Broken Charms

Torn In Paris: Part Two

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

“No, Harry, it is exactly what I think. You two started a water fight and you didn’t invite us.” he said and then two things happened at once; all the dancers appeared from behind him and started throwing water balloons at him and at each other. I was so stunned about what was happening that I looked to Harry for answers. He looked like he had no clue. Then, a waterfall fell on our heads, making us even wetter. He looked back, and there they were. Niall and Anne, carrying the empty pot from the kitchen, were laughing at us. I just laughed at the situation. How we, all the dancers, the boys and the band were playing water fight in a parking lot in Paris and we didn’t even care. We looked so happy.

Niall started to run immediately after being chased by Harry. I continued laughing as I sprayed water to Anne, who started running in circles trying to avoid the water and started fake-threatening me that she was going to make me wet, which was so doubtful since I was already so wet.

All of sudden music started playing from the speakers and I laughed even harder because the music was entertaining and happy. Like the kind of music that was played at the end of every movie with a happy ending. Everything was so perfect.

“So do you like the music, Star?” John asked form behind me.

“Yes, John. Are you responsible for that?”

“Of course.” he said, smiling. I smiled back mischievously.

“Then you deserve a present.” I said and before he had time to question me I turned the water towards him, wetting his clothes. He was stunned for a few seconds before he leaped towards me, grabbing me by my waist trying to get the hose. Anne took the chance and threw upon us a bucket of water, making us both even wetter.  With one look I handed John the hose and we both started chasing Anne trying to take revenge.

But Liam hit me with a water balloon that exploded on my back and I focused on getting even with them after that. I loaded myself with several water balloons and started chasing him, but he was so fast. Only when he had hit me a few more times I decided to follow a different strategy. I hid from him and only then I managed a hit. After that we were playing something like hide and seek. He was so good at it.

“I’m going to find you now.” he said. I could almost imagine his grin on his face. He was smiling a lot today, which was a good a thing since he missed Danielle and he was constantly in a very bad mood.  I wanted to be happy all the time. Out of all the boys he was the one that I related to the most. He was more like a brother to me. Especially after Harry and I decided to be together and I didn’t want to talk to John. He was such a good listener. I trying to sneak out of my hiding place in order to locate him but I couldn’t find him. I wandered around the back of the busses but no one was there.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed me and pinned me to the back of a bus. The water balloons I’ve been holding fell to the ground, splashing water at my legs. I looked up and faced Harry’s lustful eyes.

“Do you know how sexy you are right now?” he said and without hesitation he kissed me passionately. I immediately kissed him back, forgetting everything but his lips on mine. His fingers explored my sides and found their way to my ass. He gave a tug and I jumped, wrapping my legs around his waist, allowing him to pin me to the bus.

“Keep saying things like that and I’ll combust right here.” I warned him. He smiled at my neck and bit me softly just below my ear. My hands that were at his wet hair went to his chest, feeling his hard muscles beneath his wet shirt. His lips returned to mine and I kissed him hard, wishing this moment would never end. I was in love with his surprise attacks. Just after my lips left his lips and travelled to his neck I raised my eyes and saw a glimpse of a shadow at the back of the other bus. I froze.
