Valentina’s P.O.V
“What’s this?!” I heard confusion coming from by my door. “Harry? Harry!”
Larry called out.

I hurried and popped up from the bed. I turned over to shake Harry awake; he slowly opened his eyes and yawned. He rubbed his eyes to get a better seeing of what was going on. Once he saw Larry and mom standing at the door he hoped out of bed.

“I can expla--…” Harry was struggling for a lie.
“That is your sister…mister” Larry pointed his finger at Harry.
I sat there not knowing what was going to happen. Come up with a lie!

I ran my eyes around the room for an explanation. I stopped my eyes on my phone.
In the background Larry was stilling ranting about how weird and perverted this was. While I listened to the song that was playing.

*You can be a sweet dream….or a beautiful nightmare*

Oh I got it! “I had a terrible nightmare!” I yelled. They both stop ranting to turn and pay attention to me. “I…I had the worst nightmare last night…and..” I searched Harry’s eyes. He nodded his head slightly for me to go on. “And…Harry came to comfort me….I was too embarrassed to come to you guys…”

I looked over at Larry. He gave me a tight smile. My mom rounded the corner of him and came to sit by me. “Oh honey…embarrassed or not…you can always come to talk to us”
I stared down at my hands, as mom wrapped me in a huge hug. “I know…I know”

Larry walked over to Harry and patted him on the back. “Well I’m sorry son…I should have never even thought that you would do something like that”
“its okay dad…I thought you know we didn’t get off to a good start and maybe…If she knew I was there for her like a big brother should be…she would like me more”

Mom released me from her over smothering hug and wondered over by Larry. “Okay well….you kids get cleaned up, you still have school” Mom turned on her heels and headed out the door but Larry lingered a minute longer. His eyes wondered over to Harry’s shirt on the floor; Harry and I followed his gaze.

Oh shit! I forgot about that.
“Um son…why is your shirt off…even better yet on the floor?”
Larry crossed his arms and stared at us both for a response. Harry looked at me for help, but I couldn’t think of anything.

“Dad….come on….I didn’t want to embarrass Val but….” He reached up to scratch the back of his head nonchalant “She was crying too”

Harry bent down to pick up his shirt “For bloody sakes, my shirt was like a waterfall…..” He looked over at Larry again and could see that; that wasn’t convincing enough.
“I’m surprise that it could dry that fast” He threw on the shirt then walked pass Larry. “C’mon dad I need to talk to you about the soccer drills for Monday”

Larry lingered his eyes on me before turning to leave “Bye sweetheart”
“Bye…um dad”

I arrived at school. I walked through the doors and over to my locker. I quickly grabbed my history book and Chemistry lab notes. I slammed the lockers closed and started for my classroom; until I caught something at the corner of my eye.
'
I saw Harry talking to Shelby. Maybe it’s just a friendly convo. I eased back a little and walked slowly pass them; every now and then I glanced over. First she touched his arm; then she shook his shoulder. And now…the fuck? She’s kissing him. She slammed her lips into Harry’s, but Harry grabbed her firmly and shoved her away.

He wiped his lips with the back of his hand. He raised his voice at Shelby and Shelby tried to apologize but they both split away. Shelby walked back towards the front entrance with tears about to flood down her eyes. As I removed my eyes from hers I draw them to Harry. But Harry didn’t leave; he didn’t even storm off.

He stopped and was now staring at me. I could see the sympathetic and I’m-sorry look in his eyes. He balled his fist and clenched his jaw. The bell rung, ending the awkward silence between each other.

Harry was all the way by the cafeteria door, while I was by my third period class. He took a step forward; to his response I took a step back. Someone’s got to leave first! Without giving a heads up, I turned and walked into my class room pretending that I’m not hurt and didn’t care what I just saw.
******************
The sixth period bell rung and walked out the classroom, single filed. Oh thank god the day was over.

I rubbed my neck as I walked through the hall; watching as all the guys’ race for the soccer field or basketball court. As all the girls’ race to cheerleading or their cars. Or all the nerds race to robotic club or Decca.
I rounded the corner and was blocked by some long,( muscular I might add) arms.
I looked up out of fear.

