Valerie’s POV

-How do I look?

I ask Sandy at her bedroom door. She is scratching some mirror doing some handmade crafts as usual so it takes a few seconds for her to look at me. I wear this oversized gray shirt as a dress and red Converse since Niall has invited me to a barbeque at his place tonight.

-You look great, Val, as always you bitch.

-I love you too, Sandy.

-Be careful!

As I close the door I think about how much I truly love her. She is such a mom and I am such a mom for her too. We take care of each other you could say. I get into Liam’s car as Soph tells me how much she loves my dress. What a lovely girl.

-By the way, I have made a chocolate cake. – Sophia says smiling.

-She is the best baker of all times. – Liam boasts of girlfriend smiling like a fool.

-Great then! Thanks Soph, I’m sure El is going to love it.

So Nialler has had this amazing idea of celebrating a goodbye party for El. She is not going definitely yet but she is leaving in two days to fix some paperwork and everything. I have bought her a present so that she remembers me. Well, really, my present is for Eleanor, Sophia and myself. I bought pyjamas from The Powerpuff girls for the three of us so as to remember when some dudes called us that whilst we were partying in LA downtown. We laughed so hard and adopted that pet name for us since that night on.

We drive to Niall’s making fun of him until we arrive at the place and the blond guy opens the door. We enter into Niall’s apartment which is fairly tidy considering he is 22 years old and lives on his own and I see Harry keeping some beers on Niall’s fridge. He wears a black t-shirt, black jeans and brown boots and looks amazing to me. His lips are parted while he breaths in and out keeping the drinks in the fridge. When he turns around and see Soph and Liam, his eyes look for me on the room. Eventually our eyes meet and Harry’s dimples greet me when he smiles. I inevitably smile back.

He opens his arms for me and I walk towards him smiling. When I reach him I hug him and he hugs me tight. He kisses the top of my head and I smile in our embrace. It’s weird to have this kind of contact with him and I’m sure it looks like we are a couple or something. It’s comfortable for me though and, to be honest, I like it so fuck off what it might seem. I help him keeping the beers on the fridge and ten minutes later we all hide on the garden and Niall heads to open the door for Louis and El.

Eleanor’s face blows when she enters the garden and everyone shouts excited. There are Liam, Sophia, Harry, Louise, Tom, baby Lux, Ellie Goulding, Cara Delevingne, Ed Sheeran, Kendall Jenner and a few girls I don’t know. She hugs and gives everyone a glimpse of her beautiful smile and then she chats with everyone in the room. I sit down next to Louis and we both chat about what he is going to do when El is gone.

-I really don’t know, Valerie. I’m lucky I have you to keep me distracted. – He throws popcorns at me.

-You really are. – I tease. – You guys will manage. You can text and videocall or just call... You’ll be okay.

-I know, I know, but I’m going to miss her.

Louis keeps his eyes fixated on El who is beautiful in that white blouse of her. She is laughing with Cara and Ellie. I can’t help but to feel intimidated. Cara Delevingne is possibly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and she is clearly close to Harry as they have been together for the entire evening. I think she doesn’t like me as I have caught her looking at me a few times already. Maybe she and Harry have something weird going on. I mean she is beautiful and Harry is a man. I feel something burning on the pit of my stomach as I think about that and I involuntarily tense up.

-I’m getting something to drink, Louis. Do you want anything?

-Nope, thank you, Val.

I stand up and head towards the kitchen just so that I don’t have to see how funny Cara is and how much everyone around her, including Harry, is laughing. I open the fridge trying to forget how absolutely beautiful Cara’s eyes are and how Harry would look at them whilst they were both talking sitting in front of one another in Niall’s garden. Seriously, they have been talking for two hours already. Isn’t that enough time to catch up? I feel some crisps being thrown at my head while I take my radler out of the fridge.

-What the hell? – I search for the crisps thrower amused.

-I’m sorry; too easy to let it go. – Niall laughs.

-Do you want a beer, you idiot? – I ask him laughing.

-Sure.

