“Are you done yet?” Harry groaned from the other side of the door.
“Yes, yes, I just have a problem with the dress.” I rushed the words as I tried to zip the back of the dress.
“What problem?”
“I can't zip it.” I sighed.
“Get out, I'll do it for you.” he said.
My blood ran cold. My cheeks blushed and my body was shaking. Harry was going to see the back of my bra and exposed back. What if something comes on his mind? My body froze at the thought. Stupid ball. If it wasn't for this now I wouldn't have to go through this.
“Rebecca, we don't have much time.” he knocked the door twice, bringing me out of my thoughts.
I gulped loudly and took a deep breath. Please God don't let him do anything to me.
Slowly, I pulled down the door handle and opened the door, greeted by a well dressed Harry leaning against the doorway with his tie loosely hanging around his neck, his shirt was unbottuned on the top. My heart raced as we locked eyes. He looked down my body and then up to my face, then licked his lower lip and made me stare at his lips. He cleared his throat and I turned around, my heart pounding louder against my ribs.
I heard him taking a deep breath and his fingers touched slightly my skin, giving me goosebumps. I help my breath as he zipped my dress, taking a little longer than needed. I sucked in a breath when his fingers touched my sensitive skin again. I was scared, I had to admit. But his fingers were warm against my skin, sending a wave of an overwhelming feeling wash through me. When he finished, he cleared his throat.
“Done.” he said, his voice was softer than before.
I let out the breath I was holding and turned around to face him.
“Thanks.” My eyes landed on his tie. “Here, let me help you.” I reached to touch the tie but he took hold of wrist, scaring me.
“What do you think you're doing?” he asked in a low voice.
“T-tie your tie?” I said quietly.
He narrowed his eyes at me and stared into my eyes, studying me. He let go of my wrist and nodded, giving me the permission. I gulped and grabbed the tie, my fingers quickly doing their work. His eyes were burning me and I took a glance at him, my heart skipped a beat as we locked eyes. His breath was hitting my upper lip but I tried to ignore it. Once I finished, I looked up at him one more time and gave him a tiny smile before taking a step back.
“Done.” I said and he nodded.
“Let's go.” he said and walked towards the door.
Sighing, I followed him. He opened the door for me and I walked out of the hotel room to be greeted by the blonde girl we're literally using.
“Hello–oh wow, you're stunning.” she smiled at me and looked at my dress.
“Hi. Thank you.” I said, smiling awkwardly at her.
She made my makeup and hair before I got dressed. She didn't see my dress and she was really nice to me. I felt slightly guilty for making her do all this for me, Harry's rules. It was not right, but I couldn't do anything.
“No one enters the room. If you want to clean, go on. But no one else's getting in there.” Harry demanded and she nodded, her smile fading away.
“As you want.” she said and I frowned.
“Come on.” Harry grabbed my arm and led me towards the elevator.
We stepped in, he pressed the button and the elevator doors closed. It was awkward but I tried to ignore it. He was still holding my arm and it made me feel like a kid, wich really annoyed me.
“You don't have to hold me like that, it's not like I'm going to run away.” I said and he huffed.
“Believe me, I know better than anyone that you're not going to run.”
“I do believe you.” I rolled my eyes.
He chuckled and the elevator doors opened. We walked outside the hotel, him still holding me like a child. My eyes widened when I saw a very expensive car waiting for us outside. I knew it was Harry's because when I looked at him he was smirking proudly.
“I bet you payed a lot for this car.” I sarcastically said.
“Yes. It costs a lot.”
“And you gave nothing.”
“Exactly.” he opened the door for me.
I sat on the comfortable leather seat and looked around the car. It was amazing. Everything was perfect and very comfortable. Nothing like Ashton's Jeep. The thought of Calum's and Ashton's reaction for this car made me laugh. They would look like two kids that stare at their gifts on Christmas. But it was a punch on the side too, since they're not alive anymore..
Swallowing down the tears that were about to form in my eyes, I looked at myself in the riverview mirror and saw how sad I was. The pain in my heart was indescribable, there was no way I could ever forget those memories. My heart dropped down to my stomach and I felt like I lost the half of my life in that forest.
Harry jumped into the car and immidiately scanned my face. I tried not to look sad but I don't think I succeeded since he frowned lightly.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“Tell me.” he demanded.
“Nothing, Harry. I'm just thinking how crazy this all is.” I half lied.
“Hmm.” he hummed and started the egine, the car roaring to life.
“Wow.” I said as I felt the seat almost shaking underneath me.
“Yeah, I know baby.” he smirked and before I could think something about him calling me baby again, he started driving and I was pushed back on my seat.
God, this car is really fast.
“Can you not drive so fast?” I almost yelled so he could hear me on top of the engine.
”Sorry, can't hear you baby!” he yelled but I knew he was lying.
