Chapter 29
**** HARRISON P. O. V ****
"Gracie, what was going on there?" As we were going home, I asked.
"It didn't matter." She answered. Since we left the clubhouse, she has been very quiet.
"Gracie that didn't seem like nothing. You were about to kiss him, and you said you wanted to." She looked at me when I said it. "Harrison, I told you I wanted it, and it's true. But didn't I say that it was wrong?" She asked, and I wasn't too surprised.
"Melina, tell me the truth. Do you love him?" I asked, and she gave me a look.
"What? No! I don't love him, though." She said this while shaking her head as if to fight something. Maybe how she feels.
"Gracie, I asked for the truth." I told her, and she got mad.
"I already told you! I don't love him! He made my life a mess!" She yelled and I nodded.
I was so glad that she didn't like him. At least I know now that she's mine and won't go anywhere else.
"I'm sorry okay? Just that you guys got too close made me mad." I said and she nodded.
"I know what you mean, Harrison, and thank you for always being the best friend you could be." She said that she was smiling, and you smiled back.
She reminded me that I hadn't told her I loved her yet. She still thinks of me as her best friend, but I don't see us that way. Like a couple.
"Gracie, I have something to say." She looked at me when I said it.
"Go on. If it's not because I tried to kiss Jason." I sighed when she said it.
"I don't think now is a good time. I'll tell you when we leave town." I said, and she made her eyes look down.
"Then, why did you tell me now? You already know I hate waiting." I laughed at what she said.
"Trust me, Gracie, I'll tell you everything." I told her, and she turned away and nodded.
"Then it's fine. I'm anxiously waiting to hear what you have to say." She said, and I reached out to touch her hand.
She looked down to see if I wanted to hold her hand, and I saw that she hesitated. I was about to move my hand away when she grabbed it and smiled.
I felt so good.
We walked to the house still holding hands, and I let her go in first by opening the door.
"You guys are back." Nina said smiling.
"We are, yes." Gracie and I joined in, and as we looked at each other, we started to laugh.
"I think there's something going on here. Where am I going wrong?" She asked, and Gracie quickly shook her head no.
"Nina, it isn't what you think. There are no sparks." She answered quickly, which kind of hurt me.
"Seriously?" She asked me while looking at me, and I just put on a fake smile to hide how hurt I was.
"Yes. We're just best friends, that's all." I told her, and I could tell she wanted to talk again, so I quickly walked over to her before she told her without my permission.
"Nina, do you have a second to talk to me?" I asked her, and as she looked at Gracie again, she said, "Yes."
We walked to the room together, and I closed the door after us.
"Nina I know that when we kissed, it was important to you. We were drunk and crazy, so it didn't matter." I rapped, and she did nothing but look at me.
"I had no plans to tell her. Even though you shouldn't keep anything from your best friend, I don't plan to tell her." She said it, and I let out a sigh of relief. "What did you want to say when you said that?" She smiled when I asked.
"I really wanted to tell her how you feel. No longer should you keep it to yourself. You ought to tell her." She said and I sighed nodding.
"I know." I said I was on my way to bed.
"I want to see it as we leave town. Do you agree that it would be more romantic on a ship?" She smiled when I asked.
"Wow, you're going by boat? That's great. When were you going to tell me?" She asked with angry hands folded.
"Nina I apologize. I didn't want to bother you with my tour when your mom had just died. That would be me being self-centered." She sighed after I said it.
"Harrison, you can count on us. Since we know each other pretty well, we shouldn't keep secrets from each other." She said it in pain.
"I understand, and I'm sorry. I didn't want to talk about it at all because I wanted it to be a surprise for her." I said and she nodded.
"I get it, and I'm glad you got back together with your love." She spoke.
"Are you sure this is cool with you?" I told her that I know she likes me.
"I have no other choice. I'm happy if you're happy." She said that, and I gave her a tight hug.
"Thank you Nina." She smiled when I said it.
"Let's go out before your best friend misunderstands this." She said something, and I laughed as I left the room.
When we got to the living room, Gracie was looking at the pictures on the walls.
"Aren't they pretty?" I asked as I walked up to her.
