CHAPTER 3

Harry's pov

Ever since we had that conversation, Elena has been on my mind. I was confused. Why would she want me to stay away from her. I know she's going through a lot. Her mom was getting divorced. I thought that was it but the look in her eyes told me there was something else.

I searched everywhere for her. I wanted us to talk about everything. I sighted her at a corner and immediately my legs sped up to meet her. She was so drunk. I pulled her up but she grumbled.

"Harry, I told you to stay away from me. I don't want to talk to you." She reminded me again.

I felt hurt hearing her say those words.

"El, You're drunk. You don't mean all what you've said. C'mon let's go. Shawn has been looking for you." I said, trying to pull her up.

"I'm not drunk okay? Harry, I'm tired. I'm tired of playing this game. Just stay away from me please. That's all I ask." She belched, still trying to stand firmly but her intake of alcohol made her lose her balance.

"Why do you want me to stay away from you? I thought we were friends."

"Because..." She paused, taking a sip from her drink.

"Because what? Why would you want to stay away from me? El!"

"Because I love you!" She cried, covering her face.

"What did you say?" I asked again, shocked to hear her say that. She was probably drunk.

"I said I love you." She said again, kissing me immediately. I was still shocked but still I didn't stop her when I should. She's my boyfriend's girlfriend. I devoured her lips like I had been longing for it. I don't know what came over me. I'm not drunk so something is definitely wrong with me.

"This is wrong." I restrain myself. I shouldn't be doing this. It was totally wrong.

"Harry. I'm so.." She slept off in my arms like a baby.

I carried her to Shawn's bedroom. Shawn was finally calm seeing she was safe. I went back to my room. I fell on my bed, my mind still thinking about that kiss.

The following morning, I was determined to talk to Elena about last night. I wanted to know if she really meant all she said. Shawn was out again on a concert leaving me to drive El to school. El was in her final year in college. We were both silent during the drive. I cleared my throat finally letting out those questions I've been dying to ask.

"El...we need to talk." I said, sounding serious.

"Talk about what?" Elena replied, acting oblivious to what I was talking about.

She knew we had a lot to talk about so I'm surprised seeing her deny it.

"Last night. What you told me remember?" I say, wishing she remembered every word she said.

"I don't know what you're talking about Harry. You know I was drunk last night but did I say something important?" She asked.

"N..no.. it's nothing." I say, disappointed. I stopped the car and she alighted.

"Harry!" El snapped at me, leaning on the window screen.

I was lost in thoughts.

"What?"

"I was talking to you. You really need to get yourself a girlfriend." She laughs at my weird behavior.

"I don't date girls. You know that." I smirked.

"Whatever." She replied.

"Don't forget there's a beach party you don't want to miss." I reminded her.

"Yeah, right. I need to tell my friend, Anna. Okay, bye." She waved, turning her back against me.

My eyes wouldn't just stop staring at her ass as she walked. I think I have a fever.

I lied about not knowing about what I said last night and also kissing him. It was my worst mistake and it's never going to happen again. So what I just need to do is to act like nothing ever happened. That what's best.

My friend Anna drove me to her place. Shawn and Harry were picking us soon. Getting ready for bikinis! My friend searches her closet for the right bikini wear but still asking questions and really made me uncomfortable.

"So, you kissed him." She frowned, picking some clothes out of her closet.

"Like I said, I was drunk." I explained again.

"But you loved every part of it right?" She stared at me in the eyes trying to read my mind.

"N...N...uh... Stop staring at me like a zombie." It felt so weird with the way she stared into my eyes.

"Trying to change the subject uh?" She winked at me.

"No, that's not it." I stood up from her bed, ruffling my dark hair.

"Then answer the question." She winked again.

She's definitely playing with my mind. She knows the answer so why does she keep pressuring me?! Ugh!

"You ask to many question Anna. If you want to know the answer badly, ask google." I snapped. I didn't even know what to say anymore. She was really frustrating.

"Elena loved the kiss, Elena loved the kiss and she's just so shy to say it." She sang, moving around me in circles.

Now, she's acting like a four year old child. It's just so irritating. I never said I loved the kiss but...well...maybe...just a little. Whatever! Shawn is way more good at kissing!

We heard a car honk. That was definitely Shawn and harry. We packed our bikinis into our bags and some other necessary things. Immediately we got downstairs, I pleaded with Anna quickly before her big mouth causes a big mess.

"Harry doesn't know I know and Shawn, never. Please...don't tell anyone." I pleaded

"Okay, that's confusing but fine, lips sealed. Trust me." Anna promised.

I took a deep breathe. Everything's fine. I'm not a cheater neither a liar. I'm that perfect girlfriend.

We hopped in and I kissed Shawn. My naughty boyfriend couldn't stop licking my lips.

"We could do this later." I cupped his cheeks.
