-RAVEN-
("I need to talk to you." Harper told me a while ago.)
Now, I'm sitting beside her as we observe the amazing view. I stare at the clear blue sky and take a moment to feel the cool breeze embracing me.
"Raven." Harpers soft and angelic voice hallows through my ears. -She reminds me so much of Amanda...-
"Yeah?" I keep my eyes shut.
"You remind me a lot of... someone." She quietly mumbles. -Of someone, huh?-
"I hope someone good." I say and smile as I stare at her.
Her blue eyes glimmer at me. She nods with an alluring smile on her reddish lips. "You bet! He is an angel."
I am curious, who that would be. "May I ask, who he is?"
"My elder brother." -She has an elder brother?- Her eyes flash sadness out after saying that. "He moved away to Canada to study there. It's really hard not to see him everyday."
"I'dfeel that way too, if I were in you." I honestly say and notice her staring at me.
"You really resemble him a lot."
"I feel honoured." I amusingly smile, making her laugh.
"I never knew that you were such a gentleman." She smirkes.
I grunt. "Why not?"
She checks me out for a moment. "I mean, you look rebellious. A troublemaker with your tattoos, leather jacket and dark aura."
I playfully act offended. "Wow. Is that supposed to be a compliment?"
She blushes and looks away. "Honestly, if I had a type then that would be you."
"A type?"
"Yeah. Sweet inside and yet scary outside." She giggles, making me blush. -She's dangerous and really straightforward. Noted.-
I just simply smile at her. "You make me sound like I'm a softie."
We decided to eat out afterwards.
I catch her staring at me from time to time on and whenever I stare back, she would either smile back or blush and look away.
It doesn't surprise me, why guys would chase her. She has that feminine vibe and cute side. -Irresistible.-
"W-What is it?" She stutters and heats up, after catching me staring at her.
-Damn. It doesn't matter how many times I try to improve my stalking skills, I just can't.-
"Nothing. I was just wondering." I grin.
"Wondering about what?" Her eyes flash curiosity out. -She reminds me so much of her... she would always give me that look, making me smile.-
"Why you are so damn cute." I unintentionally say and slightly regret being so direct.
Harper heats up and embarrassingly laughs. I can't help it, but smile at the cute sight. "Y-You're really smooth..."
"Prolly." I just shrug with my shoulders as I stuff myself with fries.
-I don't know why, but hanging out and teasing her makes me feel like we're getting closer.-
This time I sense her eyes on me and catch her. She smiles warmly at me. "Have you ever felt so... happy in your life?"
-Mostly, when I'm around with family and when I saw her...-
I smile at her as I talk. "Many times. Why?"
"Well..." She shyly looks away from me as she mumbles. "You just made me feel like it." -This woman really is something...-
My heart warms up after hearing that. I uncontrollably lift the corners of my mouth. "Smooth. You're damn smooth too."

I drove Harper to her home, since I didn't want her to use the public transport. I don't trust guys at this late hour. I admit, I don't want the day to be over. Harper and I have so much in common. Talking to her makes me happy.
"Thank you, for making my day." She genuinely smiles and hugs me. Her strong and sweet scent flow into my nostrils. I gently hug her back and just noticed, how fragile she actually is.
"The pleasure is all mine. We should hang out more often." I smile as she releases herself from me.
A slight pink shade, covers her pale cheeks. "Yeah. That would be nice." She checks her arm watch and then to her building. "I-I think... I should be going."
She apologises, but I just smile at her. "It's all right. I'll see you tomorrow."
Her lips curve up as she walks away.
-Darn it. I feel left alone again. Watching her walk away kinda tightens my heart. I can't explain it either... We kinda got used to each other and decided to meet up as much as possible...Wait a minute.-
"Harper!" She turns around to look at me. "What did you wanted to tell me? I mean, you told me that you had to talk to me." I rub the back of my neck, since I sound like a damn creep. -Gosh!-
-I just remembered the actual reason, why we met up. It sounded like it was important and through out our whole conversation, I almost forgot to ask her.-
Harper walks back to me and smiles.
"I don't know, if I should tell it now
..."
-I'm curious.- I tilt my head to the side as I stare at the shy girl before me. "I wanna know."
She nervously laughs and shakes her head. "No, not now."
-Huh?-
"Please?" I playfully frown, making her laugh.
"Just because you look cute." She says and then sighs. "I know this sounds weird... Have you ever felt... so attached to someone, like crazy?"
-Attached... If she means that what I'm thinking... The piano girl, the music room...-
"Yes." I admit and she looks at me.
Her blue eyes spark as she smiles. "I can't explain..." -Aww...-
"Take your time." I say, but she looks away from me. -Did I say something wrong?-
She quietly mumbles something, making me walk close towards her just to hear what she's saying. "....I'm afraid I can't... not any longer."
"Harper." I place my hand to her shoulder.
