Chapter 14

Ed's POV:

I gave Melanie a glare that one Melanie would recognize. I tugged at Noël's arm as we moved towards the staircase. We quickly went up to her room and sat close to the door to eavesdrop on Harry and Oswin's conversation. Melanie came in shortly after.

"What was that for?" Melanie and Noël asked me as Melanie joined us on the floor.

"I think that Harry might like Oswin." I said as I looked at Melanie, disregarding Noël, hoping she wasn't interested.

"He told me he didn't know." Noël chipped in.

"Wait, you talked him?" I turned quickly to Noël.

"Mhm... But I have a feeling I wasn't supposed to tell you." She giggled.

Melanie and I looked at each other, confused.

Then the yelling stopped and nothing was heard.

No talking.

No shuffling of feet.

No movement.

"What the h--?" I started but Melanie stopped me and threw her hand over my mouth.

Then there were murmurs of their voices again.

"Ha!" Melanie exclaimed quietly.

Noël looked at both of us confused.

I smiled weakly as I got up and pulled them up with me.

"Let's go downstairs! I wanna see what they're doing!" Noël exclaimed as she clumped down the stairs.

"Do you think--?" Melanie asked and I only nodded.

We both followed Noël down the stairs only to find Oswin in the same place she was and Harry in his.

Noël was jumping up and down, eager to know what happened.

"What about if we finish the other story of how Ed and Melanie met?" Oswin offers.

"Actually, Oswin, it's bedtime for Noël." Melanie said, putting a hand on Noël's head.

Noël groaned, frustrated.

"Get upstairs and put your pajamas on and brush your teeth." I added as Noël slowly made her way up the staircase.

After she was all the way up the stairs, we instantly looked at the two of them.

"What happened?" Melanie asked, tapping her fingers on the countertop.

"Uh," Harry laughed as Oswin looked at her feet.

"You guys didn't do anything in on my precious counter, did you?" I said, worried.

Harry gave me a mean look as he said, "Ed, who do you think I am?"

"Harry." I glared at him.

Oswin and Melanie seemed to be having a different conversation than us that consisted of a lot squealing and happiness.

"Well, we made up and we kissed." Harry told me, getting both of the women's attention back.

I nodded my head, containing my excitement.

Harry really did love Oswin. He always told me back in the day that if he ever got the chance to data Oswin, he would do everything to sweep her off her feet. He didn't go out with her though, they were just great mates, always texting and meeting up. He just thought it would my chances of being with Melanie. But now it was his chance.

"I think I'm going to turn in," Harry spoke up again, getting up from his stool.

Harry looked at Oswin, expecting something.

"Me too, where's my room?" Oswin asked, gravitating to Harry.

"Well, figuring that you two made up, you guys can share a room, can't you?" Melanie asked.

"Mhm," Harry hummed as he whisked Oswin off to the guest bedroom.

After they were gone, I pulled Melanie close to me by her waist, making sure our noses were touching.

"How about we turn in too?" I asked her.

"Alright, but no frisky business, mister. We have guests and a child in the house." Melanie waved her finger in my face, warning me.

"But you know that's exactly what Harry and Oswin are going to be doing!" I pouted.

Melanie shrugged as she started to run upstairs to our bedroom.