Jesse Brooks. Uuugghhh what does he want?
“Hey beautiful” he gave me a half smile.

“Hey…” I said less enthusiastically as it sounded in my head. I leaned under his arm and continued my way towards the front entrance. He strides up next to me. “Listen, I’m sorry about what happened at the movie’s….I wasn’t quite the gentlemen”

You got that right! “Oh really? I didn’t even notice”
“Stop lying I know you did…and then it was ruined by Hazza”
I grabbed his arm and stopped him. “What did you just say?”
“Oh that he ruined it?” he said nonchalant.

“No…what name did you call him?”
He smiled giddly “Oh Hazza? Yeah that’s his nickname we gave to him”
What the hell! I gave him that name…I made up that name!
Jesse shook my shoulder “Is something wrong?”

I snapped out of my head and gave him an innocent angelic smile to lighten the mood. “Oh yeah….yeah….come on”

He opened the front door for me and leaned out his arm to gesture for me to go first. I did gratefully and walked down the steps. I could feel eyes wondering on us; I heard soft whispers. They were probably thinking –“What’s her name?” and “Doesn’t she know he’s going to fuck her then leave her?” or “she doesn’t belong with him he’s so hot” also “They’re dating?”

I hurried and finished down the steps to get out of the preying eyes. I followed behind Jesse as he walked to his car. He turned and leaned up against his door and stared at me. He bit his lip and grabbed my side slamming me into his stomach. He stared down into my eyes, searching for something or he was just horny. He grabbed my hand and kissed each knuckle till he got to the end then repeated with the other hand.

*FLACHBACK*

He removed my hand from his chest and brought it up to his mouth. He softly kissed my knuckles one by one. “Can I ask you another question?” I stared off at the sea “Why ask me questions when you don’t answer mine?

I lingered my glance turning back to him. He reached up to caress his fingers against my cheeks. “Can I please ask you one more question?”

*FLASH ENDS*

“Valentina?” Jesse says cautiously.
“Oh what?” I said more attentive now.
“What do you be thinking about in that pretty little head of yours?” he leaned down and kissed me softly on the temple.

I closed my eyes taking in how soft his lips were. I mean Jesse wasn’t all bad. He had pretty brown curly hair and greenish—bluish eyes that you could get lost deep in. His smile was so sweet and American boy like and he dressed really well. His voice would crack sometimes when he speaks too fast and his body was really hard….talk about turn on.

I eased myself back a little out of his arms. I mean we’re not boyfriend and girlfriend so we shouldn’t act like one. “Nothing that would concern you babes”
He looked at me comically “Babes?” he mocked.

I leaned in closer to him “Yeah…babes” I said seductively. I watched him squirm uncomfortably as he dropped his mouth open.

“Oh you’re such a tease Mrs. Styles” he grabbed my arm and pushed me back up against his body, frailly now. Our laugh faded away as we both stared each other in the eye. Even though I have my relationship with Harry….this have been dancing around my head for weeks.

I leaned into his lips, barely grazing his.
“Ummm cough couch” we both ripped our heads towards the thing that interrupted us.
Harry stood right there, barely out of breath. He had on his soccer uniform and was totally mad. Holy shit! He was really mad!

I hurried and scurried out of Jesse’s arms. “Valentina….let’s go”
I crossed my arms “You can’t tell me what to do” he stared at me hard; his pale green eyes turned bright and intensified changing it to a vivid green. He couldn’t believe what I just said.
“Don’t make me tel--….” I raised my hand. “God save your heart an attack I’ll come.”

Harry’s P.O.V
I watched as Valentina walked pass me; bumping into my shoulder. I didn’t care as long as I got her away from that asshole.

I waited till Valentina was out of eye sight and I walked up to Jesse. “Listen here Jess….I know your game and I don’t want that for my little sis okay….I don’t want to see you with her anymore”

He waved his hand in the air nonchalantly. “I think that’s her chose”
Without warning I kneed him in the stomach causing him to let out a shriek of pain. “Ahhh shit!” he bent down grabbing his stomach.

I leaned down into his ear “Stay away….from her” I stood back up and shoved him into the car causing him to unbalance and fall over.
I hurried and ran back towards the field; maybe hoping to get a little convo in with Val before practice.
