Oblivious

21

Violet's POV

I didn't say anything as I looked at Harry. Neither did he, so I thought it would be best if I were to break the silence. 

"Congratulations," I murmured. He nodded and looked down.

"Thanks," he muttered.

"You don't seem too happy," I observed as he slowly brought his gaze around the room before it settled on me. He let out a shrug and shook his head.

"Well, what do you want me to say?" 

"Maybe be happy that you're engaged? It seems like you only married her out of spite," I retorted. 

"Why does it matter to you if I did?" I looked at him with a bewildered expression on my face and he smirked as he looked at me and shrugged.

"You're jealous," he smirked, walking closer to me, "you're jealous over the fact that I'm not yours to claim, aren't you?"

I rose my hand and brought it across his face, the slap echoing in the silent room. He looked down and clenched his jaw as he brought his face up to mine and I felt tears brewing as I stared at my best friend.

"How dare you," I whispered, "how fucking dare you? I'm not the type of girl to ruin a relationship so I can build my own. You want the truth? Fine, here it is."

He looked at me with a solemn face and I took in a deep breath, shivering with anger. 

"The truth," I took in a deep breath, "the truth is that I have been going crazy about you since grade school, alright? Grade school. But you never seemed to notice and I was alright with that, wanna know why? Because your happiness meant the world to me and I was not going to be selfish and try to break up each of your relationships so I could be happy. I would never mean to hurt you or anything but this, this is just ridiculous. You're engaged now, whether you did it out of spite or not, you are going to be married. So act like it."

I turned around on my heel and headed into the kitchen, smiling at Jace and Bella as they turned to me. I headed over to the fridge and heard Harry's steps behind me as I opened it and pulled out a can of soda. I turned to find Harry seated at the island as Bella placed her head on his shoulder. He smiled at her and looked at me with a stoic expression. 

"So," Jace smiled at me, "wanna go upstairs? Leave the new couple to themselves."

"Oh yes please," Bella beamed squeezing Harry's arm and smiled. Harry looked at me with a glint in his eye as he watched me leave with Jace.

"So this is your room," Jace said as he smiled and looked around. I nodded and went to my bed and sat down on it. He smiled and made his way over to me, sitting down next to me as he looked at me.

He leaned over and pressed his lips to mine and I froze. My eyes slowly began to close as he turned his body and kissed me. His hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me slightly closer as I sighed and wrapped mine around his neck. He grunted and pushed me down onto the bed hovering over me slightly as he kissed me. 

I couldn't help but feel like this was wrong as I had just gotten through everything that had went down with Harry. But at the same time, I felt like I deserved it. 

I kissed him harder, smiling as he squeezed my waist and he pulled away to peck my nose lightly. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of hurt run through me as I thought of Harry. 

"That was nice," Jace whispered, nudging his nose with mine. I smiled and nodded, holding on to his shoulders as he hovered over me. 

"It was."

"I'd, erm," he paused, "I'd like to do that more often."

I blushed as did he and he looked at me before he smiled softly. I bit my lip and his gaze flickered to my mouth.

"I'd like that too," I found myself saying. He smiled and leaned over, pressing his lips to mine once more as he smiled. He sat up and I did too, brushing my hand through my hair as he fiddled with his fingers. 

"I," he mumbled something to himself as he looked at me, "fuck it. I like you. A lot. I know we've only known each other for a short amount of time but I want to know you. I want to work on a relationship with you and-"

"I'd like that too," I whispered, fumbling with my shirt. 

I deserved to be happy.

"You...you do?" he looked at me with a shocked face and I giggled before nodding.

"Yeah."

He nodded and took in a deep breath, brushing his hands over his legs, and he nodded.

"Cool.."

He smiled at me again and looked at his watch, "it's late. And from what I know, you start work tomorrow. I should get going and let you rest up."

I nodded and smiled when he leaned down to kiss my lips. He brushed his fingers across my cheek and he smiled, kissing my forehead before he left. 

I sighed and flopped back onto my bed. 

"What is going on?"
