YN knows Harryâs dating history.
Well, thatâs not even fair to say because it was more like hook-up history.
Harry had been in one relationship since he was starting out, his company still in a five-hundred pound a month rental business office in the bad part of town.
When success started to hit, the relationship failed, and Harry had never looked back.
He had feelings for his first girlfriend at some point, in high school but then he pushed her to the side for work and she allowed it until it became too much for her to handle.
When Harry missed her birthday party, when he didnât show up to at least three planned dates - leaving her alone at a booth at a restaurant, and when she would cry, scream at him over all this, he would not react.
-
âItâs fucking absurd, Harry!â Andrea had screamed as she stood in his brand new skyscraper heâd signed a lease on.
It was eleven at night and Harry was on the top floor, in his sprawling office as he went through contracts that needed his attention.
She was in a beautiful silk dress with mascara running down her cheeks, âThis is the fifth fucking date youâve stood me up. Iâm done with your bullshit. Youâre throwing away our years-long relationship over work!â
Harry had already become so cold and unempathic by this point, he had blinked up to her with disinterest for a brief moment before looking back down and flipping a page.
âIâŠI donât even know you are anymore, this isnât the Harry I agreed to be with,â Andrea sniffles as she smears her makeup even more, âDo you even love me?â
This was the opportunity to keep their relationship flowing, for him to remind her of his love for her, and say theyâll work on it.
Thatâs what she was expecting.
However, his next sentence solidified the end of their relationship.
âI donât love anybody anymore,â Harry tells her without an ounce of any emotion in his eyes.
++
He was cold towards her, distant, and it wasnât fair.
The girl hadnât deserved it, she wasnât a bad person, and she truly had tried to support Harry through his struggles of building a business.
However, the main issue out of all of it was that Harry wasnât in love with her.
After the exciting first few months of dating, it faded into dullness much like he viewed everything in his life before YN.
Harry didnât try to date again after that, he didnât have the interest nor the energy to try to put the effort into something that he didnât want.
He did go through a very awful depression though.
Where he came to the realization that he probably was never going to get married or have children.
Because despite how jaded and pessimistic he was about relationships, he always dreamed of having a wife and babies to come home to every night but instead it was just a massive mansion with no one but himself.
He would find himself desiring those things.
For example, the one day when he was looking for a box of books from his college years, he was interested in reading again.
He knew it was stowed away in one of the extra rooms.
When he walked into one of the rooms that he had never spent a minute of time in, he couldn't help but think to himself, âthis would make the perfect nursery.â
That was a bad night.
After having that thought and realizing that it most likely would never be a nursery, he wasnât proud to admit that he may have left a hole in the wall before closing the door and never going back in there again.
Harry turned into someone he didnât like.
He was unfriendly, unapproachable, and cold to everyone.
No one was the exception, not even his mum and sister anymore.
He had no one which was his own doing, everything morphed into work and nothing else for him.
Occasionally, after one of the event dinners or out-of-town work trips, he would find someone for the night.
It was strictly sexual which he would always make very clear in the beginning of the encounter.
At some point, it became less and less frequent that he would hook-up with anyone because the more well-known, richer he became, the harder it was to find someone for just the night.
Even when they agreed to have a casual one-time thing by the time they had finished, they were typically begging Harry to at least stay the night or get his number.
It normally ended with them screaming that heâs a heartless asshole before kicking him out of their hotel room.
WellâŠnot really kicking him out because the second they were done, he was already getting redressed and headed out the door anyway without a second look back.
Not once did he ever get the urge to ask for a number or for it to happen again.
Sex was sex to him.
It was never anything emotional, special, or mind-blowing.
It was mediocre at nearly all times and he would do it just to fill the physical need to get off.
He wasnât a complete and utter asshole (yes, he was) but he always made sure that the woman that he was with was getting off too.
Harry never felt excitement in doing so, more of an obligation because it was only fair.
YN had insecurity in the beginning.
Unfortunately, a lot of the time Harry had hook-ups, it was caught by sneaky paparazzi whether it was him and the girl leaving the club together or him exiting the hotel after the deed was done.
And of course, all those pictures ended up not only on the internet but most of the time splayed across the cover of tabloids.
âHarry Styles Seen Leaving Hotel of American Model in Early Hours!â
âHarry Styles: Tech Billionaire and Womanizer?â
It took Harry quite a while to convince YN that none of that was relevant to their relationship and that she needed to not compare herself to the people that Harry had hooked up with in the past.
When he told YN that nobody has ever or would ever compare to her, god, he meant it with all his fucking being.
Harry understands the insecurity, he would have it too if he googled YNâs name, and articles, pictures of her with other men popped up in his search - he couldnât even think about it without his blood boiling.
The issue was, in the beginning, YN didnât see how fucking amazing she was.
She didnât realize that she didnât need to compare herself to those models and influencers because she was literally his dream woman from her intelligence, her wit, and her fucking looks.
It blew his mind that she didnât see how gorgeous she was, that she even thought for a moment she wasnât as pretty as the models, she was so much more beautiful than anyone heâd ever seen.
It had taken months of Harry showing that he meant his words for her to believe it.
