H A R R Y 🔫                 

We drove back into the city, which was still alive and lit up as people we're partying all night, getting drunk and gambling until they were broke. I drove into the parking lot of Menchie's Frozen Yoghurt. Once I had parked the bike and locked it, we entered the small shop, noticing how vacant it was except for an old acquaintance who was sitting behind the counter, dozing off.

   "Sheun!" I yelled out loud at my Korean friend who was snoring loudly. Sheun was a pro at martial arts and was a trainer at The Organization, but a few years ago, he left, due to the fact that he fell in love with someone who didn't love him back.

"Wake the fuck up!"

   "What, huh?" he muttered groggily, sitting up slowly as his blinked a couple of times. "Harry? What the fuck? I haven't seen you in ages man!" he grinned all of a sudden, standing up now as he rubbed the side of his face with his hand sleepily.

   "Yeah yeah," I shrugged carelessly, letting go of Scarlett's hand now that he was awake. "Still working here? Bet you wish you didn't quit working at The Organization," I smirked at him, while he glared hard at me.

   "No I don't regret my decision at all. Frozen yoghurt is the life man!" he threw his arms up in exaggeration as he spoke his words, making me roll my eyes at him. "Who's this?" he gestured towards Scarlett who was gazing around the shop in mild interest.

   "This is Scarlett-"

   "Your girlfriend?" he snickered, making me clench my jaw. "Never thought that would be possible to be honest," he continued to laugh.

   "She's not. She's just a friend," I told him sternly, making him roll his eyes at me.

   "Looks like she's not too pleased with that answer," he pointed out, making me spin around to lock gazes with Scarlett. Whatever expression she had on her face as I spoke my words had disappeared, her features held no emotion right now as she averted her gaze to the menu up above.

   "Okayyyyy," Sheun dragged out the word, sensing the awkwardness between us. "What would you like, Scarlett? It's on the house!" he asked her, shooting her a friendly smile, which she returned.

   "Umm I'd like a cookie dough monster with marshmallows."

   "Coming right up!" As Sheun prepared Scarlett's frozen yoghurt, I moved to stand next to her turning to face her with a questioning frown.

   "Are you okay?" I asked her, making her mirror my expression.

   "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" she retorted to my surprise.

   "I was just wondering," I said in a dumbfounded way, confused as to why she was acting cold all of a sudden. Was it because I didn't introduce her as my girlfriend? "Scar, don't be mad with me."

   "I'm not, Harry. Why would you think that?" she cocked an eyebrow at me questioningly, her features hard and cold.

  Just then, Sheun turned around with a smile, handing Scarlett, her frozen yoghurt. She took it with a pleased smile, thanking him quietly before she walked off to find a place to sit down. I watched her with a frown, trying to figure out a way to understand her and get her to stop being upset with me.

   "Harry, man, what do you want?" Sheun asked, distracting me momentarily. I focused my gaze on him once again.

   "Low-fat peanut buttercup," I told him sharply. I carried on thinking, but ending up giving up as I found it hard to figure out how to please her.

   "Girlfriend problems?" Sheun asked lowly, handing me my yoghurt.

   "Like you would know anything about that," I snapped all of a sudden, narrowing my eyes at him. He held his hands up in defense, eyes wide. "Sorry man, she just, fuck, she drives me insane sometimes."

   "I feel ya," he chuckled quietly. "I met this beautiful Argentinian girl a few months ago, she was the hardest woman to please, but I tried my best and it ended up making her really happy, which made me really happy," Sheun told me as I listened attentively.

   "The thing is, I just don't know how to please her sometimes, it's not like she's going to tell me what to do to make her happy, because where's the fun in that?" I scowled.

   "Well, why don't you start by telling her that she's yours and your hers?" he suggested, making my ears perk up.

   "What do you mean?"

   "Like, know where your relationship with her stands. If you've been through a lot of shit with her and you've already been intimate, then maybe you two should take a step further in labeling yourselves as girlfriend and boyfriend. Unless you're into that sort of thing, labeling," he explained slowly. "Or just talk it out. She won't stay mad at you forever," he shot me a small smile.

