I sat at the dinner table with my phone in hand. "So, I saw you linked to Lindsey on Facebook." I said taking a bite of mashed potatoes.
Harry looked up and shrugged, "Yeah. What about it?"
I swallowed my food, "Nothing. I was just stating an observation."
He looked down at his phone as a text appeared on the screen. His thumbs tapped quickly on the screen. I quickly ate the rest of my food and got up to clean off my plate. I ran the hot water over my plate and watched the leftover crumbs fall into the sink. All of a sudden, I felt long arms wrap around my waist. Harry lied his head down onto my shoulder and kissed me on the cheek. I smiled and finished scrubbing the rest of the food off my plate. I shut the water off and turned around to face Harry. He grinned and leaned down to kiss me. Right before our lips met, there was a knock at the door. I looked over at the small, white clock on the counter. "It's 7:30. Who could that be?" I looked over at the front door.
Harry held my hand as we walked over to the door. Harry opened the door. A slim man with messy, blonde hair stood with his arms crossed. He was pretty muscular and about 6 inches taller than me. "Uh...Hi. May I help you?" I asked with a small smile on my face.
"Yeah you can!" The man's voice was deep and tense.
He stared at me with a look that made me uncomfortable. Harry cleared his throat, "And what is that?"
The man shot a dirty look at Harry. "Well, I heard you've been hanging with my girlfriend, Lindsey!"
Harry shook his head. "You must be mistaken."
The man punched Harry in the shoulder, "Don't tell me I'm lying!"
Harry didn't yell, but instead kept calm, "Sir, what is your name?"
"Steven."
Harry nodded, "Well, Steven can you please leave."
"No! I won't leave! Not until you tell me why you were with my girlfriend!"
I stared at Steven with wide eyes. He was so rude and strict, it was scary. All of a sudden, Steven grabbed my arm and yanked me toward him. I let out a small scream as he pulled me up against his muscular body. Harry yelled, "Hey! What are you doing with my girlfriend?"
Steven smirked and pulled me to where Harry wasn't able to yank me back. "Oh, you don't like that do you?"
He then ran his fingers through my hair. "Oh, is little Harry going to do something about it, or is he too scared?"
Harry kicked Steven in the leg. Steven barely even flinched. He then pulled me closer to him and hugged me. I could smell his cologne that he obviously applied too much of. I dug my long finger nails into his arm and squirmed around. It didn't help. His grip on me only grew tighter. "Oh, it seems she's a little fighter, isn't she." Steven laughed. "Aw. That's so cute."
He patted my head. "Get your hands off me!" I screamed. "Don't pat me like I'm a dog, you idiot!"
I lunged backward away from him and punched his jaw. Harry reached forward and pulled my arms toward him. I squeezed Harry's shirt as I hugged him. "You jerk," Steven yelled as he held his jaw.
"Aw. Is little Steven gonna cry?" I said in a baby voice.
I reached forward and patted his arm. "Oh poor baby Steven. You must want mommy by now."
As he went to slap me, I kicked his stomach. He quickly fell to the ground in pain. I jumped back before Steven's hurt body could fall onto my feet. He groaned in pain as he lied on the ground gripping his stomach. "Go away!" I yelled leaning down to his ear.
Steven turned his head so he could see me. His face was red with anger. His fist flew forward and slammed against my face. I screamed at the top of my lungs. Harry quickly knelt down to make sure I was okay. As Steven began standing back up, Harry stood up too. His curly, brown hair blew from the cold wind from outside. He jabbed his finger into Steven's chest, "Listen here, bud. You better leave right now before I call the cops. I'm gonna give you 10 seconds."
Steven growled, "Don't boss me around! If you hadn't been with my girlfriend, none of this would have happened."
Harry groaned, "I don't know what you're talking about! I haven't been hanging out with your girlfriend. The only time I saw her was when my girlfriend and I went to the movies and Lindsey happened to be there."
I stood up and rubbed my face. "It's true," I said. "And your girlfriend is definitely rude and doesn't like me."
Steven shrugged, "Whatever. If I found out you were with my girlfriend, Harry, I will be back and I won't be this nice."
Harry pulled out his phone, "Hmm. Okay so to call the police I just have to type in three little numbers."
He looked up at Steven and gave him a look. Steven sighed, "Fine. Good-bye."
He walked down the sidewalk to his car. I shut the door and looked over at Harry who had a relieved look on his face. "So," I said grabbing his hand. "Where were we?"
"Not now, Alyssa." He said releasing my hand. "Later, babe. Later."
I nodded and walked into the living room to watch some TV. I could hear Harry take a deep breathe over by the front door. His footsteps were unheard as he walked into the living room by me. He sat down and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I smiled and leaned in closer to him. We sat there the rest of the night watching movies and cuddling together, until we eventually fell asleep.