He never even looked at another woman while they were out, even if they were trying to get with him, and in fact, he was exceptionally rude at all times (even though YN obviously never asked him to act like that).
Harry was as loyal as they fucking come, at least to YN, his loyalty was unwavering as well as his dedication to taking care of her and making her happy - it was impossible for YN not to see how stupidly in love he was with her.
And she started to believe in herself over time, in their relationship, and how much she meant to Harry.
It was incredible to watch her confidence grow in their relationship.
It made Harry proud to watch YN never hesitate anymore in what she wants.
She lets Harry spoil her now (within reason), doesnât show any shyness in public situations, and has no issue holding conversations with Harryâs colleagues at business dinners.
He had tattooed her name on his chest, refused to negotiate a prenuptial agreement despite how much Harryâs lawyers had begged and pleaded with him to have one in case of divorce, and began to organize his accounts and businesses to take on YNâs name in half-ownership.
Everyone thought he was fucking insane.
One of the richest men in the world, with billions to lose, and he refused to sign a prenuptial agreement.
The thing was, YN was more than willing to sign one, she wasnât after his money now nor would she be at any point so if he had wanted one signed, she wouldnât have thought twice.
However, even she was shocked that he shut her down the moment she offered to sign one.
âI really donât mind, I wonât be offended, H,â YN had told him softly after heâd gotten another nagging call from his lawyers about it.
âIf we get divorced then my lifeâs already over, you might as well take everything I have because nothingâs more important than you,â Harry had told her firmly, unwavering and sure of his decision.
There was no room to even doubt that YN was it for Harry.
+
It was three weeks until their wedding.
About two until they left for Italy.
Everything had been planned and now there was nothing else to do but wait until the day came.
Wedding planning was easy.
Harry was involved in most steps but always had let YN have lead on what she wanted for their day.
He was agreeable and the only thing he had shut-down the idea of was a brunch the next day after the wedding.
âYou can host a brunch for everyone who flew out. However, we will not be there,â Harry had told the wedding planner as they sat at their dining room table, âI promise you that I will not be sharing my bride during our honeymoon.â
The wedding planner had laughed and their cheeks had twinged pink at the insinuation before babbling about planning it for the family visiting as YN rolled her eyes and pinched his thigh.
Later that night Harry had called him out for being so blunt.
âWhat?â Harry shrugs, unbothered and cocky, âYouâre insane if you think that mâgoing to even let you get dressed the day after our wedding. Youâre going to be my wife, mâgoing to be too busy fulfilling my husbandly duties to have a formal brunch with our families.â
YN couldnât lie about the fact that his words built a warm pit of arousal in her stomach at the thought of their honeymoon and being able to call Harry her husband in a few weeks.
The bachelorette party was tonight which YN had been looking forward to for a while now.
Her college, high school friends, and sister who were going to be in the wedding were coming into town for the night.
Harry had booked all of them all rooms at a luxury hotel in the heart of London for the night before they all headed back home to avoid any drinking and driving or just driving after a long day.
Harry had booked YN the presidential suite (which YN didnât even want to think about the price of) and set up a day of pampering with a personal masseuse coming to the room as well as someone to do a facial, manicure, and pedicure.
She truly had the most thoughtful husband-to-be.
When Bethany was planning the night, YNâs only rule was no strip-clubs.
Harry hadnât set a boundary there, she knew that if she wanted to go to one that he wouldnât stop her because he wasnât like that.
However, YN knows he wouldnât have been happy about her wanting to do that as YNâs stomach churned at the thought of Harry wanting to go to a strip club either - YN had no desire to see any other man nude but her own.
Bethany was easily agreeable, settling for a night of cowgirl themed fun.
YN was dressed in a cute white fringe dress with a cowgirl hat and bedazzled cowgirl boots to match.
All the other girls were dressed similarly with cowgirl hats, boots, and dresses, just not in white.
âYou lookinâ for somethinâ to ride?â Harry murmurs as he slides up behind her as she organizes her purse at the kitchen island, hands coming to her hips to pull her bum back into the cradle of his hips.
âEw, please for the love of god,â Gemma fake gags as she walks into the room, obviously overhearing his comment, and putting a finger in her mouth to mimic making herself sick, âI would have been fine never hearing that.â
YN canât help but laugh at Harryâs put-out frown because he had been totally looking for a reaction from YN and didnât get one because his sister had cockblocked him even though she didnât even have time for a quickie before leaving.
Harry uses the grip on her hips to turn her around, fixing her hat where it had been off-centered, âYouâre going to be safe, right? Donât drink too much and do not put your drink down anywhere, always have an eye on it. Iâll be home all night, if you need me, youâll call me.â
YN leans up to kiss him, thumbing at his frown lines, âIâll be fine. I wonât drink too much and I wonât put my drink down anywhere. Please relax tonight, we wonât be needing to call you. Weâre just having some fun.â
She knows Harry wants her to have fun with her bridesmaids but she also knows what a protective worry wart he will be all night until he gets a call confirming that sheâs safe in her hotel room.
