Harry's POV

I pull up to Jamie's house and park my car next to hers. That means she's here, right? Unless she got a ride to school... Might as well check. I walk up to the door and knock, but there's no answer.

"Fuck," I mutter to myself. This is creepy but I try the handle and it's unlocked so I go inside to see if she's just ignoring me. I see chips on the counter next to a couple of phones. Wait. Two phones?

I can hear something... Like a splashing sound. Does she have a pool? I think I remember seeing a pool when we were in her basement that first night, so I head down there. Sure enough the sound of laughter grows louder as I go down the steps. I open the door and my mouth drops open.

There's Jamie. In her bra and underwear. Her very lacy, very hot bra and underwear. But she's not alone.

She's laughing and splashing Niall, who's also in only underwear. She turns to look up at me and the laugh freezes on her face.

"Am I interrupting?" I ask with a pointed glare at Niall.

"Nialler's just cheering me up. Right Ni?" Jamie says nonchalantly.

"Yeah. Hey Haz, care for a swim?" his courage that had shone through in the cafeteria was clearly gone because he's bright red and won't look me in the eyes.

"No, I think I'll just leave you two alone."

I spin on my heels and storm back the way I came. As I make it to the top of the stairs I feel a wet body collide into me and knock me to the floor. I assume it's Niall because there's no way Jamie would feel the need to chase me, but when I roll over, it's her straddling my chest.

"This would be totally hot if you hadn't been in that pool with my best friend ten seconds ago," I mumble.

"Oh, it's hot anyways," she smirks down at me, "I just didn't want you leaving thinking you had any reason to be mad at Niall. He came out to see if I was okay and we talked."

I wasn't sure if I believed that was all that happened, but it's kind of hard to think when you've got a dripping wet, nearly-naked girl straddling you. Unfortunately, she crawls off of me and stands up just as Niall appears at the top of the stairs with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"I'm gonna let you two talk. Haz, can I take your car?" he looks at me expectantly until I toss him my keys.

"Yeah, I'll just crash in one of her guest rooms or something," I say even though I'm praying to end up in another room. Not alone.

"Or I'll drive him home," Jamie smiles at Niall.

Niall seems comfortable in the house as he walks over and plucks up the remaining chips and his phone. Jamie skips over to give him a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek before they exchange some whispers that I can't make out. After Niall finally leaves, she turns to look at me.

"I need to change," she declares before walking with purpose towards the stairs.

I follow her, taking the stairs two at a time. I remember where her room is from that day that I followed her up here. I walk into her room and flop down onto her bed while she changes in her walk-in closet. She emerges in a tank top and sweat pants and lays down on the opposite side of the bed from me.

"Go on, ask," she says after a minute of silence.

"It's true?"

"Yeah," she breathes.

"I don't care..." and I really don't. I've had my fair share of sex. For all I know, she had sex one time and just wasn't safe.

"That's good."

We lay there for another second before I ask the question that is on the tip of my tongue, "If you were just hanging out, why would you be in the pool in your underwear?"

"Well, if you hadn't come, I planned to seduce him. I find that sex really helps when I'm in a rotten mood," she states with a scarily straight face.

"Are you-" I'm cut off by her rolling over on top of me.


"No. I'm not serious. Niall's just really cool. And I still want nothing to do with you. Because you're the golden boy and I'd be as bad for you as you would be for me. But right now, I'm gonna kiss you because I know that if I don't, Alexis would get her way."

Then she does. She leans down and gives me the softest, sweetest kiss I've ever experienced.
