone, please! God, I forgot how much of an annoying prick you could be." Not gonna lie, I kinda missed this.....

"Alright I'm going. I'm going," he says raising his hands in surrender.

Before he walks towards the downstairs bathroom, he comes closer to me and whispers into my ear,

"I missed you too Mia. Don't let that lazy eye of yours wander too much. It could complicate things."

Without giving me time to ask what he meant by that, he disappears down the hallway. It was only then that I let out the breath that I didn't know I was holding.

I rush to my room and search for my phone.

When I find it, I unlock it and dial the number that's been engraved into my head.

As soon as the other line answers, I immediately rush out without giving them a chance to speak,

"What the hell is happening to me?"