It happens all too sudden, she looks at me and the next thing she does actually shocks me. She pressed her lips to mine and placed her arms around my neck. Her sweet taste and the way she kisses overwhelms me. Her touch excites me, making me yearn for more. The lust between us is way too strong.
-She blows my mind. She's dangerous, seductive and damn sexy... I could start new and make her mine....Shit!-
She suddenly releases her self off me an stares with pure disappointment in her eyes. "W-What is wrong?"
I noticed, that I suddenly backed away from her. -What the heck?... I was tangled in the rhythm though...- My heart feels heavy and somehow I feel guilty for some reasons.
-How could I?...-
"I'm sorry." I then say, making her stare blankly at me. "Harper, I can't-"
"I understand." She just smiles at me and looks away. "You still haven't gotten over someone, right?"
I feel bad for upsetting her. "Yeah."
Her eyes slightly tear up, making me feel much more worse than I already am. -FUCK! WHY AM I ALWAYS DOING EVERYTHING WRONG!?-
"Is it Amanda Miller?" She suddenly says. -How did she-...?-
I widen my eyes in surprise and part my lips open. "How did you know?"
A hurtful smile pops on her beautiful face. "It was obvious... the looks you gave her through out the year and the sudden change, when she's not around you. I knew it, but I never wanted to accept it."
-She exposed me.-
"It wasn't my intention to hurt you." That's the only thing I can say to her.
-Darn it! I used her as my distraction... I'm such an asshole!- "When I said, you deserve a man, who can treat you right. I didn't mean myself. Harper, I can't love you fully. My heart belongs to someone else. I'm really... sorry."
She forcefully nods as she wipes her tears away. -FUCK! I HATE IT! WHY DO I HAVE TO HURT PEOPLE?!-
"Why Amanda? She left you twice!"
I hear the venom drained in her voice as she spotted that out. -She really hates her... Crystal was right.-
I internally curse myself for being so stupid. I managed to send her a smile anyways. "It doesn't matter to me how many times she hurts me. I will always be waiting for her."

-AMANDA-
"You really don't feel well?" Charles gently squeeze me with his arm as I place my head to his chest.
"Don't know." I quietly mumble and try my best not to groan. The pain is killing me.
-Yes, I am on my period.-
"Does it hurt much?" He asks and I nod. "I don't know much about menstrual pain, but I heard that heating pads and some painkillers can minimise the pain. Want me to get some?"
I shake my head and squeeze his huge body tighter. "Nuu uhh." -I don't want him to leave.-
I hear him chuckle, making my head vibrate since I'm resting my head on his chest.
-I can't believe we're together for a month already... I never knew, that love was this wonderful...I may have lost people, who are important to me, but I think It was worth it, if it means to keep Charles beside me.-
I feel his hands carefully running through my back as I shut my eyes.
Unluckily, it didn't last any longer.
"Wait here, love." He gently places my head to the pillow and stands up from my bed.
"Where are you going?" I ask and already miss the warmth of his body that was surrounding me.
A small smile appears on his lips as he kisses my head. "I'll be back soon. Rest for a while, okay?"
-He's always so sweet and caring. He takes days off, just to stand beside me. Isn't he the sweetest?-
I smile at him and watch him walk to the door. "Okay."
______________________________________
I just woke up with a whole pack of sweets, soft bread, some painkillers, pads, water bottles and a warm tea on my table.
"You bought all of these?" I unbelievably ask and stare at my boyfriend.
He hands me a pill and water as he takes a seat next to me. A smile appears on his lips as I carefully take it. "Yeah."
-This reminds me so much of... Raven. That time where he caught the stain behind me and even took care of me... Ugh! Embarrassing!... I kinda miss him... NO,NO,NO! STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM! HE HAS HARPER WILLIAMS REMEMBER!?... YOU HAVE CHARLES!-
I shake my head, making Charles stare confusingly at me. I hastily cover my embarrassed face with a smile and take the glass and painkiller from his hand.
I chug the pill and water. "Thank you." I blush and kiss him. He returns the kiss gently, making me want more. -Gahh! He's killing me!-
"You should rest for now. It must be tough going trough that." He says as he gently runs his fingers through my messy hair.
"No, not really. " I smile. "When you have a caring boyfriend, who can lighten your mood up like mine, then everything will be fine." I joke, making him laugh.
"Just rest already. I know exactly that you're in pain." He says and tries to braid my hair.
I grab the 'Hershey's' and open it. "Want one?"
He secures my hair with a hair tie and wraps his hand around my shoulders as I lean next to him. "You know that I don't eat sweets."
-Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. My boyfriend never eats 'fatty' stuff because my dad might kill him. Yet, I actually forced him to eat the last time we bought sweets.-
"Not if I'm around." I say, making him roll his eyes.
"True." He then smikres and leans closer, making my heart accelerate. His melodic voice drums into my ears.
"You're sweetness is way too much. Stop killing me, will ya?"
-ARGH! WHY DOES HE ALWAYS DO THIS!-
I blush and push him away. "Stop flirting!"
He laughs and gently kisses my forehead. "I love you too."
