It's been a few days since all the drama with Amy, luckily things have calmed down a little.Amy text me yesterday claiming she has told Joe about everything she has done, apparently he went mad and now his cousins are even more mad at her. But I don't think they will do anything as Amy said she would call the police. I guess she feels as if she has to protect herself, it's just mad how she managed to get herself in such a mess. I know deep down Joe will never let it drop, I just hope Amy doesn't get hurt.

Anyway, it's the weekend and I'm quite excited as Mum and Dad have gone away for a three day break down the coast. So Harry and I have the house to ourselves, we've invited a few of my friends over, some of them he hasn't met yet but I know he'll be fine meeting them. Amy is coming too as we've decided to put everything behind us. I'm still a little wary of her but I can't accuse her of someone thing that I have no evidence of.

"I've put the alcohol in the kitchen on the side, are you putting food out on the breakfast bar?" Harry asks as I'm currently hiding anything that could easily break. Just Incase one person decides to get out of hand, I don't want them breaking anything that I know I can't replace.

"Yeah probably." I say as I look I over to him. I smile as I feel little flutters in my stomach, he's so perfect to me and tonight I think we could actually get a little more closer. We stopped each other last time, although my head was screaming at me to carry on, I know with the house being empty it will be easier to relax. I'm not going to let him know I'm planning on sleeping with him tonight, I want to surprise him.

"Cool. So when are people meant to be arriving?" Harry asks as he walks up to me and pulls me into him, his hands rest on my tailbone as I wrap my arms around his neck.

"I said for about six?" I glance at the time as it's half five. It won't be long now till the house has a few more people. It's not a house party or anything like that, it's having a few friends over to enjoy some drinks and food, and to chill out of course.

"So we have half an hour.." Harry winks as he leans down and starts to kiss my neck. I close my eyes as he learns I'm sensitive to his kisses in that spot. My hands dive into his hair, god I love his hair, and I cup the back of his head with my hand as I pull him closer to me. I feel his hands trailing down my back and I let my hands wander down his body. I lift the bottom of his t shirt and I touch his skin, he flinches at my touch and I smile.

Wait, I don't have time for this. If I'm going to surprise him later then I want to look as good as I can. I gently pull back and look at him as he stops, he looks disappointed. "It's not fair, I have to live with you and I can't do anything." He says as he sighs.

"I would love too Harry but we've only got half an hour to get ready." I quickly kiss him and I let go as I start to leave the kitchen, I smile to myself as I know how frustrated he must feel. I quickly run upstairs and I notice the pain has calmed down a lot, it's not as bad as it was and I can actually move fast without getting a sharp pain.

Harry's POV
How can she leave me like that? She knows how bad I want her and I thought with her parents away that would have been one of the things we would have actually thought about doing. Is it wrong to want to sleep with someone so much? I just want to wrap my arms around her and explore her body. I can just imagine how perfect her body is underneath her clothes, how good it must feel to be so close to her. Fuck I need to stop thinking like this otherwise I'm going to drive myself insane.

I look down as I let my imagination get carried away and I've made myself too excited. Think of something to distract you Harry..

What about Miss Maple from across the road back at home, she sits in her chair all day and knits jumpers. Every Christmas she knits us a personal stocking, completely oblivious that we aren't kids anymore. I bet Stephanie looks good in stockings, obviously not the knitted ones but she would drive me crazy dressed up in- Fuck! I'm supposed to be distracting myself from her.

"Harry are you not answering the door today?" Stephanie asks as she walks in the kitchen and I jump, I quickly pull my top down trying to cover myself.

"Sorry Steph, I'm in my own world." I say as I look at her. She's wearing a tight fitted top which doesn't help me at all, I love her in her skinny jeans. I shake my head, what the hell is wrong with me?

"Come on Harry get ready." She rolls her eyes and then leaves to answer the door, I didn't even hear anyone knocking. I quickly leave and head upstairs.

Stephanie's POV

"Chloe! Lucy!" I excitedly put my arms and we share a three way hug. I haven't seen them for so long it's made me realise how much I have missed them.