âLet me know the room number youâre staying in, justâŠI donât want to be overbearing but please check in with me a few times?â Harry asks softly, he didnât want to come off as controlling but he just wants to make sure sheâs safe, that was it.
âYouâre not overbearing,â YN shakes her head, eyes fond, âI will check in with you. Please donât spend the whole night anxious.â
âMânot anxious,â Harry denies mulishly as he glares at his sister whoâs snickering, âFuck off, Gems.â
Gemma puts her hands up, âI didnât even say anything!â
âYou were thinking somethinâ,â Harry mumbles as he pulls YN more into his chest for a bear hug.
âJust thinking how disgustingly soft youâve gone,â Gemma laughs, not meanly though, âYou used to not even answer your phone for weeks, now youâre like thisâŠâ
Harry doesnât like the jab.
It was passive-aggressive.
+
There were times before YN where he wouldnât answer their calls for weeks.
And when he would answer, it wouldnât be with pleasantries.
He remembers one of the last times that happened before YN.
Harry had answered after three calls in a row, âWhat the fuck do you want? Iâm busy.â
âHarry,â Gemma sighs, sadness and irritation in her tone, âWe havenât heard from you in nearly a month. We worry about you. The only way we know youâre even alive is through seeing your picture plastered on the front of Daily Mail.â
Harry grits his teeth as he resists the urge to hang up, he had turned into someone who was uncaring, lacking empathy for himself and others, he was a shell of the person he could be.
âIâm fine,â Harry replies tightly, still typing on a report that needed to be sent in within the next fifteen minutes.
âItâs justâŠWe know youâre fine but you donât even check in on us. You know? Mum cries over it. You donât even care about u-â Gemmaâs voice is shaky like sheâs about to cry and Harry canât handle it.
âGod, I donât have time for a fuckinâ guilt trip,â Harry snaps, cutting her off and feeling a hot anger beginning to simmer in his veins, âI donât know what to tell you. I donât know what you want from me.â
âIâŠI just donât know if you even want a relationship with us sometimes, Harry,â Gemma sniffles as she speaks, âDo you even want that?â
âI donât know what the fuck I want,â Harry replies coldly before he does pull the phone away from his ear, hitting the end call button before turning his phone off entirely.
The next time his mum and Gemma had seen Harry was when they met YN, even though it hadnât gone as planned, it was like seeing a new man.
After starting to see YN, Harry started answering text messages more, started inviting them over for dinner, and started calling them to see how they were doing nearly once a week.
Anne and Gemma both had an idea that YN encouraged him to do so, to rebuild the relationship with his mum and sister, for that ... .they couldnât be more grateful for her coming into his life.
Gemma remembers the first time sheâd really seen past her initial doubt of YN and realized that she was genuinely in love with Harry for who he was but also how much he respected her.
+
It was a family dinner at Anneâs.
Harry had a late day in the office, they had been nearly twenty minutes late, and had arrived right when Anne was putting everything on the table.
Where YN was in good spirits as always, Harry was subdued as he normally always is but Gemma was surprised that despite his barely-there greeting to his mum and sister, Harry had still helped YN out of her jacket and got her something to drink before pulling out her chair for her.
Harry ate silently for the most part as Gemma, Anne, and YN engaged in conversation as they were still getting to know each other.
Harry was sipping his wine, without much expression on his face but his arm was around the back of YNâs chair, his hand gently cupping the back of her neck in a simple but intimate gesture as she spoke.
At some point, a passive aggressive jab here and there starts to get thrown towards Harry by Gemma.
Just because Harry was doing better at coming around didnât mean that it still didnât hurt that he treated his family so poorly for so many years and now just because he has a girlfriend heâs a new person.
It didnât make her forget the past.
And maybe thatâs why she gave YN such a hard time in the beginning too because she felt a little resentment because nothing Gemma did could get Harry to want a relationship with them but YN just said the word and he obeyed.
âI wouldnât know about that. Harry hasnât come to Christmas in three years,â Gemma shrugs, not hiding the bite in her tone because it was true.
Three fucking Christmases where Harry never came home.
âEnough,â Harry replies shortly as he makes eye contact with Gemma, putting his fork down and taking another swig of his wine.
YN bites her lip at the interaction, sighing as she nibbles on her buttered roll.
âWhat? Just calling it like it is. You havenât shown up for one single holiday for years, Harry. What did you do those days anyways? Spend it with a girl? With friends? Do you know how that made mum-â Gemma begins to get angrier as she puts down her silverware.
âGemma,â Anne scolds, not wanting a fight to erupt over dinner.
âYou donât know anything,â Harry hissed as his fist clenched on the table, sitting straighter, âI wasnât spending it with a girl or a boy or anyone. I was alone, alone in my fucking house, Gemma. Donât act like you ever really made a fucking effort to check-in on me-â
âHarry,â YN's voice is firmer than Gemmaâs ever heard it, âTheyâre just hurt. They love you and they missed you. If you donât have anything constructive to say back, just listen.â
Anne and Gemma both tense, expecting Harry to turn his anger towards YN and lose it on her for trying to tell him what to do which heâd never ever responded well to in the past.
Anne is about to try to break the tension, to avoid Harry flipping out on YN.
