"I know I shouldn't but...what's this? What are we? "

Her question echoes in my head. Whoa, I must admit I didn't expect this. I mean, come on, she's Lucy, she don't ask this type of things. I guess she always surprises me, in one way or another.

I gulped and thought of a good answer. This is my time, it's the perfect way to establish something between us and move one step closer to the bet.

"What do you mean?"

Great, from all the questions that I could have said that's my way to answer. Why do I act so stupid around her?

"Well..." Lucy paused a few seconds, thinking about what she was about to say. "We can't pretend that nothing is happening between us" She shrugged.

I cannot believe that Lucy is doing this shit. I bet she wants to be my girlfriend and, I hate these things, when everything is too fast. I like her but that's too rushed, but anyway... all for the bet.

"What do you want? Do you want me as your boyfriend? "I should have sounded sweet but my voice came out aggressive.

Lucy stepped back, as if my words had hit her.

She furrowed her eyebrows and replied, "Not exactly"

Now I took a step back, feeling her words like a punch on my stomach. So what does that mean? What does she want from me? I know women are complicated but I just can't understand Lucy.

"So what?" I grunted.

I feel completely offended, I mean, any girl would die to be with me but she just said 'no'. She just hurt my ego.

"Ahm, I...I..." Lucy looked down to her feet. "What I mean is ..." Lucy shook her head and pursed her lips. "I don't want you to hurt me Harry" She let out a sigh.

I feel like I was hit by a truck, shit. Think Harry, think!

"I won't," I lied as the villain I am.

I reached a hand toward her but Lucy stepped back.

"Ca-can you promise?" She whispered. I feel like I have a super ear because this girl speaks very low.

"I promise," she nodded.

"I just need you to respect me..." She sighed. "Is it too much why I'm asking?"I shook my head and she curved her lips into a faint smile.

I know what she means, respect is basically not be with anyone else, that would kill her, I know for sure and I'm not going to do it.

We looked at each other in silence, the atmosphere has become uncomfortable and tense.

"So ...what does this mean?" She swallowed before continuing, "We're...um, together?"

"HARRY!" Lucy and I jumped as we heard a scream from outside followed by a loud knocking at the door. It was Louis.

 "HARRY HONEY, I'M HOME!!" Louis shouted again banging his fists against the door.

Why is he doing that? He has the key.

I walked to the door and opened it. My friends stormed into the house and watched Lucy standing in front of them.

"I wasn't expecting this," Liam said, surprised.

"Are we interrupting something?" Zayn said, raising an eyebrow.

"You two were having sex or something like that?" Louis asked, pretending to be offended. Lucy opened her eyes and her cheeks turned red.
