I'm in Love With a Criminal // H.E.S

Chapter 14:

*Harry's POV*

--------------------

It's been just over an hour since mine and Melanie's argument, I sighed and twiddled the necklace between my fingers. I saw the photo, the cause of our fight, on the floor. I picked it up and ran my thumb over Jennifer's face, I haven't seen her in about 3 months, not since the last prison visitation hour.

I groaned loudly and screwed up the picture, throwing it across the room. Part of me wanted Jennifer but the other so badly wanted Melanie, I covered my face with my hands and sighed.

After thinking for a few minutes about our fight, I stood up and walked upstairs. "Melanie?" I asked, opening my bedroom door. I found her fast asleep on my bed. I smiled at her innocent state, her knees were pulled to her stomach and her hands rested under her head.

I climbed onto the bed and laid behind her, pulling her into my body. She began to toss and turn so I held her tighter, wrapping my leg over her waist. She finally relaxed and her soft snores filled the quiet atmosphere once again, I repeatedly planted kisses on her neck and shoulder.

Melanie was so obviously jealous of mine and Jennifer's relationship, I could see it in her eyes when we were arguing. Why else would she have ran upstairs crying her eyes out?

"Melanie" I said, shaking her arm vigorously. She remained asleep, I rolled my eyes at the heavy sleeper in front of me. "Melanie" I exclaimed, she jolted from her sleep and groaned.

Once she felt my arms around her she started squirming and thrashing about, "stop it" I warned. She sighed out in frustration when she realized that she wasn't going to escape my hold, "what do you want?" She spat.

I spun her around so she was facing me, "you" I mumbled, resting my head on the same pillow as hers. She rolled her eyes and sat up, ready to get out of bed. I quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her back down, "Harry, get off me now!" She screamed.

"Just listen to me!" I shouted, making her flinch and cower back into the headboard. Her eyes widened at my sudden outburst, the fear in her eyes was obvious.

A smirk made its way to my lips, "good girl" I said, stroking her cheek gently. She screwed her face up and mumbled, "I'm not a dog". I leant closer to her so our noses were nearly touching, "stop back chatting me" I said, making her let out a shaky breath.

"Now, are you going to listen to me?" I asked, she forced a fake thinking face and stroked her chin. "Nope" she said, popping the p. With that, she got off the bed and walked to the door, "Melanie!" I shouted.

I jumped off the bed and followed her, "leave me alone" she groaned. I ran my fingers through my hair in anger, I have to put up with her attitude and stupid hormones for another week. I now hate periods as much as girls do.

She skipped downstairs and walked into the kitchen, "Melanie, the longer you avoid me, the longer punishment you will get" I threatened. She still ignored me and filled up a glass with water, I groaned and took the drink out of her hand, putting it on the side.

I boxed her into the work top and she looked up at me in disgust, "stop being a stubborn bitch" I said, poking her nose. She scoffed and shook her head, "stop being a fucking asshole then!" She exclaimed.

God, she's even sexier when she swears.

"Jennifer is indeed my girlfriend" I stated, she nodded and laughed in disbelief. "Then why don't you go over to hers and be with her?" She said with full attitude, I cupped her face and pressed my forehead against hers. "Because I want to be with you" I groaned, she pushed my chest away from her hard, making me stumble backwards.

As soon as we parted, she walked away from me. "Look, I'm being really patient. Sit the fuck down and listen to me now!" I boomed. I grabbed her arm and threw her on to a dining chair, I crouched down in front of her and held her hands tightly to prevent her from pushing, punching, scratching and slapping me.

"Jennifer is my girlfriend but I haven't seen her in about 3 months, to be honest. I don't really like her as much as I did anymore, you know?" I explained, she shook her head and replied "no Harry, I don't know".

I smirked at her sarcasm, she's so obviously jealous. Either that or it's them stupid hormones, but I'm going to go with the first one.

"Anyway, ever since we met, I think I may be falling for you.." I said quietly, I had to say it sooner or later. "We've known each other for not even a week and you're saying this?" She laughed, our eyes met and she sighed.

I knew damn well that I wasn't just falling for her, I know that in just a couple of short days, I'll be completely in love with her. I know it.

How couldn't I not fall in love with her? She's perfect in every single way. "Harry" Melanie snapped, I jumped from the daydream I didn't realise I was in. "Huh? What?" I chirped, she raised an eyebrow at me and shook her head.

"Can you let me go now?" She asked impatiently, I shook my head and winked at her. "I've never ever let you go" I said quietly, bringing her hands up to my lips to kiss them gently.

"Yeah well, I need to go to the toilet, so you have to let me go" she said in a cocky voice, I shook my head and replied "nope, you can hold it". She narrowed her eyebrows at me and tried to pull her wrists out of my hands but failed.

"Do you want me to piss on you?" She shouted, getting frustrated, I burst out laughing at the seriousness in her voice. "Harry, I swear to fucking God. I will literally piss on you if you don't let me go!" She screamed, I tilted my head to the side and stared at her.

I didn't say anything which made her more angry, she took deep breathes, trying to calm herself down. She squeezed my hands and pushed herself off the chair and into me, I fell backwards and she landed on top of me.

Okay, she's straddling me. Don't, don't, don't. Oh for goodness sake, some serious awkward boner going on here.

She went to stand up but I grabbed her waist, "are you trying to deliberately make me horny or what?" I laughed. I quickly spun us around, so I was now straddling her. "Harry, I need to pee" she exclaimed, I studied her face.

Her cheeks were pink from how angry she was, she looked adorable. Without knowing what I was doing, I leant closer to her. Our lips touching soon after, I intertwined our fingers and pinned her hands to the floor above her head.

Her lips are so soft, I moaned into to gentle kiss. Just her presence makes me happy, but this? Well, I feel like the happiest man on Earth.

She turned her head so our lips disconnected, "you may go and pee" I smirked. She tried to get up but I was still sat on her waist, she raised her eyebrows at me and waited for me to move. "I'll break up with Jennifer" I stated, she sighed and shook her head.

"No don't, she's your girlfriend and you love each other" she replied, I smiled at her kindness. "I don't love her" I said quietly, she rolled her eyes and pushed me off her, getting up after.

"Melanie" I called out, she stopped at the door. "I'll break up with her for you, for us" I continued, she laughed and blew her fringe out of her face.

"There isn't an us and there never will be".