We both get out to the garden and sit down at the edge of the swimming pool, our feet on the water. We chat about ourselves getting to know each other a bit more and we laugh and have quality time together. He told me his left arm hurts sometimes since it got broken when he was a kid and I show him the massage my mom used to give me when I was a kid. I end up massaging his arm and we both feel Harry’s eyes fixated on us.

-So... Harry and you... what do you guys have? – Niall asks out of nowhere.

-I don’t know. We are only getting to know each other, I guess. – I smile.

-I think he likes you. I mean who doesn’t? You’re Valerie Veneel. – He chuckles.

-Yeah, right. – I have to roll my eyes. – You guys could have pretty much any girl in the world. I’m sure lots of your fans are way prettier than me and for god’s sake you are friends with Victoria Secret’s angels! – Fucking perfect Cara Delevingne, for instance.

-So? As I’ve said, you are Valerie Veneel. – Niall shakes his head as if I didn’t understand who I am. This is just weird.

I stare at Harry who happens to be hugging Cara and chuckling. I feel how my body gets warmer and I’m afraid I’m blushing from jealousy. How crazy is this? He is not even my boyfriend. I take a deep breath and look at Niall, finding an amused smile on his lips.

-What?

-They are just friends.

-I don’t know what you are talking about. – I set my gaze away from him.

-They are just friends though.

I hold his gaze for a few seconds trying to read him. Alright, he has noticed. I consider trying to hide my stupid jealousy until I hear Cara calling “Hazz” and I think it’s probably good for me to tell someone.

-Cara Delevingne is beautiful.

-She is. She is also our friend. – Niall’s smile is huge.

-Is this funny to you?

-What? Seeing you jealous because of Cara? – I smile at his teasing. – Sort of. – He chuckles.

I push him so that he falls on his back at the edge of the pool and splash water at him.

-Don’t start a game you can’t finish, Veneel.

I keep on splashing water at him smiling while he pretends to be mad though I know I’ve gotten into trouble whenever Niall uses my last name. Then he stands up from the edge of the pool and picks me up from the ground. I scream and hug him tight when I realize he is going to throw me to the pool but he manages to let me fall into the water. My wet face reappears on the surface and I hear people’s laughter.

-Fuck you, Niall! I don’t have any other clothes. I’m gonna be cold! – I can’t help laughing.

-I’ll bring you a towel. – Niall disappears laughing.

I take advantage of the fact that I’m on the pool to rest floating on my back and swim a little bit. The water feels cool and relaxing on my drunken jealous body. I dive feeling how my wet dress sticks to my belly and let the water runs around my bare legs and arms. I have always loved diving as it is the closer anyone can possibly get to fly.

At some point Eleanor approaches the edge and we both laugh as I told her how fucking Niall has thrown me into the water. Eventually, Cara and Ellie end up sitting on the edge of the pool with El and the four of us chat about nonsense drinking some more beers until I get cold.

Wrapped on Niall’s towel I approach Harry as I am drunk enough to swallow both my pride and my jealousy. I walk towards him as he talks to Louise and I rest my forehead on his chest unable to hug him as I would like since my arms are wrapped with the towel. He doesn’t hug me though so I look at him with puppy eyes.

-Hey. – He looks annoyed.

-Is everything alright?

-Sure. – He shrugs. He is annoyed.

-Okay. I was craving to talk to you too, Harry.

Now I’m annoyed as I get away from him. He doesn’t even try to make me stay and talk to me but just easily let me go. I sit down on a hammock drying my hair with the towel as Eleanor sits down next to me.

-Are you okay? – She asks sweetly.

-Sure. This is your party, El, go have fun! – I yell joking almost pushing her away and she laughs.

I stand up and get inside to grab another beer from the fridge. I think this is like my number two hundread beer for tonight. Sophia is talking to Ellie at the kitchen making sure the cake is okay and I really feel the alcohol as I get dizzy when the intensity of the light changes from the garden to the kitchen. I sit down on the counter once I’ve opened my beer and stare at the girls.

-Are you drunk? – Sophia asks me laughing and I laugh along.

-She is. – Ellie chuckles.

