No choice

(Harry's POV)

Party in the woods! Damn it’s good. I love this town. Beautiful place, hot girls... it’s perfect. Roman and I went to the place and as soon as we reached, many girls started coming towards us. Oh come on! Don’t think bad about them. After all we are sexy men and any girl could drool over us.

We sat on the chairs with girls and kept talking. That’s when I saw her. Stella! She was with her friends. I was so surprised to see her. I didn’t expect her presence.

Ignoring the remaining girls, I began staring at her and smiling. I think she cast a magic spell on me because of that I ignore others only to look at her. I saw her eating, enjoying and Vickie started talking to her.

I could see irritated expression on Stella’s face. While I was gazing at her, I heard voices from behind.

“Stella is damn hot though she is fully covered. Imagine if she is naked. Look at her man, I want to kiss and take her tonight.”

Anger gripped through me listening to them. I stood and clenched my fist. I gave the two guys an angry look that made them gulp.

“What did you say about her?” I yelled giving them deadly glare.

I stepped forward and when I was about to hit them, they both raised their hands in surrender. “Bro! Calm down. We are so sorry. We are leaving.” They both ran away from there. And yeah! That’s my reputation. When I beat Ben to pulp, most of the students started fearing me. It’s cool, right? When you make someone afraid of you.

I strolled to her and shouted for which she gave an angry reply. I didn’t understand why she stood from there. I kept looking at her and suddenly she went to drink counter. I was so sure that she wouldn’t drink but –

“Fuck” I muttered when she took the glass to drink. “No” I shouted.

I didn’t know why but I don’t want her to drink. I strolled to her shouting however she kept drinking. She ran away and started dancing.

“What the – Water?” I heard a girl from behind yelling while sipping her drink. I took a glass and drank just to yell

“Water?”

Smart girl! She didn’t drink. She was acting to make me furious. I laughed at her cute actions and sat on the chair enjoying while looking at her. She is really a good dancer. I could see that clearly. She again went to counter and drank looking at me. But I just smirked.

She kept drinking a lot, she was drinking whatever the server brought. Wait! Was she drinking alcohol? Or fooling me again? She was losing her balance.

“Fuck! It’s alcohol.”

I ran to her and when she was about to fell down, I made her stand straight. She shut her eyes talking nonsense. I patted her cheeks to wake her up. I carried her in my arms and started walking away but my walk was interrupted when Anna started shouting “Hey! Where are you taking her?”

“Can’t you see? She is drunk. I’m taking her to her home.”

“She is not drunk. She is acting.”

“Ann! I heard you are a stupid and yes! You are a stupid. She drank thinking it as water. Now if you move aside. I’ll take her to home.”

“No!” she shouted.

“Why?” I asked confused.

“I... um... I’ll take her. You enjoy the party.”

I felt something weird in her sentence. I replied “No. You enjoy. I’ll take her safely. Don’t worry. She is my family friend.”

She was feeling tensed and acting all strange. Ignoring her, I started walking forward.

“No. Don’t take her to her home. Her parents didn’t know about this. She lied to them.”

Wow! The little girl is a liar too.

“Fine. I won’t take her to her house.” I said and again started strolling.

“Do you think I will allow you to take her wherever you want?” Anna raised her eyebrow.

“Ann! You should allow me else you both might be in trouble. I think you too lied to your mom.”

Her eyes widened hearing me and that’s evident to understood she lied too. Liars!

I smirked looking her. Then I said “Don’t worry Ann! I like her. I don’t do anything. If I do, my parents will kill me.”

After telling Roman that I was leaving, I started walking to my car. I saw the server was arranging the drink glasses in the tray. Then he left from there. Poor Stella! The drink glasses might have mixed up.

I reached my car which was parked near to the lake.

“Harry! A dooooouche you are.” Stella babbled.

“Yeah! I know.” I rolled my eyes.

Suddenly she puked on my t-shirt and kept laughing.

“Huh? Is this a fun?” I muttered and made her lean to the car's bonnet. I took off my t-shirt and let it fell to the ground. I took water bottle from my car and cleaned her mouth and face. Her hands were touching my abs that made me let out a heavy high. I removed her palms from my body mumbling “Don’t touch me, Stella. You are turning me on.”

Then I made her sit on the passenger seat. I kept smiling looking at her beautiful face.

“You are not taking her anywhere.” I heard a voice and I let out a sigh.