Harry reacts differently than either Anne or Gemma could have anticipated.
His shoulders slump noticeably, his jaw unclenching as he exhales out of his nose, and he looks at YN with something of an apology in his eyes before he nods and quietly says, âI would appreciate it if we could change topics now.â
YN smiles widely, proud of him, and leans in to kiss his cheek before quickly changing the subject back to something more light-hearted.
After dinner, while Anne begins doing the washing up, Gemma goes to use the restroom but stops short when she realizes that Harry and YN are in the hallway talking softly.
âMâsorry, I hate when you see me like that. I justâŠThey donât know that it wasnât anything to do with them but how fucking depressed I was and I get defensive,â Harry says lowly, frustrated.
Gemmaâs heart hurts at that.
She knew he wasnât in the best mindset but she didnât know how bad his mental health was which does make her feel a bit guilty of not making more of an effort.
She had taken his distance as him wanting no relationship with his family - not that he was struggling too much to be around them.
Gemma peeks around the corner, to get a view of them.
Harry has his back against the wall, YN pressed into his space as his hands are wrapped around her waist, looking down at her with an expression that Gemma doesnât recognize on his face.
âStop apologizing, H,â YN murmurs to him, her hand running along his jawline as she speaks, âIâm just so proud of how far youâve come to work through those struggles. Thatâs all that matters now.â
Harry nods in agreement as he leans down to rest his forehead against hers.
âI donât deserve you,â Harry murmurs as she nudges her nose against his, âI love you more than anything else on this earth. YouâreâŠyouâre just everything to me.â
âI love you more,â YN hums back, a quirk at the corner of her lips like she knows it will get a reaction out of him.
It works.
Harry quickly flips them so that sheâs pressed into the wall.
However, thatâs Gemmaâs cue because when she hears him start to talk about how later heâll âshow her how much he loves herâ than she wants to physically get ill.
+
However, Harry has come a long way in his attitude (at least with his family).
As they stand in the kitchen, Harry decides to ignore the passive-aggressive jab that Gemma throws about being âtoo softâ because he wants to snap at her but just moves on.
âThe car is here,â Gemma reports when her phone dings, âWe should get going.â
YN leans up on her tiptoes to give Harry another kiss, âIâll miss you.â
âIâll miss you more,â Harry replies as he bites at the corner of his lip, âPlease be safe. Just one call and Iâll be there.â
âI know, H. We wonât need that though. Just relax tonight,â YN reminds him even though she knows it is fruitless at this point because heâs a little worry wart when it comes to her.
+
Everything was going good until they got to their third club of the night.
It was getting close to midnight by the time they arrived, having reserved a booth, and ordered drinks as they sat down at their table.
YN had a nice buzz going on, her goal was to stay tipsy for most of the night, getting drunk before pulling back and drinking water for a little bit to settle it all down.
Everyone was having so much fun, at the first bar which was more dive than anything else, had a mechanical bull that they all had taken turns, and some of the bridesmaids getting thrown off comically fast.
This third club was relatively busy with bumping music and cocktail waitresses walking around with bottles of grey goose on ice in big buckets, it wasnât YNâs normal scene but she was enjoying it tonight.
Until another group of girls arrive that sit at the booth across from them.
From the very beginning, YN doesnât like the vibe they give off.
Theyâre constantly staring over at their booth, whispering amongst themselves even in the loud room, and giggling like theyâre making fun of them which YN doesnât understand because she doesnât even know these girls.
She looks over at them and definitely has never met any of them which means there should obviously be no issues between them.
The other bridesmaids notice the behavior too, which is when they decide to start winding down for a while, moving towards a second bar in the club that was further away from the music and craziness.
It wasnât necessarily quiet but it was much more calm, relaxed in this area where they could all sit at a high-top table and talk without screaming over each other which was a nice change from the other places theyâd been at so far.
Once again, everything is going fine until that same group of girls trail in only a few minutes after YNâs group to find a table very close to theirs, eyes flickering over at them like earlier.
YN and her friends discuss the weird behavior but decide to just ignore it because theyâre not going to let it ruin their night and she doesnât want to make a mountain out of a molehill.
As it gets deeper into the early mornings, the bar has nearly cleared out completely, most of the patrons going back towards the dance floor or stumbling home drunk by now.
YN and her bridesmaids were still having fun, gossiping and playing drinking games, and enjoying the night - having completely forgotten about the other table of girls until it was only them left in the bar with YNâs group.
YNâs buzz had faded however and realized that she was sober by now from her lack of alcohol in the past two hours which inspired her to go over to the bar to order something to get the edge back.
As she sits at the bar, someone slides onto the barstool beside her, and YN turns - expecting it to be one of her friends but it isnât.
Itâs a girl from the other group.
She was tall, blonde, and pretty but YN felt put-off by the smile on her face.
âCongratulations,â The girl smiles as she nods towards YNâs outfit, it didnât seem genuine though but more condescending.
âThank you,â YN replies not to be rude but looks back towards the bartender after that.
âIâm glad to see that Harry has finally settled for someone after losing me,â She shrugs nonchalantly, acting like her comment wasnât absurd.