-Of course I am. Harry has been completely ignoring me all evening long and now he seems to be mad at me. Does anybody understand that? – I have a sip from my beer.

-He has been stalking you all evening long. Are you two together then? – Ellie asks.

-We were getting to know each other and having fun but I think he is interested in Cara and I obviously cannot compete with her. – I humourlessly chuckle.

-What are you talking about? – Sophia and Ellie both laugh.

I look at them confused but before I can ask them what they mean they go outside with plastic plates and some bread. Niall and Liam are cooking the meat and veggies at the barbeque. I have some time to think while I’m alone at the kitchen. I bend my legs and stay sitting down on the counter considering the possible reasons why Harry could be mad at me.

There is no reason apparently, unless he is annoyed at me because Cara is annoyed at him because we have kissed a few times which would mean he has something with Cara which sucks. I am having another sip from my beer when Harold gets into the kitchen.

-What are you doing here alone? – He asks me sourly.

-Now you care? – Why am I feeling hurt? Weird.

-Oh, I see, Niall is busy. – What? – Maybe he wants to spend some more time flirting with you later. – Is he jealous of Niall?

-Maybe.

We look into each other’s eyes for a few seconds and then he shakes his head and opens the fridge. I have to recognize I stare at his butt when he bends down to get a beer.

-You know? I don’t think I deserve that you are this rude to me. I’m sorry I ruined whatever you had with Cara but I didn’t know.

-What the hell are you talking about? – Harry looks at me like I was crazy.

-Come on! You have been ignoring me all evening long but you were too busy talking to Cara to even notice.

I am now mad as a little kid, folding my arms in front of my chest and frowning. For some reason Harry smiles.

-I can’t believe... Why wouldn’t you come to talk to me?

-Well, you seemed to be having way more fun with Cara.

For some reason, his smile amuses me. Now I’m trying to hide a smirk still folding my arms in front of my chest and looking at him from the corner of my eye.

-I can’t believe you are that silly. – He chuckles.

He looks at me smirking until I chuckle too and then he places both of our beers on the other side of the counter and brings me closer to him placing his hands on my butt and sliding me on the counter until my knees are touching his hips. Then he smiles shaking his head and pecks my lips. I instantly surround his neck with my arms and prolong our kiss as he splits my legs apart so that our groins touch. His cold tongue traces my bottom lip and I smile in our kiss, happy that I eventually get what I’ve been craving all night. I open my mouth for him to introduce his sweet tongue and when he does I feel like eating him entirely. I deepen our kiss and we kiss long and passionate against the counter. When he is running out of breath, I slow down our kiss and caress the walls of his mouth with my tongue slowly. He moans in our kiss and I place my body even closer to his until I feel his arousal against my entrance. He growls at our contact.

-Valerie, – Harry pulls out from our kiss and I kiss his jaw line – they can see us from the garden. – He breaths heavily and it’s genuinely turning me on.

Now I’m drunk and horny so I search for his lips and kiss him wetly moaning in our kiss. He plays along, kissing me watery at first too but then he pulls out again.

-Val, Val, we need to stop.

I kiss his jaw line and make out with his neck and he grabs my butt turning me on even more. As I kiss and suck his neck, his scent fills my nose. His natural aroma drives me mad as my lips touch the softness of the skin on his neck. I already know I’m probably wetting myself but I don’t care, I’ve been craving him all evening long.

-Valerie – Harry moaning my name blows my mind – please, Val, you’re giving me a boner.

I feel how hard he really is against my belly and get off of the counter.

-Fuck. – He looks at his prominent erection.

I caress his cheek and make him look at me and then I kiss him slowly once again. When he digs his nails on my waist I smile in our kiss amused by his eagerness. He kisses me feverishly and I pull out and hold his hand, heading upstairs.

-Valerie, Val, where are we going?

I smile while I lead him upstairs. I’m drunk as hell but I’m still aware of what I’m doing. I have given him that boner and I am fixing it.