Who the hell again? I turned back to see Ben and his friends looking at me angrily.

“Ben! I’m not in the mood to fight. Come later.” Saying that I started walking to my seat but was interrupted by that bastard. I was surrounded by three of them who were looking at me like if they were given a chance they would kill me.

A guy tried to attack me with his fist but I kicked in his stomach which made him yell in pain. I fisted my palm and hit another guy who was trying to push me. Angrily Ben ran towards me and caught my throat. He was making me choke. He pushed me to the car’s bonnet without leaving his grip on my throat. He yelled “She is mine. You better back off.”

I kicked him between his legs and he fell to ground screaming in pain. The two of his friends again attacked me but they couldn’t as I was so good at fighting. Then I kept punching Ben's face sitting on top of him. After I felt he couldn’t fight back, I stood straight. I shouted pointed my finger at him “She is not yours. She is the princess. I’ll not let anyone like you to do anything to her.”

Then I sat on the seat and drove off to my house. I checked on my granny. She was already sleeping. I took Stella into my room without making noise. I shut my door and put her on bed. She got a message from her mother.

“Coming? Or staying at your friend’s house?” – Mom

I smiled looking at the message and texted back “I’m staying over. Will come tomorrow. Don’t worry about me mom.”

“Take care.” – Mom

I looked at Stella who was sleeping peacefully. I smiled looking at her and touched her face. She was so adorable.

“Ew! What’s it?” I muttered looking at her top and skirt. She even puked on herself.

“Now what? Should I change your dress? Never. I’m a good guy. I won’t take off your clothes.” I mumbled. I heard someone laughing. Who’s that? I turned back to see anyone but how can I see if the person who was laughing was my subconscious because of my stupid good guy sentence.

I made her sit supporting her back to the headboard and rubbed my palms “Harry! You are a good guy. Don’t get tempted.” Mumbling those words I shut my eyes. I touched her and removed her dress leaving her in undergarments. Without opening my eyes, I turned back. I walked to the restroom and dropped her dress there. Then I freshened up and came out.

She was still in the sitting position and I gulped looking at her. I tried to avert my eyes away from her but I didn’t. I let out a sigh and took my t-shirt from the closet. I put my t-shirt on her that nearly reached her knees. Then I set her in sleeping posture and I walked to the couch. I lay on it and shut my eyes. When I was about to sleep, a thought entered into my head. Did she puke in my car when I was fighting?

Immediately I opened my eyes shouting “NO.”

(Stella's POV)

I slowly tried to open my eyes adjusting to the sunlight that’s falling on my face. I stretched my hands yawning. Wow! I woke up before my mom shout at me. The thought crossed my mind and my lips curved up with smile. When I totally opened my eyes, I saw a different ceiling. When did the ceiling change? I looked at the walls beside me and then at... swimming pool? I came to my senses and sat straight. I saw Harry sat on the couch looking at me.

I gulped in fear when I looked at my dress. It’s not my dress. It’s a bloody oversized t-shirt.

“Morning Stella!” Harry smirked.

I covered myself till the neck with blanket. I was so confused and my throat became dry.

He stood from the couch and walked towards me. He stood beside me saying “Had a great night, huh?”

“W-what happened last night? Why am I in your room?” I shuddered.

He leaned forward and I leant back with his action. He whispered in a husky tone “Don’t act like you don’t remember anything. We had an awesome night.”

My heart skipped a beat hearing him. I looked at him with my enlarged eyes and fear crept all over my face and body. Suddenly guilt stroked me for lying to my parents. How will they react if they know this? Will they ever forgive me? With all the questions my fear increased. Tears started forming in my eyes but Harry’s laugh made me come out of my thoughts.

Why the hell is he laughing? I didn’t find anything strange in my body. Nothing happened last night. He was lying.

“Nothing happened?” I said like questioning.

“Did you think something happen? Wow! You are so scared.” he laughed out loud.

I hit him with a pillow shouting “Stop laughing you idiot.”

He sat beside me without stopping his stupid laugh.

“I drank water. What the hell happened to me?” I asked confused.

“Your cute little plan didn’t work. The server might have put drink glasses in the tray after you went for dancing.” He said laughing.

I slammed my head with my palm. I looked at the t-shirt I was wearing and I asked “This t-shirt?”

“Mine. You puked on your dress as well on my shirt.” He rolled his eyes.

“You changed my dress?” I asked scared.

“Yeah! Don’t worry I didn’t see you naked.” He laughed.

