Monday morning rolls around. Another week of school.

Great.

I'm tired as fuck this morning.

I stayed up late last night googling 'amazing date ideas' and 'what not to do on a first date'.

Yes that's right, I am that lame.

I just want it to be perfect, I guess.

"Morning Harry." my dad greets me as I walk into the kitchen, for whatever breakfast my mom has made me this morning.

"Holy fuck, you are actually here." I accidentally swear out of pure shock that he isn't at work.

"Language young man. You just caught me on time, I was about to leave." he takes a bite of the apple in his hand before picking up his briefcase. "I should be home for dinner tonight so I would like you to be here."

Yeah, of course he will.

"Sure." I say giving him a half smile.

He kisses my mom on the forehead and heads off to work.

"I bet you he doesn't make it home for dinner." I say to my mother as I sit down at the table.

"Have some faith in your father Harry. Maybe one day he will surprise you." My mum places a bowl, a cereal box and a carton of milk on the table in front of me.

"Oh so no amazing scrambled eggs today?" I tease.

"I was a little busy this morning, I didn't have time to make breakfast." She informs me.

"Eewww. There are things you don't need to share mother."

"Don't be so disgusting Harry. I didn't mean any funny business." She laughs a little.

I actually like the relationship I have with my mom. She is one of the best women I know.

Well, she did give birth to yours truly, so of course she is awesome.

I finish my fruit loops and head upstairs to change for school.

I look at my phone and see I have one new message.

Riley:
Hey Harry, would you mind giving me a lift to school this morning? Xx

Me:
Is your car not working again? Xx

Riley:
Yeah that's it. My mom has gone to work already so I'm unable to ask her. What do you say? Can you help a damsel in distress? Xx

I'm smiling at my phone again. My dimples must be popping out with how big my stupid grin is.

Me:
No problem I'll be ready in about 20 minutes. See you soon xx

I feel like I have a constant need to please her. I pretty much will say yes to anything she asks me.

Well maybe not anything.

I put on a Green Bay Packers jersey and a pair of black skinny jeans. I look in the mirror at my hair, it's grown a lot longer then I usually have it. I can't be bothered to do anything to it so I tie up a headband to push it out of my eyes.

It's something new but I'll give it a try.

"Bye mom!" I shout from the bottom of the stairs as I put on my boots.

"Harry, wait." she says storming out from the kitchen.

What's wrong with her? How did I manage to piss her off in the 15 minutes I was upstairs?

"What is that on your head?" She asks trying not to laugh.

"Shut up mom. What did you want?"

"I just wanted to know what you wanted for dinner tonight, I'm going grocery shopping after work so I can pick something up."

I look at her in confusion. "So you came in here like a stampede and all you wanted was to ask what to cook for dinner?"

She nods her head.

"You are a very strange woman mom. Has anyone ever told you that?"

"Oh thanks Harry, I'll take that as a compliment."

I laugh, give her a kiss on the cheek and walk out the door.

My mom is a nutcase sometimes but I love her.

See I can be soppy sometimes.

Once I get outside I see Riley leaning on my car.

She looks hot as fuck.

Like always.

"Morning sunshine." I say as I approach her.

"Nice headband Axl Rose." she teases me but I take it as a compliment.

He is a fucking rock god.

"I like the fact that you know who Axl Rose is."

"Of course I do. Sweet child o' mine is my jam." she instantly laughs at her cuteness.

I shake my head. "Get in the car, dork."

"So, what did you have for breakfast this morning?" I ask her as we pull out of my driveway.

What the fuck?

Who asks that?

Me. That's who.

I swear I only ever embarrass myself around her.

"I had pancakes, I made them myself. Not trying to brag or anything, but they tasted amazing."

"Maybe I'll have to try them one day."

"Are you inviting yourself round for breakfast Harry?" She jokes.

"No." I cough awkwardly. "Unless you want me too."

"I would like that." she smiles and looks out of the window. "Harry?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to know a secret?" She half whispers.

Obviously. Who doesn't?

We pull up in the parking lot and I turn off the engine.

"There was nothing wrong with my car." she tells me.

"Oh." I say in surprise.

Why did she ask me for a lift then?

"I just wanted to see you." she confesses and I find it adorable.

"You would have seen me at school."

Shut up you idiot.

Always have to say shit to ruin the fucking moment.

I cock block myself more then Niall does.

"That's true." She nods. "But then I couldn't do this." she leans in and kisses me softly on the lips.

Wow.

As I keep saying....I didn't expect that.

I didn't really get chance to kiss her back before she opens the car door and gets out.

Her head pokes through the door. "Thanks for the lift rockstar." she winks at me and slams the door shut.

I sit there for a few minutes trying to comprehend what just happened.

Her confidence, sass and soft fucking lips have me all worked up.

I wonder if anyone saw?

I really hope not.

Not that I'm ashamed of her. I'm definitely not. I just don't want it to get back to Niall.

I would like to keep this, whatever it is, low-key for now.

Just between me and the girl next door.
