"Addie, do you want to go to the shopping center with me?" My mom asks just as I get home from school.

"I actually have plans tonight." I smile. I rarely have plans on a Friday night, unless I am babysitting or going to the coffee shop to study.

"Addie Marie!" My mom gasps with surprise. "Did you make friends? What are you doing?" She smiles and folds her hands together with excitement.

"I'm going to a party, my friend Max is picking me up at eight."

"Max, like a boy? Does he like you? Details, now!"

"No, he's just a friend mom!" I whine. I knew she would have a field day when I told her. "I'm probably not going to stay long, I just want to see what people do here.."

"I'm proud of you kiddo." She smiles.

"It's just a party, mom." I roll my eyes. "But I'm going to go get ready." I dismiss myself and go up to my room.

I have a feeling all of the girls there are going to be dressed up and have their hair and makeup done to perfection. I'm not nearly as pretty as the girls at my new school, so I actually have to try. I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard though, so I decide on some skinny jeans and a tank top. I'll most likely end up putting on a sweater, but for now, I look pretty good. I touch up my hair with the curling iron and put on a little more mascara before I decide I look half way decent.

I'm actually a little nervous though, I have no idea what to expect. Max said we can leave whenever I want to though, so that comforts me a little.

Just as I spray myself with my favorite perfume, my phone vibrates on my side table with a text from Max saying he's here to pick me up. My stomach fills with nerves, and I try to convince myself it will be fun.

"Okay, bye mom!" I wave as I leave the house.

"Bye sweetie! No drinking or drugs! No sex! Be safe and make sure to stay with your friend the whole time!" She yells out to me.

I roll my eyes and laugh as I walk outside into the cool air. I'm just glad my dad is working late tonight, because I know he would have a much more serious set of rules for me. He enjoys the fact that I would much rather stay at home and study on a Friday. He's very overprotective, but I can't blame him; I'm his only daughter, his only child for that matter. He's just doing his job.

"Wow, Addie, you look great." Max smiles as I get into the passenger seat of his car. I can't help but blush with his compliment.

"Thanks." I smile. I would tell him he looks good too, but I feel awkward. He really does look good though. "So where is this party at?" I begin to make small talk.

"It's at Liam Payne's house."

"Oh, he hangs out with Harry, right?" I think he was with Harry and Louis that day I met them.

"Yeah, I don't know why though." Max chuckles and I join in. I don't understand how anyone would want to hang out with Harry. He's a jerk.

"Well here it is, are you ready?" We pull up to a pretty large home only a few minutes away.

There are a ton of cars parked along the street in front of the house, and it makes me much more nervous thinking about all of the people that will be here... Including Harry.

"Ready as I'll ever be." I mutter and get out of the car.

"We don't have to stay for very long." he offers and I nod in appreciation. I need to at least experience a little of this party before I go running back home.

I remain silent as we walk up to the house. I can already hear the blaring music and the inebriated teenagers from outside. I really hope I won't regret my last minute decision to come here..

"Wanna meet my friends?" Max yells over the music to me. I nod and he grabs my wrist so he doesn't lose me as we maneuver through the people in the house.

"Addie, this is Jackson, Luke, Kyle and George." Max introduces me to a few of his friends.

They all give me a polite "hello," and I smile back. They all hold red plastic cups, and I become a little uncomfortable when one of them, Kyle I think, offers me a drink. I politely decline his offer.

"Hey, I'm going to go find the bathroom." I yell into Max's ear.

"Do you want me to show you where it is?" He asks.

"No that's okay." I smile and leave him and his friends.

I probably should have let him show me where it is, but I need some time to think. I've been here for a good ten minutes, and I am so overwhelmed already. The smell of alcohol is invading my senses and the music is giving me a headache. I really want to go, but I don't want to force Max to leave his friends just to take me home because I can't handle the loud music.

I step out into the backyard to get some fresh air, and to my relief there's only a few people back here conversing on the patio.

"Is that Adelaide? I must be imagining this!"

Oh great.

"Yes Harry, it's me." I roll my eyes and turn around to see him.

"So you're boyfriend convinced you to come, yeah? Wow, that must've been a tough battle." He laughs and I can smell the alcohol on his breath.

"For the last time he isn't my boyfriend. And I wanted to come."

"Okay, okay." He holds his hands out. "But if you wanted to come, then what are you doing out here?" He questions.

"I.. Was looking for the bathroom." Yep, and I ended up in the backyard? Good one, Addie.

"Sure," he chuckles. I'm glad I'm amusing him. "I'll show you where it is." He turns around and begins to walk back inside.

I follow him only because if I go to the bathroom he will leave me alone.

"Someone's in here, I'll show you the one upstairs." We walk by the closed door of the bathroom on the main floor.

He leads us up the steps and I notice there is no one up here except a couple that looks like they just had sex coming out of one of the rooms. Oh god.

"Right here." He smiles and opens a door.

"Uh, this is a bedroom. Are you really that drunk?" I have to laugh.

"I know. And I'm not that drunk baby." His smug grin remains on his face.

"Okay, I'm going to go find the bathroom then."

"Wait." He stops me in my tracks. He doesn't pull me back, or make any contact with me for that matter, but he stops me with his words.

"What?" I look at him.

"I'm sorry."

Am I drunk too? I must be imagining this! Those words did not just come out of his mouth!

"Oh really! For what, Harry?" I laugh.

