One Wild Night

Chapter 718 Fighting Over Harry

"Really? What do you remember about it?" Harry asked, and she grinned.

"I remember our mugs of warm chocolate, our conversations, and most importantly I remember thinking that you had the most gorgeous pair of brown eyes I've ever seen and I could look into them all night and not be satisfied," Jade said and Harry narrowed his eyes.

"Now that we are at it, I suppose I can trust you not to go about complimenting other men's eyes or spending long hours chatting with them and staring into their eyes in my absence, right?" Harry asked, and Jade glared at him as she slapped his arm.

"What do you mean by that?" Jade asked, and he shrugged.

"Just saying I wouldn't want my girlfriend to be gazing into another guy's eyes," Harry said and she scowled.

"You didn't seem to have a problem with me doing that to you when I had a boyfriend back then," Jade said and Harry nodded.

"Of course. That's because I know myself. If it were some other guy he could have taken advantage of you…"

"Taken advantage of me? Like force himself on me under my father's roof or what?" Jade asked irritably.

"Maybe you don't realize it yet, but we did a bit of flirting and it was mostly from your end…"

"Harmless flirting. Nothing happened, remember?" She cut in.

"Only because I kept trying to be a gentleman. Despite how I felt about you, I maintained my distance even though I wanted to kiss you each time you gazed into my eyes the way you did," Harry said and she smiled.

"You wanted to kiss me?" She asked and Harry shook his head.

"That isn't the point," Harry said and she rolled her eyes.

"It is, seeing how both ended up here together four years later," Jade said with a shrug.

"Esquire…."

"And this right here is the spot where that pet name was birthed," Jade said with a grin, not wanting Harry to say anything that might ruin the mood and get her upset since she didn't like what he was saying.

"What I'm trying to say is, when I'm with you, I'm with you hundred per cent. You have all of me. I want it to be the same for you. You won't see me sitting down and entertaining other females…."

"For Christ's sake, Jonas! For Christ's sake, can you stop? Are you trying to say I'm not trustworthy simply because I sat up conversing with you late at night when I had a boyfriend? Are you judging me now?" She asked in annoyance.

"If you're going to be so annoying, maybe you should go hang out with Tom and the others," Jade said as she rose to leave, but Harry grabbed her hand and pulled her back, without leaving his seat.

"I'm not judging you, and neither am I saying I don't trust you…"

"Then what are you saying?" Jade snapped angrily.

"I'm saying I love you too damned much and I want to be the only one whose arms you fall into when you trip on the stairs, and I want my eyes to be the only ones you admire that way, and I want to be the only one you sit up with late at night talking about everything and nothing, and I am too damned possessive of you to want to even see you smiling at a guy who is not family," Harry said as he nuzzled her neck, and Jade found herself smiling involuntarily.

"That's not how you sounded," she said with a pout as she placed her arms around his neck.

"Well, when it comes to you, I find it difficult saying the right things the right way," Harry said as he also wrapped his arms around her waist.

"So I guess if you were him you'd have reacted the same way he did that night?" Jade asked not wanting to mention Todd's name.

"I can't be him. If I were your boyfriend you'd have no reason to enjoy the company of another male in the first place because I'd make you so happy every other guy would look like clowns to you," Harry said and Jade giggled.

"Well, you're doing a good job of that already," Jade said as she let out a deep sigh.

"Well, I'm glad he slipped. That's the only way I could have gotten to spend that time with you anyway," Harry said and Jade grinned.

"You're a man of contradictions, Jonas. First you made me feel like I was a bitch for hanging out with you that night, and now you're making me feel like you're glad I did," she said and Harry smiled.

"I'm glad you did. He never deserved you. I always knew I was the man for you even though you were too blinded by love to see it then," he said with a scowl and she smiled.

"You almost got me really pissed, you know?" She asked, and he nodded.

"How would you feel about me complimenting a random lady about her pretty eyes or how beautiful she is?" Harry asked and she scowled.

"You wouldn't dare," she said, with her teeth bared and Harry chuckled.

"That's what I'm talking about. So, we only have one rule in our relationship. Don't do anything you wouldn't want me to do. It's cool that you complimented me that way since you felt drawn to me even if you didn't realize it then. But that's me. It should be a one off thing between us. You are the most beautiful lady in the world to me and that's that," Harry said, and Jade kissed him.

"And you are the most handsome man in the world to me, and you have the most beautiful pair of eyes I've ever seen," she said as she kissed his eyes, and Harry chuckled.

"What an eyesore. Enough of that already," Tom said as he joined them and Jade rolled her eyes.

"Shooo! Can you just leave us alone?" Jade asked with a scowl.

"Nope, I can't. You've had enough of Harry. It's my turn," Tom said and Harry chuckled earning him a glare from Jade.

"It's not funny. Tell him to leave," Jade said and Harry jerked his head towards the door.

"You heard her. Leave," Harry said and Tom raised a hand to his chest dramatically.

"You hurt my feelings Harry. I thought it was us both against the world," Tom asked and Harry chuckled while Jade scowled.

"No, it's not. You don't see me cutting into your time with Lucy..."

"Lucy isn't your best friend, and you didn't meet Lucy first. I'm the reason you ever got to know Harry," Tom said matter of factly.

"I can't believe you're fighting with me over my boyfriend," Jade said with a scoff of disbelief as she fanned herself with her hands.

"And I can't believe you're fighting with me over my best friend," Tom said, mimicking her gesture by fanning himself too, and Harry grinned as he watched them.

"Are you just going to sit there and smile? Say something!" Jade said and Harry chuckled.

"I feel like two ladies are fighting over me," Harry said and Jade shook her head as she turned to Tom.

"I hate you," she said, and he grinned.

"The feeling is mutual, Jadey," Tom said as he placed his arm around her shoulder and she pushed him away.

"Come find me after you are done with him," Jade said to Harry as she walked away, leaving them alone since Harry wasn't being helpful or taking her side.

Harry chuckled as he watched her leave, and once she disappeared he turned to see Tom watching him with a mocking expression and he chuckled.

"What?" Harry asked innocently and Tom shook his head.

"You're completely gone. She has you wrapped around her fingers," Tom said and Harry grinned.

"Very pretty fingers if you ask me. And you are one to talk," Harry said dryly.

"What do you mean?"

"Lucy has you wrapped around her toenails. The smallest one at that," Harry said with a smirk.

"I never said it was a bad thing to be wrapped around her fingers, you know? Anyway, I came to get you both because your dad and co just arrived. And everyone else is in the Den apart from you two," Tom informed Harry.

"Why didn't you just say so then instead of getting her so worked up?" Harry asked, and Tom shrugged.

"Because it's more fun this way I guess. That's what siblings are meant for."

"You need to grow up, Tom," Harry said as he rose and Tom grinned.

"Why should I? I don't want to," Tom said as he placed his arm around Harry and they both laughed as they headed for the house.
