NICK'S POV

I ate my lunch and put the plate in the sink for washing it later. I turned around and saw Selena in her bra and shorts. I stared at her with wide-open eyes.

"Whaaaat?" Selena groaned as she made her way towards the counter.

I can't help but admire the beautiful Selena Gallagher. She makes me feel alive. I met her nearly 6 months ago in a bar being used by a man who had better physical strength than her.

-FLASHBACK-

A typical night of getting wasted in my favourite bar : Moe's. But it wasn't really typical that night because I had pushed Miley and my daughter out of my life. I planned on getting heavily drunk, ya know?

It was my fifth shot or something because after three, I lost count. I gazed around the bar. People getting heavily drunk, having sex, making out, dancing around...A typical scene in any bar you go to in America.

As I gazed around, in a corner I saw two men - heavily drunk - cornering a girl who looked around 21. The main one - as what I thought - told the other guy to go away. The girl was wearing a short, tight red dress with practically half of her chest out. I felt sorry for her as the man tried to thrust himself onto her. I got this kind of burning feeling inside me like I should save her.

The man inhaled her scent and kissed her forcefully as the girl tried to push him away but she was wasted. She didn't have any energy left inside her.

I instantly got up and moved towards them.

"Let's make love, babe!" The man ordered her. 

"No! G-Go away...!" She tried running away.

"Hey, ass! Leave her alone!" I heard myself protest for the girl.

The man turned around and I gave a solid punch at his face. He retreated as a result. Blood was gushing from his nose.

"Well, well. What do we have here?" The man said, marching towards me.

"You leave her alone and go away, okay?" I ordered him. 

"What if I don't?" He challenged me. 

"Then I'm gonna beat the shit out of you," I said sternly feeling my anger gush out. 

"Whatever." He said and pushed the girl towards me and she fell at my feet.

The man smirked and moved towards a bar dancer. He was gone.

I helped the wasted girl up and saw her face. It was a familiar face. The makeup was smeared badly on her face. She looked so pale from the assault. Was it just me or had I seen her somewhere? I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. I saw her starting to cry.

"Hey, hey..." I said and wiped her tears, "It's okay. I'll look after you. Can you walk?"

The girl nodded and started to walk but soon started falling. I grabbed her before she did and she felt offended.

"Hey! I can walk! Jackasses..." She said and started to walk.  

"I don't think you can walk if you keep falling every minute," I joked. 

"Whatever," She said and kept her hand on my shoulder.

I was shocked as to why. "Well, you gotta help me right?" She said and frowned. 

"Right," I said and held her by her waist. Yup, she definitely looked familiar.

We walked to my car and I set her onto the passenger seat. I walked across to the driving side and started the ignition. We reached my house and I opened the main door with the keys. As I did, she leaned over the door side.

God, she's so sexy...

The door finally opened and I led her to my room. She crashed into the bed and I frowned.

She doesn't even know me and she crashed on my bed?

"I was thinking maybe you should... Change your clothes first?" I suggested. 

"I don't have spare clothes," she replied. 

"I could lend you mine for the night," I offered.

She nodded and I moved to the chest of drawers. I took out a pair of shorts and a white plain shirt. She took it from me and moved to the bathroom. After a few minutes, she came out. She looked stunning. She came to the other side of the bed and passed out. I admired her flawless self for a few minutes then drifted off to sleep.

..IN THE MORNING..

I got up from my bed and checked the time. 11 am. I checked if the girl was still there. And sure she was, sprawled on the other side of the mattress.

"Ummm... Excuse me? It's 11 am. Could you wake-" but before I could finish, the girl grabbed me and pulled me into a kiss.

The kiss was long, like I actually meant something to her. I pulled her closer and our bodies were glued together. She woke up and widened her eyes.

"Who the hell are you?!" she screamed.

I was shocked. Maybe so much of alcohol had drained her memory. About who she was and...

"I'm Nick. I saved you last night from a guy remember?" I tried to sound brave. 

"Well, that guy was my boyfriend!" She yelled. 

"That jerk was your boyfriend?" I frowned. 

"Got a problem?" She challenged, "Anyway, why am I wearing your clothes? And why do you look familiar?!"  

"You borrowed them last night since your dress wasn't... Appropriate to sleep in. As for the last question, I don't know. You seem familiar too..." I kept my face straight.

The girl walked out of the bed and looked for her dress.

"It's in the bathroom." I said and she walked over to the bathroom.

She came out wearing the dress and gave me back my clothes. Her body was a flawless shape.

"Stop staring," she said. 

"What's your name?" I ask.

She looked at me for a while thinking whether she should trust me or not. She finally spoke.

"Selena. Selena Galagher," she said and walked out of the room towards the main door. I heard the main door close and I finally realized the beauty was gone.

Memories flooded back. I HAVE seen this girl. Heck, her face... All too familiar. 

And then I realised. She was a student with me and Miley in our high school. Selena Gallagher... Yes...
