Harry's POV
Valentina was about to walk away
"Wait," I said and she turned around
"Well, let me at least assist you..please?" I said as I stood up from the chair and followed her
"Okay." She chuckles and we both went to her kitchen
We then started to chop some vegetables while talking about random things just to make me at least forget what's still bugging me. Just to forget about Jennifer, at least
"Wait. I think the water is boiling now." She said leaving me there still chopping as she went to the stove
Then,
"Ouch!!!"
I looked at her as she's the aching cause of hurt
I rushed to her and take a look of her hand
"Let me see.." I get her hand and take a look. It's not too much, just a little red part at her ring finger
And.., I don't know why but I thought about the usual thing I do every time Jennifer got this when she cooks. And then I do it
I softly suck the part of her finger for her not to feel the pain.
Then Jennifer suddenly popped in my mind. Her smile, her face,...just came through my mind. The times when I'm doing it to her just suddenly came
"Hey," Valentina whispered
I didn't even notice that I got blank for a few seconds.
"What's wrong?" She asked almost whispering
I looked at her eyes as I startled. God, why am I doing those things to others when Jennifer's still at the back of my mind..?
" S..sorry.." I said trying to chuckle as I released her hand
"No..it's good. Actually.." She said looking at my lips then she bit softly her lower lip as she looked into my eyes, like she wants something...
Then she slowly leaned her head to me.., still not breaking the eye contact then soon, she slowly pressed her lips against mine...
I was locked for a moment
I kissed her back
It was soft and light but I do know that this isn't right...
Before she could make it deeper, I pulled away from my head
"I'm..I'm sorry...I didn't mean it.." I said
"It's Okay...relax.." She said smiling as she put her hand on the back of my head and pulled closer my head to her and pressed her lips again against my lips and this time, it's getting deeper and hard.
I remember those times when we were younger. The time when I'm still not who I am right now. The time I used to kiss her but as just a game and no feelings involved. Just kissing..,
And I hate remembering those..,
I pulled away as I held both of her hands,
She bit her lips as she looked down, disappointed
"Is there someone else Harry?" She asked looking deeply into my eyes
"Look, Valentina. I know what kind of relationship we had back then. And I assume you know it..but I gotta tell you this. I'm not that kind of guy anymore.." I explained to her
She looked away and crossed her arms
And this moment, I feel like a douche bag
"Look, we can still be friends.." I said but she's still not looking at me
