Ever Since New York

EIGHT

Jacqueline's POV

"Hey!" Chris (Mari's brother) comes up to me and hugs me. I hug him back and he kisses my head catching me a bit off guard. I thought he had a girlfriend-

"Hey Chris," Harry says and goes to give him a brotherly hug.

Mari pulls me to her and says, "Hey so I told my brother to flirt with you to make Harry jealous." My eyes widened and as I was about to yell at her, Harry walks up to me and wraps his arm around my shoulder.

"Shall we sit over there with Viana?" He asks me and I nod nervously. Why would she do that? I understand she's trying to prove a point but if Harry does like me, then he might get mad and do something stupid. He gets very protective of the people he cares about.

We spent about two hours there at the cafe just catching up with each other and talking about going home for the holidays. Harry sat next to me the whole time and had his arm on my chair.

We were now finally home in the warm environment but it was just Chris and I in the kitchen while Harry spoke to Mari about something serious I guess.

"He's been in there for a long time," I whispered as I pointed to Mari's room.

"I thought he was gonna kill me to be honest when I gave you that quick head kiss. He told me that if I ever kissed you again, he'd hurt me, which scared the hell out of me so I told my sister I was not going to keep flirting with you. That wasn't weird though right?" Chris said making me laugh.

"Um not really, it caught me off guard though. He does seem a bit jealous, which means he might have some feelings for me." I said and high-fived him.

"Well, obviously he threatened to hurt me! Now, how do we break the tension?" He asked and an idea clicked in my head. I went to my refrigerator and grabbed the five cans of whipped creme we had. One day we decided to have a whipped creme fight with Mari and Niall to break the tension that they had between them.

"Oh yeah, this is gonna be sick." He says taking two cans and I leave one on the counter for whoever grabs it first. The door to Mari's room opens and we hid the whipped creme behind our backs.

"What's going on-" Mari asks but sees the whipped creme and runs to the counter quickly grabbing it.

"Damn it. Not again-" Harry starts but I run towards him with the whipped creme spraying it all over him.

"No!" His cries made this situation even more fun as he tried to cover his hair with his arms.

"Aha! Who's laughing now-" I say but stop talking as soon as I realize that there was no whipped cream left in either of my bottles.

"You are so dead." He says and I bolted towards the front door. I ran out to the lawn but Harry quickly caught up, grabbing me from behind and picking me up. The cold air quickly hitting us both.

"Harry don't you dare!" I yell but he buries his face, filled with whipped cream, in my neck. His laugh tickling the skin on my neck sending goosebumps to form on my arms. He puts me down on the ground and lets go of me. He wiped some whipped cream that was still on his face with his thumb and put some on my cheek.

"Really Harry? Like I don't have enough all around my neck." I say, making him laugh.

"Jacqueline! There's a mess in here and we're going out today so come on, everyone's gonna clean up, even you Edward." Mari yells from inside the house making me laugh.
