Keeper

Chapter 16

"So what do you want to do?" Harry asked, making himself comfortable on my bed by crossing his legs over each other in the pretzel position. I followed his actions and did the same, sitting directly across from him.

I pulled my hair over to one shoulder out of nervousness. I had never been this close to a boy before. Especially not on a bed. I felt my phone vibrate from beside me but decided to ignore it.

Harry swept a hand through his hand as he waited for my answer. I noticed how his eyes seemed brighter in my bedroom lighting than in the school hallways. The green was much more vibrant to say the least. Somehow I didn't catch that last night.

"I don't know. Before you showed up I wasn't going to do anything really."

Harry smiled, "Well I'm here now, so we have to do something."

I was hesitant to ask but had no other option in sight,

"Well what do you have in mind?" I asked.

Harry's eyes lit up,

"Truth or dare?" He suggested.

"Only if we keep it on the down low." I shrugged.

Harry just nodded,

"You can have the honors of going first."

"Oh okay then, truth or dare?" I asked.

"Truth."

I let a smile crawl onto my lips,

"I pictured you as more of a dare kind of guy, but whatever you say." I teased.

Harry only rolled his eyes.

"Um, when did you get your first peircing?" I asked. My eyes quickly found their way down to his lip ring. I could tell Harry noticed me staring because he rolled his tongue over the silver hoop.

"When I was fifteen, it was my eyebrow piercing."

"Did it hurt?" I asked.

Harry's smile grew,

"Just a little pinch is all."

My eyes absentmindedly wondered from his eyes back down to lips, eventually landing on his jaw line. Then a few inches below the right corner of his lips I noticed a little mole,

"I never noticed you had a mole before." I whispered, my finger finding it's way to it. I hadn't even realized what I was doing.

"It's not a mole. It's a...a beauty mark." Harry protested.

"No, it's just a itty bitty mole." I teased.

"Okay, enough." Harry laughed, carefully pulling my finger off of him.

I could feel the blush grow on my cheeks but Harry didn't seem to notice.

"Truth or dare?" He asked.

"Truth."

"Who was your first kiss? And where?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes,

"What an original question."

I was hesitant to answer but the words just came tumbling out,

"Um, well you actually. In the library"

Harry raised an eyebrow,

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah." I nodded, awkwardly looking down at my hands to avoid his eyes.

"I'm sorry." Harry muttered.

I squinted my eyes,

"What for?" I asked, looking up and meeting his gaze.

He hastily pulled his lip ring in between his teeth,

"If I would've known, then I would've done it better."

"It was fine." I laughed.

"But I could do better." He shrugged, his eyes squinting slightly back at me.

"Truth or dare?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Dare."

I quickly rounded up a variety dares in my head, until I finally settled on one,

"I dare you to...lick your elbow."

Harry furrowed his eyebrows,

"That's it?"

"Yeah."

"Fine." He laughed.

He brought his elbow up to his face and stuck his tongue out, his wiggled it around for a little, unfortunately not having much success.

"I can't do it." He huffed.

"Just try a little harder." I pushed.

Harry tried again, but once again he came up short,

"I can't, sorry."

"Fine. It's your turn."

Harry put on a devilish grin,

"Alright Harley, truth or dare?"

"I'll go with dare." I smiled back.

Harry spoke without a single hesitation,

"I dare you to let me kiss you again."

I swallowed the already building lump in my throat

"Alright." I shrugged.

With one swift motion Harry was on his knees, his forehead resting on top of mine. I could feel his breath hit my nose, his arms wrapped around my neck. My eyes stayed locked with his the entire time.

"Are you gonna kiss me or not?" I whispered.

I heard Harry laugh before he slowly pressed his lips to mine, my eyes closing immediately. We moved our lips in harmony, his tongue soon finding it's way to my bottom lip, swiping over it.

I wasn't sure what to do so I hesitantly opened my mouth, his tongue quickly meeting mine. The feeling made me gasp but only made Harry laugh.

Before Harry could even think about deepening the kiss, there were loud rushed footsteps coming up from the staircase.

I quickly pulled away from Harry, his eyes going wide as he too, heard the footsteps.

"What do I do?" He asked in a rush. His one hand swiped over his face out of frustration.

"I don't know! Just-"

Before I had the chance finish my sentence the door began to slowly squeak open.
