The Strings Attached

Part 6

------------

She didn't know what to do. Does she go for it? Does she leave?
It's like a nightmare she's never waking up from.

"Alexa? Are you alright?" A voice says in the dark.

I open my eyes and jump up on the couch. I see Harrison standing across from me with his arms crossed. I'm so confused, was that a dream? Was that all a dream?

"What?" I ask, staring blankly at him. Maybe he'll say something. But knowing Harrison, he wouldn't of been talking to me right now.

Harrison chuckles and looks down. "You fell asleep after we got back from lunch. I just let you sleep." Harrison steps a bit closer and I shift. "We gotta go to set now though."

I wiggle my mouth, and try to avoid eye contact. "Okay. I'll be out in a second."

I dash off to the bathroom and lock the door. I lean over the sink and take some deep breaths. Was what happened real? No, it couldn't be. Harrison would have been really awkward around me, plus I would have woken up in my room.

But, why did I have a dream about Harrison? And a sexual one at that. I close my eyes before taking a few deep breaths.

Hesitantly, I open the door and walk out. Harrison was at the bottom of the stairs getting his shoes on, and grabbing his bag.

"You ready?" He asks and looks at me in possibly the most adorable way.

I scrunch my face up for how stupid I was, then hopped down the stairs with my camera and bag.

"Yeah." I say quietly. "Let's go."

Harrison gets in the drivers seat and I hop in the passengers seat. The first part of the drive is pretty silent. Harrison listens to the radio and I gaze out the window.

"So..." Harrison begins to say and turns down the music. "I'm planning a trip home for Tom in a few weeks, when he gets a few days off for filming. It's going to be a surprise."

I turn my head towards Harrison who's looking forward at the road. God, he's so flipping adorable. I snap back to reality when I realized he asked me a question.

"Oh yeah, I'm in." I say and give a little smirk. "Does my mum know about this?"

Harrison slowly nods, keeping his eyes forwards. "Yeah, she called me when we got home earlier today. She was the one who gave me the idea."

Harrison stops at a light and turns to look at me. When he smiles, his eyes glow. I can't help but stare and smile back.

"Cool..." I trail off. Harrison smirks a bit before focusing back onto the road. I shake my head and look forward. "So, We haven't really had a full conversation since Civil War. What's been going on in life?"

Harrison is still focused on the road. He shakes his head slowly and shrugs. "Nothing much. Photography's been going good."

I nod and smile, thinking of something to say. "Any girlfriends?" I ask in a cheeky way.

Harrison chuckles and smiles. "No. No girlfriends. It's just....there's no one really right now I'm interested in I guess." I laugh and smile, but also feel a bit crushed. "Any boyfriends for you?" Harrison asks in the same way.

I laugh out loud and sigh. "No. Same reason as you mate. Just no one I'm interested in." I shrug.

Harrison laughs, but it slowly dies down. We are a few blocks away from set and the rest of the ride is silence. I don't know why but it feels like there's tension between us.

And I don't know why but I feel like I'm falling for him.

{Harrison's POV}

I've been friends with Alexa for as long as I can remember. It's always been us three. Tom, Alexa and I. We were the trio everyone loved in school.

While Tom was filming Civil War, I was talking about change. Tom went through his when he got the role as Spider Man, since it was s big role. And I feel like Alexa just went through her change.

She did an extra year of university to get her degree's. She became a world famous author, and trust me, her book is amazing. And she is also a photographer.

I don't know why but seeing her again after almost a year was different, if you know what I mean. There was something different about her.

Alexa's beautiful blonde hair with streaks of natural red were the same. Even curlier and longer then before. She's still the shorter twin compared to Tom, even though she is the older one. Her gorgeous smile still shined like the sun, and her laugh still filled the room.

Some days I feel like I'm just falling for her, and I'm falling so damn hard. And some days I feel fine.

But the truth is, I've been in love with Alexa since forever. And I knew I could never date her since she was Tom's sister. Not younger but still, his sister. I can't do that to my best friend.

I'm just falling for her. And it's pretty damn hard.

A/N: sorry for the long awaited update. I got a question for you guys.
Do I keep the chapters long like this or do I shorten them?
If I keep them long more will happen but I won't update as much. If I keep them short they will be interesting and I'll update more?
Just give me feed back :)
