Melanie's Pov

It was a really fun today , we went to the zoo, Harry showed me around two nice parks so I admired the beautiful places, I didn't expect this trip to be this fun at all, I really didn't expect Harry to be this nice with me and he never tried to be...horny...sexually intimated with me whatever. I thought he might be sleeping with some sexy american horny ladies but this time he managed to surprise me one more time. It was now 7:30 pm in Vegas, the colorful bright lights was on giving kife to the city. It was amazing, like in movies.

"So where are we going next?"I asked Harry as we came out of a Louis Vuitton showroom, I didnt buy anything but my eyes enjoyed looking around, Harry bought many shirts and a belt there so he was had many bags in his hands.

"Follow me"Harry said walking somewhere and I followed behind him. Even if we were soooo not a couple, I liked how he kept things a surprise from me, it always turned out to be great.

Harry stopped near a port, but not the side of the port that busy, lot of crowd, it was in a quiet side of the port so we were the only ones. Ok what was he thinking now?

"Harry?"I asked and he chuckled seeing my face, he noticed my nervousness.

"Don't worry Im not raping you, I ll never do that. I just thought having dinner in a nice plan with a nice view"Harry said and I raised my eyebrow at him. Nice view? There was nothing here, very few lights on this side of the port.

"Nice view? Its almost pitch dark here"I said and he shushed me keeping his finger on my lips making me look at him,

"Don't speak too fast darling, just hold me"He said taking my hand in his and now I didnt expect him to climb on a boat, a nice one not too big but not tiny at all. What?

"This is yours?"I asked him and he nodded nicely smiling holding me tighter as I climbed on the bed. My stomach was bursting with butterflies everytime he laid his hands on me, non sexual way but still the feeling was the same.

"Yup now hold on tight miss"He said as he started driving the boat really fast so I spontaneously wrapped my arms around his waist for support but still the shivers in my body was too much to handle.

"Here we are, look at the sky"Harry said as he stopped the boat kind of in the middle of nowhere in the sea where it was only the two of us, I looked up in the sky and parted my lips amazed how starry it was, so many stars shining, as much as Harry's green eyes.

"Wow!"Was all that came out of my mouth admiring the view but I looked away once I heard the sound of things shuffling, opening and closing. Harry showed me a big basket where some good smell was coming out. Food.

"You hungry?"Harry asked me and I nodded sitting closer to him. Harry and I were eating a nice grilled chicken, he said he bought it earlier today. Good thing he also got water too.

"I still cant believe you don't have a girlfriend"I said and he smiled chewing a piece of chicken. He s so cute.

"Why is that?"He asked me.

"Well you re taking me your assistant for a dinner in a boat under a beautiful starry night like this, imagine if it was your girlfriend, she d be so happy, it would be a romantic date. Just saying."I said and he nodded looking at me for a long time which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"You re the girliest little thing ever. I like it. I dont have to have a girlfriend to take her to a nice place, I can take whoever I want, whoever I like spending time with and you...Melanie I really like you"Harry said nicely and I smiled widely at him. He likes me? nah like a friend, boss and friend.

"Hmm thanks?"I said shyly continuing to eat and we kept talking for I didnt know how many hours we were laughing at his hilarious and dry jokes for long. As the time passed , Harry and I were both lying on the seat next to each other looking at the sky imagining what the stars looked like.

"How come you don't have a boyfriend?"It was Harry's turn to ask me that question, I chuckled at the thought.

"Would you kill me if I say I didnt feel any spark or magic towards any guy I ve known in my life? "I asked shyly and now Harry playfully facepalmed himself as if he was ashamed of me. What? Cant handle a girly girl?

"Oh my god Melanie grow up princess."Harry said and I laughed seeing his face.

"Well thats my fantasy, I ll wait for my prince charming"I said childishly and he rolled his eyes groaning a little.

"Well keep waiting because noone is perfect"Harry said and it was my turn to roll my eyes.

"But there will be someone perfect for me"I said and he sighed.

"See? This is why you better not fall in love with someone, you re in love with the idea of love, an idea that isnt real. You're gonna hurt really bad when you find out the truth . I was like you Mel, now only my company is the one thing I could ever love"Harry said and I just stared at him blank not knowing what to say, I really wanted to know what terrible event happened to him to make him hate love and not being able to love, not believing in love. Maybe Niall was right, Harry was damaged , on the inside really deep,

wish I could help him but only if he could open up to me.

why do you care? None of your business Melanie!

"There will be at least one person who will truly love you Harry, maybe you didnt find her yet. Just have to wait"I said softly holding his hand that was close to my waist but not touching it as we were lying next to each other.

"I dont know Mel, I don't know what to believe anymore"He said. Yep it was confirmed, Harry Styles was damaged and needed to change but the question was How?

"Whatever is troubling you, you dont have to tell me but just dont think about it, keep doing something to distract your thoughts from it. Please dont ever use sex to solve your problems it only makes it worst"I said nicely and he nodded softly.

"Im really glad I met you Melanie, you re the sweetest girl ever"Harry said his beautiful green eyes locked on mine shining beautifully at me.

"I could say the same about you"I said and then we got up, Harry drove the boat to go back to the port. He helped me get down so now we walked our way back to the hotel because now I was really tired of walking, needed a good sleep.

"Good night Melanie"Harry said before entering his room, I wished himbac before entering mine. I quickly changed into a white shirt and shorts before falling in a deep sleep on the comfy bed.

Tonight was a night I felt like I wasnt talking and having a good time with ny boss. I felt like I was talkinv and having a good time with my friend, a sweet, caring, sadly broken person that needed help.

A person I was slowly and unknowingly falling for.

WHAT? Really?