YNâs eyes widen in surprise, taken aback for a second as she turns towards her again, âExcuse me?â
The blonde has an innocent look on her face, âOh, you donât know me? Iâm sure heâs talked about me. Or maybe it hurt him too much. After how much he begged for me to stay with him, Iâd be embarrassed too.â
In the beginning of the relationship, this would have absolutely rocked YN, and destroyed her for a while because it played into all of her insecurities.
These beautiful women whoâve had a relationship with Harry would make her jealous and lower her self-esteem.
Now sheâs able to smell bullshit from ten miles away.
YN knows for a fact that the girl is lying because of how extensively YN and Harry have discussed their dating histories.
Harry was extremely upfront about his past.
His one relationship through high school and the start of his career and then after that, no relationships, a few dates, and multiple partners that were nothing more than one-night stands.
Harry had admitted to her his patterns, finding a random hook-up and leaving right after theyâd finished, no matter how much the girl asked that he stayed - he told her that with a bit of shame of not being more empathetic towards the girls.
YN knew without a shadow of a doubt that this girl was lying.
âI bet,â YN snorts out a laugh, showing exactly how unbothered she is.
The girl doesnât appreciate that, her face drops when she realizes that she doesnât have the upper hand in the situation, and that her words didnât affect YN the way that she wanted them to.
It was more obvious that this girl had most likely been burned by Harry and was angry about it still if YN was to guess - she wanted more with Harry and he didnât give into it.
âYou donât believe me?â The blonde asks in disbelief, ignoring the drink the bartender slides to her.
âNot for a moment, babe,â YN smiles, matching that condescending tone.
Because not only has YN grown into being more self-confident and empowered, Harry has also shown her a lot about how important it is that she stands up for herself, she doesnât always have to be nice, and use manners.
Itâs okay to be rude to people who arenât being nice to you.
Before Harry, YN was more of a people pleaser who didnât want to rock the boat and would sometimes let herself be walked over because of it but now, well now she wasnât going to let this happen with this girl sitting beside her.
The woman hesitates for a moment, not prepared for this but then she says something to prove her knowledge of Harry, âYou donât believe me? Then how would I know that Harry has a small pink scar, you know where Iâm talking about, donât you?â
YN does know exactly what sheâs talking about.
Sheâs well acquainted with the small scar that she often will land a kiss on when sheâs kissing down his belly.
A small scar to the right, just above the base of him from where heâd cut himself shaving as a teenager, the first time heâd tried to do some manscaping and failed miserably.
YN still teased him about it sometimes.
The comment didnât trigger anything other than annoyance.
She was confident, sure of her relationship with Harry.
She acknowledges that Harry has slept with other people before they met, just as she had slept with a few before him who could name a defining feature on her body too - it wasnât a big deal.
At the end of the day, YN was the one in Harryâs bed at night, with a rock on her finger, her name on his chest, and a wedding in Italy planned in less than a month where Harry had given her everything she wanted.
Before YN can respond, a few of her friends trail over, concerned once they realize that she was sitting at the bar with a girl from the other group.
âIs there an issue here?â Bethany steps in, putting her hands on the back of YNâs barstool.
âMy new friend here, wait sorry, I didnât catch your name?â YN plasters the fakest smile back on her face.
âCarmen,â She replies tersely, shoulders tight and an unhappy tilt to her lips.
âCarmen here thought that it was necessary to come over to her and inform me that she has slept with Harry,â YN lays out, hoping she realizes how absurd what she had done was.
The other girls in YNâs group visibly tense, completely unaware how YN felt about it because if they were in her shoes - it would be difficult for them to hear.
âThatâs quite literally the most bizarre thing I have ever heard,â Bethany shakes her head as she looks at the girl, âWhy did you find that important to do? Are you trying to ruin her bachelorette party? What the fuck did she ever do to you?â
Carmen straightens her shoulder, more defensive, âYou guys have been walking around this club like you own it and I decided to knock you down a few notches. You think youâre hot shit because youâre marrying some douchebag billionaire but I just wanted to remind you that youâre not the only person whoâs fucked him.â
The bridesmaids audibly gasp at the words that leave the girls mouth, a few of them about to kick off their heels to start throwing punches but are all really waiting for YNâs reaction because theyâll go based off of her.
And if YN was being honest, she would love to slap this girl right across the face but sheâs better than that, she wonât give into this girlâs shitty behavior because at the end of the day, it doesnât bother her.
âI may not be the only one whoâs fucked him,â YN agrees, still keeping her tone casual and calm, even taking a sip of her cocktail, âHowever, Iâm the only one who gets to fuck him for the rest of our lives. Iâm sorry you didnât make a big enough impression on him to get this.â
YN doesnât care that itâs cocky and arrogant when she sticks out her left hand, the massive diamond on her finger sparkled beautifully in the dim lighting, and it was a jaw-dropping piece of jewelry.
âThe difference between you and I, Carmen, is that Harry wouldnât even remember who you are whereas I could go home right now and get the thing that you obviously want from him,â YN chuckles as she slips off the barstool, âHave a great night.â
âFucking bitch,â Carmen seethes, her drink was nearly empty but there was maybe a sip left at the bottom, and she takes her glass, throwing hte contents over YNâs white dress.
