*1 Month Later*

Harry's POV

I slipped the key into the doorknob and unlocked the door. I pushed it open, and stepped inside. The smell of freshly made food wafted through the air.

She must've heard the door shut, cause the music playing stopped, and footsteps could be heard walking down the hallway.

"Alice." I stated.

"Harry." She replied and waved her finger for me to follow her.

We walked through her hallways and into the kitchen where I saw the oven on and water boiling. She hopped up and sat on the countertop, and I sat in the island across from her. We were probably a mere three feet away from each other.

"We need to talk." We said in unison. She smiled, and looked at the ground.

"Ladies first." I said. She looked, startled, like I pulled her from a thought.

"We need to stop." She said, looking right into my eyes. Nervousness filled her eyes, as she waited for my reaction.

"I know. It's not fair to her." I smiled. She looked at me confused. I guess I revealed to much...oops?

"Your girlfriend?" She asked shocked. I nodded my head, and pushed the loose curls away. A smart one she is. "Jessica?!" She said half full of excitement and regret.

"Kendall." I clarified. "Why would you think Jessica?"

"I don't know....just a hunch I guess." She shrugged. "Please tell me you just got back together!"

"Uhh..not exactly." I whispered. "Half a month ago."

"Harry! You're a cheater! I'm a cheater!" She yelled. "Holy shit! I never intended on this! What the hell!"

Alice continued to yell and scream about this whole thing. She said everything she could think of except for one thing- she regret it. Thank god she didn't...is it weird that I didn't either? I have no guilt about cheating on Kendall with Alice. The old Harry would..why am I not?

And then there's Jessica. She refuses to go near me. One time I walked in on Jessica and Alice talking and she locked herself in the bedroom till I left. I must've really scared her-if only she knew I didn't mean too.

Alice would cut me off whenever I tried to calm her down with another rant. Shit, this is bad. She looks and sounds upset..which I never meant. So. I did the only thing I could think of.

I stood up and stepped between her two legs on the counter, and leaned in pressing my lips to hers. I felt her wrap her arms around my neck..and that's it. She wasn't trying anything else...nothing. I placed my hands on her waist. The same spark we shared was still there, and strong. It wasn't a spark full of love or feelings or attraction. Yes, we both found each other attractive, but it was only full of lust and excitement and anticipation. Nothing I felt with Kendall or Jessica.

Kendall gave me nothing except slightly chapped lips and a mouth full of lipstick. She was to sloppy and rough for me...and to....forceful. I mean, come on, who wants a girl literally throwing herself at you every time you kiss?

Jessica...how to describe it? I did feel a small spark-not as big as Alice's-but it was enough. It was the opposite of Alice's though. It was filled with compassion and sweetness against her soft lips that I've never experienced before. It was bullshit though...right? I don't need love...I need a girlfriend for a good hit up...or a 'friend'. Jessica felt like she would be neither of those..no hook ups or dumping...shit. Forget it Harry, forget it.

I smiled into our kiss, at the thoughts running a mile a minute. My hands slide to the top of her thighs, and she pulled away. "We can't. Not anymore." Alice whispered, panting. I nodded and removed my hands and lifted her off the counter and pulled her into a hug.

"You're not a cheater. Neither of us are." I whispered into her ear. "Why do you want to stop anyway?" I pulled away. "Don't you like this?" I asked smirking.

She rolled her eyes and turned off the stove. "In your dreams."

"Why dream when it already happened, over, and over, over-"

"Stop." She said through gritted teeth. "Actually I have a date tonight."

"Oh do you. Does his name start with a N and last name start with a H?" I asked and sat on the counter to face her. She smiled and looked at her hands as she wiped off the counter.

"Nope." She said happily. "Her name is Jessica."

"Oh what about your little lover boy then?" I asked and snatched the rag from her. She groaned and tried to reach for it. I held it on the opposite side of me, making her reach to get it. Her breath fanned over my face as she was only a few inches away from my face....and lips. She looked me in the eye and smirked as she watched my eyes travel down to her lips and up.

Without thinking, I leaned in and placed my lips onto hers. "Harry give me the goddamn thing!" She exclaimed and instantly pulled away.

I handed it her, and she turned to get something. I buried my face in my hands and sighed. What is happening to me?

"I think you should talk to him." I said. She turned around and looked at me.

"I-I can't."

"Why?" I asked, confusion flooding over me. I know she likes him...and she's not that shy...so why hold back?

"I can't knowing what we did." She said and looked into the oven, and quickly shut it. "It happened for a fucking month! Even when I went out with him! You remember what we did right after he dropped me off?! I can't even look at him without being reminded of that!"

"Don't think of it that way! It was my fault! Please don't let me get in the way of who you like." I pleaded. "He really like you! Just try again!"

"Harry. I'll think about it...but right now I can't without feeling guilt. You don't get it! You're not a girl! It's different!" She said, eventually turning into a yell. I knew this was affecting her...it was effecting both of us.

"Just-" I was cut off by the doorbell ringing. Both our heads shot that direction as the door opened and closed. "Take his number and try it." I whispered. The footsteps neared, and I handed my phone to her.

"Alice!" I heard Jessica's light voice call. I tried to hold back a smile at her voice, and stood still, unable to move.

"Fine. Shit. Hide!" She whispered and grabbed my phone, pushing me into the nearest closet. It was full of cake icing, meat flavoring, and aprons. Fuck. This isn't going to work. I peered through the cracks in the door, and watched Jessica leaning in to hug Alice. Alice saw me through the crack and gave me a sign to sush.

"Do you smell that?" Jessica asked and looked around. Alice glanced at me and smirked before turning back to her.

"Smell what?" She responded and took Jessica's coat and threw it into the closet, and shut it in a second. Her jacket landed over my head, and her scent filled my nose. I lightly moaned as it reminded me of her.

"This will probably sound weird... no it will, but I kinda smell..." She trailed off and looked around sitting in a chair...where I left my jacket hanging on..well shit. So close. "Like Harry."

"Really? No it doesn't... What? How do you even remember how he smells?" Alice stuttered. Jessica leaned forward and smiled, closing her eyes for a second then opening them.

"He smells like mint and cologne with a hint of hair gel and Chapstick." Jessica said dreamily. I was shocked... I have no words.

"Okay then...umm no Harry here! Just us...girls." Alice quickly said. "Why would Harry be here anyway? God Jess, you imagining things?!"