I tried not to smile as I stared at him grinning. He was having so much fun with this. Like a kid playing with a toy. But seriously, he was going to kill us.
“Where is this house anyway?” I asked, my voice escalating.
“It's a little outside the city.” he answered flatly.
“Do you know that dr.Royals?”
“Let's just say I have something for him.” he smirked evily, giving me chills.
“Harry...what are you going to do?” I asked worried.
“Take back what it's mine.”
...
The house is huge. Huge! It's beautifully decorated on the outside, the big front yard had many lights and some expensive cars, I think they were Ferrari. However, Harry offered me his arm when we both jumped out of the car and I accepted. He wore his Ray Bans and looked like a model that was holding me. I was so nervous when we stepped inside the luxurious house. So many expensive paintings, furnitures etc. It felt as if I was going to the museum.
“I don't know any of these people.” I whispered at Harry while we walked through the big hall, my eyes scanning the people.
He nodded. “Neither do I.”
“Then what are we doing here? Who invited you?” I looked at him confused.
He raised his brows and I understood immidiately. “You invited yourself, didn't you?”
“Yes, I did. But the words came out from that women's mouth, not mine.” he whispered to my ear.
“You compelt her to invite you?” I whisper-yelled and he shrugged.
“Yes.” he said and his eyes stopped on someone.
He clenched his jaw and felt his muscles under my arm that was looped around his tensing. He glared at someone which made me feel scared. I followed his eyes and saw an old man–not too old–he was about around his fifties. He had grey hair, a small grey beard, he was wearing glasses and a deep blue suit. His arm was looped around a girl's, a very sweet girl. She had dark brown eyes and long straight brown hair that were falling on her chest. She was wearing a white short dress with diamonds on the straps and white high heels.
“Time to act normal.” he whispered to me, his voice angry.
I gulped as he led me towards them. The man was talking and smiling to a young guy with short brown hair and brown eyes that was wearing a black suit and was holding a champagne glass in hand. He was really attractive and beautiful.
“Dr.Royals.” Harry said calmly when we approached them and the three of them turned to look at us.
I felt like a stranger in there. But honestly, I was. The girl looked at Harry and then at me. I gulped and gave her a small smile that she happily returned. I immidiately liked the girl.
“Good evening. Are you the young man Claire told me she invited?” he asked politely and I gulped.
“Yes. I'm Harry Styles.” he offered his free hand wich dr.Royals happily shook.
Styles? Harry Styles...Nice name.
“It's nice to meet you son.” he smiled and Harry clenched his jaw.
Oh oh.
“This is my friend's son, Liam.” dr.Royals pat the guy's shoulder.
Liam gave me a warm smile and I returned him a small one. He looked stunning in a suit, may I say. He offered his hand and Harry shook it.
“Nice to meet you, Styles.” Liam said and Harry nodded.
“And this here,” dr.Royals pulled his arm from around the girl's and wrapped it around her shoulders. “It's my grandkid, Ariana.” he said proudly.
I smiled at her as she offered me her hand. “Nice to meet you. Your name?” she asked gently at me.
I shook her hand. “I'm Rebecca. Nice to meet you too.” I answered politely.
Liam gave me another smile and a small nod before looking back at dr.Royals. “Now, excuse me, but I have to find my mother. She's somewhere drinking much more champaigne than needed, I suppose.” he laughed lightly, Ariana and dr.Royals joined.
“Karen was always the heart of the party,” dr.Royals shook his head with a grin on his face.
“I don't doubt it.” Liam chuckled and gave another nod to me and Harry before excusing himself.
“Now son, why don't I remember anything about the Styles family? Could you inform me a little so I could remember you?” dr.Royals said and Harry pressed his lips in a tight line.
Wrong thing to say dr.Royals!
“Ariana, do you mind give the young lady a tour?” dr.Royals asked.
“Sure, only if she wants to.” she looked at me with bright eyes.
I looked over at Harry with nervoussness eating away my stomach. He looked down at me and shrugged before pulling away his arm. I smiled and looked at Ariana.
“Let's go.” I said and she took my hand in hers before saying “see you later” to dr.Royals.
She led me through the big living room that was crowded by people dressed in expensive clothes. I thought all this was just a dream, buy every time Ariana squeezed gently my head I knew it wasn't.
“So, is this guy your boyfriend?” she winked at me and I furrowed my brows.
“Who?”
She rolled her eyes. “Harry! You two were holding arms.”
“Oh, no, no, no. We're not dating.” I said.
She shrugged. “Too bad. You look great together.”
“Thanks. But no, we...we are not the best couple.” I said, avoiding her gaze.
“What do you mean?”
Oh, just that he almost killed me 4 times and tortured me for a week and killed my best friends and now he's using me to take something from this house that I don't even know. That kind of relationship.
“We're completely different.” I shook my head.
“Oh, that's not a problem, actually. Everyone has his...flaws.” she chuckled lightly.