Thereâs not much, however the red dye from the grenadine in her mixed drink would undeniably stain the material, and chaos erupts for a minute as YN quite literally has to hold back one of her feistier friends from attacking.
âItâs fine, itâs fine,â YN assures them, still calm and not going to let it escalate any further, she had her fun but she was pretty much sober by this point and really really wanted to go home.
Not to her hotel but to Harry.
What YN didnât know is the moment that Gemma had gotten a whiff of what was going on and what was likely to transpire, she had texted Harry that it might be best for him to come down.
The two groups of girls separate, going back to their respective tables, and still glaring at each other while YN sighs, rubbing the corner of her eye for a moment because the night wasnât nearly as fun anymore and this was the last club.
However, her friends were still in party mode and had just ordered another round of drinks - a bit too impaired still to sense that YN wasnât as engaged anymore in the activities especially because she was sticky from the drink and those girls were still harassing them.
Itâs maybe fifteen minutes later, of the other group of girls occasionally making a loud comment or bumping a chair âaccidentallyâ on the way to the bar, and YN is about to call it, even if it disappoints her friends.
Suddenly, the room gets suspiciously silent, the only sound is the dull music in the background.
YNâs confused as to why her friends stopped talking out of nowhere and now she didnât hear the other group of girls either.
When she turns to look around, sheâs realizes why everyoneâs gone silent because Harry was standing in the doorway with a eerirely blank face but his jaw was ticked in a sure tell that he was fucking livid.
Harry doesnât walk over to YNâs table first which surprises her, unsure of what is going on at the moment, and instead he strides right over to the group of other girls who are staring wide-eyed and gaped at him.
âCan someone at this table please tell me who the fuck is interfering with my fiancĂ©eâs bachelorette party?â Harry asks in a deadly serious, firm voice but still manages to be steady and monotone.
Itâs comical, the girls looking over at Carmen but YN realizes (and so do other girls at that table) that Harry doesnât even remember which one of them he slept with to call them out.
Another wound to Carmenâs ego.
The girls at the table are at least a little frightened which made sense because Harry was the most intimidating person that YN had ever met in her life.
They also donât want to put their friend on the spot so they all stay silent.
âYou better play it up,â Bethany murmurs to YN and all the girls agree with her, little giggles echoing through their group.
For a minute, she doesnât realize what they mean until it clicks.
Oh, she definitely knows how to not only pull at Harryâs heartstrings but show these girls just how crazy he is about her (if him showing up wasnât already sign enough).
âSince no one wants to talk,â Harry finally looks at the table, âYN, my love, can you come over here for a minute?â
âTime to shine,â Gemma laughs under her breath as they give her an encouraging shove.
YN has a napkin in her hand, beginning to dab at her eyes like sheâs tearful, and even manages a convincing sniffle as she makes her way over to them, siding up next to Harry.
He automatically tugs her into his side, a little bit behind her, âWhich one is claiming to be the one I begged to stay?â
The condescending tone made it ten times more embarrassing for Carmen.
âHer,â YN convincingly stutters her words, just enough like sheâs so choked up with emotion that she can barely even speak.
Harryâs eyes narrow on Carmen, showing absolutely no recongition or familiarity as he checks her over with judgement clear on his face, âWhat the fuck is wrong with you? You really are that nasty of a person that you want the bride to be crying at her own bachelorette party?â
All the girls get ruffled at that, disagreeing because they all knew that YN was faking it, and Carmen is the one who calls it out, affronted, âShe literally just started this bullshit act when you arrived! She wasnât acting like this before!â
Harry broadens his shoulders, âYouâre the one I fucked?â
Carmenâs face drops, eyes avoiding her friendâs stares because if YN was to guess, she made up a big story about how much Harry had loved her, wanted her, and then she turned him down.
They were realizing now that their friend was full of shit.
Carmen snarls, backed into a corner now, âDonât act like you forget! You begged me to stay after I got up to leave.â
Harry lets out a startling loud bark of laughter that even makes YN jump, it slices through the thick air, and heâs smiling so much his dimples are popping as he sobers up enough to talk.
âThe only person Iâve begged to stay in my bed is that one that has a ring on her finger,â Harry replies surely, squeezing YNâs hip, âI surely did not beg you to stay in bed. And though I wouldnât be able to point you out in a crowd, I think I may remember you throwing an absolute fit when I got up to get dressed.â
Harry snaps his fingers like something has suddenly hit him, âYouâre the girl who followed me all the way to the elevator, begging me to give you a chance. Am I right? I am right.â
YNâs group of friends have to cough to disguise their laughter.
âFuck you,â Carmen hisses angrily, her hand clenching her drink.
âI highly doubt Iâll ever see you again. Especially in the next few weeks when Iâll be in Italy, celebrating the fact that Iâm about to marry this woman next to me, and in a few weeks youâll probably be just as miserable,â Harry tells her as his thumb rubs a soothing circle on YNâs hip.
