Chapter 9

Harry

When Tyler and I arrived at the model home, it was filled with people. My phone buzzed in my pocket indicating that I have a message.

I brought it out to check who it was. It was a nude mirror picture from a girl named Julie.

Julie: Am I seeing you tonight daddy?

I replied her instantly

Me: no love

Julie:

Me: maybe tomorrow

"Got these bitches blowing up your phone, huh?" Tyler spoke

I showed him the photo. His eyes widened

"Whoa she's hot. Who is she?"

"Her name's Julie. I met her in a club"

"Wait I thought you were fucking with a girl named Ashley?"

"Yeah. Julie has bigger boobs so you know" I shrugged

He shook his head

"You've only been here for a week yet you already got hoes"

"That's the Styles effect for ya"

"Come on. Let's party"

"No no no. How bout I party and you go find Malia"

"Good call. You sure you'll be fine on your own"

I scoffed

"Yes dad"

He patted me on my shoulder and left.

I looked around the room confused about what to do or where to go. I don't know anybody here but the party did look lit

I finally found what to do. There was a table filled with alcohol. Bingo! Drinks! There's vodka too. I made my way over to the drinks table and helped myself to a glass of Hennessy.

I groaned as the bitter sweet taste of liquor burned my throat.

Right across the room, Amanda was talking to one of her friends. I can't tell if it was Keisha or Janet. I just met them tonight which made it really hard to remember

The sight of her accompanied with the upcoming effects of Hennessy made it hard for me to breathe.

She's still wearing that sexy dress with the killer heels. There was a sudden tightness in my pants.

Jesus

She's quite the stunner

"She's your best friend's sister Harry! Control yourself!"

I almost became a dead man when our eyes made contact.

She smiled at me showcasing her white sculpted teeth beautifully contrasting with her dark skin. What the hell is wrong with me? I'm speaking in my head like Shakespeare

Why am I even attracted to her? I don't like black girls

She walked over to the table where I was and stood in front of me

"Hey you" she said

I suddenly became tongue tied or is the alcohol getting to me already?

"Hi" I responded

"Cool party?"

I shrugged taking a sip of my drink

"I guess"

"Are you having fun?"

"I can't really say since I just got here. It does look.... Promising"

She giggled

"Promising? You have an interesting choice of words Harry"

"Do I? Are you making fun of me"

"What if I am?"

Her lips were coated with bright red lipstick. They looked plump and full. Oh the things I would do just to get a taste.

Wait a minute... Am I thinking this way because I'm genuinely into her or because of my Casanova traits?

After all, some girls let me fuck on the first day we meet. I'm an adult. Sex is nothing so its normal for me to feel attracted to her even though we barely know each other.

It’s a free world.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting drunk.

"What's going on?" An angry voice boomed. It was Jeremy

"Hey boo" Amanda said trying to touch him. He smacked her hand away immediately

What the hell? Why would he hit her like that?

"I wanna know something" Jeremy was talking to me “why out of all these people here, you choose my girlfriend to talk to"

"Cause she's human"

Amanda was trying her best not to laugh.

"So are the rest people here"

"I'm the one who came to talk to him" Amanda said

"Keep quiet!"

"Don't speak to her that way" I spoke

"Dude you talked to her less than thirty minutes ago back at the house. That wasn't enough for you?"

"He's like family Jeremy. He's Tyler's best friend. I can talk to him as many times as I want" Amanda said "I can't talk to guys now?"

"Naah Amanda that's not the case" I said "Your boyfriend is an insecure bitch"

"The fuck did you just call me?"

"Jeremy stop this!" Amanda cried "you're being ridiculous"

He dragged her by the hand to a private corner of the room. I watched them argue back and forth for some minutes before he stormed off.

She sat on a nearby couch with her head in her hands. I considered going to comfort her but I've had enough trouble for the night as it is

I poured myself a glass of wine and walked outside to do nothing in particular. People were in groups outside talking, some were dancing, some smoked.

I wish I brought a blunt. Stupid me. It would have cleared my head right now

I put my left hand in my pocket and used my right hand to take sips of my drink.. From the corner of my eye I saw Jeremy with a white blonde girl walking somewhere in the dark

She was holding his arm and whispering in his ear. He looked around as if to make sure no one was looking then they disappeared into the night.

Why is he running off with some girl? Maybe they're just friends? It isn't any of my business

My thoughts got interrupted by a squeaky voice

"Harry!"

Malia came into view. She stumbled a little; I caught her and stood her up straight

"Watch it"

She threw her hands around my neck

"I've been looking everywhere for you" she slurred. She poked the dimples in my cheek "you're so cute"

I tried my best to push her off me. Tyler could be looking at us. He could be here anytime now. I don't want him to think I'm hitting on her

"Get off me please" I told her

"No. I wanna get to know you... Physically" she giggled

She's definitely drunk

"Stop"

"Hey Harry" Tyler's voice sounded "I've been looking everywhere... For you" he trailed off when he saw us

"What are you doing man?" He asked in disbelief

I tried pushing her off me but the girl wouldn't move

"Its not what it looks like I swear"

"I told you I like her" he whispered

"You like me? Eww" Malia said "I don't even know you"

Oh my Lord. This cannot be happening

Tyler turned his back and walked away. I pushed her off me with all the strength I could and rushed to him

"Let me explain please" I touched his shoulder to get his attention. He pushed me with so much force that I stumbled..

"Leave me alone. You're an ungrateful bastard!" He shouted "why don't you go back to the ghettos of England where you're from"

Amanda gasped.

A weird feeling of embarrassment washed over me. I wish she hadn't heard that. I had no idea she was there

"That's an awful thing to say Ty" she muttered

"Ghetto?" Malia questioned "Eww"

Can this girl shut the fuck up

A crowd had already formed around us. Great. This is just what I needed. A fucking audience

"Yes ghetto" Tyler answered "he's wearing my suit by the way cause he can't afford one"

I sighed

I pushed past Tyler and walked to the exit hoping to get out of here without any more drama

"Harry wait"

Amanda ran up to me and held my hands. I couldn't help but notice how warm that made me feel

"Leave me alone please"

I gently removed my hands away from hers and walked all the way home