  I nodded at his words, taking my cup in hand as I walked towards where Scarlett was sitting. I sat opposite her in the booth, noticing how she avoided my gaze immediately as she shoved her spoon into her frozen yoghurt. I attempted to make conversation with her, but she kept shutting me down most of the time, saying vague things, seeming completely uninterested in what I had to so. I wasn't sure with was wrong with her, and it was pissing me off now.

  We finished off our yoghurts, tossing the cups into the bin as we bid Sheun goodbye and exited the shop. She walked ahead of me to the motorbike. I called out her name but she didn't turn around. Scowling in annoyance, I grabbed her wrist and spun her around to face me. She had a similar expression of annoyance on her face, her exquisite features forming a hard frown as she stared up at me.

   "Please, tell me what's wrong," I begged her, holding her small hands in my large ones as I gazed at her intently.

   "What are we Harry?" she asked me sharply, her question catching me off-guard slightly. She pulled her hands from mine, folding them over her chest, the action causing my heart to fall a little. The smallest things she did to me were affecting me.

   "I don't know-"

   "No, tell me. What are we? Because no matter how much we've been through and after everything that has happened, I'm still being introduced as your 'friend'," she added in air quotes, literally spitting out the word 'friend'. I didn't know calling her that would affect her so much.

   "Baby, you know you're much more than that," I started before she cut me off again.

   "Then why can't everyone else know? Are you ashamed of me? Are you scared that I'll ruin your reputation of being such an emotionless jackass?" Ouch.

   "No, of course not!" I scowled hard at her words.

   "Then what is it, Harry?" she sighed harshly. "And don't tell me you don't know because you fucking do. I know you, Harry Styles, you always have a reason for your actions-"

   "I barely do anymore! I don't know shit about what I'm doing with you Scarlett! This is all so new to me, I'm trying my fucking best alright?" I snapped at her, glaring back as we stared at each other with anger boiling in our veins.

   "I know that Harry, and I appreciate that immensely. But sometimes it just hurts me when you push me away in public, you may think it's nothing but it is something to me," she told me in a harsh tone, trying her hardest not to break down. I moved towards her, resulting in her taking a step back with a warning glare.

   "Do not kiss me. Kissing doesn't solve anything," she snapped, knowing exactly what my motives are. "We have to talk this through, Harry." I exhaled harshly, running a hand through my thick curls as I looked away.

   "I told you to wait didn't I?" I questioned her quietly, making her nod at my words.

   "And I told you not to do things that would make me change my mind, didn't I?" she retorted, arching an eyebrow at me challengingly. Where did she get all this newfound sassiness?

   "Just because I don't want to kiss you or hold your hand in public, does not mean I don't want you or feel for you," I said through gritted teeth, furious that just because I wasn't that into PDA she was giving up on me.

   "But the thing is you do kiss me and hold my hand in public! But when we're around people you know, you literally pretend like you don't know me! Like what's up with that?" she threw her hands up in the air in exasperation, making my eyebrows shoot up.

  Her words made me realize what I was doing to her. What she said was true, I was pretending that I barely knew her around people I knew. It had happened on several occasions, and sometimes I'd even notice the hurt that'd wash over her face every time I'd let go of her hand or shuffle away from her. What's worse was that I wasn't intentionally doing it, it was happening like on instinct. Like my body was programmed to do whatever it takes to not make me look weak in front of everybody. That was my problem. I was afraid I was going to look weak in front of everyone if I showed them that I have finally given into Scarlett.

   "I'm sorry Scarlett," I murmured lowly, wanting nothing more than to kiss all the anger and hurt, which she was feeling, away. But I knew she didn't want that.

   "I'm just...worried people will think I'm growing soft just because I'm giving into you little by little," I muttered shamefully, averting my gaze to the floor as I pulled my lip ring into my mouth.

  I heard footsteps and I felt her soft hands come up to cup my cheeks firmly, tugging my face towards hers. I was caught off-guard when she kissed me firmly; her sweet lips curling around mine, fitting into the gaps created ever so perfectly. She pulled away slowly, before giving short pecks to my lips before she stared at me with an indescribable look on her face. I wasn't sure why she kissed me but I didn't care.

   "That's not such a bad thing, baby," she told me gently, her nickname for me causing my stomach to coil unnaturally. "Does it bother you that much when people think that you're growing soft?" she asked me quietly.

   "Yes. People have already noticed me changing a little," I scowled slightly.