“Anyway, do you live here?” I changed the subject. I was too nervous to talk about me and Harry.
“No. I came to spend my holidays here. Next week I'm leaving back to New York.” she explained.
“Oh that's great. I've never been to New York.” I admitted.
“Really?” she widened her eyes. “Would you like to come for a visit sometime? I would love to hang out with you, you seem a really nice girl. Nothing compared to the other girls in here.”
“Thank you. You're really nice too. You don't have any friends here?” I asked as she pulled her hand away to grab two glasses of red wine from the buffét.
“No. They're all too fake for me. All predeting they're perfect and they care for everything their rich dad's are talking about. They're just not my type.” she made a grimace. “But you, you are so kind and cute. I like you.” she offered me the glass and I took it.
“Thank you, Ariana. I really like you too.” I took a sip from the wine. It's sweet.
“Oh please, call me Ari and I'll call you Becca, deal?” she raised her glass and took a sip.
I laughed. “Deal.”
“Let's go outside, it's too crowded here.” she said, taking my hand.
“Sure.” I followed her at the back yard wich was decorated with many colourfull lights, white tables and chairs, a big dancefloor and a pool.
“Wow.” I whispered as I stared with awe.
“Yeah, wow.” she chuckled as she led me to a table and sat down.
“This house is huge. I would be lost if it wasn't you.” I laughed lightly and she joined before placing her glass on the table.
I sat next to her and stared as some people came out and took their seats on the tables. I didn't even know if I should sit here. Was this table for me? Wasn't it? I had no clue, but Ariana looked calm so I tried to be too.
But my thought was back to Harry. What was he doing now? Was he compeling someone? Was he threating someone? The thoughts made me shiver but I quickly recovered it by taking a sip from the tasty wine. I was so nervous, I didn't want Harry to do anything stupid or wrong to anyone. How I wish I knew what he was going...
No Point of View
Harry was walking and having a conversation with dr.Royals outside the garden, him holding his hands behind his back anf dr.Royals moving his hands as he explained something about.
“And this son, it's where I want to build a hospital.” dr.Royals said, pointing to an empty plain a few meters away from his house.
Harry clenched his jaw at the word 'son'. He felt the anger rising slowly inside him and he wanted nothing but to kill dr.Royals right there, in front of everyone. But he had a plan and he didn't want it to go wrong.
“I heard that your family built a factory 40 years ago.” Harry said, his tone flat, emotionless.
“Oh yes, my family also built an experiment lab 60 years ago. I don't know much about it, but I know that it was something that had to do with technology.”
Techonology? My fucking body is their creation dick, Harry thought. His stomach turned at the mention of the experiment lab and because he knew what happen he wanted to hear it one more time.
“What happened to the experiment lab? I have to hear for it for a long time.” Harry lied, a ghost of an evil smirk playing on his lips.
“Ah,” dr.Royals sighed and grabbed a glass of champaigne from the table. “My father told me it was burned down, everyone died in there except..” he trailed off and lowered his stare, while Harry held back a laugh.
“Except?” he pressed, biting his lower lip in order to stop the smile from appearing.
“It was horrible for my family..” dr.Royals looked up at the sky and took a sip from his champaigne.
“I can imagine..” Harry murmured, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
“Anyways, where's your family from?” dr.Royals changed the subject.
Harry pressed his lips in a tight line. “I think I should go find Rebecca.” he ignored his question.
“Oh, they're probably sitting on our table. I'll show you the way.” dr.Royals offered.
“No, no, no. I'm fine, I have to make a call first.” Harry lied.
“Sure. Meet us at the back yard.” dr.Royals smiled and walked away.
Meet me at hell, Harry thought and walked to the opposite way.
Rebecca's POV
“We went on holidays last year, it was amazing.” Ari answered my question if she's been to Jamaica.
This girl has traveled the world and she's just 19 years old. While me, on the other hand, I've never been to half America. I lived in Florida for 17 years and came here last year. My life was horrible–and still is–while she had a life full of travelling, shopping and partying.
“Do you have any sisters or brothers?” I asked her and her eyes fell.
“No..I always wanted one though..” she was sad and I felt stupid for asking that question.
“I'm sorry I didn't want to upset you..”
“No, no, it's okay.” she assured me, placing one hand on my bare shoulder. “Do you have any sisters or brothers?”
“No.” I shook my head.
“Oh..well, you can be mine now.” she laughed lightly and I smiled.
“Sure, whatever you say, sister.” I teased and she laughed again.
“Hello girls, are you having fun?” dr.Royals appeared and sat next to Ariana.
“A lot.” Ari replied before taking a sip.
“The house is beautiful.” I said and he smiled warmly.
“Thank you.” he said and I felt a hand placing on my shoulder.
I turned around to see Harry smirking at me before my eyes landed on his hand. His knuckles had blood on them and my heart stopped.
Oh oh, what did he do?
