The night I didn’t get enough sleep. I was awake most of the night thinking about the kiss. I couldn’t stop blushing while thinking about him. I got my first kiss. That too with Harry. My lips curved up with smile while a lot of emotions were welling up inside me.
His kiss meant something to me. He showed how much he wanted me in his kiss. It felt he wanted me so much like I wanted him. His kiss gave me hope that he was really serious about me and he would stay with me forever. Though it was a mere thought, it was enough for me to trust on myself that I could make him stay with me for all my life.
I took out my cell phone to text Anna. I didn’t care even if she was sleeping, I wanted to tell it to her. I texted her “Hey!”
Immediately I got a reply from her. It’s late night but she was awake. I called her and she picked up my call.
“Anna!” I shouted.
“Whoa! What happened?”
“Harry and I… um… we kissed.” I said blushing.
“What? Are you serious? Oh my God! When?” Anna shouted excitedly.
“We went out and we kissed.” I started laughing happily.
“That’s really shocking. Guess your relationship is starting from now.” Anna replied.
“You know… while kissing I felt a lot of emotions and I saw the same in Harry’s eyes.”
“Wow Stella! I’m so happy for you. I wish you both love eachother and lead a happy life.”
I smiled hearing her then I asked “What are you doing? You are still awake.”
“What else will I do? Chatting with Roman. Moreover it’s Harry’s birthday. I stayed awake to wish him.” She laughed.
“Right.” I replied. We then kept talking for few minutes and she cut the call. After few hours of thinking about him, I nodded off.
By the time I woke up it’s already noon. My mom tried to wake me but I needed more sleep so I ignored her shouts. I stretched my arms yawning. Lazily I strolled to the washroom and freshened up. While I was getting ready, I heard Harry’s voice from the living room. Quickly I combed my hair and set my attire. Before I open the door to go out, he entered in.
I stopped moving when I saw him. He leaned to the wall looking at me.
“Hey!” He said smiling.
“Hey Harry! Happy birthday.” I smiled.
He nodded his head saying “Thank you.”
We both kept quiet for a moment. I was blushing recalling the kiss and about him, I guess he was thinking the same. He cleared his throat and said “Stella! Last night… I don’t know how you felt or what you are feeling right now. I want to request you to not be angry at me for the kiss.”
I strolled near him smiling. I held his hand looking at him. He narrowed his eyebrows not understanding what I was doing. I said “Harry! I’m your girlfriend. You have all the rights to kiss me. I’m not angry at you.”
“Are you serious?” he looked confused.
“Yes.” I smiled.
He let out a sigh hearing me. He held my face between his palms saying “Oh Stella! I didn’t sleep last time thinking you got angry on me. Now I’m relieved.” He rolled his eyes.
I chuckled hearing him and said “Oh poor Harry!”
He laughed hearing me and said “I shouldn’t have thought that much. It’s just a kiss.”
My face turned sad as soon as I heard him. It might be just a kiss for him but for me it’s something more. Then I saw the bracelet around his wrist that made me feel happy again. I held it saying “It looks good on you.” I remembered my drawing and said “I’ve something more to give you.”
I walked towards the sheet holder and took out the drawing sheet. I handed it to him gesturing him to open it. He did like I said. Looking at his picture his mouth dropped wide open. He was frozen for a moment that made me smile more.
“It’s fucking amazing.” He shouted looking at it.
I bent my head down smiling. He kept shouting “Stella! It’s really wonderful. You drew it?”
I nodded my head hearing him. He gave me a bone crushing hug after looking at his picture. I hugged him back smiling.
“Thank you so much, Princess.” He said without leaving me.
“My pleasure, Harry.”
He stood straight telling “There’s a party tonight. I informed your parents too. You all should come. After that, we are going to spend sometime with our friends. Jessie, Jennie… everyone is here.”
“Sure, Harry.”
We both strolled to the living room. He then left the house after few minutes.
I spent the day talking and roaming with Anna. Harry became busy with Roman and his all other city friends. It’s evening, Anna was still in my home as she was coming with us. We both were getting ready in my room. She wore a full length black frock in which she looked sexy.
