Watching You

68|A Mother's Grace

Harry's pov

"Yeah you think so?" I asked softly

Alexis had been reading my book over my shoulder for a few chapters now and she was making a guess on who the killer was

"Mhm he seems the most sketch"

"But isn't being the most sketch like a dead give away?"

"More often then not they're the killer anyway"

"I'll let you know when I finish"

"Is that from the publishing company you just bought?" She asked getting up from the bed

"Yeah they send me either first copies or one of the first batch"

It was the weekend so we had just laid in bed till around 12 but I guess she finally felt the spur of productivity she walked into the bathroom "That's cool" she started to undress

I saw that from the corner of my eye but as soon as I realized what she was doing I closed my book and watched her full on with no shame

She noticed me as she was taking her hair down all bare now aside from her boxers "what's wrong with your book?" She asked fluffing out her hair digging out some clips from what used to be the underside of her bun

"I found something more entertaining" I grinned

She smirked walked over and went to shut the door "WAIT!" I whined and sat up

"What?" She cocked an eyebrow

And I didn't think of an answer quick enough ,she closed the door, but in my defense she was shirtless and braless I mean I can only focus on so many things at once

My phone rang and I let myself fall back into bed I rubbed my face letting out an irritated sigh

I waited till what I was pretty sure would be the last ring before I sat up and looked

Joycelynn

I quickly grabbed it and answered "hello?"

"Harry?"

"Yes?"

I heard a small whimper "I'm so sorry"

I frowned deeply "so... you read the corners report?"

"Mhm" she sniffled softly "I need to see you and I need to meet the woman who left me that message"

"Are you still in the US?" It's been about a week since we saw each other

"Yeah I'm driving back to you from Florida now, well my driver is but you know"

"when do you want to meet?"

"About an hour from now if that's possible"

I looked toward the bathroom "I'll talk to her and I'll let you know"

"Please come I'll be at that Italian place , Gustavo's, not too far from you" she sounded like she was pleading with me

"Don't worry we'll be there"

"Thank you" she hung up and I stared down at my phone

I tossed it onto the nightstand I got up and walked into the bathroom "Baby?"

"Yes?" She called back from behind the frosted glass of the shower

"My mother called" I was a tad surprised when she opened the shower door peeking out at me covering her chest with one arm

"What did she say?"

"She wants to meet you"

She frowned "meet me? Why would she wanna meet me?"