âYouâre a fucking dickhead,â The blonde retorts as tears start to well in her eyes.
âI hope you take this humiliation as a lesson to mind your own fucking business. When you think about ruining someone elseâs night, remember this. I hope your friends realize how foul of a person you are,â Harry gives them all a glance before heâs stepping back and bringing YN along with him.
Harry, just off to the side, where that group of girls can still see them pulls her into a hug.
âIâm sorry your night was ruined,â Harry murmurs into her hair before heâs tucking a finger under her chin to bring their lips together, âI am so embarrassed on my end. This is my fucking fault from being stupid and just sleeping with whoever was available when I was-â
âYou know Iâm not really upset, right?â YN giggles in his hold when he frowns, âI was just doing it to get a reaction out of them. Thereâs nothing to apologize for or feel embarrassed about, H. I know youâve slept with other people, so have I.â
Harry bares his teeth at that, eyes getting a bit more dilated, âOnly one whoâs given it to you good is me, right baby? Only one youâll ever need now because I give you everything you want, hm?â
âSâthe main reason Iâm marrying you,â YN teases as she presses a bit closer to him which in turn makes his hand tighten on the small of her back, keeping her right where she is, âBut I donât knowâŠI donât know if I compare to all your many conquestsâŠ.Beautiful woman who-â
Harry cuts her off with a harsh kiss, enough to sting when his teeth bump her lip for a moment but it doesnât deter him from taking what he wanted until he pulls back just the slightest, âDonât you fucking dare ever compared yourself to anyone else. Sâyou, youâre it for me. Never had anything better. I never begged for anything in my life before you. Now I beg on the daily, donât I, pet? Beg for your kisses, your mouth on me. Beg for you to sit your pretty cun-â
âOkay, okay,â YN begins to feel the heat in her belly rise up, âWeâre still in public, macho man.â
âI canât fucking wait until your my wife,â Harry rumbles as he steals a few more kisses, uncaring of anyone who may be watching or in the room as he shows a little possessiveness over her.
âI canât wait either, H,â YN replies with one more softer kiss, âThank you for coming down here and standing up for me.â
âAnytime,â Harry says as heâs finally detaching his hand from her bum before he turns a bit sheepish, âI was scared, a bit. Itâs fucking embarrassing.â
âItâs not-â YN begins to argue but is cut off when someone wraps their arm around her shoulder.
âShall we continue this party back at the hotel?â Her friend, Gabby, half-slurs as the others come to join them, all of them chirping and hollering in agreement at continuing the party from here on out.
âI think Iâm just going to have a quiet rest of the night girls,â YN tells them, she was tired and a bit stressed for whatever reason, and she was stone cold sober.
The girls are amazing, they donât try to argue or guilt-trip her but instead ask if sheâd be upset if they continued the party without her which of course she didnât, she encouraged them to be safe and to continue the fun.
They decide they wanted to stay at the club a bit longer and all gave YN long hugs (and a few kisses) which made Harry roll his eyes as he waited off to the side for her until she bounds over and he walks her out.
âLetâs get you to the hotel,â Harry hums as he opens her car door for her.
âNo,â YN frowns, not getting into the car but instead glaring at him.
âNo?â Harry replies dumbly.
âI want to go home, to our home with you,â YN clarifies as if she didnât make it obvious before (maybe she didnât).
Itâs Harryâs turn to frown, âAreâŠare you sure? This is supposed to be your night and of course, because of me it was fuckinâ ruined, wasnât it?â
âHarry,â YN tries but Harry has gone cold, motioning her once again to get into the car and this time she doesnât argue as he walks quickly around, gets in the driverâs seat, and revs the engine before peeling out of the parking lot.
Harryâs knuckles were white on the steering wheel.
âI donât understand why youâre so upset, H,â YN tells him honestly, hands anxiously twisting on her lap.
Harry scoffs loudly, âLike it isnât obvious? Iâm upset because I ruined your night. Iâm upset because I fucked up so much by sleeping with those stupid fucking girls, girls that I didnât even like. Now because I did that, you have to deal with the consequences of my actions. Do you know how embarrassing that is? For my fiancĂ©e to be out at her bachelorette party, only to be harassed by a girl I had sex with one time and I didnât even remember her? I hate that I was like that.â
âThe only thing ruining my night is this,â YN snaps back, letting the frustration roll over her, âI was so fucking proud of myself because I handled myself so well. I didnât get jealous or insecure when she confronted me. She even knew about the scar you have and it didnât bother me. I thought youâd be proud of me.â
Harryâs melts right then and there, she can almost physically feel the anger exiting his body as he reaches over to put his hand on her thigh, eyes apologetic as he glances over at her, âMâheart, I amâŠI am so good damn proud of you. Itâs just hard because these things happen because of mistakes Iâve made before I met you. I hated the person I was. I donât like when I get confronted with my past. I am sorry I overlooked how well you handled the situation.â
âI justâŠI feel like Iâve come a long way from when we first started dating,â YN shrugs as she picks at a loose thread on her dress, moving to kick off her cowboy boots as they were starting to get uncomfortable on her aching feet, âI donât hold anything youâve done before we got together against you and youâre not that person anymore. It doesnât feel great to have someone share an intimate detail about your soon-to-be-husband about their bits but I managed to stay level headed.â
Harryâs face twists at that, affronted, âWhat the fuck did she say about my cock?â
YN snorts at the typical response, âDonât worry. She mentioned knowing about the little scar above it.â
Harry shakes his head in disgust, âSâa bit creepy how much she remembers from a one-time-hookup.â
âShouldnât be showing your bits to just anyone,â YN chirps back, now teasing because the tension has faded into something comfortable and just them again.