I open the bathroom door and push him inside, locking the door after us. As soon as I turn around, Harry pushes me against the door and kisses me hard and eager, both our breaths getting faster and rushed. When I caress his arousal through the fabric of his black jeans he growls in my mouth and I smile at the effect I luckily have on him. I unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans and caress his boner through the fabric of his underpants and he parts his lips. I bite his bottom lip unable of getting enough of his taste.

-Valerie. – He whispers moaning in my ear.

Harry’s POV

-Valerie, don’t give up! You’re representing all the women now! – A drunken Sophia yells out.

-Yeah because you lazy ladies gave up already.

-We are lucky we have you! – Cara shouts pretending to be a cheerleader.

-Niall right hand yellow. – Ed says.

Valerie is pretty much doing a backbend. She has been holding that position for a few rounds, changing her hands from colour. You can definitely tell she is a yogi.

-Valerie – Ed laughs – left foot green.

That means Val needs to cross her foot and pass over Louis. Niall chuckles and Louis is too busy trying to maintain his position to check it out but Valerie, as competitive as she is, tries to make it.

-For god’s sake, I can’t believe you make it. – Niall splits out frustrated.

-You are tiresome, my friend. – Louis shakes his head.

-Then lose you two, fuck. – Valerie’s voice is struggling to be heard.

Louis ends up laughing and falling down and Valerie’s smile greets us. She is not looking at me obviously as she is focused on the game but I haven’t been able to take my eyes off of her since she took me to the bathroom. What a girl.

I really thought I was dying. I mean it sort of felt like she had been trying to drive me mad all evening long. In fact, I lost all ability of reasoning when her wet body came out of the swimming pool.

I have to recognize I was annoyed as hell by that time though. It’s embarrassing how jealous of Niall I felt. Valerie would ignore me all evening long and instead, she would massage Niall’s arm. Even a blind man could have seen that Niall was sort of flirting with her. Of course he knows she is mine but I guess it’s inevitable to be attracted by her.

Anyway I was so jealous I didn’t even hug her when she came to me to hug her wrapped with fucking Niall’s towel. How stupid of me, but then I found her with the wet dress which would stick to her flawless fit belly alone sitting down on the counter.

The wet dress would stick to every single inch of her skin from the upper part of her thighs to her shoulders, letting you figure out perfectly her silhouette. Her chest would go up and down with every breath taken and the thin fabric of the dress, combined with the first unbuttoned buttons of the necklace, would let you see her lace gray bra and her perfect breasts. I could even feel the droplets that were decorating her skin on my mouth while I stared at her chest full of the water droplets which fell from her wet hair. Her red lips were also playing with the neck of her bottle of beer.

And then she was jealous. I was so happy to hear she was jealous it’s embarrassing. I don’t even know why I’d be that happy when I’ve always hated jealousy. Not from her, I guess. I couldn’t get enough of her when we were kissing. I really couldn’t and my body temperature couldn’t stop going up and up. I swear I just wanted to take her right there. I don’t even know why I’d be that horny and luckily I didn’t.

I want to show her I respect her because I do. I can wait even if she is the hottest woman I’ve ever seen. I would have melted there though even if she was cold and wet if she wouldn’t have given me that crazily exciting hand job in the bathroom. I get excited only by thinking about it. Jesus Christ, Valerie Veneel drives me crazy.

-Oh, fuck you, Niall! Fall down, geez! – Valerie’s cursing brings me back to reality.

-Niall left foot blue.

-Yes! Yes! I’ve won. – Valerie celebrates.

Indeed, Niall falls down when he tries to place his foot on a free blue spot and Valerie laughs hard laying her back on the Twister mat.

-Oh my god, can anybody pick me up?

Of course I will. She smiles widely at me and stands up, surrounding my neck with her arms and smiling looking at my lips.

- I won. - She tells me and I nod knowingly. - Kiss me.

God, how can she be this beautiful tonight? Her white smile disappears as soon as I press my lips against hers and we make out for a couple of minutes while our friends pick everything up.

We are now all sitting on the grass chatting and it’s three in the morning when drunken Valerie decides to go to bed. Everyone follows suit as we were just waiting for the first one to say it. She stands up next to me, her legs right next to my face and yawns stretching and I look at her bare legs inches away from my face. Then I can’t help staring at her perfect butt in those shorts from Powerpuff girls. She catches me and I have to chuckle from embarrassment.

