Heartbreaker ~ Larry Stylinson {English}

13. Unnecessary questions.

~ Pov Harry ~ 

The next morning I open my eyes because of the little bit of sunlight that shines right through my window. That's weird, I always close the curtains before I go to sleep. I stretch myself with a groan and almost scream out of fear when I hit a body laying next to me. That's not normal. I never let a girl sleep over. I always sleep alone, always. I don't need the warmth of another person or the morning kisses and midnight cuddles. Even a simple 'good morning' the second you're up is overrated.

I open my eyes completely to see what situation I got myself into and immediately feel the hangover while I look around my room. There's only one problem... This is not my room.

Suddenly every memory of yesterday comes rushing back in. Shit. This is Louis' room. I tilt my head a bit to the left to see Louis sleeping peacefully next to me. I turn around completely and let my head rest on my hand. I take my lip piercing between my lips while I look at him sleep. His breathing is deep and slow which tells me he's still sleeping and I certainly do not want to change that.

I let my eyes scan his body. His hair is a complete mess and they cover his blue eyes that are closed now. I kind of wished they weren't because they have the same color of the ocean. It has a calming effect and makes me want to look in them even more, but not in a creepy way.

I look down to his collarbones where there are a few hickeys showing. Did I do that? I remember vaguely something like that happening, but it's not clear. I do seem to recall his muffled moans when I kissed his skin. I let him do the same to me. He touched me and I allowed it. I don't know why but for the first time in months it felt right to do so. Or maybe I was just drunk enough that I didn't even realize what happened? Or I was horny? And he was just there and- No. I don't know. My head hurts with all these unnecessary questions.

My fingers brush against the skin on my neck and I feel the little hickey he gave me. It has started. The bet really begun. And no matter what, I need to finish it. My thoughts go back to Louis crying after I said some things I shouldn't have said. I completely ruined it, but for some reason he just let me back in, forgave me. He has hope and I don't know if I want to take that away from him. Seeing him the way he looked yesterday did something to me. I made him fucking cry with just a few words. I don't want to know what he'll do if I go through with this bet. I don't know how to feel about that. Powerful? Guilty? Mean? Weak?

I pull at my hair in frustration and growl silently so that I don't wake Louis up. I stare at the ceiling and sigh. "What am I doing...?" I take one last look at him before I get out of his bed and put on my already dry clothes. I take a quick look at my phone and see that it's 7AM. The perfect timing to sneak out without anyone noticing that I was ever here.

I stare at the empty spot next to me and sigh deeply when I realize Harry left. I roll my eyes. What did I expect? Although I'm a bit disappointed, I cannot help but smile a little. How did such a bad evening end in one of the most beautiful nights I ever experienced.

I don't know what to think of it. We were both clearly drunk, but I did realize what I was doing every second. Maybe he didn't because he was way more drunk than I was. Would he even remember what we did? He barely remember the things he said to me. Maybe I should just forget about it. It didn't mean anything anyway.

But he did kiss me three times when he wasn't drunk. He even kissed me after he told me he just kissed me to get my attention. He asked me out, yesterday was a date. And then he ruined it with his stupid game of truth or dare.

Maybe he just kissed me yesterday out of pity. He made me cry, maybe he felt guilty about it and thought I would give up our friendship that we're giving a chance again, so he kissed me.

What even are we giving a chance? Our friendship? Us?

And why? Why do we try something that we both know won't work?