   "Do remember that you're changing for yourself, and not for me okay?" she told me firmly, her words sticking to my head like glue. "I don't want you to change for me, I want you to change for yourself, and so you can become a better person; for yourself."

   "Scarlett, I never would've changed for myself if it weren't for you," I told her seriously, pulling her firm against my body. She sighed quietly, resting her forehead against mine. 

   "Well then, I'm glad you met me," she giggled softly to my surprise, all of her anger fading away as she noticed the smile playing on my lips.

   "I'm glad I met you too."

Two days later...

S C A R L E T T 💣

  After that talk I had with Harry, he changed his ways even more. He stopped hiding the fact that we were in a way together from people now, mostly from my group of friends, rather than Seth, Blaze and Vlad. They were still people who judged him for his actions and he still didn't want to change their views. I understood that and respected that, and I was grateful that he didn't push me away harshly whenever we were together in front of them.

   "How far have you gone with Harry? Sexually?" Jade asked me all of a sudden, her provocative question catching me completely off-guard. We were currently at the spa, getting our nails and makeup done for tonight's ball.

   "Do I really have to answer that?" I cocked an eyebrow at her in amusement. She certainly wasn't afraid to ask random questions like that, Jade was a very confident and admirable woman.

   "I'm afraid you have no choice," she smiled sweetly at me as we waited for our nails to dry off before moving onto makeup.

   "I'm kinda uncomfortable with this."

   "Should I just say stuff and you'll tell me whether you've done it with him or not?" she suggested and I shrugged. "Okay, sex?"

   "Nope."

   "Blow jobs?"

   "Nah."

   "Eating out?"

   "No."

   "Jerking off?"

   "Yeah that has happened."

   "Okay, what about fingering?" she wiggled her eyebrows at me, making me blush profusely.

   "Yeah he did that," I muttered lowly, my cheeks flushing as I spoke.

   "Is he any good?"

   "Jade!" I gasped when she started making inappropriate gestures, causing some people to stare at us curiously. "Of course he's good," I said hastily, just so she could stop acting so weird.

   "Hmmm sounds like you two had fun," she giggled, as I rolled my eyes, smiling sheepishly.

   "It was nice I suppose," I mumbled. "Why are you asking me about this all of a sudden?" I questioned curiously.

   "I just wanted to know how far you've gone with him, y'know so I could suggest birth control," she explained briefly, as I frowned.

   "Do I really need birth control?" I asked her.

   "If you see yourself actually fucking him in the future, I suggest you go on birth control," she told me firmly as I still frowned skeptically. "Look think of it this way, if you do get birth control, there's lower cancer risk, clearer skin, light and less painful periods, PMS relief and etc., the list goes on."

   "Well those are a lot of pill perks," I murmured to myself, seriously contemplating on whether to go on the pill or not.

   "Yeah, plus, I'm pretty sure you'd want to feel Harry real good instead of through some icky plastic around his big ding-dong penis," she cringed as I burst out laughing, my face flushing red as I doubled over.

   "Jesus Christ, ding-dong penis?"

   "Oh don't get me wrong, it's huge alright. I accidentally walked in on him strolling around stark naked in his apartment. The thing was just swinging around like-"

   "Oh god stop, I can't even," I continued to laugh uncontrollably, bring my hand up to stifle my laughter.

   "It was very scarring," she told me with a grimace. "I'm not even sure how that fits into a vagina, like seriously."

   "Okay now I'm worried," I chuckled humorously, remembering how big he felt in my hand when I randomly jerked him off.

   "Don't be, I'm sure he'll find a way to shove it in there, even it it'll take him five bottles of lube or something," she waved off carelessly, causing me to crack up again.

   "I detest lube," I grimaced slightly, standing up with her as we walked around the spa.

  We got our hair and makeup done and headed back to the warehouse at around seven o'clock in the evening. Jade forced me to go straight to the hospital wing and get birth control when I told her I'd do it sometime next week, she was skeptical about me actually doing it. Once I got the shot, we headed back to the apartment building and got dressed, strapping our guns to our thighs and tugging on our expensive heels.

   "Let's do this shit," Jade nodded curtly at me, gesturing for me to follow her out of the building. I couldn't help but allow excitement and anxiousness fill up my body as we walked towards the black van that was sitting right outside. This was practically my first mission with Valkyrie, I could only hope I wouldn't mess up.