-Oh my God, I think... – Valerie’s talking is slow and confusing from the excess alcohol she had tonight – I think... I’m most likely NOT – she emphasises – going to be able to get upstairs WITHOUT falling at least once so... please you guys be...patient and...

I don’t even let her finish her sentence as I pick her up and lead her upstairs and she laughs and hugs me so as to not fall. I’m not even drunk anymore and she makes me laugh. She looks so sweet now she almost looks innocent but she and I know about the distorted scene in the bathroom.

When we get to the room, I lay her on a bed and go to the bathroom to take off my clothes and put on some sweat shorts to sleep. When I get back from the bathroom, Niall is lying down on a bed as well as Cara and Liam and Soph are lying together on one of the beds. Although the idea of lying next to Valerie, who seems to be already asleep, is tempting, we have been hooking up for a couple of weeks only and I don’t think that is appropriate. As I lay down on a free mattress, I hear Niall snorting.

-Harry? – Valerie’s whisper makes me smile.

-Yes?

-Why don’t you want to sleep with me? – Valerie sounds self-conscious even.

My smile only grows wider. I can already imagine myself sleeping with hot Valerie Veneel, her perfect body right next to mine.

-Of course I want to. I thought maybe you didn’t.

-Come here. – She orders.

I get to her bed but she is not even there so I chuckle when I don’t find her.

-Val? – I search for her in the dark trying to repress my laughter.

-Yeah? I’m at the door, honey. – She giggles.

Honey? Jesus, Valerie is so drunk it’s funny. I don’t even know how she has managed to get up from bed and walk to the door without falling down or hitting someone, neither do I know where she thinks she is going at half past three in the morning at Niall’s house but this must be funny.

Her drunken laughter leads me to Nialler’s studio and I find her silhouette defined against the moonlight which finds its way inside the room by the huge window. Valerie is sternly staring at the white piano. The summer breeze messes her hair until she tucks some honey strands behind her ear and I get to see her swallowing by the movement of her neck as the silver moonlight caresses her skin. Through the window, the moonlight, as light arms, fights with the branches of the tree to touch Valerie’s body.

-I used to play the piano.

She seems serious now and I have to remind myself that she is drunk. She is a great actress, that’s for certain.

-I know. You told me. – I remind her getting closer to her. – When was the last time you played?

-Like playing playing for real.... I'd say... eight years ago? I don’t know as soon as... you know my dad is a fucking bastard. He loved me playing the piano and so I quitted as my innocent way of punishing him. – Valerie chuckles.

-I actually did not know your father was a...

-You wanted to listen to my piano skills, right? – She turns around and looks at me. – Close the door. I can promise nothing though. I don’t even know if I remember how to play. – She chuckles again.

I close the door but don’t turn on the light as the piano is perfectly illuminated by the moonlight and I rather have it that way. I like drunken Valerie. She would open up to me. At least I know she doesn’t like her dad although I still don’t know why. I know I won’t ask anything else about it and that I won’t know anything more unless she tells me which I doubt.

Valerie sits down on the piano stool and picks her hair up in a ponytail. Then she caresses the piano keyboards and cracks her fingers as a professional.

-Alright, I hope you like French impressionism. – She smiles sweetly at me.

Then she takes a deep breath and makes herself comfortable at the piano stool. Claire de lune by Debussy starts to fill the room. I look at her while she plays the piano. She moves her head as the notes get out of the instrument and I just stare at her, amazed. She is brilliant. But, unquestionable artistic skills apart, she is sexy as hell right now.

Her hands would move from one side to the other on the keyboard while her head dances along and her lips are parted, her warm breath coming out of them. She doubts a bit once or twice and makes a few mistakes while she performs and that makes her smile timidly, but there is no way you would say she has been eight years without playing the piano. At the end of the day, she is hammered. As she finishes, she places her hands on the top of her thighs and looks at me smiling sheepishly.

-It has been a long time and I might be a little drunk so it wasn’t that awful I suppose. – She excuses herself letting her hair falls down her back freeing it from the ponytail.

