    Elena’s POVI kept stealing glances at Henry, even though He has stopped looking my way since he got to the house. I never knew that he was the one hosting this party. I wished I didn’t agree to Clare’s pressure to attend. Then there was one time, I turned to commit my theft, and he was staring at me. Immediately I looked away. I have been caught. I waited for a while and there he was staring at me. He didn’t look away when I did and I became concerned. I checked my face from the reflection of my phone. I didn’t have lipstick in my teeth. My hair was still in place. When I tried to look at him again, he was staring at me. I shuddered.“Alright people, gather round. We are going to play a game. ” a guy in a black T shirt said. The party was getting boring by the minute.“Truth or dare” someone said. People booed at the person.“No we are not going to do that. Let’s play a game of spin the bottle” he said.

    Henry’s POV I watched as Elena went red in the face. I couldn’t decide if I should smirk or smile. It was then I confirmed. I still liked Elena, even though I told myself not to since the last time, I was with her. I was worrying deep down. Was she too embarrassed? Maybe I shouldn’t have kissed her. It was this Alcohol. It made me braver. I stared at her as she looked at everywhere but at me. People were laughing and smiling all around us. I hope she knew that most girls here wanted to be in her shoes and they were not really laughing at her. I was this close to asking her if everything was alright, until I was pulled away by a red head that had been flaunting her boobs in my face all night. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes as she began to talk“Henry I need some water” she whined as she batted her eyelashes. If only she knew, she was everything but cute while doing that. I tore my eyes away from her face as I tried to look for Elena. Where did she go? “Henry!” she interrupted m

    Elena and Henry engaged in a staring contest. Henry looked. He wanted to know if she would look away. Meanwhile Elena was shocked to find him staring at her outside. What was he doing outside she wondered. For a weird reason, Elena didn’t look away, even when she wanted to. She loved the way Henry’s eyes stared into hers. With the way he angled his body towards her. It spoke of how he wanted her. She gasped at the intensity and was about looking away, when something broke that spell. Just like that call.“Henry!” a brunette into him and hugged him. “I have been looking everywhere for you” she whined. Henry fought the urge to fling the girl to the other end of the balcony but he still did something. He shoved her off him and she almost tripped. Usually henry would have come to her and asked if she was alright but he didn’t. “Go inside Brianna” henry said in gritted teeth. The brunette looked around. She smiled widely and walked back inside. Henry cursed under his breath. The brunette

    Elena pulled away. Her breath was heavy as her chest rose and fell. Her eyes widened and her heart pounded in her chest. She turned to Henry and looked away, wondering if he could hear how loud her heart beat. She put a hand over her mouth as she glanced at him. Gosh that was hot. It was like the kiss from the party earlier she thought. She could feel Henry’s gaze on her and she went red in the face.“What?” henry whispered? Elena shook her head. She didn’t expect the outburst of emotions from henry. What was going on? Henry was meant to hate her. The memory of her last birthday was still fresh in her head.

For the pain she had made him live through and there he was still wanting her. Was henry trying to get back at her? She wondered. Elena got ahold of herself and thought about her actions.
