Last First Kiss

Chapter 33

Melina's P.O.V.

"Where'd you get this?" I voiced my thoughts as I looked at the picture on Harry's phone and found myself smiling absentmindedly. I was hugging Mario, his arms secured around my waist as he kissed the top of my head

"What matters, is why you didn't tell me" Harry said through gritted teeth

"Why didn't I tell you?" I laughed. What the hell is he going on about?

"Yes, why?!"

"Okay, well, it never occurred?" I snickered "I don't know, it didn't seem too important to mention"

"It wasn't important enough to mention? You're kidding? Would you ever even consider telling me?" Harry looked at me disbelievingly

"Yeah, once we would be further into whatever it is we had. I mean, Mario does mean a lot to me after all" I answered

"Oh, so his name is Mario?" Harry mocked

"Obviously" I said suspiciously

"And what does your daddy think of this 'Mario'?" Harry taunted

"He doesn't really like him, but that's mostly because Mario's related to my mum" I answered calmly

"Are you sick?!" Harry was looking at me as if I just grew an extra head

"Uh, no. I'm just emotionally in pain" I flashed an ironic smile and shortly saw guilt washing over Harry's face

"And why don't you listen to your dad?" Harry hissed

"Because Mario was always there for me. He helped me through my parents' divorce, through my first break-up, through my first everything! I'm closer to him than to any other family member I have" I exclaimed

"Family member?" Harry's eyes widened

"Family member"

"Family member?"

"Yes, Harry! My cousin is more or less my best friend!" I yelled in frustration "What the hell does this have to do with anything?!"

"He's your cousin?" Harry whispered as his gaze shifted to his food

"Uh, yes. Who do you think he was?" I asked confused. Harry looked up at me, but quickly looked back down at his food in shame and I slowly started catching on

"My boyfriend?!" I asked "Really?"

"It's not that weird" he muttered under his breath

"Don't you think I would've mentioned a boyfriend before kissing you like, 8 times?" I questioned

"10 times" Harry muttered again

"Did you actually keep track of our kisses?" I whispered, feeling my heart flutter at the thought. Harry stayed quiet, letting the blush that crept up his cheeks speak for itself

"Harry, I don't get you. You keep track of our kisses, but when someone tells you to back off, you do so and then you realize your mistake and you make it up, only to do the same thing again" I breathed, swallowing the tears

"I know I screwed up" Harry said, pain evading his green eyes

"Give me ONE reason why I should give you another chance, Harry. Just one" I voiced shakily

"You promised you'd always be there for me. And you don't break your promises" Harry looked straight into my eyes

"Really?" I snapped and let the tears slowly escape my eyes "I have to ALWAYS be there for you and YOU can just come and go as you please?! That's not fair, Harry! NOT AT ALL!"