-I think it was brilliant and you are... – I stare at her lips as I feel my body warm up – beautiful.

She stands up from the stool and gets closer to me. I’m half sitting on the desk next to the wall. She hoops on top of me, her sex right on top of mine and caresses my back looking into my eyes smiling. She then caresses my lips with her fingerprints and I feel her breath against my face. She has brushed her teeth but you can still smell the alcohol so I end up smelling some sort of mint liquor. I crush my lips against hers when I can’t hold it anymore and she kisses me back passionately. I devour her mouth unable to get enough of her as I caress her whole body with hungry hands. I can’t help grabbing her butt when she adjusts herself on top of me.

Valerie starts caresses my bare chest and I bite her bottom lip. Then I grab her chin and lift her head to have full access to her flawless neck which is driving me mad. I kiss every single inch of her skin, sucking on particular places and she moans sexily. As I suck on the left side of her neck she readjusts herself on top of me so that there is not an inch between our groins and I have to moan. So many thoughts cross my mind when her flashing breath hits my ear.

One part of me can’t wait to have sex with Valerie. I mean if you would have told me four months ago that I was going to be having sex with Valerie Veneel now I would have laughed but here I am and it’s about to happen. She is seriously the hottest girl I have ever met and apparently she is willing to have sex with me too. However, other part of me knows she is not completely aware of what she is doing. She is drunk as hell and I want to respect her and to slow things down just a little bit. I like this girl, I want to do things right with her.

I take strength out of nowhere and pull out from our kiss, placing Valerie on the ground and standing up. When I turn around she is staring at me with a confused expression. Her frown makes her look even prettier and her red lips are forming a little pout. I want to take off all the lipstick from her lips but then again I remember my resolution.

-What’s wrong?

Valerie asks and I can’t help looking at her lips and her breasts as her chest goes up and down as she tries to catch her breath. I know if I don’t get away from her, I’m screwing up my resolution.

-There’s nothing wrong. – I decide it’s safer to look through the window. – I’m just... It’s late and... I think we should probably get back to sleep.

-What? – She exhales clearly surprised at my rejection and smirks confused.

-Yeah – Why am I feeling this nervous? – I’m using the toilet. I’ll see you at the room.

When I recompose myself a little bit at the bathroom with cold water down my face and neck, I come back to the room only to find Valerie lying on her bed giving me her back. She might be mad at me so I don’t know if it’s a good idea to lie down next to her but then again if I don’t lie next to her, she might get offended too. Oh man, why would everything be this complicated?

Eventually I lie next to Valerie on her mattress but she doesn’t even turn around. The windows are all open and it’s sort of cold in here to be honest. Cara is sleeping with her mouth open as usual completely unsexy which makes me smile since she is one of the hottest women of all times and it’s impossible to tell at the moment. My eyes are looking straight to the ceiling when Valerie turns to face me. She is trembling.

-You’re quivering. Are you cold? – I whisper still looking at the ceiling.

-You told me you thought I was attractive the first day we met.

-I think you are absolutely beautiful, Val.

I look at her not knowing what the hell is going through her mind right now. She smiles and closes her eyes, adjusting her head on the pillow.

-Why would you remind me that?

-You just rejected me, Harry. That’s why.

Alright, she thinks I don’t want to have sex with her. She must be out of her mind.

-Valerie, listen – She looks at me with a serious expression – this last weeks with you have been incredible and I don’t want to screw everything up because you are drunk. I don’t want this to happen this way, Val, I want you to be completely aware of what you are doing when we have sex.

I peck her lips and she half smiles.

-But you do want to have sex with me, don’t you? – She asks timidly.

-Are you okay? Of course I want to have sex with you.

This time it’s she who pecks my lips and we end up kissing sweetly on this mattress until she pulls out and falls asleep next to me on the bed. She wouldn't hug me though and, for some reason, I didn’t feel like I should hug her either so we fall asleep lying next to one another. I just never know what to do with this girl and I'm afraid I'm going to screw everything up as usual, but this unintetionally.
