Valerie’s POV

-Damn it, I thought the show will never end. – I whisper to Harry who I have found out to be a nice guy. He laughs and looks down to his feet.

I go next to Louis to keep on talking to him as we have done in all the commercial breaks and I ask him what he is doing next. Apparently he is hanging out with the lads and he invites me politely. I have had a few drinks already which makes me consider Louis' proposal but I don’t want to bother so I rather hang out with the ladies or with James who has vanished apparently.

-Thank you, Tommo but I don’t wanna bother you guys if you had plans then just go have fun.

-Oh, don’t give me that Val. I want you to come and I’m sure the lads want that too, especially Harry and Niall who happen to be single and to think they have their chance with you. – He laughs hard and I laugh along.

-Do you think they don’t? They are hot and they have a nice accent.

-Then come with us.

-Alright. - I laugh.

We were driven to this club where the guys are hanging out tonight and Harry got me a drink. He happens to be quite polite actually. After I danced a few songs with Niall who is funny as hell, I am lying in the couches that we get here in the VIP area. Louis is talking to some blonde who seems to like him and Liam is too drunk to talk right now. Niall keeps on dancing and Harry is coming over the couch to take a seat, I suppose. He sits down next to me and offers me another glass of white rum. Only then I notice he himself is a bit tipsy.

-How are you doing, Valerie? I saw you dancing with Niall. Just so you know, everyone around you guys was looking at you.

-Yeah, right. – I laugh and he smiles at me.

Even though he is drunk damn is he sexy. I think he is the most handsome guy I’ve ever seen and he is polite and well-grounded which makes him way more attractive. I am drunk as hell but tonight I feel kind of disappointed. By this time of the night, some dude is trying to flirt with me but tonight I’m sort of invisible here. I guess there are too many beautiful girls.

-I am serious, Valerie. – He keeps on smiling at me and now I can even see his dimples. – I am sure every dude in this club would leave right now with you if you ask him to do so.
-Are you really? – I ask him before I drink a bit of the white rum Harry has given me and he nods at me looking at my mouth.

We stay quiet looking into each other’s eyes for a few seconds after I give him a frown.

-Dance with me. – He says and stands up offering me his hand.

I throw my head back laughing and take his hand as he widens his smile. He then leads me to the dance floor and stays still with a childish grin putting me in front of him and gesturing me to dance with his head. I laugh but do and start to dance Fireball by Pitbull in front of him looking at him smiling. When I low slowly, he widens his smile and while I stretch my legs out lifting my butt, he bites his low lip. Then I take his hand and turn around so that my back is right in front his chest and I get him to dance with me but the song is almost done. Once the song is finished, he pulls me into a hug laughing and then Adios by Ricky Martin sounds.

-We have to dance this one! Please, stay! – I grin at him with raised brows for him to say yes and he laughs and shrugs.

We both dance the song and I start to sing for him in Spanish but unfortunately it is the English version. I pout and he laughs but pulls me in for another hug to comfort me.

-You can sing in Spanish to me if you want. It’s a shame that the song is in English.

-It is a shame because Spanish is such a great language.

-I agree. – He smiles widely at me and I give him a kiss on the cheek because I’m a drunken idiot. He keeps on dancing ignoring the kiss and for some reason that pisses me off.

Harry’s POV

Valeria Veneel has just given me a kiss on the cheek and I have done nothing about it. I could have turned my face and kissed her on the lips, which is what I’ve been fantasising about since I saw her dancing with Niall. If she speaks Spanish to me now then I’m most likely going undone.

-Adiós, te tengo que decir adiós. Me estoy volviendo loco, loco, loco, loco, loco por tu amor. – She sings in my ear.

I understand a bit of it but what helps me is that the song is actually translated to English so I can tell what she is singing. Damn it she is hot. If I feel her but on my thigh one more time I will die right here. She turns around so that now she is facing me and puts her hands on my shoulders. I would like to stop all the clocks now.

We keep on dancing a few more songs and I think about kissing her a few times until she sees Enrique Iglesias on the dance floor and excuses herself to go say hello. They hug each other tight and for some reason I feel jealous. I have hugged her tonight a few times, but she doesn’t get that happy when she sees me. Then I realize I’ve known her hours ago and laugh at myself. I have probably drunk too much.

A good twenty minutes later, Valerie rejoins our group and she hugs Louis as if they were great friends. She then looks at me smiling and I realize how drunk she is when she almost fall asleep right there.

-Hey, guys. I think I’m going home and I’m taking Valerie to her place because...she really needs to go.

They all look at Valerie who is completely drunk dancing as bad as possible and laugh. She grabs my hand while we walk through the dance floor and for some reason it feels good. We get to the car and I help her get inside. As we are heading towards her place, she leans her head at my shoulder and although I tense at first, I have to admit it feels good.

-Can I put on some music with my cell phone? – She asks with a new and too sexy Spanish accent that she didn’t have earlier.

-Sure, Spaniard.

-Fuck, I’m putting the accent, right? Shit, I always do it when I’m drunk.

-Why do you curse? I think your accent is nice and... sexy.

She raises an eyebrow and makes me laugh and then she searches in her cell phone for music. I wonder what type of music she listens and I wonder if she listens to us. Surprisingly, she plays all indie songs all the way to her place and I’m gladly surprised that she likes that kind of music.

“If you won't be returning don't say goodbye. // Turn your back on the ocean and follow the sun through the sky.”

While we listen to Lord Huron, she takes my hand and starts to play with my fingers. I don’t know her but I can tell there is something going on her mind. Why is this girl so intriguing? While I listen to the song, I realise I also want to know when I will see her again and that I actually want that to happen as soon as possible.

-Harry, may I ask you something? – She says looking at me.

-Sure. – I have to laugh at her seriousness.

-Do you think I’m attractive?

That catches me off guard. Why would she ask me that? I thought she was so confident and now she asks me if I think she is attractive?

-Sure. I mean I’m not blind. You were the prettiest girl in the party.

For some reason I feel like letting her know how beautiful she is because I don’t want her to think otherwise. Plus, I don’t know why but I can tell she is not saying this just so that I tell her she is beautiful, she truly doesn’t know she is. I see her to some extent vulnerable here and hug her again. I guess I’m in a hugging mood tonight.

-Alright. I’m drunk and hopefully you are too so tomorrow we will barely remember this conversation. - She looks sternly at me. - If you think so, why didn’t you kiss me before? I made it so easy for you to kiss me.

I can’t help but to raise my eyebrows and feel like a complete idiot. I could have kissed Valerie Veneel tonight and I didn’t. What the hell is wrong with me?

-I didn’t know you wanted me to kiss you. – I tell her sincerely and she smiles.

-No problem. – She then turns to look through the window. – Excuse me, Sir, it’s here. You can drop me off here. I want to walk a bit so that I get some fresh air. – The driver nods and she turns at me. – Thank you for taking me...

-Let me walk you home. – I interrupt her and she nods smiling.

We walk in silence until we reach the door and she says goodbye and kisses me on the cheek before getting inside and disappearing from my view. I think I should have kissed her tonight but, for some reason, I feel like maybe the fact I didn’t was good. I know I’m so lucky Louis works with her now because that means I am seeing her again. I’ll make sure I have another chance to kiss her.
