Tessa's POV

I look up at Harry and immediately get up.

"Fuck!"

"Shit!"

All I hear is a streamline of curse words from Harry and then he starts shoving on his clothes.

I look up and see blue lights flashing behind us and I freeze.

"Tessa, what are you doing? Can you put your damn clothes on please?!"He yells.

He shoves his dress-shirt that he was wearing earlier over his head and practically shoves my dress over my head yelling at me to get dressed.

"Oh my god, Harry what is happening?" I say completely stunned.

"What's happening? Tessa will you open your goddamn eyes? The fucking cops are right behind our asses!" He yells in my face.

"How did this happen?" I stammer trying to get the words out. 

"This is all my fault, I shouldn't have let it get this far. I can't go to jail again Tessa!" He zips up my dress and pulls both of us to the front seat.

"Harry, I don't know what I'm going to say to them, I've never been in this position. I've never had to explain myself to cops." I cover my face with my eyes to prevent the sobs that I feel coming on. 

"I don't want to cry anymore." I say quietly and pull my legs to my body. 

I hear the police car come to a stop.

"Tessa, baby I need you to focus right now. I need you to be calm in front of the cops. If he senses  that anythings off with you, he's going to keep asking questions and god knows how you'll  burst into tears if he asks us something stupid like where we are from. Just relax, I need you to relax. For all we know he could be pulling us over because I was speeding or a tail-light was out."

"Okay, I understand." I say quietly. 

"Harry why are you acting so calm? Like how do you know so much about this?" I say

"Tessa, don't forget I've dealt with more cops in my life than you've had to. I had a dark past. And last time I cussed out a cop I ended up in jail, remember?" He says.

I nod my head and look at him.

I hear the crunch of the policeman's footsteps in the gravel as he walks up the side of the car.

"Ready?" Harry says, rubbing my hand.

"Yeah." I say.

"Jesus christ." Harry says

"What? What is it?" I say, frantically.

"The man has the largest beer belly I've ever seen, I swear his belt looks like it's about to pop out and hit the side of my car." He says.

I roll my eyes and the footsteps continue. 

Harry rolls down the window and the officer lowers his head so he is eye-level with Harry. From the looks of him, he looks like stereotypical officer who eats donuts behind a desk and has never worked out a day in his life.

He has a stern look on his face when he says, "Hello, how are we doing tonight?"

"Hey officer we are just fine, what seems to be the problem." Harry says, with an equally stern face.

The whole time Harry's keeps his hand on my leg and its calming to say the least. 

"Well, there seems to have been a complaint." He says.

He pauses and looks at the yellow piece of paper he is holding and continues talking.

"Someone called up the station and reported a complaint for public indecency." 

"Public indecency?" Harry questions.

"You do realize that we are inside of a car right? Being inside of a car is not a public place." Harry says, challenging the cop.

"Well actually, according to New York law, if caught while engaging in any type of public indecency, in a car or not, is grounds for arrest." He says with a slight grin.

"So because I wanted to fuck my girlfriend in a car and someone got annoyed and decided to call you guys, we are going to get arrested?"

"Yes, unfortunately it does look like that is the small situation we have on our hands." The officer says.

Harry scoffs.

"Small situation? My girlfriend and I are going to get arrested, I don't really call that a small situation." Harry grits his teeth and turns to look at me.

"Sir, I am sorry that this has happened to you and your girlfriend, but if you break the rules, you go to jail. That is it and final."

"No! We don't have to go to jail because we were not doing anything illegal!" Harry yells in the officer's face.

"Okay, so you know what? Your right, we don't have a small situation on our hands, I can either arrest you on one count of public indecency or I can add an additional count for disrespecting a federal officer." The cops says and starts righting some things down on his yellow paper.

Oh god, my stomach starts turning and I begin to feel queazy. 

"Fine! Go ahead and arrest us! Just know that I have a great lawyer and we're gonna sue you guys for arresting under the incorrect charges! This situation is just fucked up!" Harry yells and slams his hands on the car wheel

I see the cop take out two sets of handcuffs and my heart drops. 

"Baby I'm so sorry. We can figure this out and everything will be alright. I promise. We'll get out of this." Harry says to me.

"Will you two please step out of the vehicle?" 

Harry and I both get out of the car and the cop puts the handcuffs on Harry first and then myself. We all walk to the cop's car and I look over at Harry and he is fuming and still arguing with the cop.

We get into the cop car and the cop starts up the engine.

So this is it, I am really getting arrested for the first time and surprise surprise Harry is involved. 

The cop starts driving and I hang my head low, not looking at Harry for one second, trying to keep my focus on how the hell I am going to explain this to my family and Harry's.
