I smelled his perfumes and smiled. After few absolutely pleasing seconds I stepped back.

"Um guys..." James came in " Harley, your suitcase and backpack is outside"

"I am coming." I said and walked out to get my things. I got luggage and walked upstairs. "Ben! Should I go to my room?" I screamed.

Basically 'my' room wasn't my room. It was room in which I have slept since Ben moved here. I have known him since 2008 and since then I have always been close with him, he promised me then that he'd be my family to the end of the world and he's keeping his promise.

"No! " he shouted back "I have 5 people in this house, do you really think you gonna have one of the biggest rooms? Go to room on the left or maybe you want to have a roommate?"

I laughed and refused.

"Really? Don't you want to be in one room with me? " I felt breath on my skin. I turned back.

" Stoff, we know each other for few minutes, do you really think I agree to live with you in one room?" I looked at him. He was much taller than me.

" Maybe." he laughed and walked away "I can always have hope."

" I hope I will get food fastly cuz I am starving." I said and headed to my room. It was the smallest room in the house. When you enter it, on your left there's bed for one person and small night table. In the front there's tiny wardrobe and on the right there's window. I placed clothes in the wardrobe and my cosmetics in the bathroom. I walked downstairs and out on porch, where guys had been already eating.

" Sam! " I shouted and ran to the girl, she stood up and hugged me. After saying how much we missed each other I sat down next to Denis.

"Do you want some noodles?" he asked and I nodded.

"You are the only one who understands his accent without doubts." Cameron said and Stoff blushed.

"Did you forget what was her accent when we met her?" Sam asked. I was happy that in those years that I'd lost my accent. Cam laughed and Ben started saying random stuff in the way I used to speak.

"Did you have similar accent?" Denis asked confused and I admitted. "So where are you from?"

"From Poland." I said. "To be honest I lived pretty close to Ukraine." I smiled.

"Cool. Have you ever been to Ukraine?" he asked and I saw Ben groaned. I laughed.

"Yes, few times."

"Hey, maybe you gonna know each other better alone cuz we know about this all." Ben said and changed topic. Guys started talking about plans about the new album, what was pretty interesting but then about parties and girls. Typical. I stood up and started taking dirty plates back to kitchen.

"I will help you." Denis said, grabbed few things and followed me to kitchen.

"So... what do you do?" he asked in kitchen.

"You are really impatient." I said. "I write books. Now I have break but yeah."

He looked at me and I swear I have never melted inside more. " So maybe you will tell me something about you?" I asked.

"Don't lie that you haven't stalked me since you found out that I had joined." he smirked.

"Ben?" I asked after I had blushed like tomatoe.

"Yeah." he laughed. That's truth, since guys told me who had joined AA, I have been checking him everywhere where it is possible, on twitter, instagram, youtube,everywhere. "So what do you expect from the new album?" he asked shily, I could clearly see that he was bit stressed.

" I hope you'll kick everybodies asses." I joked, he relaxed bit more. I packed the dishwasher and sat on the cupboard.

" How many tattoos do you have?" he asked, I really liked the way he changed topics.

"Around 60." I smiled proudly "Do you want me to show you some?" I jumped off the cupboard when he nodded. I showed him my first ever tattoo- mandala on my arm. "Tattoos on my arms don't have a meaning, they just look nice" I said. All of them were dotwork tattoos with which I have been in love for over 10 years. I scrolled up sleeve from my trousers. "These ones do." I looked up at him, he looked like he was absolutely amazed with them. After explaining all the meanings, we heard Sam calling me.

"Harley please come back! I can't stand any more minute without a women there" I laughed and started walking to the back doors.

"Hey stop for 59 more seconds." Denis put his hands on my shoulders and turned me around. "I love your tattooes. You are really beautiful outside and inside." he said fastly and smirked. I had no idea what to answer so I stuttered out quiet 'thanks' and walked away.

"Guys what movie are we watching?" asked Ben drunkly, we all were pretty drunk as boys decided that tomorrow they'd get to work, so we had to get drunk tonight. James has just brought new bottles of beer and sat on the sofa next to me, passing beer to everyone. Samantha was lying on Ben's shoulder and slowly falling asleep. I was sitting between James and...Denis.

"Nah, I don't want to watch a movie." Sam-boy said. "Let's play truth or dare."

"I am going to sleep." Sam-girl said and left. One part of my mind was telling me to also go to sleep as I knew how it was going to end up but the second part wanted to see what was going to happen and join the game. Yes, I left. We all sat in circle and took empty bottle.

"Ladies first." Cam said and gave me the bottle.

"Before we start, no stripping." I said and turned the glass. Ben. "Truth or dare?"

"I feel like dare." Ben answered and I started thinking of one.

"Got it." I said and walked to the kitchen. I came back with jar of pickles. "You have to drink it." I said and gave him it.

He was disgusted but also too proud to give up. He drunk it all with closed nose. We congratulated him and got back to the game. He turned the bottle, it stopped on Denis. Ben looked at me and his eyes were screaming "YOU GONNA REGRET YOUR DARE FOR ME!"

"Denis...so truth or dare?" he asked politely but I knew he has questions which gonna make me embarassed for both options.

"Dare." Denis asked and Ben smirked.

"I dare you to...kiss Harley." I opened my eyes wide. I was mad at him of that dare but I couldn't do anything. Long time ago we gave this rule that we couldn't deny doing something if it was not our turn. Denis looked also shocked but he seemed fine with that. I hoped that all of them were so drunk that tomorrow noone of them gonna remember what has happened.

Denis came to me and caught my chin making me look at him. I looked straight to his eyes and he did to mine. He slowly moved himself closer and finally connected our lips. The kiss was soft and gentle. I had shiver all over my body. I kissed back what wasn't in plan. He firstly was suprised but didn't stop the kiss. I stopped caring about all the world around me. There was only he, his hands on my cheeks and his lips on mine. I completly got lost in emotions I had inside me. I felt love. When I was raising my hands to place them on his neck, I reminded myself where I was and fastly stopped the kiss. Denis smirked and walked away. Ben seemed to say something but I didn't hear him. I didn't know what was happening with me. I looked at Denis, he was starring at me with big smile on his face.

To this moment I have never believed that you can fell in love by first sight but now I do. Because I think I fell in love with him.