"I brought my cousin Niall with us, is that okay?" Chloe asks and I look behind them to see a blonde guy, he waves and I can't believe how attractive he is, I wave back and I remember this is Chloe's cousin from Ireland. I've heard so much about him as Chloe used to live in Ireland but her family moved here because they had a job opportunity for her Mum.

"Of course, come on in." I smile as they step inside.

"Niall meet Stephanie, Steph meet Niall." Chloe says as she and Lucy take their coats off. I look to Niall and he holds his hand out politely.

"Nice to finally meet you Niall." I say as I shake his hand, his soft skin surprises me.

"You too Stephanie." The way he says my name in his accent makes me a little weak at the knees. Oh why did Chloe bring him? It's like being teased at something you can't have. Although I'm not one of those girls where I'd ever be disloyal to Harry, I don't believe in cheating on people. If you're not happy with the person you're with then just end it before moving on with someone else. But there is no harm in having a sneaky look at people, as long as it stays harmless, right?

"We've missed you!" Lucy says as we head into the kitchen. I look at her and I start to explain how much I missed them too. They're such nice girls and they sort of went away from Amy and I because they used to get a little fed up with Amy.

"Help yourselves to drinks. " I say as I grab the pizzas from the fridge and I start to prepare them. I don't care that these three are early, it's so good to see them.

"So where's this Harry then? Amy's mentioned him on facebook about how lovely he is and how they're such good friends" Chloe rolls her eyes as I look at her and I felt my stomach turn. I ignore it and I smile.

"He's upstairs." I say but I can hear him making his way downstairs. "Harry!" I call and I smile as he appears in the doorway. Just by seeing him I know I could never feel about anyone else like I do with Harry, no matter how attractive Niall is. "This is Harry." I say and Harry smiles to them and I start to introduce them to each other.

"Good to meet you." Harry says as he gets to Niall and they shake hands. "Thank god there's another dude." He smirks.

"Yeah looks like I've saved you buddy." Niall laughs and Harry does too. Theres another Knock at the door and Lucy looks at me.

"I'll get it." She smiles and I thank her as I join the conversation with Harry as he asks Niall how he finds it living in Manchester.

"Hiya everyone!" We all look to see Amy smiling as she walks in the kitchen, Lucy follows her and doesn't look too enthusiastic about her entrance.

Amy's outfit is outrageous, she's got the skimpiest dress on that I have ever seen in my life. It leaves nothing to the imagination and I actually feel quite intimidated. "Hey babe" Amy smiles as she hugs Harry. Babe? Really?

"Amy.." Chloe says acknowledging her. Amy smiles in her direction and hugs me, she then stops to Niall.

"I'm Amy.." She smiles as she hugs him, he looks at us and smirks as if he has no idea what to think about her. I laugh quietly as she hugs Chloe then Lucy, even though she knows they don't get on too well.

"I've invited a few people, I hope you don't mind." Amy says as the door suddenly opens and I see James, Jason and people I don't even talk to walking in.

"Amy?! What the hell?!" I snap as people continue to walk inside and Amy knows my house inside out as she connects her iPhone to our iPod Dock in the kitchen, she puts the music on and turns it up loud.

"Come on guys, live a little!" She smiles as she grabs the drinks and begins to pour some into the plastic cups we've bought. "We can order a dominios as that pizza won't be enough" she says as she looks at me. I roll my eyes and Harry squeezes my hand.

"Harry.." Jason says as he walks up to us, he holds his hand out. "Good to see you.." Jason adds and Harry nods.

"You too man." Harry responds as he shakes Jason's hand. I smile as it such a nice feeling that they get along. I'm so pleased Harry has seen the gentle side to Jason.

"I hope you don't mind me being here?" He asks as he looks to Harry and I. We both shake our heads and Jason smiles.

"Do you know who else Amy's invited?" I ask and Jason shakes his head and apologises.

"Anyone you want to leave just tell them to go." Harry says as he looks at me.

