The New Girl

{70} Abnormal hot tubbing, revealed secret, and conclusions

This week has been truly good. I think every day Harry or Lyssa found a way to make it fun. My phone is running out of space because of so many damn pictures. So many pictures I took of Harry. I barely even tell him I'll be taking one and they turn out so good. Then there's me. I am going to lie and say I am photogenic. Totally.

It's getting a little weird but my dad wants to invite Harry everywhere. Maybe he thought I'd never talk to boys. Maybe I used to think that too but let's not ruin the moment Dad. Harry went with us to get our Christmas tree. I mean, if that's not getting slightly weird I don't know what is. I guess I just think of Christmas tree shopping as a family thing.

We went to the mall a lot after driving aimlessly around. We thought we'd find somewhere new to go but it usually was the mall. Harry ended up pulling me to play the stupid games and actually won me a stuffed sheep. The sheep is super cute... I was really excited okay? After constant hanging out at my house with Harry, of course I ended up going to his.

His family is the sweetest and I was glad I could meet them again when not "dropping the tray" at Wings n Rings. Damn, that was pretty embarrassing if I think about it. But weirdly - nothing has changed and nothing has happened. And even weirder, it's getting comfortable being like this with Harry. How come we had that amazing snog at the beginning of break? If only he told me how he feels.

"I can't believe I'm doing this!" I panic as Harry opens the door.

"I can't believe you haven't done this before." He holds out his hand.

"Golly, it's so warm out here!" Lyssa yells as she sits in the hot tub, "You children are slowpokes."

Harry and I stand at the door in our bathing suits, ready to take a run for it. Hot tubbing late at night in the snow. I finally take Harry's hand and scream before I even step in the snow. Harry tugs me with him as we run for the steaming hot tub. The snow burns my feet but I feel hot and cold at the same time. It's a really weird feeling.

Making me grin like an idiot, Harry picks me up bridal style and lifts me into the hot tub. Harry quickly hops in too. Lyssa raises her eyebrows at us making exaggerated sighs of relief. It wasn't so bad actually.

"That was sick." Harry comments.

"You say that a lot." Lyssa points out.

"You say fab a lot."

"He speaks the truth." She tells me.

"Thanks for sharing." I give her a thumbs up.

I keep myself under the water as much as I can. First of all, it's snowing and I don't think it's normal to be in a bathing suit at the moment. Second of all, Harry hasn't seen me in a bathing suit ever. This bathing suit is Lyssa's old one because I didn't have any cute suits.

"Hey congrats Harry, you're part of the fam." I stick my tongue out.

He knew just what I was talking about, "That's unfortunate.."

Lyssa and I both scoff.

"We're the most amazing-est people ever." Lyss crosses her arms.

Harry grins, "I was joking okay?"

"So you wanna be in our family officially?" I laugh.

One of Harry's dimples show and the heat is making his hair crazy.

"I now go by the name Harry Ross."