"For being an ass..." his admission shocks me. It must be because he's drunk, but he seems absolutely sincere with his apologize.

His hand moves to the back of his neck, and he looks almost nervous as I stand there.

"Say something." He prompts.

"You're not serious... Monday you're going to go back to being a jerk to me for no reason. It's inevitable."

"No I won't.." He shakes his head, causing his hair to flop around.

"And I'm supposed to believe you? You've been nothing but cruel to me since I've known you." I stand a few feet away from him with my arms crossed over my chest as he sits on the edge of the bed.

"I know," he pushes his hair back with his fingers. "I just... I don't know why I'm a dick, I just am."

"Yes you are." I laugh. "I'm going to go to the bathroom." I tell him, but I'm not sure why I feel the need to. It's not like I need his blessing.

"Wait, I'm sorry, okay?" His tone is enough to get me to turn around again and stay in my place.

"Why? Why are you all of a sudden sorry? You don't strike me as the type of guy to apologize."

"Because... I don't want you to hate me."

"And why is that, Harry?"

"Isn't it obvious?" He stands up from the bed and walks over to my slowly. His eyes never leave mine. I feel like I need to run out of this room, but I'm frozen again. Just like the night he kissed me, my feet are stuck to the ground.

I hate this guy, the way he gets on my nerves on purpose and makes fun of me. But the way he's looking at me, and how he's so close to me, makes my stomach do flips. No one has ever looked at me or touched me the way he has. The feelings he gives me are indescribable. I've never felt like this.

"It's not obvious?" He whispers, his face just inches away from mine. I shake my head, not trusting my voice as he places his hands on my waist.

"I find you incredibly attractive, Adelaide." His eyes burn into mine. "Those lips," his voice is quiet as he touches his thumb over my bottom lip. "Everything about you, really." He grins and traces his finger across my jaw bone and down my neck.

"I know you like the way I touch you, even if you deny it." His hot breath hits my ear and I feel his hand cup my breast over my shirt. "You like it, don't you?" He asks, but I stand completely frozen.

"I like it when you touch me." His voice is full of lust as he removes his hand from my bust and takes mine, bringing to to his chest. He then drags it down his torso, and stops it just over the growing bulge in his jeans, just like he had in my bedroom a few nights ago.

In this moment, I'm completely at his mercy. My body takes over and leaves my mind to watch from the sidelines. My body is telling me to loosen up and live a little.

He smiles when I don't attempt to remove my hand from his area. I'm surprised I haven't moved it either, but then again; I'm not. The desire is building in the pit of my stomach, and it feels strangely good. Whatever he's doing to me, I like it.

He slowly inches towards me and in seconds, his lips are on mine. My eyes close with the sensation as he moves his lips with mine. I don't know what has gotten into me, but I begin to kiss back. I can feel him smile against my mouth when I removes my hands from his jeans and bring them to his hair. A throaty groan is released from his mouth as he begins to kiss my neck.

"You're so hot, Addie." He breathes against my neck and skims his large hands down my sides. "Let me make you feel good, baby." His voice is deep.

He wants to make me feel good? More than he already is? How? A panic plays on my face when his hand brushes over my jeans between my thighs.

"I wish you would have worn that dress of yours." He takes the lobe of my ear between his teeth, and I can't stifle the moan before it escapes my lips.

"Take the jeans off." He demands.

When his dark eyes look into mine, I finally snap back into reality and I step back.

"Do you want me to?" He grins and steps towards me again.

"I should go find Max..." I point towards the hall and continue to back away from him.

"But we're just getting started?" He frowns. "Come on, stay for a little longer?"

"I need to go." I quickly say and leave the room. Once I get out, I practically run downstairs in search for my ride home. I need to leave.

How far was I going to let Harry go? How far was I going to let myself go? I'm not denying that I did not like that, because the pleasure he made me feel... Was amazing. But he was drunk, and he's an asshole to me. Where have my morals gone? I've never just 'hooked up' with a guy, let alone a guy who treats me like shit and also hooks up with a different girl on a daily basis. I can't believe I let him kiss me again, and I can't believe I kissed him back. What has gotten into me?

"Addie, are you okay?" Max looks worried when I return.

"Yeah, I was just talking to someone I met. Hey, um, do you think you could take me home?"

"Of course, are you sure everything's okay? You look a little pale..."

"Yeah I'm fine." I force a smile.

He asks no more questions and simply leads me back to his car. I'm really grateful I came with him.

"Thanks for taking me home, I hope I didn't ruin your night." I try to apologize.

"No, you didn't. The party was getting kind of lame anyway." He smiles. I feel odd that he's walking me up to my door... Hopefully my parents aren't watching through the window.

"Well... Have a goodnight Addie."

"You too, Max. Thanks again." I smile and awkwardly unlock my door as he waits there.

"Goodnight." He says again after pressing a quick kiss to my cheek and walking back towards his car. Oh.

See, why can't Harry be like Max? A gentleman who is actually nice to me. I find myself comparing the two, and my mind keeps trying to find more pros in Max over Harry, but the one thing that I can't get over is the feelings they each give me. I should be gravitating towards Max because he is much more my type, and he treats me properly. But Harry makes me feel.. Amazing. The way he kissed me like no one else has was something I never thought I'd like, but I did. Even though he's an ass, something about him makes me attracted to him, as dangerous as I know he may be.
