It felt great talking to Harry last night, I feel he understands me, and he won't judge me. He will call me out on my bullshit though which is very important.

We talked till ten last night, because he didn't want to go home any sooner, but I didn't want him driving back at midnight so I made sure he went home sooner.

"Leah, are you okay?" I hear a voice ask. I always get caught up in my own head.

I look up and I see someone I wasn't really expecting "Finn wait- why are you here?" I ask in a state of shock.

"I came back early, but are you okay?" He says in a gentle voice.

"Yeah I'm okay, I was just in my own head is all" I assure him.

"Oh okay, I just thought maybe I'd get a hug or an I miss you" he laughs. I think he's being truthful though.

"I mean it was pretty boring without you, especially with Sage not being here for the past few days" I reply. I can't tell him I miss him, mainly because I don't know if I did. I missed Harry and could barley tell him that.

"Yeah well I'm actually kind of happy to be back" he admits.

"That's good, now let's get to work, we don't want to be like Sage and slack off" I tease. Sage knows she slacks off quite a bit, I mean we all know it, it's no secret.

"I didn't know you were so ticklish" Finn says laughing.

"I am, and I will probably punch you in the face if you tickle me again" I joke. I honestly hate being tickled, I just don't really like being touched.

He holds his hands up in defense "Didn't know you were so aggressive"

"Well surprise and don't think your red hair and innocent face will stop me from hitting you" I inform him.

He starts to smirk at me. What is he Harry now. "Don't think your threats will stop me then" I raise my eyebrows in shock.

He starts to move closer to me. "No I was kidding please don't" I beg.

He starts to smile as he starts to tickle my sides. "Stop ah-please" I laugh.

He doesn't stop until a minute later, his hands still on my waist "I will literally kill you" I reply trying to catch my breath.

I hear someone clear their throat trying to gain our attention, I turn around and my heart nearly stops, it's Harry.

"What a cute couple you two are, I was wanting a coffee if you don't mind me interrupting" His voice cold.

"I'll get it" Finn blurts as he practically runs away. He forgot to take the money from him.

I turn to Harry, taking a deep breath "Harry that wasn't what-"

"It wasn't? It wasn't his hands on your waist?" Yeah he's pissed.

"It was but in a friendly way" I tell him, my voice coming out sharper.

"You really think he just sees you as a friend?" He laughs, like a real laugh coming from his gut "You are so oblivious, I wouldn't be surprised if he was secretly in love with you or something"

I suck in a sharp breath "No he's not. Even if he saw me as more, I don't, you know I don't"

"And how do I know that exactly?" He replies, furrowing his eyebrows.

"For fucks sake Harry, I like you, not him you idiot! You know that, we talked about this yesterday but as soon as your jealousy takes over, you forget all of that" I raise my voice at him.
