It's Latin

*Harry's Pov*

This guy had some nerve, I'd question Sam about the whole thing later, but now my mind was clouded with a feeling i couldn't explain.

"I won't get my hands of MY girlfriend, so back off." i growled, making sure to clarify 'my'. my words only made the guy laugh harshly as he came chest to chest with me. i felt sam try to pry her way between us, but there was no way i was going to back out of this battle.

"like she'd ever choose a prep over me." he snarled making my blood boil.

"she already has," i smirked, choosing to ignore the phrase i didn't quite understand. I watched as he grabbed sam's wrist pulling her away from my side in an instant. before any of us had the chance to move, he had pulled her forcefully up another block. i darted after them, hearing lacey call for sam. they seemed to be having an argument as he dragged her along. but i noticed she had said something to make him stop dead in his tracks, luckily for us. we easily caught up, and as soon as i could i wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her back to my chest.

"you knew i was leaving." sam stated, not acknowledging we were by her side again.

"and you knew i wasn't letting you go." the guy stated back. by now i could easily see that he was an inch shorter than i was, but still a few taller than sam. by now it was easy to tell what relationship she had with him, and i didn't like the thought of having to battle for her, especially since i had just went through this process with liam.

"i told you it was done." her voice held a solid chill that I wished she'd never have to use with me.

"i and told you i'd fight for you." he commented back, never taking his eyes off her's. "so let me rephrase, i'm picking you up at seven tonight. and you better be ready." he demanded. Sam visibly tensed as she thought carefully over her next sentence. God, i hope she doesn't agree.

"I already have other plans," she said standing straighter.

"what plans?" he laughed harshly at her attempt.

"i'm going to a movie with lacy today." she smiled lightly.

"have fun, but i'll still see you tonight."

"no, i have plans for tonight also."

"no you don't," he countered.

"yes i do."

"let me guess bed by 6:30?" he mocked her. i felt her shiver under his chilled tone.

"nope, i have a date." she stated. her words making me tense up. 'who the hell could she have a date with?" i demanded of myself. i took a mental note to bash the prick later. everyone should know by now to keep a distance from my girl.

"with who?" his voice demanding and rigid. i noticed as her confidence slightly diminished, only to be built back up with a small smirk.

"harry," she smirked, obviously knowing she had won this argument. i sighed in relief, though soon his eyes fell on me and my hold on her.

"we'll see about that." he mumbled storming away from us and to a dark blue pickup.

"ok, who the hell was that syco?" lacey asked once we had all recovered from the scene and were safely in the bookstore.

"Christian Marx" she stated mostly into my chest as she buried herself into my arms. i knew immediately that i'd always want to be her safe place to fall, even if the fall meant i would be the one to pick up all the pieces.

"so is this your way of asking me on a second date?" i teased watching as she began to blush ever so slightly.

"maybe." she poked back.

"and then the guy was all like 'and you better be ready'. i mean what type of guy is that?" lacey finished her rant to me and niall as we sat waiting for our movie to begin. she had been explaining the story to him for over half an hour, but none the less she had kept everything word for word.

"a tough guy." niall stated easily, popping a handful of popcorn into his mouth.

"he's not really that tough when you get to know him." i chuckled thinking back to all the times i'd seen christian jump at the odd sound that would come from one of the channels back when we'd roam the streets after midnight. the feeling of having an entire city all to yourself, and you could only share it with one person, made for some eerily pleasant nights. i'd have to roam homes chapel's abandoned streets with harry some night.

"really? he seemed so big and mean." lacey asked snapping me out of my thoughts entirely.

"are you kidding? the poor boy is afraid of anything that moves in the dark." i laughed as the opening credits started to roll, pushing everyone into a silence like no other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"and you're ready for another date." lacey smiled happily at the outfit she'd put together for me.

"you look really good." niall piped up from his spot on my floor. "hot even." he smirked as i threw a pillow at him.

"what perfume?" lacey asked holding up my collection once again.

"um, that one." i answered pointing to a rectangular bottle, as i heard the doorbell ring.

"could you tell harry to wait in the living room, i'm almost done." i asked niall as he disappeared down the stairs.

"ok, you're ready." she smiled at me, before handing me my purse. which thankfully was as simple as it could get. i heard harry's voice chat with niall downstairs and i felt more nervous than i did when we went out the first time. he looked at once i was about halfway down the staircase.

"my god, you loo-" he started, when a loud knock on the front door interrupted him. he easily turned, opening the door. in front of him i caught a glimpse of the one guy i wished would disappear.

"so you weren't lying about the date thing." christians voice sneered. before i even had to mutter a word at him he turned and left.

"well that was easier than expected. i thought i'd have to fight to the death with him." harry teased coming over to me finally. " you look absolutely stunning tonight." he commented a smile lighting up his face.

"we should get going." i offered leading him out the door, waving by to the friends i'd have to spill to later.

i have to admit this date has been the easiest one i'd ever gone on. Sam is just fantastic. her humor being shown in full force tonight as we ate dinner. the night was coming to an end unfortunatly as i pulled into her driveway. though neither one of us made a move to leave the vehicle.

"tonight was amazing, thank you." she stated, a small smile playing at her lips.

"it was my pleasure." i chuckled, gaining a small giggle to come from her. in an instant i found myself leaning forward, about to place a kiss on her lips. 'the first of many' i thought joyfully.
just as my lips were a centimeter from hers i felt her pull away, making my mind race.