“I think you are getting ready for Roman. Not for the party.” I laughed while applying my eyeliner.
She bent her head down blushing. I kept commenting on her. After I got ready, she looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
“What?” I shouted while holding my blue full length gown.
“It’s Harry’ birthday. Not yours.”
“Oh he is my prince. I should match him.” I rolled my eyes.
“Huh! God Stella! I never thought you would talk like this.” She laughed.
Anna straightened her hair whereas I fixed my hair as a messy bun and we strolled to the living room. My mom and dad were already waiting for us. We then started to Harry’s house.
I saw a lot of people there. Most of the town’s rich people were present in the party. Granny walked to us and took my parents inside whereas I was in the garden area along with Anna talking to our classmates. Out of all the people, my eyes started searching for him and there… I saw him.
He was in his black tux that made him look like a gentleman. He was surrounded by his friends and other men. Suddenly his gaze fell on mine and we both froze for a moment. He started strolling towards me smiling. He stood in front of me and took my hand saying “You look gorgeous, Stella.”
“You look handsome, Harry.” I smiled.
“Ahem…” Anna coughed while we both were looking at eachother. He turned to her saying “Anna! You look beautiful too. But you should be complimented by Roman not by me.”
She hit his arm shouting “Harry!”
Roman along with Harry’s friends strolled towards us. Roman’s eyes were fixed on Anna. Jessie, Jennie and their boyfriends were there too. We all started talking but was interrupted by Vickie.
“Hey handsome.”
I was shocked looking at her. I didn’t expect he would invite her too.
Vickie hugged him wishing. I kept looking at her angrily. Harry stood straight saying ‘Thank you.’
She kept blabbering some nonsense and Harry was humming as a response. I got irritated with him and strolled away. I sat on the chair drinking my juice ignoring everyone.
“Stella?” Harry walked towards me. He sat in front of me asking “What happened now?”
“I didn’t expect you would invite her too.”
“Come on! She is our classmate. How would she feel if I won’t invite her?” he rolled his eyes.
I kept silent not compromised with his words. He smirked saying “Don’t worry. I’ll remain as your boyfriend.”
I gave a sarcastic smile hearing him. Granny walked towards us shouting it’s time for cake cutting. He cut the cake and his birthday was celebrated. Everyone left after few hours even my parents but Anna and I stayed along with Harry’s friends.
We all were in the garden area enjoying. Granny went to her room after the celebration. Everyone was drinking except Anna and I. After dancing and drinking for many minutes, they all went high. They all fell on the couches in the garden area and started to sleep. Roman and Anna were talking to eachother. Harry walked to me while stumbling a bit.
“Hey!” I held him before he fell. He kept playing with my hair while saying “Stella! I want to sleep on my bed.”
“I can’t take you. If you fall on me, I will get crushed because of your muscular body.”
“Please.” He made his cute puppy face. I laughed looking at him and started to take that heavy body to his room.
After reaching his room I pushed his body to the bed and I felt like a feather with no weight.
While stretching my arms, I saw the drawing that I gifted him in frame, hung to the wall. I smiled looking at it. He held my hand pushing me to him. I fell on him and he wrapped his palms around my waist.
“Harry! Let me go.” I shouted trying to free myself but he was so strong.
He flipped me and my back hit the bed. He straddled over me saying “Stella! Why are you so special to me?”
“What? Harry leave me.”
“You are becoming so special to me, Stella. I’m prioritizing you over all others. I want you, princess.” Saying that he fell on the bed beside me.
My cheeks turned red with the situation. My lips curved up with smile hearing him. I sat on the couch asking “Do… do you love me, Harry?”
“I hate responsibilities. Love is one among them.”
I rolled my eyes hearing his stupid reply. At a certain point everyone will become responsible. When will he realize that?
“You didn’t answer me clearly. What if I propose you, Harry? Will you accept?” I asked but he didn’t listen as he drifted into sleep.
I stood from the bed and started to leave. I kissed his forehead saying “Good night, Harry.”
Anna and I left the place in the car that my dad left for us as they knew we would go late. After few minutes I dropped Anna then I reached my home.
