Harry walks into the kitchen moments later with a pizza box in his left hand a piece of pepperoni pizza in his right.

"Why are you acting as if nothing happened? I ask him finally moving away from the spot Harry and I once shared.

"Cuz nothing did happen.." He shrugs taking another bite of his pizza

"Are you crazy?!" I ask, raising my voice. "I just cheated on my boyfriend of almost a year with a guy I just met yesterday!"

"You kissed me.." Harry stated

"You teased me.." I say lowering my voice back to normal.

"Relax. I wont tell Austin.. It was just a kiss"

"You're unbelievable.." I say rolling my eyes while grabbing a piece of pizza and heading upstairs, Harry was smart enough not to follow. Once I get to my room I check my phone.

Missed Call- Kent

I sighed in relief that it wasn't from Austin and dialled my brothers number

"Hello?"

"Hey, sorry I was downstairs" I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding in

"Are you okay? You seem stressed or something"  I decided that I wasn't going to tell my brother about me cheating on Austin. Like Harry said.. It was just a kiss, nothing more.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just tired"

"Sam?" Harry knocks on my door and I prayed that Kent didn't hear him. I put one finger on my lips signaling for Harry to be quiet. He just nodded his head and sat on my bed.

"Was that Austin" 'shit' I curse under my breath. "Let me talk to him" Kent orders

"Uh no.."

"Why not? I just want to say hi.."

"Well you see.. That wasn't exactly Austin" I sigh sitting next to Harry on the bed

"What! Who was it then?"

"...Harry"

"What the hell is he doing at the house?" I could tell he was surprised by my answer

"It's for school"

"I don't want you near him. First off he beat up your 'Boyfriend' the first day he was there" He said emphasizing the word boyfriend.

"Kent, I got to go.  I'll call you sometime again this week"

"okay, tell mom I said 'hi'" I hung up before he could say anything else

"Who was that?"

"My brother"

"Oh, where is he?"

"He's at university in Chicago" The silence grew awkward and I finally cracked. "Why did you let me kiss you?"

"Because I wanted to kiss you just as bad" Harry says not making eye contact.

"I need to tell Austin.  Ugh! He's gonna kill me" I groan

"I don't think you should tell him"

"What? I have to.."

"Listen, you watched me beat his face in. Don't think I wont hesitate to do more damage if he hurts you" Harry tells me as he packs up his bag

"Why do you care so much?" I ask curious

"I don't know..." And with that Harry walked down the stairs and out the door.

 " That boy is like a puzzle, but yet I find myself wanting to solve it "

*******************************

Once I pull myself together I continue to study without Harry. An hour in and I'm interrupted by the sound of my door bell ringing, I rush downstairs in hopes it was Harry.

"Austin?  What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to say sorry.." He says not making eye contact with me

"Sorry? For what?' I ask, pulling him inside so that he didn't have to stand in the cold

"Well...'"He starts but stops "Wait, is he still here?"

"No, he left an hour ago"

"Okay, well I just wanted to say sorry for the way I acted after school. I was just getting jealous" I immediately feel guilty from his apology. I need to tell him.. I have to.

"Austin?"

"yeah?" He asks looking up at me from the couch. I let in a big breath and slowly let it out.

"I kissed Harry" I said faster than my usual talking pace. His fists clenched and his eyebrows furrowed.

'I'm going to kill him" he spits, standing up from the couch and walking towards the door.

"Austin wait!" I say walking after him

"What!"

"  I kissed him! okay? .. Me! I did it.."

"Why?"

"Honestly.. I don't know. But I'm telling you that from this moment on, I want nothing to do with him. Please" I beg "Please forgive me.."

"You promise me?"

"I promise.." Austin wraps his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug. "I'm so sorry" I whisper

"Shh" Austin says while kissing my forehead. "Lets go lie down" Austin suggests, I nod and we walk upstairs to my room. I move all the books and papers off my bed, then change into something comfy while Austin stripped down to his boxers. I shut the light off and cuddled up beside Austin in my bed. It was silent, but not an awkward silent, more like a peaceful quiet.

'from this moment on I want nothing to do with him' the words replayed through my mind.  The thought of never seeing, talking or touching Harry again seemed to upset me. Even though it's not what I want.. It's what I need.

"What are you thinking about?" I ask Austin almost scared of his answer.

"The first day we met.  You where wearing dark blue, denim shorts and a pink floral see through top with a black tank top underneath. Your hair was wavy and you where wearing a lemon-citrus perfume" He says. I smile remembering the moment like it was yesterday "You took my breath away.. still do"  I didn't know what to say to make this moment any better, so I placed a small kiss on his chest working my way up to his lips.

"I love you" I say to him

"I love you more" and with no hesitation he smashed his lips against mine.  And in that moment.. Everything was perfect
