Destined To Be

Chapter 24

"I scheduled the shoot to be a week later." Harry huffs into the phone.

"I can't." He says.

"Fine! Okay. See you there." He hangs up and lets out a fustrated sigh.

"What happened?" I ask as I look up at him.

"I have to travel to L.A. tomorrow for a shoot." He says sadly as he kisses the top of my head.

"Oh." Is all I say.

L.A. brings back all the haunting times of my life that I have been suffering with for all these months.

"You don't have to come." He whispers softly.

"I know... but I can't be alone here either. And I can't exactly go back to India." I sigh and sit up. The thin covers that we had on, falls to my lap.

And it is now that I realise that we're both very much naked. And it's cold...and I'm freezing.

"Here." Harry smiles and hands me over his T-shirt that he was wearing last night.

I smile and take it from and put it on, "What about you?" I ask.

"Here." He grabs his duffle bag, "My gym bag, I always have extra clothes in this." He opens the zipper and takes out a T-shirt, a shorts and a sweat pant.

"Wear this." He hands me the sweat pant and I happily put it on.

I love wearing his clothes, his scent in it makes me feel so at home...it's intoxicating.

Meanwhile, Harry puts on his t-shirt and shorts.

We're currently in the diggy of his Range Rover, where we spent the night. Well, it wasn't comfortable, but it was a complete bliss. Just the two of us, and nothing else.

"You know I'll always protect you, right?"He sits up beside me and says in his morning raspy voice, which sounds extra hot.

"I know." I smile softly.

"You know what I think?" He says as he wraps his arms around my shoulders, pulling me close.

"What?" I ask.

"I think you should think of this as a new beginning. Don't let the past haunt you. Move on, start again. Give your life a new chance." He says gently.

I go quiet for few seconds, letting the words sink in.

I know he is right. I can't be living like this anymore. Scared. Terrified. Haunted.

I need to live, explore and love my life. I need to move on from the scars of my past...and give life a new chance.

"What are you thinking, baby?" He asks as he kisses me cheek.

I chortle, "You don't wanna get into my mind right now." I say.

"What am I here for?" He smiles.

"You're a pretty good distraction." I wink, and he laughs.

"Well, I'm glad I could help." He says proudly.

Just then, we hear a vibration. We both look at each other. Harry looks at his phone and shakes his head, telling my thst it's not his phone that's ringing.

He then leans back and extends his arm backwards and grabs my clutch from the passenger seat, and gives it to me.

I take out the blaring phone, and groan looking at the name on the screen.

Pops, it read.

"Who is it?" Harry asks.

I turn the phone screen so that Harry could see.