"Yeah otherwise we will evacuate them." Jason adds and I thank them. Amy soon interrupts as she starts to introduce Niall to Jason.

"I'm gonna see who is here." I say and Chloe and Lucy follow me. Chloe walks beside me and links her arm with mine.

"Harry is so gorgeous Steph!" Chloe says as she looks at me with widest smile. Lucy nods in agreement.

"I know.." I answer and I smile. I feel flattered that they approve of him.

"Are things okay with you two?" Lucy asks and I nod. I start to explain a few things that have recently happened.

Harry's POV
I really like this Niall kid, he has a good sense of humour and I don't think I've laughed as much as I have tonight. Only problem is he makes the strongest drinks! We're both a bit tipsy as we've spent the past hour sat at the breakfast bar drinking away.

"That Amy girl is hot.." Niall says as he looks over to Amy who's dancing with James. I glance over and then back at Niall.

"Think she's a handful though mate." I smirk as I sip some more of my drink.

"Yeah.." Niall laughs and he looks away again. "So you and Stephanie.." Niall smirks as he playfully nudges me. "She's a beaut." He adds.

"A what?" I ask with a smile and he rolls his eyes laughing.

"A beaut, as in she's beautiful, gorgeous.." Niall answers and I nod as I agree with him.

"She is, not planning to steal my girl are you?" I joke and Niall pretends to think.

"Hey boys" Amy slurs as she tries to stand in front of us. "You two have to be the best looking lads here." She smirks as she starts to grind on Niall.

"Amy I think you should stop." I say as she's making herself look so stupid. She stops and looks at me.

"Sorry babe, am I making you jealous?" She asks as she leans forward and tugs at my t-shirt. I stand up and put my hands on her shoulders.

"Think someone needs some air." I say as I guide her out of the kitchen and she quickly breaks away from me and dives into the studio. "Amy no!" I shout as I follow her, I turn the light on and she shuts the door.

"Now you have me all to yourself." She seductively smiles as she leans backwards on the desk pushing her chest out.

"Amy, you're drunk and you aren't thinking straight." I say as I look at her and its like looking at a little lost girl. I feel a little sorry for her.

"Harry haven't you realised? We are supposed to be together. The way you protect me and keep me safe is the way a lover would. You make me feel good about myself, you get me." She says and I don't think it's good to try and process her slurred words as I can't exactly think straight.

"Amy, we are not supposed to be together. Come on you're not thinking straight." I go to walk to the door but she quickly gets up and grabs my hand. I stop and look at her.

"I can see the way you look at me, you want me just as much as I want you." She says as she bites her lip. She leans up and whispers into my ear. "You won't believe the things I could do to you tonight." She says and regrettably her words have a small effect.

No Harry, shake it off as you're not in the right frame of mind for this sort of conversation. She's not who you want, you're not a cheater and you love Stephanie.

"Haven't you realised the sexual tension you and I have?" She asks as she runs her finger down my chest. She stops at my belt.

"Amy, stop!" I snap and she continues to go lower so I grab her hand and push her away from me. I may be a guy and a little deprived in the bedroom but that doesn't give me the right to give in to someone like Amy.

"Oh come on Harry! You think Stephanie would care? She doesn't. I can tell you that because she's the one who has to keep your relationship a secret. She doesn't want you like I do. I would show you off to everyone." She says and I look away from her.

"I'm done." I snap as I turn away from her but she puts her hands on my waist and quickly moves in front of me. She pushes me back on the desk and she leans closer to me. God this girl doesn't know when to stop! She's supposed to be Stephanie's best friend!

"I want you now." She says and she quickly lowers her head to mine, her lips skim mine as I push her off me.

"What the fuck?" Stephanie asks and I panic as I look to my left to see her stood at the door. She looks at me and then to Amy as tears form in her eyes. I feel my heart sink and I go to walk towards her.

"Steph.." I say as she quickly turns around and runs back out. Shit..

Notes

So poor Stephanie has finally proved her suspicion to be correct about her best friend.
Things are certainly not going to be the same again..