His words made me feel disgusted. I never thought I would be in the condition in my entire life.

I put my hands on my forehead and I was so frustrated.

“Did granny know about my presence?” I asked looking into his eyes.

“Nope. No one knew. Except your friend and my friend.”

“Anna! Where is she? How did she allow you to take me with you?”

“I don’t know where she is. And I don’t need anyone’s permission to do the things that I like.” He gave a sarcastic smile.

I stood from the bed pulling the t-shirt down. Though it’s covering me neatly I couldn’t stand infront of him.

“I should go.” I told him and started walking towards the door.

“You’ll leave like this?” he asked confused.

“Where is my dress?”

“Sent for laundry. Wait for an hour. Don’t worry. Granny will never know about this.”

He is so helpful but instead of thanking him, I shouted “Why the hell you took off my clothes?”

He scoffed listening to me and spoke “Because I didn’t want the dress on which you puked, on my bed. You... you even puked in my car. My favourite car.”

He made an irritating face. I bent my head down embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I’ll clean the car.”

“No. I sent for water wash.”

We both kept silent for a moment then he smirked saying “Your mom messaged you yesterday.”

I took my cell phone to call her but when I saw the replies which was sent by I don’t know who. I was shocked.

“You replied to her?” I asked.

“Yeah! Don’t worry I acted accordingly.” He smirked saying that.

I understood he knew about the lie I told to my parents. Will he tell them? With that thought I frightened but I didn’t dare talking to him about the topic so I kept silent.

“So you lied to your parents?” he raised his eyebrow.

“It’s none of your business.” I rolled my eyes.

He stood from the bed and stepped towards me.

“Oh yeah? If I tell my aunt that her daughter is a cheater then it’s none of your business.”

My eyes widened listening to him. I stammered “Y-You won’t. You are kidding, right?”

He kept stepping towards me while I step back till my back hit the locked door. He put his palm on the door beside my head and leaned.

“Do I look like I’m joking? Your mom believes me. If there is a need, I can show your parents the proofs too.” His tone was serious that made my mouth drop wide open.

How will my parents react when he tell about it? If I was not drunk, then it might have been fine even if they knew the truth. But the entire scenario is different. I lied to them. I drank. Spent the night in his house. Damn!

“H-Harry! No. My dad trusted me.” I pleaded with my eyes but he didn’t budge.

“I’ll keep your secret safe with me.” He paused for a moment then spoke “What for me? What will you offer?” he smirked.

With his smirk I understood he wanted me to be his girlfriend. “No. No. No. Harry! I... I can’t be your girlfriend. Anything except this.”

“I don’t want anything. You have no choice. You have to be my girlfriend.”

Anger rushed through me when I heard his words. How dare he? He is literally blackmailing me.

I pushed him shouting “I told you, not in this life.”

He stood straight and spoke casually “Fine! Don’t be. But I should tell you something. Not only about you. I even know about you friend, Anna. I heard her mom is a lady dictator.” He laughed.

“Don’t bring Anna into this.”

“Look Stella! I’m just asking you to be my girlfriend for few months or... whatever. You be my girlfriend. You and Anna will be safe. I'll even help your friend to win Roman. Else I’ll go for anything. You even stayed in my room, remember this.”

Listening to him my stomach fluttered. My heart started pacing fast that I could hear the heart beating. My palms became sweaty and I stood still thinking. I shouldn’t have lied. I did a mistake. And Anna! Her mom will become furious and worst... she may take any hard decisions. What should I do?

“Fine! It seems you are not accepting.” He took out his cell phone.

“What are you doing?” I asked looking at his cell phone.

“Calling your mom. I’ll ask her to take her daughter who is in my room.”

“What? No.” I shouted and took away his mobile from his hand.

“So you accept?” He smirked. I didn’t reply anything. I kept my gaze on the floor.

“Okay. Give me my cell phone.” He said extending his hand.

“No. Don’t tell them.”

“Accepting?” I simply nodded my head to his question. I know I shouldn’t give up easily but I had no choice.

He said for few months and even telling he would help Anna. I think it’s far better than telling Anna's mom or my parents the truth.

“Tell me.” He shouted.

“I... I accept.”

With my sentence, he smirked. He pulled me to his chest and tucked the strand of my hair behind my ear. He rested his chin on my shoulder. His actions were scaring me but what frightened me the most was his sentence “Good. Our story starts from now. My dear Princess.”