"Yes, they certainly are. Nina looks especially beautiful in that one." I smiled when she said it.
"Nina is pretty, in fact." I said, "I saw Nina's cheeks get red when I looked at her."
"Nina I can't find a picture of your mom here." Gracie said looking at Nina.
"I took them away. They kept making me think of bad times." She said it, and then she sighed.

"I'm sorry to have brought it up. I'm sure she'd be proud of you no matter where you went. You have good qualities." I agreed with what Gracie said by nodding my head.
"I hope she'd be happy with me. I'll see to it that she does." We all smiled when she said it.
"I really want to see her. She would look as good as you do." She spoke.
"Don't be afraid. Tomorrow, her pictures will be all over the place." She told her, and she agreed.
Gracie said, "I'm sorry about her again."
"Oh yes you are." We all laughed when she answered.
**** MELINA P. O. V ****
"I should now go to bed. I have a headache." After Nina and I did the dishes, I said.
"Me too. We will have a long day tomorrow." When she answered, I smiled.
"I guess it's time to go to bed." I said that I was drying off my hands.
"Certainly. Good night." She said this, and I smiled as I left the kitchen and went to the guest room, where Nina had made something for me.
She is a great person. I like her.
I got to the room and started taking off my clothes when the doorbell rang.
"Who's there?" I asked as I put on my clothes.
"Name is Harrison. You haven't said good night yet." I smiled and opened the door for him as he spoke.
"Sorry. The problem is that I'm so tired." I said and he nodded grinning.
"I understand. How do I get in? We need to talk." He said looking serious.
"Sure, come in." I told him to make room. I just had to know what he was going to say.
"Gracie." I told him to sit while he called out.
"Harrison, I am ready to listen. What's happening?" As I sat next to him and looked at him, I asked.
"I kissed Nina." He said it quickly, and I couldn't think of anything else to do but laugh.
"What amuses you?" He asked looking at me.
"I apologize. I just didn't see what the big deal was. That's great news, because Nina is very pretty and always there for you. I think you two are a great match." I said something, and all he did was look at me like I was crazy. "You don't mind, right? You're not mad, right?" I told him no when he asked.
"Why should I get mad? I should be happy for you because you are my friend. Look, Harrison, if you like her, you should go after her. She is just what you need." I said.
"Really? Melina? Don't you even care about me?" When he asked, I raised my brows.
"Of course I love you Harrison. You're the best friend I have." I told him, and he stood up with a sigh.
"Okay Melina. I just wanted to say thank you. I don't want to hide anything from you, and just so you know, we're not in love. We were drunk." He said. "Oh okay." I said nodding very fast.
"Now is a good time to let you rest. Good night." He said.
"Good night." I answered with a smile. He left the room, and I groaned and took off my clothes. I threw myself on the bed, naked, and let out a tired sigh.
I put the duvet over me, turned my face to the ceiling, and closed my eyes to go to sleep. That was the first time I saw Jason.
I quickly opened my eyes and took a deep breath. His face came quickly.
"What's happening? Why am I thinking about?" I asked myself.
I let out a few breaths and closed my eyes again to go back to sleep. I was so glad I wouldn't have to see his face this time, but then.....
He picked me up with his hands, and I put my legs around his middle. As he carried me quickly into the house, I played with her hair. "Jason." I muttered as he grabbed my buttocks and made me moan.
He kissed me all over, like he was crazy about me. I told him to sit on the couch, and then I sat on him and kissed him quickly and deeply.
His kept moving up and down my back and squeezing my a*s. I was so wet that I needed him to dry me out.
He made me lie down on the couch and kissed me from my neck to my stomach. He quickly grabbed my shirt and tore it off.
As soon as I took it off, he looked at my b**bs, which made me feel shy. He stopped me from covering it up.
"Don't. You're so pretty that you shouldn't be shy around me." He said this while putting his hot lips on my n**ple, which made me moan out loud.
My groans filled the room as he kept using his tongue to do signs and miracles on my body. He was moving his tongue toward his p**sy.
I snapped back to reality and started to breathe hard. When I looked around, I saw that I was still in Nina's house. All of it was a dream.
