Last First Kiss

Chapter 47

Harry's P.O.V.

"Valerio, this is Harry" Melina turned back to Valerio, the bright smile still decorating her already beautiful face

"So you are the lucky man to have her now" Valerio concluded, sending a smug smile my way as he stuck out his hand, which pulled me into a masculine hug once I made an effort to shake it "Nice to meet you. Happy New Year"

"Likewise" I huffed, but my voice was overpowered by the music blasting from the speakers. I kept shooting the brawny fellow in front of me a warning glare as my fingers dug into Melina's hips, the feeling turning me on despite the inappropriate moment. Valerio's gaze shifted from where my hands were abusing my girlfriend's hips to my face, watching me with an amused glint in his eyes

"What are you looking at?" I yelled rather unfriendly, Melina's elbow quickly colliding with my side, making me softly huff

"Nothing, it's just..." Valerio trailed off "I just never expected you to be the type of guy Meli would fall for"

My eyebrows raised at the statement. Who the fυck does this guy think he is? Meli? Really, Meli? What the fυck?

"I don't have a type, Jesus! I've told you like a million times" Melina exclaimed, miraculously succeeding in escaping my grasp and playfully hitting her ex's arm

"And I didn't believe you like... a million times" Valerio laughed adorably, his slightly noticeable Italian accent adding up to his usual charm. Christ, what the hell am I even saying? I sound like a love-struck teenage girl! Absolute bσllocks!

My eyes jealously scanned over the lad, who was now shamelessly flirting with his ex, my girlfriend. And, although I couldn't even stand the guy as soon as I saw him near my Melina, I had to admit, the fellow was good-looking. His dark hair was in a buzz cut and was in complete and utter contrast with his blazing blue eyes. His smile was bright and he was muscular, more muscular than me definitely. As I continued observing every tiny centimeter of his body, I felt like a complete idiot. I looked as if I was fancying him for fυck's sake! Yet, I couldn't stop raking my eyes over the ex Melina seemed so close to. I noticed a tattoo of some sort of half-naked nymph decorating his upper arm. Guess she liked tattoos on guys. At least I win from him in that aspect! A chuckle accidentally slipped from my lips at the silly thought, but thankfully the loud music covered for me

"You guys want something to drink?" Melina's cheery voice invaded my ears as she flicked her head from me to Valerio

"No, I've got a martini waiting for me at our table" I answered in a slightly mocking tone, implying she should be there with me, instead of flirting with her ex-boyfriend

"You?" Melina turned to Valerio, completely oblivious to the fury that was slowly starting to build up inside of me

"I'd love a drink" Valerio returned the big, admiring smile she was granting him, even until after she had turned around to order the drink

"So, how long have you been together?" Valerio asked as I had strangely ended up next to him because of the pushing mass of people

"Couple of months" I answered reluctantly, suspiciously eyeing the foreign expression he wore on his face

"You s.crewed yet?" he suddenly turned to look at me, his blue eye staring intensely into mine as I frowned

"That's quite a blunt question to ask, don't you think?" I replied contemptuously, pulling a face I was sure I had copied from Louis

"Sorry, man" Valerio shook his hand, struggling to contain a smile by pressing his lips together "I guess I just kind of- miss her s.ex"

"Excuse me?" my voice raised an octave as I stared disbelievingly at the bloke in front of me, my eyes probably the size of saucers