Harry scowls as he looks ahead at the road, âIt doesnât matter anymore. Youâre the only person whoâll ever be seeing âem again.â
âI just hope you donât run into all of the three people I slept with before you,â YN hums, biting her lip as she looks out the window because she knows for a fact it will get a reaction out of him because heâs a jealous son of a bitch.
It works beautifully, his hand resting on her thigh inches further up under the hem of her dress, fingertips brushing the lace before he gives her a squeeze rough enough to make want to moan.
Then he may just do the sexiest thing YNâs ever witnessed.
Still looking forward, one hand on the wheel, and the other on her - he moves further between her thighs until heâs cupping her mound through her thin underwear possessively, âThis is mine, isnât it? She wasnât even treated right before me so those other pricks donât even count.â
âHarry,â YN whines out, trying to adjust her hips to get some friction going against his palm but heâs not budging.
âAnswer me,â Harry prompts as he gives her nothing to work with.
YN canât even remember the question for a second, her mind fuzzy from arousal.
âItâs yours,â YN agrees breathlessly, hoping to get rewarded, âOnly one to make me feel good.â
âThatâs fuckinâ right,â Harry rumbles proudly, thumb moving to brush against her swollen clit before stilling again, âAnd you know what else, my heart?â
âHm?â YN manages but her brain-to-mouth filter was malfunctioning as her core pulses for more.
âYouâve said in the past that you havenât been any of my firsts but do you know how untrue that is? Iâve never had sex with someone Iâve been in love with before you. You know how I love to lay you out and make you come so many times you can barely keep your legs open? Iâve never even had the desire to do that before you. I care one hundred times more about getting you off than if I do.â
âTouch me,â YN groaned because she was throbbing by this point.
Harry sighs, shaking his head, âIâve just poured my heart out of you. Confessed my love, confessed that youâre the first person Iâve really enjoyed sex with and Iâll I get back is a âtouch meâ?â
He mimics her whiny tone when he repeats what she says which makes her grit her teeth.
âIâm sorry,â YN provides without any real feeling behind it.
Harry laughs now, more of a fond shake of his head, âDarling, you didnât even try to sound sincere. You spoiled lilâ thing.â
âYeah because I want you to make me come. Youâre all fucking talk at this point,â YN snaps at him because the sexual frustration was real and sheâd gone through too much bullshit and excitement to be teased like this.
Harry glances over at her with heat behind his eyes, âIâm all talk, am I?â
It always worked to challenge him, Harry was easy in that way, always wanting to prove he was this tough alpha man who could give his girl what she needed at all times.
âSeems to be,â YN rolls her eyes which she knows gets on his nerves.
âWeâll see âbout that,â Harry replies but his voice had gone even deeper, if that was possible, and his accent was getting thicker with each syllable.
Harryâs moves quickly now, still impressively focused on the road as he roughly tugs her underwear to the side, his thumb finding her clit right away and pressing with enough pressure that she tries to twitch away from the blunt sensitivity before settling into it.
On top of that, his index and middle finger curl up inside to pet at her walls, and nudging at the sensitive spot makes her want to clench her legs together from the stimulation.
YNâs hand unconsciously moves to wrap around the wrist of the hand thatâs working her over, just grabbing it but not trying to move it.
And embarrassingly, the thought that occurs to her is that in a few weeks that same hand thatâs getting her off will have a beautiful gold band on it signifying that heâs all hers in every way is enough to make her come.
Harry removes his hand, having no shame is putting the same fingers into his mouth - something that had absolutely shocked her to see when they first started dating but now only serves to make her wetter.
âI always thought that married life would be boring, you know? Sâwhy I gave up on looking for so long,â Harry tells her with that same teasing lift in his tone, âI thought itâd be the same oleâ same oleâ everyday until I keel over. Never imagined I woudl have the prettiest girl Iâve ever seen in my passenger seat, letting me fuck her with my fingers on the way home. Thatâs some amazinâ married life, huh?â
YN knows thereâs some truth behind his dirty talk but she has also heard him talk so many times about the real reason heâs so excited to make her his wife because of how much he loves her, how he could never imagine being with someone else, how heâd never want anyone else, how sheâs the other only heâd ever want to be the mother of his children.
However, how fiery, passionate, and fierce their sex life was didnât hurt either.
There were so many reasons why YN didnât let insecurities get to her anymore because how could she?
Any thoughts of the events of that night faded once they got into the safe space of their home, where they didnât even make it up stairs before Harry was whispering the softest, most loving things as she rode him on a random decorative chair in the foyer.
God, married life was going to be great.
